COVID test positivity rate increases in Pacific County

Last week, Pacific County recorded 33 more cases of COVID-19. This brings the total of cases since the beginning of the pandemic to 649. The Pacific County Health Department is monitoring 31 cases.

Pacific County cases per 100k per 14 days is up to 240.3 and the test positivity rate is 27.7% which is a big jump.

The PCDOH is still strongly encouraging the public to limit non-essential travel, maintain social distancing, wear face coverings in public, frequently wash your hands, and avoid touching your face.

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com In accordance with Gov. Jay Inslee's Healthy Washington – Roadmap to Recovery, the WIAA revamped Season 1 while moving traditional fall sports to Season 1 and will review Seasons 2 and 3. Willapa Harbor high schools hope to participate in the sports of football, volleyball, cross country, girls soccer and boys soccer.

counties, which have many more COVID-19 confirmed cases than Pacific County. At press time, the WIAA was scheduled to review Seasons 2 and 3 at yesterday's board meeting.

The governor's Regional Approach plan went into effect last Monday (Jan. 11) and it has eight regions, including West, Southwest (Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat, Skamania, Wahkiakum), Northwest (Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason), North (Island, San Juan, Skagit, Whatcom), Puget Sound (King, Pierce, Snohomish), South Central (Benton, Columbia, Franklin, Kittitas, Walla Walla, Yakima), North Central (Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Okanogan), and East

(Adams, Asotin, Ferry, Garfield, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Whitman).

These regions are largely based on the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) regions used for evaluating healthcare services and the impact COVID-19 has on the healthcare system.

Season I will have seven weeks in duration, which starts with pre-competition practices Feb. 1 and ending March 20. The local sports scheduled for that season include Pe Ell-Willapa Valley Football, Raymond-South Bend Football, Willapa Valley Volleyball, South Bend Volleyball, Raymond Volleyball. Raymond-South Bend Girls Soccer, Raymond-South Bend Boys Soc-

cer and Willapa Harbor TriDistrict Cross Country.

The governor's guidelines for outdoor sports and fitness establishments include outdoor K-12 sports, outdoor sports, outdoor fitness organizations, outdoor recreational sports, outdoor pools, outdoor parks and hiking trails, outdoor campsites,outdoor personal training, outdoor dance and outdoor motorsports.

Gov. Inslee's Phase 1 has low and moderate-risk sports permitted for practice and training only with no tournaments. The outdoor guided activities including hunting, fishing, motorsports, parks, camping, hiking, biking, running and snow sports are

Extended unemployment For Clamming to Resume Domoic acid levels need to drop benefits coming soon The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Department is working to start delivering the federal benefit starting January 15.

This extension lasts until March 13.

The ESD says that people should continue to file their weekly claims and watch their eServices page for messages. Do not call ESD with questions since their call volume remains high.

(WDFW) announced there will be no future recreational razor clam dates until domoic acid levels in razor clams drop below the action level. The WDFW will continue to test every two weeks.

As reported in December, razor clams are following the historical pattern of slowly depurating (losing) domoic acid. WDFW are also are observing the levels “bounce around” some, as they have in past events. This is a result of the individual 12 clams harvested when collecting samples. The toxin “load” can vary greatly between individual clams. The laboratory protocol requires the clams

Raymond had a Fire Engine Bond in 2003 to purchase a new fire engine, and the bond passed and was paid off in 2019. “That fire engine is a 2004 Pierce and is still in service,” Strozyk said, adding, “This fire engine is still in excellent shape and should be able to continue to serve our city for the next 10 to 15 years.”

The bond would cost a $200,000 homeowner approximately $70 per year in increased property taxes, which, according to Strozyk, would be a savings when you compare it to the rise in insurance rates that would occur if the engine was kept in service. Strozyk said, “The plan is to pay off the bond within 12 years.”

In closing Strozyk said citizens could call him if they have more questions about the City of Raymond Fire Engine Bond at the RPD (942-4144).

