REUTERS/Agustin Marcarian OTTAWA — The federal Liberals say the pending takeover of a Canadian lithium mining company by a Chinese state-owned company raises no national security concerns.

Moreover, Fillmore says that mine involves lithium carbonate, not the lithium hydroxide used to manufacture batteries that are critical for electric vehicles. Consequently, he says the company's takeover by China's Zijin Mining Group Ltd. is "irrelevant" to Canada's national security. Neo Lithium Corp. itself describes the mine as "the pre-eminent lithium brine asset in the world" to meet global demand for electric vehicle batteries. Fillmore made the argument today at an emergency meeting of the House of Commons industry committee, triggered by the Conservatives who want to know why no formal national security review was conducted last fall even though Canada has deemed lithium to be a critical mineral essential to this country's economy.

I wanted to make sure to flag for you this news release from DOH about their new, at-home rapid COVID-19 test portal and information about other ways that Washingtonians can access free at-home rapid tests. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Beginning today, Washington state residents will be able to visit www.sayvescovidhometest.org to order rapid-antigen COVID tests online, and will receive those tests delivered at no cost. People can order up to 5 free tests for a household. However, supply will be limited at first, and will restock as supply into the state increases. "We anticipate people's initial need in the test kits will exceed our current supply pretty quickly, but our focus is sharing what we have right now," said Lacy Fehrenbach, MPH, CPH, Deputy Secretary for Prevention & Health. "We want to make sure the tests we have are in homes when our state needs testing the most—during this current surge." This is a statewide expansion of the ongoing partnership with CareEvolution and Amazon, a pilot program through NIH that delivered 800,000 tests in parts of Eastern Washington. Following the success of that program, DOH reached out to expand the partnership across the state to offer tests to all Washingtonians. "This is an important step toward making tests more widely available across the state," said Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, Secretary of Health. "As we work with our federal partners, we look forward to seeing an increase in the number of tests flowing directly into people's homes over the next several weeks." People can still get COVID-19 tests through any of the following options: • Order free at-home COVID-19 tests through the Federal program COVIDtests.gov. • Purchase an at-home test at local retailers and pharmacies. 2 • If you have health insurance, most insurers will now directly cover or pay you back for up to 8 at-home tests per month, for each person on your plan. • Find a test at a testing location near you. It is possible to report a positive test result from an at-home test through the state's COVID- 19 hotline. Hotline personnel will determine next steps based on your zip code so results can be recorded and reported. Staff can also guide callers through any questions they may have. The state hotline, 1-800-525-0127 (then press#), is available Monday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Tuesday to Sunday (and observed holidays) 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Language assistance is available. DOH encourages all smartphone users to download or enable WA Notify for exposure notifications and to plug in positive results. Those using WA Notify at the time they test positive for COVID-19 can record their positive test results directly into WA Notify on their devices. It is important to note that we are experiencing a surge of cases across the state, so if you have symptoms, you should assume you have COVID-19 even if you don't have a test to confirm it, and stay home if you're sick.

This study, prepared by geologists within the Washington Geological Survey division of DNR, was conducted to help develop preparation and response plans for those areas along the coast that a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami would affect. It builds on previous studies by the agency in recent years showing likely Cascadia tsunami impacts to the southern Pacific coast and for Puget Sound. "While we were lucky to avoid catastrophe from this weekend's minor tsunami on our coast, the danger should be front of mind and this report shows what we've long known. There won't be time for our coastal communities to react after a major earthquake, so it's vital we provide these detailed models and keep our communities safe when - not if - the next Cascadia mega-quake hits," said Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz. The new modeling uses a simulated magnitude 9 earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. The last Cascadia rupture was 321 years ago, and experts estimate a 10 to 17 percent chance that Washington experiences another in the next 50 years. This new study and maps are available alongside more tsunami information online at: https://fortress.wa.gov/dnr/geologydata/tsunami_hazard_maps/ger_ms2022- 01tsunami hazard olympic_peninsula.zip Study tracks projected tsunami impacts from Grays Harbor to Port Townsend The study finds the first tsunami waves would reach La Push within 10 minutes from the start of the earthquake, with the crest reaching many locations along the Pacific coast within 30 minutes. The first rising waves of the tsunami also travel into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, reaching Port Angeles about one hour after the earthquake. Flooding depths on land are expected to reach or exceed 60 feet along most Pacific coast beaches. The study finds inundation ranging from a high of about 100 feet at Yellow Banks Beach in Olympic National Park to about 5 feet at the New Dungeness Lighthouse at Dungeness. Other significant sites include Griffiths-Priday State Park at Copalis Beach at 53 feet, the Lower Hoh Tribal Center at 43 feet, and Discovery Bay at 33 feet. Several sections of State Route 112 and US Highway 101 would be made impassible. https://1190kex.iheart.com/featured/portland-local-news/content/2022-01-18-new-study-shows-impact-of-magnitude-9-tsunami-on-oympic-peninsula/ 2/6 1/24/22, 11:59 AM New Study Shows Impact Of Magnitude 9 Tsunami On Olympic Peninsula I News Radio 1190 KEX I Portland Local News The tsunami would first arrive as a trough, with sea levels gradually receding in all inner coastal waterway locations. Currents from the tsunami would move swiftly, exceeding 9 knots off the coastline and within some areas along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, posting navigational hazard for the maritime community. The model does not account for tide stages or local tsunamis triggered by earthquake- induced landslides. Local crustal faults may still represent a larger hazard for some communities.

