DAMON RUNBERG News Guard Guest Article Oregon businesses are on the verge of fully recovering all jobs lost from the COVID-19 pandemic recession.AsofJune 2022, total nonfarm employment levels were only0.9% below the previous peak. When looking over the recovery by industry we see a fairly large disparity. For some indus tries, employment is now far higher than pre-pandemic levels, such as construc tion; transportation, warehousing, and utilities; real estate, rental, and leasing; and professional and technical services. Meanwhile other industries remain below their previous peak, such as edu cational services; leisure and hospitality; other services; and local government. These disparate trends are not surprising. The pandemic recession was not an equal opportunity offender. The largest job losses were concentrated in restaurants, hotels, tourism facilities, personal care services, and education. Employment in accommodation and food services, the sector that includes hotels and restaurants, remains roughly 6% below the previous peak. The industry is sitting with 6,200 fewer jobs than before the pandemic, yet there were nearly 10,800 new unique job ads be tween April and June as these employers try to ramp back up. Frustratingly slow Clearly the demand exists to lead the state’s accommodation and food services into a full recovery, but that recovery has been frustratingly slow for many employers with 77% of Oregon vacancies identified as difficult to fill this past spring. The most common re sponse when businesses were asked why their vacancies were difficult to fill? A lack of applicants. If these restaurants and hotels remain far from recovered and yet the demand for workers is high, it begs the question: where did all the restaurant and hotel workers who were working in the industry before the pandemic go? To answer this question, we tracked the cohort of pre-COVID accommoda tion and food services workers (em ployed in the industry in first quarter 2020) through the end of 2021 using wage records and unemployment insur ance (UI) claims. If an Oregon business reported payroll earnings for a worker or a worker was on an Oregon UI claim, this worker showed up in our data. Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about those workers who dropped out of the labor force (retired, back to school, etc.) or moved outside the state. Of the 181,700 workers who had a primary job in accommodation and food services before the pandemic in early 2020, roughly 45% were still employed
Personal accomplishments Palmer said the new state-of-theart police facility is one key accom plishment under his watch following direction from former chief Killian. “So, we have a brand new 9-1-1 center, and a brand-new police build ing that is fulfilling our needs better than ever,” he said. “The second most important goal that I was allowed to accomplish was a restructure of our department organization, spreading out responsibility throughout our command staff. Everybody here has stepped up and done a remarkable job. The department is being run and administered extremely well.”

For the second time in five days, Angel Moreno Islas donned his cap and gown and walked across the stage to “Pomp and Circum stance” to accept a diploma. Among the youngest students on stage, he had just graduated from Taft High School earlier that week and was now accepting his Associates of Arts degree from Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC).How was he able to achieve both degrees by age eighteen? As he puts it, a lot of time manage ment, self-motivation, and sticking to a plan. By the end of his freshman year, Moreno Islas realized he wanted to get ahead of the normal high school path and earn college credit. Math was his favorite subject, so he took a college math course and realized he could do it successfully. He met with his school counselor, Robb Ellis, to create a plan of how to earn ninety college credits by graduation.Although counselors often speak with students about earning college credit, few take advantage of the opportunity to earn as much as possible. “He really did a lot of his own research and figured things out on his own, which is pretty rare these days,” Ellis said. “He was so self-sufficient for a teenager, it was unbelievable.”
In advising the person that be comes the new police chief, Palmer said, “surround yourself with the best people you can find, do everything you can to give them the tools that they need to do the job, and be very transparent about your expectations. When you’ve done that, get out of their way and let them go do their job. That’s worked for me throughout my career.”Palmer credits said the success of th3e LCDP is with the men and women working for the aganey. “The men and women of the 9-11 center and this police department go out and interact with our community every day and they leave a great im pression,” he said. “Our community respects that and respects them and that’s why we have the support we have, because of the day-to-day work of these individuals that are dealing with the public.”
The Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) has issued a decision in response to the VIA Coalition challenge to Ballot Measure 21-203. The measure proposed to ban vacation rentals in unincorporated Lincoln County over the next five years. LUBA has invalidated the measure in its entirety on the basis that the measure is in violation of state law that governs counties. See the decision with this story at thenewsguard.com.Theimpactofthe decision overturning 21-203 means, short-term rentals are currently governed by Lincoln County’s Ordinance #523 which is still being litigated in circuit court, according to a statement from the VIA Coalition. The coalition also issued the following response to the LUBA decision. “LUBA’s decision is a win for all Oregonians, who want Oregon’s beaches to remain accessible for all Oregon families, not just those with the means to own a second home. VIA Oregon is a grassroots coalition of owners and residents who are committed to protecting the tradition of families staying in private homes when they visit the Oregon Coast. Vacation rentals provide valuable jobs to local residents and infuse $3 million per year in lodging taxes into the County’s budget. Lincoln County knew that this measure was likely to be illegal but was put in the unenviable position of defending a bad idea that became law by ballotVIAmeasure.Oregon hopes that this decision will lead to common-sense regulation. We hope the decision will clear the way for the County to accept our help instead of continuing to waste taxpayer money on the bad idea of banning vacation rentals. Because vacation rentals will be allowed to continue, the County should be able to fund services vital to tourism from the lodging taxes we contribute, such as additional Sheriff Deputies and building affordable workforce housing. This decision benefits the community by rejecting the ballot measure’s misguided plan to require million-dollar homes to sit empty. Beach homes are a limited resource and sharing them benefits the publicLincolninterest.”County and the intervenors, Monica Kirk and Michelle Riley from 15 Neighborhoods have 21 days to file an appeal.The News Guard reached out to Lincoln County officials for a response to the LUBA decision and received the following statement from Lincoln County Assistant Counsel Jerry Herbage. “The county is still analyzing the decision and we are evaluating our next steps,” Herbage said.

