Scientists at Fred Hutch have used machine learning, deep neural networks and other artificial intelligence tools to screen, identify and validate a handful of Food and Drug Administration-approved compounds that inhibit a particular inflammatory response — at least in mice and cells.

Free use firewood will be granted to individuals for personal use without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, age, handicap, or sex, and without restrictions regarding the wealth or residency of the recipient. Those who receive free use firewood permits may gather up to 6 cords and can use firewood for cutting, manufacturing, handling, or other processing, but not for resale. Commercial firewood permits are available for individuals who wish to resell firewood or collect up to 10 cords. The rate for commercial firewood permits remains unchanged at $5.00 per cord. The free use areas for collection remain unchanged as well. "We are pleased to be able to offer free personal use firewood across the Olympic National Forest," said Forest Supervisor, Kelly Lawrence. "This change will benefit people who rely on firewood as their primary heat source and will allow us to dispose of material that otherwise would have a cost to burn or remove." i Those wishing to gather firewood will still be required to obtain a free permit through a Forest Service office. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Forest Service offices continue to offer limited and virtual services; prior to visiting an office for a permit call an office to ensure staff can safely process your permit. For more information regarding the free use firewood program, please contact Kevin Senderak (360)956-2272 or Brian Jaenicke (360)956-2402.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Greetings County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Here are the KPTZ listener questions from the past week for Monday, September 27th BOCC Update. Thank you, Lynn M Sorensen KPTZ Virus Team Questions for Dr Berry: 1.After reading about someone who recently placed their elderly mother in a long term care facility only to learn afterward the facility had an active Covid outbreak, shouldn't the county be making this information public? 2. Dr Berry, how much time should lapse between influenza and covid vaccinations? 3. How does one determine the timing of a Covid booster shot? I have seen 6 months after the original vaccination. 4. My medical practitioner(eye doctor) said if I wanted to ask about vaccination status I should find another eye doctor. As a decades long patient, I asked if I could reschedule my appointment until after October 18th he said he would no longer see me as a patient. Is that medically ethical? 5. I was in a local store, and heard an employee tell a friend she was less than 24 hrs since plane from trip to Mass and Rhode Island. She had a mask on over her nose but with gaps. Should I be concerned? Should she have quarantined for some time? 6. I hope we can strike a balance between folks getting upset at the medical-political situation -which is scary to this 2x vaccinated white male with elderly parents. What would the good doctor say to those in other counties urging the same proof of vaccination in restaurants and their politicians to urge general vaccinations? 7. I am wondering about the possibility of getting my high-dose flu vaccine and Pfizer booster possibly at the same time, or if not available to me at the same time, what would be the best timing on doing one and then the other? Also, I am wondering about anticipated timing on approval for Moderna booster doses, especially for many long-term care residents who received Moderna as part of the federal pharmacy partnership with Walgreens and CVS to vaccinate on-site in long-term care and assisted living facilities. It does not really seem fair to me that I will probably be able to get a Pfizer booster sooner that my 96 year old Mom will be able to get a Moderna booster where she lives in assisted living in Missouri. Of course, what I really want the most is for the unvaccinated long-term care staff to get vaccinated!! 1 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Friday, September 24, 2021 9:50 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Health Reform &Social Justice: Opportunities for Reducing Inequity and Addressing Health Disparities:An evening with Dr. Susan Rogers, President of Physicians for a National Health Plan From: Jon Li Sent: Friday, September 24, 2021 9:49:39 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Cc: Heidi Eisenhour; Greg Brotherton Subject: Health Reform & Social Justice: Opportunities for Reducing Inequity and Addressing Health Disparities: An evening with Dr. Susan Rogers, President of Physicians for a National Health Plan CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hello CHG and SDG Grantee and other County contacts, I'm reaching out this morning to invite you to participate in a series of workshops next month to help the Department of Commerce create new homeless system performance measures. All counties and grantees are welcomed and encouraged to participate in all three workshops. To register for these meetings, please click on each of the links below: Tuesday, October 11, 2021, 10:00 am—12:00 pm Wednesday, October 20, 2021, 1:00 pm—3:00 pm Wednesday, October 27, 2021, 10:00 am—12:00 pm Recommendations through these workshops will be considered in November by a steering committee.The steering committee will comprise individuals representing organization types named in the recent legislation as well as communities often facing barriers to housing. More information on the steering committee will follow from my colleague Kathy Kinard. Some background info: • New state funding sources for rental assistance were passed into law(E2SHB 1277)following the 2021 legislative session.This act requires the Washington State Department of Commerce to create a set of county homeless system performance measures which "must target actions within a county's control that will prevent and reduce homelessness". The act provides to examples of measures that focus on adding system capacity: "increasing the number of permanent supportive housing units and increasing or maintaining an adequate number of noncongregate shelter beds". • This act requires that new county homeless system performance measures be created in partnership with diverse stakeholder groups by December 15, 2021. • Washington State Department of Commerce is required to award new funding to eligible grantees in a manner that distributes 15 percent of the funding as a performance-based allocation in accordance with the department's performance measures. • These performance measures are for each county receiving new funding from the Home Security Fund (60%of the new revenue).

