As of today, 69,400 shots have arrived in Oregon — at sites receiving state allocations like local public health partners, at federal sites like Tribal health clinics and at pharmacies,” Sidelinger said. “OHA expects two waves of orders to be delivered this week, or 75,500 doses. We also expect a similar number, another 75,500, to be delivered to pharmacies, for a total of at least 150,000, which we believe is enough supply to meet initial demand.”Thenew came out as the state reported cases counts and hospitalizations continued to drop.

The idea of that thrift store began to move toward reality when Johnson met Steve Davis. Davis had worked a thrift store for years and also had the dream of a high-end store to assist a nonprofit agency.

“It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears,” Johnson said. “We signed our lease agreement in March and didn’t open until the end of August.”

making it the high-end thrift store Johnson and Davis had in mind.

“The Food and Drug Administration and the CDC, followed by the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup, gave emergency use authorization to new, Omicron-targeting COVID-19 boosters for the fall,” Sidelinger said. “The decision means more than 2.7 million Oregonians are now eligible to receive a booster dose. The approved Moderna bivalent booster is authorized for persons 18 and older, while the Pfizer booster can be given to persons 12 and older.”The bivalent booster targets the BA.5 and BA.4 subvariants, which make up almost all of the new cases in Oregon and across theThenation.updated booster will be the best way to protect ourselves and those around us from severe illness and hospitalization caused by the dominant BA.5 and BA.4 COVID-19 subvariants,” Sidelinger said. “The updated booster, from either manufacturer, is safe and effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations and even death.”

Police Chief Chris Chapanar told the city council the amendment would give people parked illegally, usually in RVs, a 24-hour notice to move their vehicle of make it legal before the vehicle is towed.

“This space is a little smaller than we wanted, but we loved that is was downtown, and we quickly saw the vision of what it could look like,” Johnson said.

A new version of the COVID-19 vaccine that is designed to specifically target the latest variants of Omicron are now available across Oregon.

While the number of doses available Wednesday was low, Sidelinger said more doses are coming, and he expects there will be enough to meet the need across the state.

Since OHA’s last update, on Aug. 17, daily reported case counts have decreased from a rolling seven-day average of 817 cases reported Aug. 17, to 495 reported Sept. 6,” Sidelinger said. “This continues to track the trends that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting nationally. In Oregon, test positivity dropped from 9.2% reported the week of Aug. 21 to 8.0% reported the week of AugHospitals28.” are also seeing fewer patients as the case count drops.

Since the day she took over as executive director of the Nancy Devereaux Center, Tara Johnson has been asked repeatedly about opening a thrift store to support theAndcenter.for years, she always said no. For Johnson, the reason was simple - there are enough thrift stores in the community. But in the back of her mind, she kept the possibility open. But only if the Devereaux Center could open a high-end thrift store that was different than the existing nonprofit stores in the area.

So when donations come in, clothing that can be given to the homeless is kept at the Devereaux Center and only the highend items are brought to Dream Again. The challenge will always be getting quality donations, but

The city of Coos Bay amended its parking ordinance last week to give people parked illegally one final chance to make their vehicles legal before they are parked.

“Steve and I started talking about in December,” Johnson said. “I made a presentation to the board, and they were all in agreement.”SoinJanuary, Johnson and Davis began looking for a location to open what would become the Dream Again Thrift Emporium. But finding the right location was not easy.

“We wanted to be somewhere we knew there would be a draw,” Johnson said. “We looked at places everywhere from Empire to Bunker Hill to North Bend.”

All persons should take precautions when engag ing in activities that may involve swine contact.

Precautions include hand hygiene before and after exposure to animals, avoid ing eating or drinking in animal areas, and avoiding close contact with animals that look or act ill.

CCD staff administered the Port EDF loan funds and was a lending partner for nearly 30 years.

Medical Information

To date, no per son-to-person spread associated with the five recent variant influenza virus infections has been identified.

Most cases report pig exposure or fair attendance.

Swine influenza has not been shown to be transmis sible to people through eat ing properly handled and prepared pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs.