A sweeping climate change and health care package has been approved by the U.S. Senate and heads to the U.S. House of Representatives.The$740billion Inflation Reduction Act is designed to lower prescription drug prices, tackle climate change, reduce the federal deficit and hike taxes on corporations.OregonU.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said the historic legislation would cut carbon emissions and also adds federal funds to the fight against wildfires and drought. Wyden said that the linchpin of the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy package is his Clean Energy for America Act, first in troduced in 2015, which reforms the energy tax code to incentivize emissions reductions rather than specific technologies. The Clean Energy for Amer ica Act would reduce carbon emissions in the power sector by about 70 percent over the next decade, and is the main driver of the overall 40 percent reduction in emissions achieved by the Inflation Reduction Act. “This historic clean energy package has been a decade in the making. When clean energy legislation failed in 2010, we regrouped to ensure success the next time Democrats had an opportunity,” Wyden said. “We turned to seniorsitpricelimitincludesmarketcompetitionexpensiveprices,Medicarethatpreparingtives,technology-neutralemissions-based,taxincenandspentnearlyadecadethisbill.”Onhealthcare,Wydennotedthebillwouldfinallyallowtonegotiatelowerdrugparticularlyforthemostdrugsthathavenoafterbeingontheforyears.ThebillalsoaninflationrebatethatBigPharma’sabilitytogougeyearafteryear,andcreatesstrongprotectionsforincludinga$2,000per year out-of-pocket cap. “For too long, Medicare has been forced to contend with Big Pharma with one hand tied behind its back – that ends when this bill is signed into law,” Wyden said. “Ever since I became the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, I have been spotlighting how the drug pricing system is broken top to bottom. At last, the Senate has begun to redefine the relationship between Medicare and Big Pharma. Wyden said Medicare nego tiation is the centerpiece of the Inflation Reduction Act’s drug pricing“Noreforms.longerwill drug compa nies be able to string Medicare along for years or even decades while taxpayers’ foot the bill,” he said. “This policy targets the most expensive, most used drugs that have had zero competition for years on end. It lowers prices in a way that is fair and designed to promote innovation, not stifle it.” Wydn said those negotiations will begin next year. “The legislation creates a limit on Big Pharma’s ability to price gouge with the Medi care inflation rebate, requiring drug companies to pay a fee to Medicare if they raise their prices faster than inflation,” Wyden said. “Critically, the bill will protect seniors from high out-of-pocket costs in less than a year and a half with a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap on drug costs, which will spare more than a million seniors from financial peril.” Taken together, Wyden said, these policies represent a seismic shift in how Medicare pays for medicine, and it does so in a way that will greatly lower costs for seniors and taxpayers.TheInflation Reduction Act also provides the fol lowing for Oregon and the