WSAC STATE ASSOCIATION f ,, TO: WSAC Members FROM: Eric Johnson, Executive Director SUBJ: Special Meeting of the Washington State Association of Counties Board of Directors The WSAC Board of Directors will hold a Special Meeting on Friday, October 8, 2021, 3:30 p.m. — 5:00 p.m., to discuss potential litigation regarding responsibility for payment of the Blake legal financial obligations refunds. As you know, in early 2021, the Washington Supreme Court's decision in State v. Blake overturned 50 years of convictions for simple drug possession in superior and district courts because the law did not require knowing possession. Upon the defendant's request, the conviction must be vacated, and depending on the circumstances, may be subject to resentencing. He or she is also entitled to a full refund of the LFOs paid in relation to that conviction. This Special Meeting of the WSAC Board of Directors provides Board members an opportunity to discuss potential litigation regarding the legal responsibilities for payments associated with implementing this court ruling. For more information, a copy of the DRAFT agenda is attached. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact President Largent or myself.

Hello Dr. Berry, In your Zoom meeting last Tuesday September 21st you stated you would be open to meeting with business groups to discuss better alternatives to the current vaccine passport mandate. I have gathered a fairly large group of local restaurants and we would like to offer some solutions. This is my second request to have a public meeting with you. I think it would also be beneficial to include all of the county commissioners for both Clallam and Jefferson county.We could certainly put our group together with 4 or 5 days notice. The current policy is heavy handed, unfair, and is causing real economic damage to local restaurants and their employees. As a public health officer you need to understand all the aspects and costs of your policies when making decisions. We would like to give you constructive feedback and hope to persuade you to consider some policy changes. I look forward to your timely response.

Please consider the lack of environmental review ,impact on water availability and risk of erosion. We hope that no further action will be taken without a complete SEPA , EPA , storm water and quality of life review. 1 George and Kathy Heinz 3070 Oak Bay Road (630) 291-7138 REGARDING: APPLICANT: POMONA WOODS LLC PARCEL NUMBERS: 921183008 AND 921183002 LIST OF CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS I. We have grave concerns regarding an adequate supply of potable water for this site. Neighbors have been experiencing water shortages in the past several long dry summers. This property is not on public water or sewer and with projected draught danger increasing year to year, where is the water coming from?The owner is proposing a minimum of 25 bathrooms and up to 35 people showering at the same time,there is also the water useage for toilets,food service, laundry and landscaping. a. Has there been a study done by a hydrogeologist? II This is a SALTWATER INTRUSION ZONE The greatly increased pumping of water in a coastal freshwater well can substantially increase the risk of saltwater intrusion.As you pump more water,you lower the water pressure, allowing saltwater to rush inward. Climate change and rising sea levels are already contributing to this problem.With continuing drought problems, a depleting aquifer and a dramatic increase in water demand,what long term effects will result? II. Environmental Concerns a. This property has 2 wetlands and a great deal of old growth trees b. There are an abundance of wildlife and native plants that will be affected c. This development will bring light and sound pollution to a quiet neighborhood d. This is a sensitive area that has a great deal of erosion and runoff due to the topography e. With the upcoming logging on Rainier Land directly behind and to the North of this property, there will be great destruction to the currently healthy ecosystem. III. Erosion and Land Loss a. The proposed location of the parking lot is in an environmentally sensitive area within 50 feet of the southeast back corner of our property. b. This parking lot is situated down slope from proposed logging and upslope from a heavily eroded area of my yard. c. We have a three-season stream that runs under the adjoining side of our property during the rainy months.This side of our yard sees a lot of runoff as it is. What will happen to the area with a parking lot and deforested area directly above? d. What recourse do I have when this problem comes to pass? e. Water running down 1-2 driveways onto Oak Bay Road and onto the properties of our neighbors that live across from designated property. f. 43,607 square feet of impervious surface will be a disruption to the existing absorption of water and will increase the risk of forest fires. g. Noone has come over to my property to ascertain the environmental impact this development will have on erosion and land loss. IV. Loss of Privacy and Security a. How does Ann delineate between our property and hers? b. How does she propose to keep guests from trespassing on our property? c. I can no longer allow my grandkids to play in our woods without fear of them encountering strangers d. Our property will change from one of total serenity to the sounds of guests,delivery trucks and arriving and departing guests. e. Has Ann had the property lines reviewed? f. Do I have to be concerned about encounters with guests on our property? g. This development will surely affect our sense of security in our own home. Now,we simply close our gate and we don't have to worry about intruders.With the whole North side of our 12 acres abutting Ann's property,this will