People who are at higher risk for influenza com plications should avoid exposure to pigs and swine barns at fairs this year. If you cannot avoid exposure to pigs, you should wear a well-fitting mask that cov ers the nose and mouth and you should perform hand hygiene frequently.

the Port Commission with the foresight to initiate the loan fund were Robert Pierce, James Fleck, Ken Messerle, Phyllis Stinnett and Hugh McNeil. Alex Linke, Port manager at the time, championed the idea and saw it through. CCD Business Development provided its expertise to manage the loan portfolio and proved an invaluable partner throughout the life of the InitialFund.members of the Port EDF Board were the five Port commissioners above plus Kurt Smith, Martin Stone, and the late Dan Almich and Ted Bowles. Harry Slack and Reg Pullen were appointed a month later.

The infections are thought to happen main ly when an infected pig coughs or sneezes and droplets with influenza vi rus in them spread through the air. If these droplets land in your nose or mouth, or are inhaled, you can be infected.There also is some evidence that you might get infected by touching something that has virus on it and then touching your own mouth or nose. A third way to possibly get infected is to inhale particles containing influ enza virus. Scientists aren’t really sure which of these ways of spread is the most common.

Melody Gillard-Juarez helped secure the loans from the federal govern ment, and has served as the administrative aide to the non-profit since its formation.Themost recent Board is comprised of Goddard, Pe ter Braun, Reg Pullen, Jill Halliburton, Bryan Ibach, Rick Goche, Wayne Butler, Walt Dodrill, Wade Lester and Kayce Mcgilvery.

and the person’s location had not been publicly released by Lincoln County Health and Human Ser vices as of this report.

Most commonly, human infections with swine influ enza virus, now called vari ant virus infections, occur in people with exposure to infected pigs. For example, children near pigs at a fair or workers in the swine industry, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

One case of human infection with an influenza variant that usually spreads only in pigs has been reported in Oregon and five cases have been report ed nationally in August, according to a release from Lincoln County Health and Human Services.

I want to tell my parents, but I’m afraid it will inevitably lead to my siblings knowing. I don’t think if my younger siblings knew they would care, but they might be confused or weirded out since the concept is foreign to them.

I have been raised to stand up to bullies, and I am mostly confident with myself. I have brought up their bullying to my parents a couple of times, but after discipline from my parents they keep doing it. They are clearly homophobic, and I know they will tease and pick on me even more if I come out to them.

DEAR ABBY: Over the last year and a half, I’ve been in a relationship with someone I have known for a lifetime. He’s married but working on getting a divorce. He has promised we will do things together once everything is settled. There have been several recent deaths in his family, including a grandchild who was killed by a drunk driver.Until a week ago we talked daily, when he told me he needed some time to think and get everything straight. I offered to return the things of his that I have. He said not to, and repeated that he just needed some time. His family has leaned on him for years. I’m sure he is overwhelmed. Should I wait and see what’s next or mend my heart and move on?

I won’t bother detailing the horrendous behaviors of our fearful leaders because that would only incur a game of whataboutism — the “comeback” game where every bad action is motivated by a previous bad action.

The CIA President Harry Truman founded the National Intelligence Authority in 1946 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. From the beginning, its role was coordinating government intelligence efforts at home and abroad, which rankled the FBI in a serious turf war that hasn’t served either agency well. Does an “American Gestapo” ring a bell (how the FBI referred

An earlier city transportation plan designated a downtown truck bypass along Connecticut and Meade. In 2013, the City’s Traffic Committee recommended, and council approved, removal of the stop signs at the intersection of north-bound Meade and westbound Connecticut. The 2021 Transportation System Plan labelled this route a ‘collector’ for drivers moving between Hwy. 240 (Virginia) and Hwy. 101, proposed by staff because north-bound traffic was backed up on Virginia at Sherman and Sheridan. It wasn’t until summer 2021 that Oregon Department of Transportation was asked to investigate, and engineers replaced broken traffic signal modems. Now the two lights turn green in sequence, and drivers head north without delay. But the ‘collector’ route persists, with negative impacts.

Why go postal? At the time, the post office was considered the safest source for delivering valuables. And there was an added benefit. Tampering with the mail is a federal offense, meaning had it been stolen en route the FBI would have been tasked with finding it. No private security firm could match J. Edgar Hoover’s G-men.

As a new school year begins, Oregon students will no longer be required to demonstrate skills in reading, writing and math. For five years until 2026, an Oregon high school diploma will no longer guarantee academic achievement, but only participation in a system with undefined parameters. The legislators, school districts and the governor supporting Senate Bill 744 saw that this “will benefit Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

ABOUT THE WRITER

That statement of brotherhood still makes sense to me.