Beginning today, Washington state residents will be able to visit www.savvescovidhometest.orq to order rapid-antigen COVID tests online, and will receive those tests delivered at no cost. People can order up to 5 free tests for a household. However, supply will be limited at first, and will restock as supply into the state increases. "We anticipate people's initial need in the test kits will exceed our current supply pretty quickly, but our focus is sharing what we have right now," said Lacy Fehrenbach, MPH, CPH, Deputy Secretary for Prevention & Health. "We want to make sure the tests we have are in homes when our state needs testing the most—during this current surge." This is a statewide expansion of the ongoing partnership with CareEvolution and Amazon, a pilot program through NIH that delivered 800,000 tests in parts of Eastern Washington. Following the success of that program, DOH reached out to expand the partnership across the state to offer tests to all Washingtonians. "This is an important step toward making tests more widely available across the state," said Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, Secretary of Health. "As we work with our federal partners, we look forward to seeing an increase in the number of tests flowing directly into people's homes over the next several weeks." People can still get COVID-19 tests through any of the following options: • Order free at-home COVID-19 tests through the Federal program COVIDtests.gov. • Purchase an at-home test at local retailers and pharmacies. 2 • If you have health insurance, most insurers will now directly cover or pay you back for up to 8 at-home tests per month, for each person on your plan. • Find a test at a testing location near you. It is possible to report a positive test result from an at-home test through the state's COVID- 19 hotline. Hotline personnel will determine next steps based on your zip code so results can be recorded and reported. Staff can also guide callers through any questions they may have. The state hotline, 1-800-525-0127 (then press#), is available Monday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Tuesday to Sunday (and observed holidays) 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Language assistance is available. DOH encourages all smartphone users to download or enable WA Notify for exposure notifications and to plug in positive results. Those using WA Notify at the time they test positive for COVID-19 can record their positive test results directly into WA Notify on their devices. It is important to note that we are experiencing a surge of cases across the state, so if you have symptoms, you should assume you have COVID-19 even if you don't have a test to confirm it, and stay home if you're sick.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ questions listed below for the Monday, January 24, 2022 BOCC Update. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Allison Berry: 1. Please explain the prediction of a dramatic decrease in the rate of Covid cases, forecasted for mid February, after the predicted highest vertical surge by the end of January we have experienced thus far in the pandemic. How does that work? 2. With new advice from CDC re using KN95 or K95 instead of cloth masks, I have had uncomfortable "fibers" itching my face from 95's and wondered it wearing a cloth mask against my face and then a K95 or KN95 over the cloth one would give the same, or similar protection. 3. Could you please explain why there are no omicron cases diagnosed yet for Jefferson county in the Jan 12 update from the State DOH? There are at least 2 possibilities: (1) The PCR tests used in Jefferson county do not detect S Gene Target Failure. As I understand the state is only sequencing samples exhibiting SGTF, so none would be sequenced if the PCR does not detect SGTF. (2) The whole process still has a lag. I've noticed that for example for King County there are 10,973 cases for Delta and 1115 for Omicron, or about 10% of total cases since Jan 2021 are already Omicron in King County. Whereas for Jefferson county there are 121 cases confirmed by sequence as Delta and Zero Omicron, so there is that question too—why is our lag so great? 4. Are there stats on the covid rates for those with boosters versus those who had the first two shots and not the booster? Curious since I keep hearing from friends and family who had booster and still got covid. i 5. I got covid over Christmas. How long does this experience benefit me, that is, give me extra protection from getting covid a second time? 6. If Jefferson Co has a population of 33,171. And we have 22 deaths, what is out death rate per 100,000? How does that compare to other counties? The state? 7. I've heard that the antigen tests aren't as effective at detecting the omicron virus. How frequent are false negatives? 8. I had a procedure at Jefferson Healthcare and when I was tested for Covid, I was told to swab each nostril for 3 seconds. I've been hearing you recommend 10 seconds for weeks now, bit is that just for the antigen tests? Are the PCR tests that much more sensitive? 9. Hyperbaric medicine facilities in Jefferson County are located where? 2 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Friday,January 21, 2022 8:26 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: 2022 Jefferson County Community Leadership Awards Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged From: Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Sent: Friday, January 21, 2022 8:25:16 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Heidi Eisenhour Subject: 2022 Jefferson County Community Leadership Awards ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