no longer be the case. h. Will there be an increase in property crimes? i. Fear of dropped cigarette butts and Wildfires V. Conditional Use Permit is not Harmonious with Intended Land Use or Zoning for the Area a. No precedent for commercial development on Oak Bay Road's Rural Residential zoning. b. Most of the residents are retirees who bought these properties with an expectation of quiet, rural living.This is not in keeping with the proposed zoning change. c. There are inadequate natural resources for this development. d. This project is way too large in scope to not seriously impact the right for preexisting residents to maintain their rural lifestyles e. What kind of precedent does this set for future commercial development in residential neighborhoods? f. What is the purpose of zoning if people can't trust that their greatest investment will be protected by their own representative County Commissioners? g. Why is one person's dream given more validity than those of existing residents? h. There will be a dramatic increase in traffic on Oak Bay Road.This is already a heavily travelled road with a great deal of bicyclists forced to ride on a narrow side strip.This development will impact the safety of this road and those travelling on it. It will also impact our ability to get out of our driveway during certain times of the day. VI. Inconsistency of Plans and Long-Term Repercussions a. We have seen plans that show a hotel ranging from 7,355 square feet to 12,000 feet.We have seen proposals for one or two driveways and one or two caretaker cottages.Which is accurate?This range is troublesome and suggests some leeway in her final plans. b. What recourse do we have after the fact when these foreseen or unforeseen issues come to pass? c. Who will be responsible when wells run dry or saltwater destroys our fresh water supply? d. How will forest fire risks be mitigated? e. When our property has land collapse and loss,what are our options for recompence?Who will finance costly French drains and prevention measures? VII. Loss of Property Values and Chance of proposed Hotel's Economic Failure a. In a neighborhood where people's primary reason for purchasing property is solitude and serenity,there will be a great impact on the home appreciation and value of surrounding homes. b. This property would have more rooms than The Old Alcohol Plant which is placed in a much more appropriate area. c. This development takes away neighbor's security in the future of their properties. Instead of being secure in our RR20 zoning,this project could fail and morph into an even less desirable business.Who wants to buy our property,directly adjoining Pomona Woods,with the promise of environmental changes, noise, lights, lack of privacy and fear of trespassers or intruders? d. Who will be mitigating all these concerns to the extent that there won't be significant impact on neighboring properties? I don't believe it is possible that this project won't have a significant adverse effect. IX. The Community is NOT in Need of Additional Conference Centers. a. There are at least 4 of these facilities currently in a 15-mile residence b. As guests will be staying and eating on site,there will not be much benefit to the Communities'coffers. c. This land would be better used as four 5-acre home sites which would assist in the lack of housing that is available the area. jeffbocc From: Annette Huenke <amh@olympus.net> Sent: Monday, September 27, 2021 5:18 PM To: jeffbocc; Mark McCauley; aberry@co.clallam.wa.us; Tom Thiersch Cc: Board of Health;Tom Locke Subject: FDA Fact Sheet for the "authorized" vaccine --JeffCo, we've got a problem CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization.

At present, Jefferson Humane Society is the only contracted facility and I feel it is not able to appropriately provide what is needed for stray and lost animals. My understanding is that there is no room to build onto or alter the current building and think the County has outgrown the current facility. In particular,the area for cats is woefully inadequate. They are kept in separate cages out of necessity. This is not the current standard of care for Humane Societies throughout the United States. Center Valley has the space to integrate cats into rooms where they are free to move about. They also have an outdoor enclosure that lets the cats appreciate the outdoors while being protected. I think the area for lost dogs at the Humane Society is not as bad.They at least have access to the outdoors. Also,the Jefferson Humane Societyis inconvenient for owners lookingfor strays or lost cats ordogs y who live in the South end of the County.A facility that is more centrally located in the County and has greater capacity is desperately needed.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. "Comirnaty®", as would be known by anyone paying attention, is simply the registered trademark for the Pfizer- BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine; the trademark was registered in June, 2020. The FDA's August 23, 2021 news release references both names. It matters not what the name on the vial says— it's the same, FDA-approved, medicine; the Pfizer/Comirnaty vaccine is widely available. One last fact: To-date, exactly zero ferry workers have been fired for refusing to comply with state-mandated vaccinations. That will change, of course, starting October 4, which is two weeks before the October 18 date by which state workers must be "fully vaccinated" per Governor Inslee's Proclamation 21-14.1: COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements. Workers who wish to stay employed by the state still have time (until October 4) to get the single-dose J&J vaccine. Ms. Huenke has once again demonstrated her seemingly boundless ignorance and gullibility.