It eventually settled in the hands of preeminent Washington socialite Evelyn Walsh McLean, who let her friends Warren G. and Florence Harding try it on. Harding later unexpectedly died in a San Francisco hotel room in 1923.The diamond came to be considered cursed. Though research later cast serious doubt about the validity of the many awful endings associated with it, the lurid stories only added to its mystique. Its ill-fated reputation stillHarrylingers.Winston purchased the fabled stone in 1949 (at which time it seems people around it suddenly stopped dropping dead). It’s not known what the purchase price was, but you can bet it didn’t come cheap.

A merchant once pondered that very question. But it wasn’t just any jeweler shipping any precious stone to any old group. It involved America’s foremost jeweler at the time, the most famous gem in the world, and America’s most celebrated museum.Andhow he wound up send ing it will amaze you.

It also flew the U-2 spy plane to accurately assess Russian military strength. Those glory days feel long gone.

The state has adopted the position held by many 19th century abolitionists. When I read The Life and Times of Fredrick Douglass, one passage always stayed with me. After speaking to an abolitionist audience, Douglass considered the evening a great success, because he concluded his talk believing these people were convinced, he was equally human with them. He mentioned this as a significant event, because many strong supporters of black freedom questioned whether these people were fully human. If educators would treat minorities as individuals, they would design programs allowing opportunities for achievement commensurate with those they have presumed for whites.

North Bend Council should replace the stop signs at Meade and Connecticut. It would help Mid-Columbia drivers stay on twice-daily schedules. It would prevent accidents. Old street pavement would last longer. The route north through downtown really is shorter, safer, and a much smoother ride.

Here are just a few areas that incurred significant damage in our political uncivil war:

“Fake news” has become common vernacular. The majority of Americans do not believe the reported news, and this is perhaps the costliest of all the collateral damage and maybe the most difficult to fix.

Harry Winston was the American Dream come true. Son of struggling Jewish immi grants from Russia, at age 12 something caught his eye in a neighborhood pawnshop. The boy recognized it as a two-carat emerald and plopped down a quarter to pay for it. Two days later he sold it for $800 (nearly $25,000 today).

In 1949, Harry cemented his reputation by getting hold of the Big Kahuna, the most legendary jewel of them all: The Hope Diamond.

Six accidents at Meade/ Virginia; eight at Connecticut/ McPherson near the post office. Drivers crossing Connecticut must look downhill both ways with a half-block sight distance. Virginia’s rush-hour backup at Meade is dangerous – high traffic volume, pedestrians, a half-block sight distance of oncoming traffic moving quickly, vehicles re-entering from Dutch Brothers. A longtime councilor observed over an afternoon that bypass traffic was largely heading north over the McCullough Bridge.

I grew up hearing Walter Cronkite’s nightly signoff, “And that’s the way it is.” Today’s riff might very well be, “And that’s the way it isn’t.”

The Hope Diamond arrived safely and went on display, where it still delights thousands of Smithsonian visitors yearly. Presumably without bringing bad luck home with them, too.

Harry H. Winston Jewels Inc. opened in New York in 1932, becoming simply Harry Win ston Inc. in 1936. It remains the gold standard for purveyors of precious stones.

You mail it, of course.

Today, as measured by a Gallup poll, the FBI’s approval rating has gone down, from 57 percent in 2019 to 44 percent in 2021.

It’s a game of moral revenge that serves no one, and certainly not us, the citizens.

Owning the crown jewel of all jewels was a major feather in Harry’s cap. He proudly toured it around the United States for nine years (promoting Harry Winston Inc. at the same time).

a half-block to the stop sign at Meade/Connecticut, and wait. They watch north-bound traffic on Virginia and west-bound traffic on Connecticut for an opening long enough to pull the bus forward because those other drivers don’t stop at the intersection. Some drivers are confused by the ‘free right turn’ sign until a bus driver waves them on. It’s a delay on the timed route for each and every bus driver, twice a day.

I remember Dr. Martin Luther King saying, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character….. little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”

“These Gold Vault Bricks make the most impressive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and any other occasion, especially for that hard-to-buy-for person,” Lynne said.