Beginning today, Washington state residents will be able to visit www.savvescovidhometest.orq to order rapid-antigen COVID tests online, and will receive those tests delivered at no cost. People can order up to 5 free tests for a household. However, supply will be limited at first, and will restock as supply into the state increases. "We anticipate people's initial need in the test kits will exceed our current supply pretty quickly, but our focus is sharing what we have right now," said Lacy Fehrenbach, MPH, CPH, Deputy Secretary for Prevention & Health. "We want to make sure the tests we have are in homes when our state needs testing the most—during this current surge." This is a statewide expansion of the ongoing partnership with CareEvolution and Amazon, a pilot program through NIH that delivered 800,000 tests in parts of Eastern Washington. Following the success of that program, DOH reached out to expand the partnership across the state to offer tests to all Washingtonians. "This is an important step toward making tests more widely available across the state," said Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, Secretary of Health. "As we work with our federal partners, we look forward to seeing an increase in the number of tests flowing directly into people's homes over the next several weeks." People can still get COVID-19 tests through any of the following options: • Order free at-home COVID-19 tests through the Federal program COVIDtests.gov. 2 • Purchase an at-home test at local retailers and pharmacies. • If you have health insurance, most insurers will now directly cover or pay you back for up to 8 at-home tests per month, for each person on your plan. • Find a test at a testing location near you. It is possible to report a positive test result from an at-home test through the state's COVID- 19 hotline. Hotline personnel will determine next steps based on your zip code so results can be recorded and reported. Staff can also guide callers through any questions they may have. The state hotline, 1-800-525-0127 (then press#), is available Monday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Tuesday to Sunday (and observed holidays) 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Language assistance is available. DOH encourages all smartphone users to download or enable WA Notify for exposure notifications and to plug in positive results. Those using WA Notify at the time they test positive for COVID-19 can record their positive test results directly into WA Notify on their devices. It is important to note that we are experiencing a surge of cases across the state, so if you have symptoms, you should assume you have COVID-19 even if you don't have a test to confirm it, and stay home if you're sick.

We believe that amendment and at least one other will be considered and approved should the bill get the votes needed to move it out of committee. However, as expected, the bill has yet to be put on Executive Session Calendar for the Finance Committee, though it has until February 3rd to move. Although it is a tax bill, it's unclear if it would be labeled NTIB (Necessary to Implement the Budget) and would still be in "play" after the first cutoff. Read more 2 Governor Proposes Dictating Best Available Science The phrase Best Available Science (BAS) is one with which most county elected officials are familiar. It is the basis for designating and regulating the protection of critical areas by local governments. It's the backbone of the adaptive management process used to develop forest practices rules that regulate timber harvest. It's even the standard for setting southern resident orca whale watching rules. Counties must consider BAS when developing critical areas and shorelines policy and regulations. The requirement to utilize BAS is in the Growth Management Act (GMA). BAS is used so policies and rules for protecting ecosystems, species, and the environment are guided by scientific data rather than hearsay, anecdotal information, or nonexpert opinion. It is widely believed that when developing environmental or technical policies and regulations, those informed by and based on BAS are superior to those not. However, the Governor is proposing a new law that disregards the long-standing guidance. Instead, he offers to determine BAS by designating it through the legislative process.

Supported employment is a program that provides paid competitive employment opportunities for I/DD in integrated work settings. Community inclusion is an individualized service that provides I/DD with opportunities to engage in community-based activities that support socialization, education, recreation, and personal development. The rates for these services were set 10 years ago and have not been increased, say for a small, temporary bump to address increased costs related to the pandemic, since then. While this small adjustment addresses the pandemic-related expenses, there is an urgent and ongoing need to bring the hourly rate into alignment with the 4 increased costs of doing business since the rate was established 10 years ago. Read more A Crazy Pace, Victory on Prejudgment Interest, Election Bills, and Property Tax Exemptions The Legislature continued its frenetic pace in week two of the short Session, with 93 committee hearings held just this week and 1,350 bills introduced in just 2022 (2,425 total for 2021-22). SB 5155 is a tort liability bill carried-over from last year. This bill would allow interest on judgments for tortious conduct to begin to accrue from the date on which a person suffers an injury or loss. This means interest would start to accrue before a claim was filed and, in some cases, even before a county was made aware of the injury or loss. Current law provides that interest begins to accrue on the date a judgment is entered by a court. The date when interest starts is especially important in an era where litigation and even settlement negotiations can drag on for years. Much delay can result from plaintiff choices or court schedules, neither of which is in county control.