While at university he started making cider with his best friend, each year making exponentially more and always gleaning apples from trees that would otherwise go unpicked. Moving home he began working in the Traditional Foods and Culture Program at Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe. He learns from his elders and youth alike about his traditional foods and passes those traditions on to his community in any way he can. Through helping bring folks together over cider to discuss and plan how to make his community more welcoming and inclusive, to gathering around a dinner table filled with his traditional foods and listening to stories from his community, X ew'cen Mackenzie has been searching for a way to belong and to build his community. Join us in listening to X ew'cen Mackenzie as he shares his perspective on what it means to belong to this land and community. Bring your enthusiasm for the place we all live and call home. This will be an evening of juxtaposition and fallacies but hopefully we can all walk away with more curiosity and a sense of agency to make our community a place we can all belong. 2 ° 1,1 '"f'11111 111111/41-1 lc, 4 ,d00 '44,111M117 4,* 41 4%111 414, 41.4:4 41401;t1,1, ,4Y44424 ,111.4, Friday, October 1 7:00 - 8:00 PM This event will be livestreamed and will be recorded for later viewing.

Participants will review background subjects including Northwest 5 Coast culture, local environmental history, archaeological resources, and local research history. The course will examine what is known about the archaeological resources and cultural history of the region, briefly considering several specific archaeological sites including the site at Ozette. We will conclude with a discussion of the present and likely future of this region's archaeological resources. Instructor Gary Wessen holds a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Washington State University and has operated as an archaeological consultant in the Northwest since 1983. He has 50 years of archaeological fieldwork experience in western North America, having worked in Mexico, California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and southeast Alaska.

Register here via Simpletix About the Presenters: Maria Coryell-Martin is a Port Townsend-based expeditionary artist. She graduated from Carleton College in 2004 and received a Thomas J. Watson fellowship to explore remote regions through art from 2004-2005. Since then, Coryell-Martin has worked with scientists, local communities, and travelers in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and the Antarctic Peninsula. In the field, she sketches with ink and watercolor, and collects multimedia recordings to build her palette of place, a record of experience, climate, and color. This work becomes the basis for exhibits of large-scale studio and field paintings, as well as multimedia presentations and hands- on workshops for audiences of all ages to promote observation, scientific inquiry, and 8 environmental awareness. Katie Morrison has 20 years of experience as a science educator at UCDS in Seattle, WA, creating and teaching curriculum for students and leading professional development workshops for educators. She is an active member of NSTA, serving on committees and presenting at conferences. She has assisted George in the field and is also the Director of Educational Outreach and Board Chair for Friends of Cooper Island, a non-profit organization supporting the research of Black Guillemots on Cooper Island. Learn more about Friends of Cooper Island at cooperisland.orci. Ornithologist Dr. George Divoky has been studying the Black Guillemots of Cooper Island, Alaska, since the 1970s. The Black Guillemot is a circumpolar seabird whose Arctic populations are dependent on sea ice throughout the year. His 47 consecutive years of research have allowed Divoky to create a unique time series documenting the decline of this population in response to the melting Arctic. For three months each summer, George, a Seattle resident, lives on this isolated island, maintaining this unprecedented data set.

While it sounds like the title of a new royal drama, its actually a day in the life of Research Center Director Ellie DiPietro, welcoming this fancy artifact, the Crown Zellerbach sign, into the JCHS Collection. For years the sign hung on the outside of what is now the Port Townsend Paper Mill. This large crown-shaped sign has a heartwarming "that's so JeffCo" story of how it was saved. Around the early 1970s, the Crown Z annual report noted that the logo would soon be changing from the crown shape to the more geometric "CZ" shape (this was the logo used through the 1970s and 1980s). At the time, the donor of this sign asked her father what would happen to the old logo. He inquired at the mill where he worked, and a short time later, a truck pulled up at his 12 house. Two of his work friends got out and said, "You wanted to know what would happen to the logo, well here it is!" and dropped it off on his doorstep. It stayed with the family for 51 years at their home in Port Townsend until arriving at JCHS last month. The donor was inspired to donate the sign from her participation in the "Port Townsend Paper Mill: Past, Present and Future" program series conducted earlier this year on the history of the paper mill. You can still access the videos from that series and learn more about the history of the mill on our website https://ichsmuseum.com/EducationPrograms/PT-Paper-Mill.html or at the mill's history page https://www.ptpc.com/?page id=351.