Fire engines are indeed expensive.

“Fire engines are complex and expensive machines,” Strozyk said. “But in comparison, our neighbors in Aberdeen just spent $600k for a new fire engine.

Cheney Foundation donates $50,000 for new turf at Millam Field clamming

BY GEORGE KUNKE SOUTH BEND – South Bend School District received another generous donation from the Cheney Foundation – this time in the amount of $50,000 for a new synthetic turf to be installed at Millam Field. The donation will cover all the costs for the architectural, engineering, and planning amounts. The project is scheduled to start this summer.

The Herald contacted South Bend Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jon Tienhaara with several questions about the new project, but it is in the very early stages and a lot of information is not known yet.

“We have hired Harbor Architects out of Aberdeen to draw up the design,” Dr. Tienhaara told the Herald Sunday afternoon. “They are using Vector Engineering. We are in the process of

researching turf installation providers.

Once we get a design we will explore contractors.”

The South Bend School Board decided that making the move from a natural grass surface is a much better way to go given the weather conditions in Willapa Harbor.

“As far as why turf, the board wants to provide a facility that works better given the extreme rainfall we experience,” Tienhaara said. “We have a lot of youth teams in the community, youth football, soccer, etcetera, that utilize our field in addition to our own school teams. With our old practice field now being the location of our new elementary school, we need a multipurpose field that can withhold all the use our school and community requires. We feel this will be a huge benefit to our youth, students, and community.”

Dr. Tienhaara posted on his Facebook page that he was “grateful for the Cheney Foundation and their generous $50,000 grant for the #SB118 football/ soccer field synthetic turf project.”

Millam Field is used for RaymondSouth Bend HS Football, RaymondSouth Bend HS Girls Soccer, Raymond-South Bend HS Boys Soccer and several local youth sports programs.

There are hundreds of different types of turf on the market used by high school, college and professional sports teams all over the world.

The Cheney Foundation donated $35,000 last month for LED lighting for the Cheney Park Ballfield, which is used by the South Bend HS baseball and fastpitch softball teams. The city of South Bend also donated $25,000 with in-kind labor.

State of Innovation Challenge invites youth to design solutions for the state’s big issues Gov. Jay Inslee, Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal, the STEM Education and Innovation Alliance, Career Connect Washington and community partners including 4-H Washington, announces the launch of the State of Innovation Challenge — a virtual, career-connected problemsolving challenge that invites Washington youth to design and share their own solutions to some of the biggest issues Washington’s employers and communities are facing in 2020 and 2021.

From COVID-19 testing, to mental healthcare

for social distancing teens, to keeping our food supply chain robust, to creating more sustainable schools, towns, and manufacturing centers for our post-COVID19 future, the last 12 months have had no shortage of complex issues. Through the Challenge, students can explore these issues in-depth, consider how they impact their communities, and work with teachers or other adult advisers to share with state leaders through the Challenge website.

As they design their Challenge solutions, youth will have opportunities to in-

teract with industry leaders from fields like healthcare, manufacturing, technology, agriculture and hospitality to learn how these industries are addressing 2020’s challenges while also exploring their own future career path.

Educators, youth-serving program leaders and youth can sign up for more information at www.innovationwa.org.

"Washington has always been a state of dreamers, doers and innovators,” Inslee said. “This year, as we face some of the biggest challenges our state has ever faced, we want to invite the

next generation of problem solvers to help us find the way forward.”

Created with the input of teachers and youth program leaders, the Challenge is designed to support educators working with youth in the virtual environment. They can share lesson and activity plans with peers, and use the provided videos, research and industry engagement sessions to further engage students.

Youth can also learn about pathways to postsecondary education and training like Career Launch programs,

DOH updates the Healthy Washington – Roadmap to Recovery dashboard every Friday with the latest data and region phase designations. A region can move into a new phase (forward or backward) if their metrics meet the criteria using the most recent complete data, and the move takes effect the Monday after the dashboard is updated.