Answering Your Questions

“If you live in the state of Oregon you need to find your zip code listed in today’s newspaper announcement and call immediately,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency for National Mint and Treasury.That’sbecause Oregon residents can really cash in for the next 48 hours. Here’s why. Non-state residents and those who miss the 48-hour deadline must pay $8 per coin, but Oregon residents who take the Vault Bricks cover just the $4 per coin state minimum. That means Oregon residents get all 125 coins with rare 24 Karat Gold Layering for just $500 which is a real steal since non-state residents must pay over $1,000 for each Vault Brick. And it gets even better for those claiming the Jumbo Gold Vault Bricks.

”We already know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of agents are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 48 hours to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Lynne said.

A: Because they are the only Oregon State Bank Rolls known to exist we’re bracing for the flood of calls. These are not ordinary Bank Rolls. These are full Bank Rolls containing 25 Buffalos dating clear back to the early 1900’s. Best of all each Buffalo is layered in 24 Karat Gold and the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to Oregon residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication and beat the deadline only. That means Oregon residents cover only $4 per Buffalo when they claim the Gold Vault Bricks, which is just $500 for the next 2 days.

According to Ms. Lynne, since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, today and tomorrow are intended as a “special 48 hour release” for the benefit of Oregon residents. This gives them a fair chance to claim the Sealed Gold Vault Bricks and all the valuable gold loaded inside for themselves.

“So my advice is this, anyone who gets an opportunity to get their hands on one of these Gold Vault Bricks full of coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago with rare 24 Karat Gold layering from the National Mint and Treasury better jump at the chance while they still can,” Lynne said.

Contents inside sealed Vault Bricks reveal old U.S. coins with rare 24 Karat Gold Layering issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are actually being handed over to Oregon residents who find their zip code below; but only those who beat the 48 hour deadline are getting them at just state minimum SPONSORED ADVERTISING CONTENT OR zip codes turn up gold for residents 97411 97420 97423 97439 97444 97449 97450 97458 97459 97465 97466 97467 OREGON RESIDENTS: IF YOU FIND YOUR ZIP CODE BELOW CALL: 1-800-997-8036 EXT: BNA1475 ■ FLYING OUT THE DOOR: Lucky Oregon residents are hoping to find their zip code listed in today’s publication, but not everybody will. That’s why those who do need to immediately call the State Distribution Hotlines. Everyone who does is authorized to claim sealed Vault Bricks loaded with the only Oregon State Gold Bank Rolls known to exist for the lowest ever $4 per coin minimum set for Oregon residents - non-state residents and those who miss the 48 hour deadline must pay $8 per coin, if any remain. ■ FIRST LOOK INSIDE GOLD VAULT BRICKS: Shown above is a sneak peak inside the Gold Vault Bricks. The Gold Vault Bricks are loaded with Oregon State Gold Bank Rolls containing U.S. Buffalos each layered in 24 Karat Gold. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 am this morning. That’s because Oregon residents can really cash in for the next 48 hours. Here’s why. Non-state residents and those who miss the 48-hour deadline must pay $8 per coin, but Oregon residents who take the Gold Vault Bricks pictured above cover just the $4 per coin state minimum. That means Oregon residents get all 125 coins with rare 24 Karat Gold Layering for just $500 which is a real steal since non-state residents must pay over $1,000 for each Gold Vault Brick. And it gets even better for those claiming the Jumbo Gold Vault Bricks. ■ VALUABLE: RARE 24 KARAT GOLD LAYERING ■ SEEN:RARELYISSUED BY THE U.S. GOV’T NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO

Q: How much are the Gold Vault Bricks worth?

This is all happening because thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold. Now any resident who finds their zip code listed in today’s publication and calls to verify it gets to claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable gold found inside.

A: The only thing Oregon residents need to do is find their zip code in today’s publication and call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 1-800-997-8036 Ext. BNA1475 before the deadline ends. Everyone who does is getting the Bank Rolls for just the state minimum. That’s a sealed Gold Vault Brick containing the only Oregon State Bank Rolls known to exist each loaded with the rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Buffalo Nickels layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold for just the $4per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, which totals just $500for the full sealed Gold Vault Brick. That’s a real steal because state residents and non-state residents who miss the deadline must pay $1,000 for each sealed Gold Vault Brick if any remain.

“That’s why National Mint and Treasury set up the State Distribution Hotlines in order to make sure residents of Oregon can get them now,” Lynne said.