PMCID: PMC8289588 Published online 2021 Jul 3. doi: 10.1155/2021/5592042 PMID: 34335827 Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19: A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area Arturo Cervantes Trejo, 1 Isaac D. Castaneda,2 Alejandra Cortes Rodriguez, 3 Victor R.Andrade Carmona,3 M. del Pilar Calve Mercado,4 Liliana Salgado Vale,3 Montserrat Cruz,5 Sara Barrero Castillero,6 Lucero Chavez Consuelo,3 and Mauricio Di Silvio 7,8 Abstract Knowledge of the antiseptic effects of hydrogen peroxide (H202) dates back to the late 19th century, and its mechanisms of action has been amply described. Globally,many physicians have reported using H202 successfully, in different modalities, against COVID-19. Given its anti-infective and oxygenating properties,hydrogen peroxide may offer prophylactic and therapeutic applications for responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. We report a consecutive case series of twenty-three COVID-19 patients (of 36 initially enrolled)who had been diagnosed by their primary care physician(mean age: 39, range: 8 months-70 years; 74%male) and twenty-eight caregivers in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area who received a complementary and alternative medicine(CAM)telemedicine treatment with H202 taken by mouth(PO, at a concentration of 0.06%), oral rinse (mouthwash, 1.5%), and/or nebulization(0.2%). We describe the treatment program and report the response of the COVID-19 patients and their caregivers. The patients mainly recovered well, reporting feeling"completely better" at 9.5 days on average. Two (9%)were hospitalized prior to joining the study, and one did not fully recover. Patients frequently reported nausea and sometimes dizziness or vomiting related to the oral treatment. None of the twenty-eight caregivers in close contact with the patients reported contracting COVID-19. Given its low cost and medical potential and considering its relative safety if used properly, we suggest that randomized controlled trials should be conducted. These should include both SARS-CoV 2-positive and SARS-CoV-2-negative participants,with single or combined modes of administration of H2O2, to study the benefits of this simple molecule and offer safe guidance regarding its use by health professionals. 1. Introduction A case series is described on twenty-three ambulatory patients diagnosed with COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) and monitored by telemedicine,using an adjuvant therapy of hydrogen peroxide (H202), administered PO (per orem),by mouth rinses (oral gargles), and by inhalation routes. We report the https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 1/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... clinical outcomes of the consecutive COVID-19 patients and their caregivers, who were treated by our medical team between May 11 and July 19, 2020. Among other things, the team conducted a nonexhaustive review of the scientific literature to identify possible therapeutic and prophylactic alternatives. This review was supplemented by literature from the complementary, traditional, and integrative medicine fields. Our aim was to identify nonstandard therapeutic alternatives for treating viral infections, such as COVID-19,that could be easily and cheaply attained in Mexico over the counter and aid in the primary health response to the pandemic. With these requisites in mind, we identified this clinically useful molecule, hydrogen peroxide. Dating back to 1888, Love et al. reported the use of hydrogen peroxide as an anti-infectious agent and described it as effective in treating numerous diseases including scarlet fever, diphtheria, runny nose, coryza,whooping cough, asthma, hay fever, and tonsillitis [1]. Specifically for viral diseases that attack the respiratory system,the first reported medical success using hydrogen peroxide therapy dates back exactly 100 years,when doctors Oliver and Murphy reported in The Lancet how they had successfully applied intravenous hydrogen peroxide to treat a group of patients with influenza; they reduced by half the mortality among this group of patients,which consisted of troops from the Indian army during the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu pandemic in the Mesopotamian valley [2]. Although the use of hydrogen peroxide therapeutically has generated great controversy in alternative medicine [3], this ubiquitous molecule is not just one of the many components that help regulate the amount of oxygen that reaches cells,but its presence is vital for a variety of other functions of the body. Many positive effects of hydrogen peroxide on the immune system response have been described, including the stimulation of monocytes and T-helper cells which help fight infections,the increased production of interferon-gamma,which has a role in immunoregulation, and the effect of decreasing the activity of B cells, which have a role in up-regulating the inflammatory response [4]. Known in medical terms as oxidative therapy or bio-oxidative therapy, hydrogen peroxide is a simple, well-studied, and useful molecule for a range of medical and sanitary applications. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) contains one more atom of oxygen than water(H2O) and is naturally produced in the human organism as a by-product of oxygen metabolism. It is metabolized by enzymes known as peroxidases and catalases, which decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide into water and a free oxygen ion. "Hydrogen peroxide appears to be a ubiquitous molecule. We exhale it, excrete it and take it in from diet" [4]. It is produced endogenously for many functions of living organisms, and there is an abundance of scientific knowledge on this molecule,with sufficient documentation on its uses for sanitation, sterilization, and, importantly, diverse therapeutic modalities. Given that the H202 molecule decomposes into water(H20) and oxygen (0—), in appropriate doses, it is relatively safe for animal and human uses, as well as relatively nontoxic. In the late 1980s, Farr reported that hydrogen peroxide offers therapeutic benefits by directly destroying microorganisms through dual oxidative and oxygenating actions, caused by the released oxygen molecules [5, 6]. In more recent times,hydrogen peroxide has been widely hailed for use in the so-called"oxygenation therapy" in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), several types of cancer, heart and blood vessel diseases, immune disorders, infectious or pulmonary diseases, and many other ailments and conditions. H202 has also been used in dentistry, alone or combined with other salts, since the start of the century [7, 8]. In a recent review,Marshall, Cancro, and Fischman have described scarce side effects on soft tissues after using 1%-1.5%H202 as a daily rinse,with over two years of follow-up. They report an in vitro study that found that 3%H202 effectively inactivated many virus types, discovering that https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 2/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... "coronaviruses and influenza viruses were the most sensitive" [8]. They further state that"since SARS- CoV-2 is vulnerable to oxidation,preprocedural mouth rinses containing oxidative agents such as 1% H202 have been suggested to reduce the salivary viral load" [8]. Brownstein et al. from Wayne State