On September 20th, Stephen Schumacher received the following text from a friend who, up until last week, worked for WSF: 'I wanted to give you a status on what is happening. So they approved my"Religious Exemption,"however they said that since I was basically danger to myself and to others they could not any"reasonable accommodation," for me so they are just going to fire me anyway. No benefits just a make sure you turn in your badge and keys." Thanks for your concern —yes, he found a new job in the midwest and is busy packing up his house to move. I've filed a PRR with WSDOT to ascertain how many similarly betrayed ex-co-workers he has. If they don't manage to keep those numbers hidden, I'll relish further embarrassing you with that information in return for your contemptuous slanders. Did your source at WSF give you a bum steer, or did that disnfo come directly from your superiority- complexed imagination? Your interpretation of the status of the covid jabs matters not. The FDA fact sheet says what it says,very clearly stating that This EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and COMIRNATY will end... I have an idea,Tom. Hop on down to JH and peruse their Pfizer inventory. If you see shelves of vials labeled "Comirnaty",give me a call and I'll run right down. Before you do call, be sure to have a look at the package inserts. If it's a licensed product as you insist,that paper will be full of ink detailing potential adverse events, some of the ingredients (Pfizer redacted 20%of that in response to a FOIA) and other provider information. If it's blank with nothing but a QR code on it, it's an EUA product. You won't mind that I need to see it with my own eyes. It wouldn't surprise if Dr. Berry has put out an SOS to her overlords back east for some samples to snap a selfie for me. There may be a Fed Ex package on her desk today. I look forward to what you discover, as I have no problem admitting I'm wrong or have been misled by my sources. It happens on occasion. I'm not expecting the same from you, as I've observed over the years that your height is somehow exceeded by your ego. You set a disgraceful example for this community in terms of civil discourse in the public square, Mr.Thiersch. And after you block this email address — a rather cowardly way to shut down debate —that will be where we'll find each other. I won't lower myself to your standards with ad hominem attacks, but I'll do my best to clear the record. Thank you for this opportunity to debunk your misinformation. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to do my own research and file some more public records requests... 1 all the best, Annette On Sep 28, 2021, at 8:26 AM,Tom Thiersch <tprosys@gmail.com>wrote: "Comirnaty®", as would be known by anyone paying attention, is simply the registered trademark for the Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine; the trademark was registered in June, 2020. The FDA's August 23, 2021 news release references both names. It matters not what the name on the vial says — it's the same, FDA-approved, medicine; the Pfizer/ Comirnaty vaccine is widely available. One last fact: To-date, exactly zero ferry workers have been fired for refusing to comply with state-mandated vaccinations. That will change, of course, starting October 4, which is two weeks before the October 18 date by which state workers must be "fully vaccinated" per Governor Inslee's Proclamation 21-14.1: COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements. Workers who wish to stay employed by the state still have time (until October 4) to get the single-dose J&J vaccine. Ms. Huenke has once again demonstrated her seemingly boundless ignorance and gullibility. I have added her to my BLOCKED SENDER list so that I no longer am subjected to her baseless claims — it's unfortunately that the rest of you, as government officials, cannot do the same.

In fact, Commissioner Dean, it is you and your bureaucratic colleagues who are using scare tactics. Name-calling, shaming and refusing services to people because they decline experimental EUA products (masks are also under EUA)that don't prevent infection or transmission and can cause injury and death is a scare tactic. Wrongly accusing people of spreading dangerous misinformation is a scare tactic. Threatening businesses with closure and employees with their jobs is a scare tactic. Our ferry workers are being fired for refusing the jab.This is an outrage! Your refusal to consider the opinions — or acknowledge the strategic, scandalous censorship —of the many thousands of renowned experts who disagree with your beliefs has left you high and dry. Below you will find proof that what I said this morning is factual. The FDA offers a convoluted message, belied by the reality that it could have been made crystal clear. Some legal scholars proffer that they were instructed to find a way to license the BioNTech product while still keeping it under EUA in order to 2 give some perceived legal cover for mandates, at the same time retaining the liability shield that exists only under the EUA. Please do check with your favorite 'vaccine' provider to see if they have any vials with the name "Comirnaty" on the label. BioNTech is headquartered in Germany. Comirnaty is not available in the US. Both products use mRNA coding for the extinct wild-type spike protein, not Delta or other variants. I am owed a public apology from any of you who has shamed or otherwise insulted me over the past months, which is most of this email's recipients. The real shame due here is on anyone who supports this tyranny. Annette Huenke ps. Tom Thiersch — before you call anyone a liar again, do your own research. And the Reagan quote about 'the government is here to help' still stands. This Vaccine Information Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers [Revised: 22 September 2021] comprises the Fact Sheet for the authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and also includes information about the FDA-licensed vaccine, COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA). WHAT IF I DECIDE NOT TO GET COMIRNATY (COVID-19 VACCINE, mRNA) OR THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE? Under the EUA, it is your choice to receive or not receive the vaccine. Should you decide not to receive it, it will not change your standard medical care. Report vaccine side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS toll-free number is 1-800-822-7967 or report online to https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html. Please include either "COMIRNATY (COVID- 19 Vaccine, mRNA)" or "Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA", as appropriate, in the first line of box #18 of the