With the support of SOLVE, community lead ers and partner organizations host restoration events, urban litter cleanup projects, and beach cleanups. Each volunteer project is aimed at caring for one of Oregon’s most precious resources, our water, from source to sea. Thanks to the efforts of over 3,000 dedicated volunteers who participated in last year’s Beach & Riverside Cleanup, over 60,385 pounds of trash and marine debris were removed, and 32,717 square feet of invasive plants were Removingcleared.invasive plant species, nurtur ing native plants, and collecting litter are all easy ways volunteers can positively impact Oregon’s water quality. Each piece of litter collected removes the possibility of it entering a nearby river, water way, or storm drain, where it can eventually make its way to the sea and contribute to our global marine debris crisis. Invasive plant spe cies crowd out native plants and typically have shallow roots, leading to increased erosion and poor water filtration. “Since 1969, SOLVE has been mobilizing volunteers to restore and preserve Oregon’s natural spaces,” Oregon Lottery Director, Barry Pack said. “The Oregon Lottery is proud to continue supporting SOLVE’s Beach & Riverside Cleanup. Now more than ever, it’s important for Oregonians to come together for a common cause. SOLVE’s Beach & Riverside Cleanup provides the perfect opportunity.” Interested community members are en couraged to visit solveoregon.org to see a list of volunteer projects and sign up.

The Oregon Housing and Community Services closed the Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program Aug. 12. The portal remains closed to new applicants. Tenants with current incomplete applications or in need of recertification are encouraged to sub mit their materials right away. No new applica tions are being accepted but tenants with existing applications in the system who fully submit their completed applications by the August 12 will continue to be processed as funds remain. The state was recently notified that it would receive nearly $7 million in additional federal emergency rental assistance funding from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This funding will support families and individuals who have submitted recertification applications for addi tional OERAP “Throughoutassistance.thepandemic, OHCS and our partners have worked relentlessly to distribute critical emergency resources to create stability for vulnerable renters and cash-strapped land lords—all in service to supporting an equitable recovery,” OHCS Housing Stabilization Interim Director Jill Smith said. OHCS has paid out $390.38 million in emer gency rental assistance to 60,829 households. The temporary emergency funding helped an estimated 130,000 Oregonians stay in their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. OHCS launched OERAP in May 2021, and after an initial slow start, the agency catapulted to become a state regularly ranked within the top five according to the National Low Income Hous ing Coalition (NLIHC). The agency was awarded additional funding from the U.S. Treasury and Oregon Legislature based on the demonstrated need. The agency and its partners have distributed more than half a billion in rental assistance from state and federal funding since January 2021. Oregon has provided the highest percentage of assistance out of all the states, according to the NLIHC, ranking Oregon first in the nation in the percentage of emergency rental assistance funds paid out and obligated. “As one of a handful of top-performing states, our program attributes our ability to scale the pro gram quickly to our strong partnerships. Yet the demonstratable need remains,” Smith said. “We always knew that even with record levels of assis tance, the need in Oregon continues to far exceed the available funding. I’m grateful to the Oregon Legislature for taking the forward-thinking step of funding additional eviction supports for strug gling Oregonians. We know the need continues.” As OERAP closes, eviction prevention will remain a top priority. OHCS created the Oregon Eviction Diversion and Prevention (ORE-DAP) Program with part of the $100 million in eviction prevention funding the agency received from the Oregon Legislature in December 2021. The new program aims to quickly assist Oregonians facing evictions by delivering rental assistance and other critical eviction and housingrelated resources such as case management, mediation, and legal services. This program is be ing administered statewide by community action agencies in partnership with culturally responsive organizations. To access ORE-DAP resources, tenants may contact their community action agen cies or call 2-1-1 to be connected to resources in their area.