University School of Medicine, who has been applying oxidative therapies for over two decades,recently reported a novel treatment program combining nutritional and oxidative therapies against COVID-19. They used hydrogen peroxide to successfully treat the signs and symptoms of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 [9]. They base their treatments on a combination of oral, intravenous, intramuscular, and nebulized hydrogen peroxide. Their approach has resulted in zero deaths and the recovery of 107 COVID-19 patients [9]. The Food and Drug Administration(FDA) and other official health agencies have also approved the use of hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant for medical equipment and facilities that have been in contact with the SARS-CoV-2 [10]. In vitro studies demonstrate the efficacy of H202 in the vapor phase as a viricide against pathogenic viruses such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV [11]. Other studies, regarding viral inactivation in surfaces using diverse disinfectants, including hydrogen peroxide, have also been reported [12, 13]. Recently, the medical hypothesis that hydrogen peroxide is effective against the COVID-19 coronavirus, as well as other viral pathogens and bacteria,has been further advanced[14, 15]. Caruso et al. on the front lines against the COVID-19 outbreaks in Naples, Italy,recommend the need for clinical protocols and research on oxidative therapies regarding COVID-19 [14]. After review of the literature, they propose that the application of hydrogen peroxide to the epithelial cells of the nose, mouth, and throat could well be"extremely effective"against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 [15]. Gansky's clinical trial at UCSF titled"Effect of antiseptic mouthwash/gargling solutions and pre- procedural rinse on SARS-CoV-2 load" is another example of current research on the subject [16]. The Italian group further proposes that a COVID-19 disinfection regimen by gargling with hydrogen peroxide through mouth rinses (and gargles),two to three times a day, could be useful for the disinfection of COVID-19 from the oral cavity. They also recommended nasal washes with a peroxide nebulizer two times a day. In their opinion, "the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide-based therapeutic regimen would be verifiable by a significant reduction in the rate of hospitalizations and respiratory complications in patients positive to SARS-CoV-2" [14, 15]. Gansky's clinical trial at UCSF titled "Effect of antiseptic mouthwash/gargling solutions and pre-procedural rinse on SARS-CoV-2 load" is another example of current research on the subject [32]. A further example is Khan et al.'s clinical trial of gargling agents in reducing intraoral viral load among COVID-19 patients based in Pakistan [17]. This quadruple blind trial provides useful information because it is randomized and controlled, and one of their treatments is a 1%hydrogen peroxide gargle. The study design, which includes patients in parallel groups,using diverse types of gargles and nasal lavages,has as outcome measure the intraoral viral load of SARS-CoV-2, and their results will test the hypothesis of H202's usefulness for handling the current pandemic, especially in overburdened areas currently suffering consecutive waves of COVID-19 transmission. Given the public health emergency facing Mexico and what ethics mandate from us as physicians, being aware of the increased demand expected for healthcare services in Mexico [18], as well as the absence of effective and approved therapeutic regimens, we hypothesized that hydrogen peroxide, an antiseptic agent, could play a pivotal role in reducing the severity and duration of the illness in patients and also preventing transmission among caregivers and close contacts. We therefore provided https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 3/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... ambulatory treatment using hydrogen peroxide as a complementary therapeutic alternative for twenty- three COVID-19 patients. This treatment was extended in a prophylactic modality to twenty-eight caregivers or persons in close contact with the patients. Here, we present a case series with our findings and provide some insight and recommendations, which could be useful to the scientific community as an adjuvant treatment during the pandemic's evolution as it affects different countries. 2. Materials and Methods This was a single-center case series. All patient consultations were provided in an ambulatory care setting by telemedicine,using traditional telephone calls and WhatsApp messaging. Medical consultations were provided by licensed physicians from the Faculty of Health Sciences,Anahuac University Mexico, along with five recent medical graduates, and from a private hospital in Mexico City. Inclusion criteria were symptomatic patients having a COVID-19 diagnosis made by their primary care physician, with a prescribed medical treatment;positive RT-PCR(reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction), computed tomography (CT) scan, or chest X-rays suggestive of COVID-19; having access to a healthcare service provider; consent to participate in telemedicine service; agreement on daily follow-up calls; providing informed consent for the ambulatory telemedical management of their condition with the use of hydrogen peroxide as a complementary experimental alternative; and not being in a serious stage of the illness,nor presence of symptoms of severe respiratory distress that requires hospitalization. Of the initial 36 patients enrolled,two cases were excluded due to loss of follow-up, five were excluded due to nonacceptance of the adjuvant treatment with hydrogen peroxide, one discontinued the treatment, three did not provide test results, and one was misdiagnosed with COVID-19. This meant that only 23 of the initial patients fit the inclusion criteria for this case series report. Information collected included age, sex, date of birth, initial date of symptoms, care provider,medical history,medications, and supplements taken. The number of days of illness before being recruited into this treatment program was also documented. For chest X-ray images and CT scans,we used the reports provided by radiologists and validated the images ourselves. SARS-CoV-2 testing was done by a professional using RT-PCR by independent laboratories and nasal swab sampling. A concentrated solution of 30 mL of tridistilled or ultrapure hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 35% (115 volumes)was provided to each patient and each caregiver in 30 ml droppers. Given the risk of misuse because of the oxidizing corrosive nature of the concentrated H202 solution,precise instructions on preparing the dilutions were given both verbally and in writing (described in Table 1). Purified bottled water or simple tap water was used to dilute the H202. Patients and caregivers were required to purchase a commercially available nebulizer for respiratory treatment. Clinical monitors accompanied caregivers and patients via phone calls during the opening of the packaging and accompanied the preparation process to ensure the adequate knowledge and use of the solution and preparation for each different administration route. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 4/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo...