A: It’s impossible to say, but these Buffalos date clear back to the early 1900’s and are not ordinary U.S. coins. That’s because only an extremely low percentage of Buffalos were then commissioned by National Mint and Treasury to be covered with rarely seen 24 Karat Gold Layering, then sealed and protected in brilliant collector condition inside special 25 count Oregon Bank Rolls. That’s why you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Oregon State Bank Rolls known to exist. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these sealed Vault Bricks should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

The World TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2022 | A9 R1093GR-3

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they live in one of the zip codes listed and call the State Distribution Hotlines before the special 48 hour deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

But, Ms. Lynne added, “The Sealed Gold Vault Bricks are only available as inventory permits during the special 48 hour release so please do not miss the deadline.” The director added, “We have no power to stop coin dealers, resellers or collectors buying up all the Gold Vault Bricks they can get their hands on,” Lynne said.

Q: Why are so many Oregon residents calling to get them?

Q: How do I get the Gold Vault Bricks?

And here’s the best part. Oregon residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication are getting Sealed Vault Bricks containing the only Oregon State Gold Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design and each loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Buffalo Nickels layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold by National Mint and“AsTreasury.Director of Coin and Currency for National Mint and Treasury, one of my jobs is to deliver breaking news. And today’s announcement confirming the release of Sealed Gold Vault Bricks to residents of the state of Oregon is as big as it gets,” Lynne said.

STAFF REPORT

The monkeypox outbreak is the first communicable disease outbreak for which OHA is publicly reporting sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI) data, and data from expanded race and ethnicity categories found in REALD, or race and ethnicity, language or disability. The data will be reported each month on OHA’s monkeypox (hMPXV) website.

The Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 3159 in 2021, charging OHA with

drafting and adding SOGI questions to the current data collection standards in OHA Oregon Administrative Rules, building a data collection system for both REALD and SOGI and developing and implementing reporting requirements. The SOGI Data Collection Committee draft data collection standards have been implemented in Oregon’s public health communicable disease data collection system known as Orpheus.

The OHA said publication of the data, in consultation with OHA’s Equity and Inclusion Division (OEI), will help the agency better understand the diversity of the people living in Oregon, which will help it identify and address health disparities and support data justice in communities most affected

Every item sold at Dream Again will help the Devereaux Center in its mission to help the homeless get off the streets. So it makes sense, the new building will play a role

Johnson said while the vocational training will be open to the community, her dream is to help those in transitional housing, such as at Coalbank Village, get skills they can use to get

jobs and get back on their own.“We want to provide the scaffolding to help people read and write, help them get their resumes,” she said. “We can help them prepare for interviews.”

OHA and local public health partners have been collecting SOGI information from people

“It’s amazing,” she said. “We get the eclectic things. A couple of days ago we got some Mary Kay dishes. They are highly collectable. We have some highend shoes and we have

While the thrift store has opened quietly, Johnson said people have been very supportive so far. An official grand opening is scheduled for Oct. 21 and 22, but the store is open and serving customers today.

“A critical component to meeting this goal is ensuring meaningful access to services for everyone in Oregon, regardless of their race, ethnicity, language, disability, or sexual orientation and gender identity. The REALD and SOGI data will help guide OHA and its partners in an equitable response to the monkeypox outbreak.”

The monkeypox outbreak is the first communicable disease outbreak for which OHA is publicly reporting sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI) data.

While the narrative of monkeypox in the United States has centered on cisgender gay men as the population most affected by the virus, this narrative does not reflect the full spectrum of people who have been affected by monkeypox, according to the OHA.

Johnson said the community has stepped up so far.

“Starting next week, on Wednesday, Sept. 14, we will shift from producing a daily COVID-19 Data Update to reporting cases weekly. We will continue to publish a summary table with downloadable data, including county-level confirmed and presumptive case counts, Report,tionCode,COVID-19dashboards,“Mostillnesses,”visitsemergencytestscounty-levelCOVID-19-relatedcounty-leveldeaths,COVID-19andstate-leveldepartmentforCOVID-19-likeAllensaid.otherCOVID-19includingtheCasesbyZipCOVID-19vaccina-dashboards,PediatricCaseDemographics

and Disease Severity will be updated monthly on the second Wednesday of the month.”

“OHA has established a strategic goal to achieve health equity by 2030,” OHA State Epidemiologist Dean Sidelinger said.