report form. This EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine and COMIRNATY will end when the Secretary of HHS determines that the circumstances justifying the EUA no longer exist or when there is a change in the approval status of the product such that an EUA is no longer needed. https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download In the same vein, when Dr. Amanda Cohn, the executive secretary of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, was asked if Covid-19 vaccination can be required, she responded that under an EUA, "vaccines are not allowed to be mandatory. So, early in this vaccination phase, individuals will have to be consented and they won't be able to be mandatory." Cohn later affirmed that this prohibition on requiring the vaccines applies to organizations, including hospitals. https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/23/federal-law-prohibits-employers-and-others-from- requiring-vaccination-with-a-covid-19-vaccine-distributed-under-an-eua/ 3 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2021 12:21 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW:Transit Long Range Plan From: Transportation Lab Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2021 12:20:35 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Ariel Speser; David Faber; Kate Dean; Greg Brotherton; Heidi Eisenhour Cc: Jefferson Transit Customer Service Subject: Transit Long Range Plan CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Transit Authority Board, On May 18, 2021, The Transit Authority Board graciously allowed the Transportation Lab to make a presentation at your special meeting. We were very pleased to be given an opportunity to weigh in on the development of Jefferson Transit's Long Range (20 year). You may recall that we finished our presentation with three requests. The first request was the inclusion of carbon reduction targets in the Long Range Plan. You may recall that we included an example of what they might look like. I have included that information below. The data in this table reflects a capture of 10% of Jefferson County commuters over a 20 year period. This is certainly an achievable goal. In realistic terms, 10% capture in the next 20 years is not enough! So, I would encourage the Transit Authority Board to set targets above these levels. Year Target VMT Reduction (miles) Target GHG Reduction (metric tons) 2024 1 ,500,000 567 2028 3,000,000 1 ,134 2032 4,500,000 1 ,406 2036 6,000,000 2,269 1 2040 7,500,000 2,836 We are taking this followup opportunity to encourage you to work closely with the consultants to make sure that carbon reduction targets are included. By taking this action today, it demonstrates first that the Transit Authority Board is ready to set targets and work to achieve them. Secondly, it provides a measure of success that can be used both within and outside Jefferson Transit. In addition, grant opportunities are likely to be enhanced by having targets in place in your 20 year plan. And finally, it will become a model for other policy makers in the area to build in concrete carbon reduction goals in a broader range of policy, planning and practice. Please take the next step as you move forward with the finalizing of the Long Range Plan. Thanks so much.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Dear Board of Health, Board of County Commissioners, Dr. Berry— I have asked several times now for additional data to be included on the county's COVID-19 data dashboard. On several occasions, I mentioned my concern with the statistic of fully vaccinated vs not fully vaccinated deaths within the county. This statistic is strangely measured starting from 02/01/2021, a time when the vast majority of the population was not eligible to receive a vaccine.The reason for this has not been explained. I was (and am still) disappointed that this wasn't addressed at the 09/27/2021 BOCC meeting. I've also called Jefferson County Public Health to try to find out the reasoning(needless to say, to no avail). But, after the last BOCC meeting, I had an idea.Jefferson County Public Health has been uploading the changes in the data every week, and I realized that it's possible to extrapolate (some of)the hidden data from the figures being presented. I went onto JCPH's Facebook page and looked at the data. The statistic measuring the percentage of cases among fully vaccinated vs not fully vaccinated individuals was only added 08/04/2021. At that point, 525 total cases were in the database, and among those, 92.1% (or 483 people) were in the "not fully vaccinated" category,while 7.9% (or 42 people)were in the "fully vaccinated" category.The data I am reporting here therefore considers August 4th, 2021,as a baseline measure. Because the breakdown of fully vaccinated vs not fully vaccinated is not included for any time before that date (meaning that a great number of cases among "not fully vaccinated" individuals could have occurred because a vaccine simply wasn't available), data before August 4th, 2021,will not be included except as a baseline measure. Despite this setback,the data still provide an accurate picture of the situation after 08/04/2021, meaning that the data give information for the past two-month period (approximately). Here are the two data tables I've drawn up—you can check that the data matches the information on JCPH's Facebook page if you need to verify.This first table shows the raw data reported by JCPH.The second table contains the same information, only it has been reformatted and all data from before 08/04/2021 has been omitted (thereby allowing for an analysis of just the past two-month period).The tables have been split in two for improved readability. And here's a disclaimer:This isn't fake news.This isn't misinformation.This is the data that I have been forced to calculate on my own because the JCPH, BOH and BOCC refuse to make it easily accessible (for whatever reason). 