In the Roadmap to Recovery, there are four metrics in total – two metrics that measure community disease levels (trends in case rates, test positivity) and two that measure health system capacity (trends in COVID-19 hospital admission rates, ICU occupancy).

All four of these metrics must be met in order to move forward from Phase 1 to Phase 2, including: Decreasing trend in 14-day rate of new COVID-19 cases per 100K population; Decreasing trend in 14-day rate of new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100K population; Average 7-day percent occupancy of ICU staffed beds less than 90 percent; and, 7-day percent positivity of COVID-19 tests less than 10 percent.

In order to remain in Phase 2, a region must continue meeting at least three of these four metrics, including Decreasing or flat trend in 14day rate of new COVID-19 cases per 100K population; Decreasing or flat trend in 14-day rate of new COVID19 hospital admissions per 100K population; Average 7-day percent occupancy of

ICU staffed beds less than 90%; and, 7-day percent positivity of COVID-19 tests less than 10 percent.

If a region in Phase 2 regresses and no longer meets any three or more of the metrics, the region, including all the counties within, will move back to Phase 1 on the following Monday.

A region that meets three or four of the Phase 2 metrics will remain in phase 2. A region that meets zero, or only one or two of the Phase 2 metrics will move back to phase 1. The DOH and the LHJs within the regions reserve the right to move a region backward (from Phase 2 to Phase 1) outside of these planned metrics in situations where rapid COVID-19 spread requires more immediate action.

Willapa Valley Athletic Director Jay Pearson offered an explanation on how to interpret all the changes that have taken place from the Governor's office and the WIAA. Below is a condensed version.

1. All old COVID Matrix's are out. The only item that remained from previous matrix's is the risk level for each prospective sport.

They are listed below per risk level: Potential Infection Risk

by Sport (modified from United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee – Sports Medicine recommendations).

Higher Risk: Sports that involve close, sustained contact between participants, lack of significant protective

barriers, and high probability that respiratory particles will be transmitted between participants.

Examples: Wrestling, basketball, football, performance and competitive cheer and dance/drill that involves stunting.

Moderate Risk: Sports that involve close, sustained contact, but with protective equipment in place that may reduce the likelihood of respiratory particle transmission between participants OR intermittent close contact OR group sports OR sports that use equipment that can’t be cleaned between participants.

Examples: Volleyball*, baseball*, softball*, soccer, gymnastics* (if equipment can’t be sufficiently cleaned between competitors), tennis*, swimming relays, pole vault*, high jump*, long jump*, bowling*, and 7 on 7 football. *Could potentially be considered “Lower Risk” with appropriate cleaning of equipment and use of masks by participants.

Lower Risk: Sports that can be done with physical distancing or individually with no sharing of equipment or the ability to clean the equipment between use by competitors.

Examples: Individual running events, throwing events (javelin, shot put, discus), individual swimming, golf, weightlifting, performance and non-competitive dance/ drill with no stunting, and cross country running (with staggered starts).

permitted. His Phase 2 has low, moderate and high-risk sports competitions allowed, again with no tournaments.

There is a maximum of 200 people including spectators allowed.

Governor Inslee's activities for indoor recreation and fitness establishments includes K-12 sports, indoor sports, indoor recreational sports, indoor personal training, gyms, fitness organizations, indoor pools, indoor, indoor dance, no-contact martial arts, gymnastics, and climbing.

In Phase 1, low risk and moderate risk sports are permitted for practice and training only in stable groups of no more than five athletes.

Appointment based fitness/ training with less than one hour sessions, and no more than one customer/athlete per room or per 500/sq. ft. for large facilities. In Phase 2, which has low, moderate, and high-risk sports competitions allowed but no tournaments, and with a maximum of 200 including spectators.

In Phase 2 moderate risk indoor sports and all sports outdoors gain flexibility to have league games and competitions, which will help ensure opportunities for kids to be active.