To put it another way, over half the workers churned out of the industry after nearly two years. Churn or turnover is very common in this industry as it is highly seasonal, em ploys large numbers of young work ers, and tends to offer lower-paying jobs on average. To get an idea about how normal the turnover was for this COVID-19 impacted cohort of restaurant and hotel workers, we looked back at a cohort of workers from early 2018 and tracked their employment patterns over the same amount of time. The churn was high for this 2018 cohort of restaurant and hotel workers by the end of 2019, with only 52% of the workforce still primarily employed in a restaurant or hotel. Retention of these workers in the COVID-19 cohort was around 7 percentage points lower than our comparison cohort from 2018. The first place to look for work ers who left the industry is to check if they are still employed in Oregon, but in a different industry. Around 26% of the COVID-19 cohort of restaurant and hotel workers had moved their primary job to a differ ent industry by the end of 2021, a higher share than 24% of the cohort from 2018. There was increased job hopping into different industries during the pandemic. Where did the workers go? The industries that received the most restaurant and hotel work ers by the end of 2021 were retail trade (6.5% of the original cohort); professional and business services (+3.9%); health care and social assistance (+3.9%); and manufactur ing (+2.3%). There are not a lot of patterns to draw from this industry changing. Industry hopping tended to be towards industries less im pacted by pandemic closures, higher paying industries, and less seasonal industries.Those who left restaurant and hotel jobs to different industries during the pandemic only account for about one-third of the increased churn out of the industry compared with a more normal period of time. The other large difference in churn in this period is movement to an un employment insurance claim. In the fourth quarter of 2021, 7% of the COVID-19 cohort of restaurant and hotel workers claimed at least one week of unemployment insurance. This was a considerable increase over the 2% of the 2018 restaurant and hotel workforce on UI. The higher share of restaurant and hotel workers on an unemployment insur ance claim in fourth quarter 2021 explains roughly two-thirds of the drop in retention compared with the 2018Therecohort.are a couple of reasons why a higher share of COVID-19 impacted restaurant and hotel work ers were claiming unemployment insurance nearly two years later. This COVID-19 cohort experienced mass layoffs in the spring of 2020. In late 2021, hiring demand waned modestly for restaurants and hotels due to the surging Delta variant. Despite the massive layoff shock at the onset of the pandemic, it is still surprising to see 7% of the work force claiming unemployment at a time when labor demand was high for these Theseworkers.countsdon’t tell us the length of UI claims, only that at least one week was claimed in fourth quarter 2021. It is possible that increased business failures, changes in ownership, and other reorganizations could affect the share of the workforce claiming UI in the stretch between jobs after a layoff that occurred much later than the initial COVID-19 mass layoff events. Some of these claimants could have worked for a restaurant or hotel that closed or changed ownership in summer or fall 2021, and their claim would show up here. We don’t yet have complete data on business dynamics through 2021, but it has certainly been a tough time to be in the restaurant and hotel business, characterized by labor shortages, unsteady supply chains, and rapidly increasing business costs.One thing we known for certain By fourth quarter 2021, the ex pansion of unemployment insurance through the CARES act and other federal legislation had expired. Workers who claimed unemploy ment in fourth quarter 2021 were no longer receiving the more generous weekly UI Aroundbenefits.78%of the pre-pandem ic accommodation and food services workers have been accounted for by the end of 2021. There were those who remained employed in the industry (45%); those who are now employed in a different industry (26%); and those who had an unem ployment insurance claim (7%). The remaining 22% are no longer work ing a payroll job or claiming unem ployment insurance in Oregon. They may be self-employed, working for a business outside of Oregon, retired, unemployed without UI, in school, or out of the labor force for other reasons. This may seem like a high share of workers who are unaccounted for, but the share is nearly identical to the 2018 cohort of restaurant and hotel workers who were not impacted by the pandemic. This helps put to rest the theory that there was an increasing share of labor force dropouts among these restaurant and hotel workers during the pandemic.Whyhasit been difficult for res taurants and hotels to find workers? Much of the workforce left the industry. A higher share of workers moved to different industries com pared with a more normal period during non-pandemic times. We also saw a higher share of these workers claiming unemployment insurance even after labor demand rebounded. Unemployed workers represent an opportunity for the many businesses trying to hire. Looking for work is a prerequisite for gaining unemploy ment insurance, which means those folks on UI were active job seekers. In fact, where we are today many of those workers have likely landed back in the workforce. The number of workers on a UI claim in Oregon dropped 31% from the end of 2021 to JuneThis2022.was an analysis of the existing workforce employed by a restaurant or hotel just before the pandemic. However, another potential contributing factor of the labor shortage faced by these busi nesses is the incoming workforce. With a high demand for labor across many industries it is also possible that many workers enter ing the workforce (largely young people) who would typically find a job in a restaurant or hotel are finding work in different industries with more consistent hours and less seasonality.