1 Date #Of Cases %Cases #Of Cases Change in# %Cases #Of Cases Change in # (Total) Among Not Among Not of Cases (Not Among Fully Among Fully of Cases Fully Fully Fully Vaccinated Vaccinated (Fully Vaccinated Vaccinated Vaccinated) Vaccinated) 08/04/2021 525 92.1% 484 - 7.9% 41 - 08/09/2021 554 89.3% 495 11 10.7% 59 18 08/16/2021 597 86.1% 514 19 13.9% 83 24 08/23/2021 640 83.4% 534 20 16.6% 106 23 08/30/2021 685 81.9% 561 27 18.1% 124 18 09/07/2021 805 77.5% 624 63 22.5% 181 57 09/13/2021 871 77.76% 677 53 22.24% 194 13 09/20/2021 932 76.67% 715 38 23.33% 217 23 09/27/2021 977 75.9% 742 27 24.1% 235 18 Here's the second data table. ('New' refers to cases recorded after 08/04/2021.) Date #Of New #Of New Cases %Of New Cases #Of New Cases %Of New Cases Cases Among Not Fully Among Not Fully Among Fully Among Fully Vaccinated Vaccinated Vaccinated Vaccinated 08/04/2021 - - - - - 08/09/2021 29 11 37.9% 18 62.1% 08/16/2021 43 19 44.2% 24 55.8% 08/23/2021 43 20 46.5% 23 53.5% 08/30/2021 45 27 60.0% 18 40.0% 09/07/2021 120 63 52.5% 57 47.5% 09/13/2021 66 53 80.3% 13 19.7% 09/20/2021 61 38 62.3% 23 37.7% 09/27/2021 45 27 60.0% 18 40.0% TOTAL 452 258 57.1% 194 42.9% As we can see, during the time frame with usable data,the difference in the share of the population that has been fully vaccinated vs that of the population that has not been fully vaccinated is 14.2%(the difference between 57.1%and 42.9%). Although this indicates that the percentage of people who have had positive cases is slightly higher among the not fully vaccinated group,this statistic gives a completely different impression than the 92.1%vs 7.9% (a difference of 84.2%) reported at the start of August.This new percentage is roughly 1/6 of that figure! It's even a much lower number than what's currently being reported (the difference between 75.9%and 24.1%is 51.8%, more than 3.5 times higher than 14.2%).As time goes on, one would logically assume that the two percentages would level off(note the continuous downward trend in %of cases among the not fully vaccinated).The average percentages over the two-month span are 57.1%and 42.9%. For a product that is "effective," these percentages are abysmal! Both figures are close to 50%, which would be chance levels (i.e., you're just as likely to get COVID if you're vaccinated as if you're not). While this data is illuminating, it still has problems. For example, it's unclear what percentage of the people who fall into the "Not Fully Vaccinated" category have received a shot.The way the category's name is phrased implies that anybody who has received both shots of a two-dose vaccine but caught COVID within 13/14 days of their second shot would still be included in that category.These categories shouldn't be mixed if getting a single shot confers even a slight increase in immunity.And because this is bound to be the case for at least some of the people who have been labeled as 'not fully 2 vaccinated' (otherwise,why would the category be named the way it is),the percentages would shift even more (though to what degree remains a mystery,given the lack of data that's being shared). Another interesting question to consider is what the percentages are for people who have been hospitalized. No information on the percentages of people who have been vaccinated vs not vaccinated vs not fully vaccinated who have been hospitalized has been listed on the dashboard,so this is anybody's guess. (Well, probably not... I'm certain the data is there,though for whatever reason not being reported.) What percentage of'COVID hospitalizations' are actually symptomatic? (Asymptomatic individuals who test positive for COVID-19 wouldn't be hospitalized; however, an individual who is already hospitalized for some reason and then tests positive for COVID-19 still counts as a 'hospitalization,' which, again, seems like another way to inflate numbers and increase fear.) Furthermore, using articles from The Leader(because the dashboard doesn't include the information), the COVID death count for Jefferson County includes 8 people who were fully vaccinated vs 5 people who were not. 8/13 is just over 61%. If death and hospitalization are the main concerns(as opposed to just cases in general)—and they are—and if it is claimed that the vaccines prevent severe cases and hospitalizations/deaths—which is being claimed—these numbers need to be reported on.And yet they're nowhere to be found on the website. I don't know how many times I'm going to have to ask! You keep saying that the data is readily available, and yet I haven't received a single response to my inquiries and the data is clearly not readily available. If the data supports these claims—and especially if it doesn't—why is it not being shared with the public? Kate Dean accused me (with no proof) of"not liking the data"that's being shared with me... and yet I haven't had any data shared with me! Dr. Berry has not replied to a single one of my emails, nor have any members of the Board of Health or Board of County Commissioners. I'm not 'not liking the data'you're sharing with me because you're not sharing data with me! If I may channel my inner Kate Dean,you are the ones who 'don't like the data'that's being shared with you. Here's an example from the 09/27/2021 BOCC meeting that I particularly dislike. Kate Dean misused the '95%efficacy' figure, saying that '5%of cases are breakthrough cases.' (Which means she either didn't read the article appearing in The Lancet which I sent you all or she didn't understand the math (which would mean that she, also, could not have given informed consent when getting vaccinated.))The current data displayed on the county website clearly refutes that claim,with 24.1%of cases being 'breakthrough'cases in fully vaccinated individuals. Using the data I've supplied you with,that number was 42.9% in the past two months. On another note,you the Commissioners indicated that the data was strong enough to support vaccine mandates during the 09/27/2021 meeting, apparently in response to my request that Dr. Berry or the BOH hold a public Q&A session regarding the vaccines. Perhaps there's enough evidence for you to think so, but there's certainly not enough for me or any of the other people you are pressuring to get vaccinated.This would be a golden opportunity for both 'sides' to be heard and to dispel any misinformation.To give people the opportunity to have a conversation about an important topic. Thanks for taking the time to read this... Sincerely, Kincaid Gould P.S.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Cherish Cronmiller and Kathy Morgan contributed information,firsthand accounts and realistic insights which I found beneficial in their presentation regarding site development on Mill Road and winding up the encampment at the fairgrounds. The site plan and photographs enhanced Cherish Cronmiller's description of progress on-site on Mill Road. Kathy Morgan's reference to direct experiences with campers at the fairgrounds combined with Cherish Conmiller's matter-of-fact indication of the financial restraints and potential challenges associated with the new site provided meaningful perspectives of hope and caution as the Mill Road site develops. I would like to know how the monitors at the Mill Road site handle people who want to stay at the encampment who are not county residents. Funds are going to have to come from somewhere to keep the shelter and housing efforts moving forward so I do wonder how these efforts can be restricted to county residents.