The eight regions started in Phase 1 of the Healthy Washington plan. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) will notify the local health jurisdictions (LHJs) within a region once they have met the criteria to move into Phase 2. The

to be cleaned and then the meat from all 12 (per area) are blended together. Then a sample of that mixture is analyzed and one result is reported for that area. You can check out the historical domoic acid data at the link below.

These results and the historical record of domoic acid events can be found at: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/basics/domoic-acid/levels (click on “show historical data”) and then hover your cursor over the data points for more detail).

Along with sampling collecting razor clams every two week, WDFW together with our colleagues in the ORHAB (Olympic Region Harmful Algal Bloom) partnership continue on-going observations of the surf zone phytoplankton assemblages.

Listed below are the most recent marine toxin levels, as announced by the Washington Department of Health (DOH).

Recall, before a beach can be opened for the harvest of razor clams, WDOH protocol requires that all razor clam samples collected from that beach must test under the action level (20 ppm for domoic acid; 80 µg/100g for PSP; and 16 µg/100g for DSP) on both of two required sample collections, that must be spaced 7 to 10 days apart.

Note that in all these samples; only razor clam meat tissue is tested.

These samples were all collected on 01/11/2021.

Long Beach Area E (north): domoic acid = 45 ppm; PSP = none detected; • DSP = none detected.

Twin Harbors Area CL (middle): domoic acid = 43 ppm; • PSP = none detected; DSP = none detected.

Copalis Area K (south): domoic acid = 28 ppm; PSP = none detected; DSP = none. detected Copalis Area XL (middle): domoic acid = 25 ppm; PSP = none detected; DSP = none, detected Copalis Area GS (north): domoic acid = 27 ppm; PSP = none detected; DSP = none detected.

Mocrocks Area CP (middle): domoic acid = 36 ppm; PSP = none detected; DSP = none detected.

Mocrocks Area MP (north): domoic acid = 25 ppm; PSP = none detected; DSP = none detected.

2. Changes that were made under the New Healthy Washington State roadmap to recovery: A. Local covid numbers from our County's health department are no longer the sole factor for the rate/100,000. The state of Washington is now divided into eight Regions and we must now use the data and numbers from our larger regions.

B. All Regions and Schools will start in phase 1 on Monday, January 11th, which means: Phase 1, for the most part, aligns with restrictions currently in place for most counties today, with a few key exceptions. Indoor fitness and outdoor entertainment, for example, were both previously prohibited, but

will now be permitted with restrictions.

Outdoors: low and moderate risk sports permitted for practice and training only (no tournaments).

Indoors: Low risk sports (including dance, no-contact martial arts, gymnastics, and climbing) permitted for practice and training only in stable groups of no more than five athletes.

Indoors: low and moderate risk sports competitions permitted (no tournaments) athletes/coaches must wear a mask - attendance 25 percent capacity.

Outdoors: Low, Moderate, and high-risk sports (football) competitions allowed (no tournaments), maximum 200 including spectators.

Letters to the Editor

Happy 100!

A word from South Bend Police Chief Stigall

Photo Courtesy Keith Cox South Bend resident Don Cox celebrated his 100th birthday on January 7. Cox established South Bend Pharmacy, which is in its third generation as a family business. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, there was no big celebration. The family celebrated the milestone with a Zoom call. Look for a feature on Don in a future Herald.

To the Editor, I am hopeful that in 2021 we will get to participate in some of the events we have missed last year due to the COVID pandemic, Shop with a Cop, coaching a youth baseball team as a department, participate in in-person town hall events with TAC and R2R, participate in traffic safety emphasis patrols, and be more interactive inside the school with the kids on campus. We have made tremendous progress over the last couple of years with the TAC program and having our officer’s presence in the school, building relationships with the kids. We have tried as much as we could to continue those interactions with kids out and about in the community throughout this COVID pandemic but it has been minimal compared to on-campus interactions.

The COVID pandemic did not stop the annual RX take back event in October.

This has been an event we have been a part of since its inception in Pacific County.