Open in a separate window Patient and caregiver interventions included a basic training for measurement of temperature, oxygenation, respiratory frequency, and cardiac rate and keeping a record of clinical signs and symptoms. Both the oral and nebulized administration were given depending on each patient's tolerance. We made a note of adverse effects such as nausea,pharyngeal or nasal irritation, and vomiting. As the symptoms improved, the oral intake and the nebulizing could be reduced by the patient, coordinated by the clinical monitors and attending physicians. Whenever patients presented severe clinical deterioration(oxygen saturation<85%, dyspnea,tachycardia, extreme fatigue), hydrogen peroxide was suspended, and the subjects were instructed to seek medical attention in a hospital. Adverse effects were monitored in accordance with guidelines issued by the Mexican Sanitary Authority(COFEPRIS) and Mexican Official Norm of Pharmacovigilance (NOM-220-SSA1-2016). Disease progression was evaluated based on clinical criteria: first improvement(or feeling of improvement endpoint)was defined as the positive change that each of the patients report to the clinical monitor during the daily follow-up interview. Clinical monitors were trained to recognize this positive change when the patient, during the interview, in addition to spontaneously reporting a feeling of improvement, reported a decrease in the following symptoms: headache, asthenia/adynamia, general discomfort, and dyspnea/shortness of breath. Completely better or clinical remission of symptoms endpoint was defined as the total or almost total absence of any of the following symptoms during the daily follow-up interview for each case: headache, asthenia/adynamia, general discomfort, and dyspnea/shortness of breath. This second endpoint entails the clinical remission of symptoms and therefore allows the clinical monitor to declare the end of the acute period of the disease. Antipyretics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used as each clinical case required. Concomitant medications for comorbidities were also continued as managed by their usual healthcare providers. Additional medications used by patients included antiretrovirals, antibiotics, and in two cases hydroxychloroquine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 5/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... 3.