There is no such thing as a “non-essential” small business – orFinally,job. there is a Political Action Committee (PAC) dedi cated solely to protecting small businesses – Defend Small Business PAC. The Defend Small Busi ness PAC is a collaborative effort between Oregon’s local chambers of commerce to protect and support our small businesses, their employees, and our communities. It is about changing the po litical culture in Oregon – and replacing the legislature with people who will actually stand up for our small businesses. Oregon State Chamber of Commerce started this effort because in the past two years, we found out that Oregon politicians and state agencies viewed our small businesses as “non-essential.”Asaresult,large multina tional corporations stayed open and made record profits. Small businesses were shut down. Small business employees were called “non-essential” and sent to a broken unemployment agency.Inthe meantime, most of our lawmakers and politicians either supported the shutdowns or lacked the courage to do anything about it. And if that wasn’t enough, the legislature then tried to push through a tax on our federal Paycheck Protection loans. That’s right – after all the indig nities suffered at the hands of Oregon politicians – they then wanted to tax your PPP loans. Our message is simply this …. “Never again.” Acting alone, it is difficult for a single small business to make a political impact. But together, our collective voice can be powerful. An easy – and free – way to contribute to the Defend Small Business PAC is to use your Oregon Political Tax Credit. Through our tax system, the State of Oregon gives each taxpaying Oregonian a $50 gift. But you can’t keep it. You have to make a choice, either pay it in state taxes -- or donate it to a qualified PAC. We hope you choose to give it to the Defend Small Business PAC. Each year, thousands of Oregonians contribute their $50 per person, $100 per couple Or egon Political Tax Credit to the PAC of their choice. The Politi cal Tax Credit is a wonderful benefit as it literally allows you to give critical support to De fend Small Business PAC while costing you nothing!

Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to work at all of Country Media’s publications in Oregon, includ ing twice at The News Guard, as executive editor. All of the positions have been in news management.Evenwith my departure from The News Guard a few years ago, I continued to assist in news content management and story coverage as other editors and reporters joined our team. Together, we continued our publication’s forward mo mentum. I left The News Guard after the company owners, Steve and Carol Hungerford, asked me to take on a new management role as publisher at our Columbia County pub lications, The Chronicle, The Chief and the News Advertiser, based in St. Helens. I was excited to accept the offer and for the opportunity to utilize and expand my manage ment skills. As it turned out, just six months into my new role in Columbia County our company purchased The World in Coos Bay, The Curry County Pilot in Brookings and the Del Norte Triplicate in Crescent City. I was asked to go to Brookings to assist County Media in overseeing news con tent, delivery and presentation of the Pilot and the Triplicate. I agreed to so, still overseeing our operations in Columbia County.Within months, our profes sional teams were in place moving the southern Oregon and Northern California publi cations forward, allowing me to return to Columbia County to continue strengthening the three publications and our Oregon news websites. Earlier this summer, I was promoted by County Media as Regional Executive Editor, with the responsibility of over seeing regional news content, web site news coverage, and training/mentoring reporters and editors for selected County Media publications in north west Oregon, which includes The News Guard. I have relocated to Lincoln City as a positive approach to continue our mission of providing local news to our communities.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $19,862.09 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $138,189.87 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 11/1/2020, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due (if applicable) for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/ or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off.

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale.

DAVID RUPKALVIS Country Media As monkeypox cases continue to climb in Oregon, the state is working to control the outbreak before it becomes a statewide pandemic.Dr.Dean Sidelinger, the state health official, said the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is working to spread information and a limited number of vaccines to help slow the spread of the virus, which has so far mostly impacted gay and bisexual men. As of Thursday, Aug. 11, no cases had been reported in Lincoln County, but the OHA has confirmed 95 cases across the state in seven other counties, 92 among men. The three women infected are among the most recent cases confirmed in the state.Sidelinger said while another pandemic on the heels of COVID-19 is disturbing, monkeypox is a vastly different kind of virus.“It might seem like too much to now have another outbreak of another infectious disease as we continue t recover from CO VID 19,” Sidelinger said. “The good news is although monkeypox is a severe public health concern, it is not another COVID-19. It does not spread the same was as COVID 19. Fortunately, there have been no deaths in Oregon and the United States. We are not recommending vaccinations for the general population.”Whilethe virus has spread mostly in the LGBTQ community, Sidelinger empha sized anyone can catch it if they come into close contact with someone who has been infected.“Right now, in Oregon and other states, most cases of monkeypox have been diag nosed in gay and bisexual men,” he said. “While this disease does not spread just among men and one’s sexual orientation does not make one more susceptible to the virus, the virus is spreading more among those groups.” New outreach Sidelinger said in response to the grow ing cases and growing concerns, OHA will launch a new website dealing specifically with the virus. The page will share informa tion on testing, vaccines and treatments and offer answers to many questions people mayInhave.addition, he said the state recently announced those getting tested or vacci nated for the virus can now do so with no out-of-pocket expense. The cases in Oregon are spread across seven counties and are among the 9,500 cases in the United States and 31,800 cases worldwide.“Anyone can be diagnosed with monkeypox, and this not a gay disease,” SidelingerAlmostsaid.allcases of monkeypox are diagnosed after a person comes into close skin-to-skin contact with someone who has it. It can be passed by contacting clothing, sheets, towels or other items used by an infected person, but those cases are rare.
“Monkeypox may start with a fever, achiness or sore throat, but it may also start with a rash or sores,” Sidelinger said. “If you have symptoms you believe to be mon keypox, contact your health provider.” The vaccine for monkeypox is effec tive and has a long record of success. But supplies are very limited. Since the first case was diagnosed in June, Oregon has received 6,803 doses, and fewer than 50 are available at OHA today. Individual county health departments across the state do have some vaccines, but they are being given to only the most at-risk people. Sidelinger said the state is concentrat ing on getting first doses to those at rick, with second doses often waiting fur up to three months. Only the most at-risk or pediatric cases, which there have been none so far in Oregon, will get the second dose at four weeks as recommended. “Anyone can be infected by monkey pox,” Sidelinger said. “Plan ahead if you’re attending events where there may be close, skin to skin contact”