A disgusting behavior is on display by our elected and non-elected leaders who want to control our free speech. Both democrats and republicans are using our constitution as a weapon to destroy each other which

This is a great event where our community members can safely dispose of unwanted/ unused prescription medications. Each year more and more people rely on this event to safely discard those medications. I am glad we were able to have it.

Chief Eastham led the South Bend Police Department for many years and was able to take his well-deserved retirement starting in April of 2020. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work for him and am thankful to him for the steps he took to prepare me for the position I hold today. Chief Eastham laid a good foundation for us to build on.

Since Chief Eastham’s retirement, we have been busy updating Police Department Policy & Procedures, setting new short term/long term goals for the police department, reorganizing inner office operations.

We have re-structured part of our Police Department budget and included a new line item “Police Officer Equipment.” This will be utilized specifically, vests, radios, tasers, and handguns.

These items typically were purchased out of the normal operating supplies. Having a designated line item in

the Capital Expenditures for these purchases will free up the operating supplies to actually purchase “Operating supplies” as opposed to officer equipment.

I am proud to announce that for the first time in at least 15 years, SBPD has a certified FTO (Field Training Officer). Sgt. Gonzalez completed FTO training in November and is using the tools he learned in that training to develop an FTO program suitable for SBPD. Once Officer Johnson graduates from the academy, he will be the first officer to go through an actual certified FTO program, helping to transition from “Academy tactics and practices” to real-life in South Bend on patrol.

I am excited about the future of the South Bend Police Department, we have a good department composed of local people who have a strong dedication to this community.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Chief of Police and lead the South Bend Police Department.

eventfully will destroy our country. The “High Tech” leaders want to control what we see and hear. We now have a critical mass of leaders who don’t have our country’s best interests in mind. Extremists for sure are now in charge.

Sadly our leaders have lost the ability to disagree, but not be disagreeable.

That is not what our con-

stitution is about. What has happened to common sense, compromise, respecting other’s views?

We for sure have a critical mass of bad actors… who we elected, corrective action is needed.

work environment. We need to keep people from losing their housing and get more who are experiencing homelessness under a safe roof.

"The pandemic era has made this inequity that much clearer, as the concentration of wealth at the top has only accelerated while Main Street has suffered and more families wonder whether they can afford food and other basic needs. That’s why I want to fund the Working Families Tax Credit. We can help fund it with a capital gains tax; one that would impact less than 2% of Washingtonians. At the same time, we’re going to lower unemployment insurance taxes for small businesses that unexpectedly had to lay off record numbers of employees.

"When we do come through this emergency, we are not going back to normal; we are going to create a better normal, together.

This goes beyond COVID-19. We can’t just address economic disparities without acknowledging racial disparities.

"We think of one another as equal because it is one of this nation’s principles, but we can’t be equal until we live as equals. My legislative agenda takes aim at these inequities in all of these areas, whether it's reforming independent investigations, environmental

Supporting our communities since 1930 Thanks to innovation and creativity, woodshop students are able to work on individual projects.

Despite the challenges of virtual learning, students from South Bend High Schools’ woodshop class worked around the clock to complete their school projects. The class also presented Raymond Lumber with a chair built by the students, as a token of appreciation for the support they received for its cutting-edge curriculum.

"I look forward to honest conversations with the Legislature about these issues and action that will benefit all Washingtonians."

"Healthy Washington Roadmap to Recovery" Reopening Plan Takes Effect Washington is now in the first phase of the state's new reopening plan, Healthy Washington: Roadmap to Recovery, which took effect Monday (Jan. 11). The plan follows metrics in health systems across eight regions of the state, and each region's ability to move to the next phase of reopening will be based on data updated weekly.

As the state sees improvement in COVID activity, each of the eight regions, which are organized based on health system resources, will have the opportunity to open more activities that are currently restricted.

The state Department of Health will assess the health metrics for each region on a weekly basis to determine whether any regions are eligible to advance a phase forward.