Eight patients reported twelve episodes of mild adverse effects,half from the oral and half from the nebulized routes of administration. Out of six adverse effect reports from oral administration, five were possibly not related to the use of H202. These patients were similar in that they reported gastroesophageal symptoms prior to administration or were using several PO medications simultaneously,without gastric protection. Out of the six adverse effect reports from the nebulized route of administration, four were possibly not related to the use of H202 and two were due to accidental misuse. All adverse effects had complete recovery, with no after-effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 11/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo...

Of the 28 caregivers who received instructions for prophylactic mouth rinsing and gargles with H202, none reported acquiring the disease at the closing of the study or after the 30-day follow-up period. Three caregivers (11%)reported minor safety issues with the handling of the H202 concentrated solution. On two occasions, small amounts of the solution were spilled during preparation and reached the skin surface of hands or fingers of the person preparing the dilution. This caused immediate burning sensation and whitening of skin surface which lasted between 20 minutes and 30 minutes. Treatment was indicated as washing hands and rinsing in cold water. In one case, an undiluted drop of H202 accidentally remained on edge of the glass used for gargling. A canker sore in the person's gum occurred as undiluted H202 touched the oral mucosa. All these cases resolved favorably, without complications or after-effects. Figure 1 illustrates the start of H202 therapy(forward arrow) and the day of first improvement (triangle). In ten patients, "first improvement"was reported on the first day of treatment with hydrogen peroxide. In many of these cases, the improvements were noted since the first applications of the hydrogen peroxide. On average, the duration of disease starting from the application of hydrogen peroxide to recovery was of 8 days. The minimum days for complete recovery were 4 and the maximum were 14. All patients except number 17 had a complete recovery. Two patients were hospitalized and discharged prior to inclusion in the study. 4. Discussion "When the river sounds, it means it's carrying water" [19]. We have described the use of three concomitant treatment modalities with hydrogen peroxide (mouth rinse and gargles, oral, and respiratory)which have proven to be safe and well tolerated among a group of 23 consecutive COVID- 19 patients. Complementary and alternative medical treatments such as this,using hydrogen peroxide, may have played a significant role in the rapidly improving clinical characteristics and health outcomes observed among our consecutive twenty-three COVID-19 patients, and thus, it deserves further investigation. The age of the patients at a mean of 39 was relatively young compared to those who experience severe COVID-19, and without a control, it cannot be concluded that the treatment contributed to reducing the duration or severity, considering the natural history of disease [20, 21]. Overall,most patients had a disease that lasted between 15 and 30 days, and only three patients had a disease that lasted more than 31 days. The shortest duration was 11 days in patient#9. In four patients, the duration was 14 days or less. Patient#12 came to us after being in the hospital for 5 days and was admitted considering his first day when he received the positive result of the RT-PCR result; the duration of his disease was 53 days. The start of his disease was much longer than is reflected in Figure 1. For over four decades now,proponents of oral therapies with hydrogen peroxide have existed in the CAM and integrative medicine circles. They have argued in favor of the therapeutic effects of this molecule for multiple human ailments, ranging from cancer to diabetes, and spanning diseases of the cardiovascular,respiratory, gastrointestinal, and immune bodily systems [5, 6, 22-26]. Yoon et al. have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 viral load is consistently high in the saliva,higher than that in the oropharynx during the early stage of COVID-19 [27]. Their finding suggests that SARS- CoV-2 might be secreted from the salivary glands. Therefore,mouth rinsing with an antiseptic agent could be effective in reducing the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the saliva and controlling droplet transmission for a short-term period. The hypothesis that oral gargle agents and nasal lavages with 13/19 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... hydrogen peroxide dilutions could reduce the oral and the nasopharyngeal viral load and could help improve the immune response to COVID-19 and its symptoms seems to be well founded and is supported by our observations in this case series report [14,11 Our enteral supplementation of hydrogen peroxide at 0.06%was based on the twofold assumption that (1) the SARS-CoV 2 attacks the gastrointestinal system of many patients and(2)the gastrointestinal system may become a modulator for circulating oxygen in the body. It is known that the gastrointestinal tract is about 40%more efficient at assimilating oxygen than the lungs; thus,the oral administration of hydrogen peroxide is a very effective way of getting therapeutic oxygen into the body [25]. In the oral administration, a frequent complaint was that it caused nausea, sometimes dizziness, and vomiting and was not easily tolerated. Incremental dosing was instructed;with gradual increments, tolerance and acceptance of enteral administration were achieved. Successful nebulization with oxidizing solutions for the symptomatic treatment of airway infections has also been recently reported for COVID-19 cases [23]. Most of our patients reported immediate relief of respiratory symptoms and documented improved oxygenation as measured by their pulse oximeter with the nebulization. In addition to the reduction in the duration(compared to clinical progress and outcomes for Mexican patients),we observed a possible reduction in the severity of the disease and a perceived reduction in symptoms by most patients. Seven out of the twenty-three patients were responsible for their own care. Of the other sixteen patients, a total of twenty-eight caregivers or people in close contact with the COVID-19 patients (living within the same household) self-administered prophylactic hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse and gargle recommendations, as described within the methodology. At follow-up, one month after the disease had receded,none of the caregivers who used prophylactic mouth rinsing and gargles reported acquiring the disease. Because we gave the patients/caregivers a 35% solution of H202 to dilute themselves, there was a risk of severe harms by accidental spillage or inhalation of the concentrated solution or by accidental misdilution. These safety issues were emphasized with patients and caregivers, and specific instructions were added to keep away from children. Ideally, only prediluted solutions should be dispensed to patients to avoid possible harm from misuse of a highly oxidizing corrosive solution. The systematic review of Ortega et al. [12] to detect studies that document the virucidal effect of hydrogen peroxide concludes that there is no evidence specifically for its use through mouthwashes, which is understandable, since documenting the virucidal effect of rinses had not been the great interest of the scientific community, as Ortega himself makes clear. There is no study in the literature demonstrating the efficacy of H202 as a virucidal agent for surface disinfection either. During their review, they found only one in vivo study that evaluated the efficacy of a product(Listerine) in reducing HSV l in the saliva of patients with active lip lesions [28]. The lack of a standardized method to demonstrate how to verify the virucidal effect in nonstandardized samples from the nasopharyngeal and oral cavity becomes a challenge to develop clinical research studies aimed at generating evidence of the virucidal effect of any mouthwash. This can be confirmed in the systematic review carried out by Cavalcante-Lego et al., aimed at detecting evidence on the effectiveness of mouthwashes in reducing viral load in COVID-19. They recommend further research(mainly randomized clinical trials), given the scant evidence found [29]. On the other hand, efforts such as that of Gottsauner and collaborators [30],to question the effect of hydrogen peroxide at 1% on intraoral viral load in 10 subjects positive for SARS-CoV-2, are valuable 14/19 https://www.nebi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... to warn the scientific community about the importance of not advancing clinical measures and recommendations for the application of hydrogen peroxide without the support of scientific studies that present conclusive data. Currently,the clinical trials database of the National Library of Medicine contains 15 registered trials about the use of hydrogen peroxide as a prophylactic mouthwash, in concentrations ranging from 1 to 3%. This fact highlights the interest of the global scientific community in the use of this substance to combat the SARS-CoV-2. However,there are no registered trials for use of H202 with oral or nebulized applications. Amidst the staggering toll of the pandemic, there has been scarce scientific interest in complementary and alternative medical treatment modalities against COVID-19, such as this one using H202,which we believe merits further scientific scrutiny. Given the possible therapeutic and prophylactic value that has been observed in this small number of patients, caregivers, and close contacts, we believe that the molecule merits further scientific scrutiny. We considered that hydrogen peroxide could be easily distributed at mass scale, could help slow the transmission among healthcare professionals and vulnerable populations, and could even act as a prophylactic agent. This is the reason why we release this case series report,with the hope of raising interesting questions in the medical field and stimulating discussion as well as much needed clinical research on the subject. 5. Limitations The results obtained are only observational and not generalizable to the entire population and therefore do not prove causation. Another limitation is selection bias, given that patients were not selected randomly and were accepted consecutively as they approached us and fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Another limitation is that the pharmacological treatment of all patients in the case series was not standardized, and during the study implementation primary care physicians prescribed medication such as hydroxychloroquine and ivennectin, now known to have no medical improvement in the disease. This makes it difficult to fully attribute hydrogen peroxide's capacity to improve the disease. We also did not provide case controls. Given the public health emergency,patients were accepted rapidly and had diverse comorbidities and concomitant medical treatments that could interfere with the treatment and influence the health outcomes. Thus, further study is needed with a standardized protocol of medical treatment(unavailable now) given the novelty of the disease we are assessing and the lack of resources for implementing a double- blind randomized clinical trial. As with any report aiming to expose the benefits of telemedicine, a limitation to this method of care that must be addressed is the difficulty in gauging whether the caregivers or patients are correctly administrating the therapies prescribed or being rigorous in the vital sign recording, our primary measurement for improvement. It is most definitely a trust exercise,but one that is worth the risk based on our findings. A minor,yet worth addressing, limitation is that, due to the ambulatory care given to our patients, paraclinical studies were not readily available, and only the patients with more economic capacity were able to acquire paraclinical posttreatment. This is primarily the reason why our most reliable improvement metrics were signs and symptomatology. In the official guidelines for the treatment and management of COVID-19 ambulatory patients, published in February 2020 and updated in July 2020 by the Mexican Ministry of Health,the indication for treatment for COVID-19 patients is merely symptomatic [31]. This means that patients are sent https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8289588/ 15/19 1/24/22, 12:40 PM Hydrogen Peroxide as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19:A Case Series of Patients and Caregivers in the Mexico City Metropo... home with acetaminophen as the only treatment. There are no pharmacological alternatives presented as substitutes for Mexican practicing physicians, rendering the management of the disease a complicated challenge for many. Complementary and alternative medicine has a lot to offer to fill this inhumane void. 6. Conclusions Hydrogen peroxide is a widely used,highly accessible, and available chemical compound whose efficacy has been demonstrated on several human viruses, including coronavirus and influenza viruses [32]. It is possible that hydrogen peroxide,by diverse routes of administration and mechanisms of action, could exhibit a therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect against SARS-CoV-2. i. The concentrations of H2C)2 that we used for mouth rinses, for enteral administration, and for nebulized application are safe, as no serious side effects were reported in either of the three modalities of administration. ii. Research is needed to determine the full potential of complementary and alternative therapies such as those with hydrogen peroxide, for use in prophylaxis and treatment against COVID-19. iii. We strongly encourage the rapid development of randomized controlled trials to study the benefits of oral(enteral),mouth and nasal rinse, and vaporized applications of hydrogen peroxide against SARS-CoV-2, in singular use or therapeutic combinations. iv. Although further clinical studies are required to evaluate the safety and efficacy of antiseptic mouthwashes against SARS-CoV-2,the prophylactic application represents a promise for widespread uses among the general population, especially the vulnerable and highly exposed groups.