Oregon’s Monkeypox outbreak COVID-19 pandemic easing in Oregon
While Palmer said he faced no serious frustrations in conducting operations as LCPD Chief, he voiced concern that staffing levels at Oregon State Police have been allowed to deteriorate, and that the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office continues to struggle to maintain adequate staff. Palmer said that impacts his staff and the community. “The trickle-down effect of not having enough troopers and not enough deputies on the road affects our ability to adequately perform our services here because we have to find ways to pick up that slack,” he said. “That is frustrating to watch.” Summing up his reward for his time in law enforcement, Palmer give The News Guard the following statement. “I truly believe that despite some media and some lines of blame for the ills of society that are being made towards police across the nation, that has not been my experience with the teams that I have worked for in our state and our local communities,” he said. “These men and women go out every single day and do everything they can to make the right decisions, do the right thing, do their investigations to the best of their abilities, and try to be the best public servant they can possibly be. My greatest satisfaction is being blessed to work shoulder-toshoulder with these people. I couldn’t be prouder of the men and women of Lincoln City PD. They are knocking it out of the park every single day.” My thanks to our community,” he said. “It’s been a very remarkable and fun career. I can’t imagine an opportunity I’ve had here that could have gone any better.”
Fear and confusion Katie Cox, the executive director of the Equity Institute, which reaches out to the gay and lesbian community in Portland said there is a lot of fear and confusion in the LGBTQ community. “I’m hearing many of my community express confusion about hPMX4,” she said. “Several people I spoke to didn’t even know there was a vaccine available. Lack of urgency from the federal government has been concerning. Would that response look any different if it wasn’t based in a marginal community?” Like Sidelinger, Cox emphasized the virus is not a gay disease, and she feels the focus should be on behavior rather than orientation.“Weneed to focus on risky behavior and not identity,” Cox said. “Anyone who has skin can get this disease. At this point it’s not an if, but a when if will start im pacting other communities. Gay, bisexual and queer men are not the only people engaging in skin-to-skin contact.”Coxurged the state and federal governments to support groups like hers that can reach the most at-risk “Information,people.health and risk access and vaccine availability is not widely known,” she said. “That is why it’s vital that com munity health organizations that are more nimble and tied into their communities get immediate support.”

Moreno Islas looked ahead to what he would have to take in college – general educa tion courses like math and writ ing that he could easily knock out in high school. He had to learn to balance school, work, and his social life, but was able to navigate only suffering a little loss of sleep. “I would stay up most nights writing a paper or study ing,” he said. “It was hard, but I just went for it. I saved my parents a lot of money, as well as time.”Now that he’s the proud holder of two degrees, Moreno Islas hopes to do the same again. He will attend the Uni versity of Oregon, earning a bachelor’s and master’s degree in accounting simultaneously. He credits his family for teaching him to be self-moti vated.“They would tell me, ‘You can do anything if you put your mind to it,’” he said. As far as other students fol lowing in his footsteps, Moreno Islas recommends this path to anyone who is motivated and knows what they want to do. “The most important thing is to ask around,” he advises. “It’s not going to just come to you.