JEFFERSON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Dear Friends, Was anyone else taken by surprise as the first day of fall flew by? It can't be autumn already, can it? As students and educators return to local schools, JCF itself has been busy welcoming new Community Builders, fund holders, volunteers and nonprofit partners. We are ecstatic to see our network of changemakers growing and increasing our community's capacity for real change on many of the big issues we all face together. Gratitude to all of you for being part of this work. Warmest Regards, Siobhan & Team 1 kT. enN:ti 31 j - M a. j14 Ns �.y i 4, , � .. 4' 2-...,..- a � . ,n ,�, :� � ,�� "' '' �- � Vim.. . p11' ;„ � a > s , .° "reo, -,, w.- In 2020, JC MASH partnered with Give Jefferson to raise funds to support access to healthcare for local residents. Grantmaking Informed by Community Members Part of Jefferson Community Foundation's role is to help ensure that the charitable donations made through our network have a real impact on nonprofits influencing positive changes in Jefferson County. To do this, we regularly engage the deep roots and relationships of our local community members to inform grantmaking choices. 2 For example, this summer our network member United Good Neighbors received 34 proposals from r ,.-- organizations serving the most basic human needs to participate in their Give Jefferson Campaign. To evaluate JEFFERSON.ORG the proposals, JCF helped UGN assemble a 10-member Community UNITED GOOD NEIGHBORS Outreach Committee comprised of seasoned civic and community-service minded citizens. These volunteers reviewed the proposals and met with the organizations to gain invaluable insights into readiness and potential of each application. They then shared their recommendations with each other and decided upon this year's UGN partner organizations, to be announced Monday October 6th. By serving as a connector among groups like UGN, our volunteer community and local nonprofits, JCF brings a deep understanding of community needs and uniquely informed insights to decision- making so the public can confidently make donations that have real impact.

Admittedly, the 9-year-old Salish Coast Elementary student has time before pursing a college major in theatre but he is wasting no time, honing his passion for acting with Key City Public Theater (KCPT). 4 Argus, and his enthusiasm for the theater, comes in no small part from ,'''' , 1.$7 the educational outreach that is an important part of KCPT's mission. Collaborating with teachers and students in 1st-12th grade throughout ' J Jefferson County, their goal is to help develop real world skills through play and performance. Skills like reading comprehension, self- and social � -- t awareness. The goal is for each student to learn "ensemble R� eta, awareness", says Resident Ensemble ,, Artist Maggie Jo Bulkley.

The goal was to find to superintendents who were a "fit" and who were committed to collaboration. The boards continue to work with each other with the intention of creating the greatest and most positive impacts for students. Combining the sports programs is one example of a recent success. "We are grateful for the local support of our two districts'effort to build a strong foundation for collaboration, said Kristina Mayer, Chair of the Chimacum School Board. "Through our upcoming work we will be clarifying the outcomes we want by answering key questions about what it means to be collaborative and what is the quality or nature of the narrative we create around it." In September, JCF made a $10,000 grant to support these collaborative efforts. Specifically, the funding will allow the schools to hire a professional facilitator to help define the future of the collaboration, creating protocols for managing decisions and celebrating success. The school boards will also discuss how they communicate with the community at large about their shared 6 commitment to work together for the benefit of the students they serve. "Supporting our school districts in their efforts to increase communication and collaboration in a way that enhances all students experience in the classroom and beyond aligns with JCF's mission and we are happy to direct the generosity of donors charitable giving toward this important work,"said Siobhan Canty, President & CEO.