We have complied with benefitting the common good by offering curative or prophylactic treatment to patients,health personnel, caregivers, and relatives hoping to avoid contagion or decrease the severity of the disease. This study complies with the universal principles in ethics during research in human beings and the Declaration of Helsinki. By not having an effective treatment for COVID-19 and given the morbidity and mortality of the disease, the exploration of a known solution with low-risk toxicity is made using an innovative application, not previously described in the medical literature. Throughout the trial,the personal liberty of patients was respected. Consent After explaining simply and clearly what this protocol consisted of, the patients gave their consent, being aware that they could leave the trial if and whenever they so wished. The patients described in the case series are anonymous and not identifiable from the details presented. There is no patient identifiable data included in the case series.

Port Townsend StyroCyclers Styrofoam Recycling The volunteer Port Townsend StyroCyclers group is recycling expanded polystyrene,commonly known as styrofoam,from East Jefferson County residents and businesses. Because of the huge volume processed by their Kent-based recycler,the StyroCyclers can only accept pieces that are white,rigid,clean,and dry,with all tape,labels,paper cardboard,and packing peanuts removed. The styrofoam is packed and stored at Fort Worden in Port Townsend,then delivered to Kent once per month thanks to OlyCap and Northwest Harvest food bank trucks.At the Kent facility,a densifier machine uses heat and pressure to convert the styrofoam into a toothpaste-like consistency that cools into heavy,glassy blocks,which are then sold to manufacturers of products such as picture frames,construction details,and surfboard blanks.The densified product is in high demand because it is less expensive than virgin plastic. The StyroCyclers accept styrofoam by appointment only.Donors will be given an appointment for a community collection event or individual drop-off or pick-up.Message them at any time at PTStyroCyclersPgmail.com or through their Facebook page.

Since the winds had largely subsided and the remaining waves were in the i'range,the wave runup appeared to be only about o.i'.With that in mind,this event was a good chance to compare the storm surge forecast to the difference between predicted and observed water levels at the tide gauge. In this case,the surge forecast was very good!See the post linked above for photos of the event and the full analysis.

New IPCC Report on Climate Here is an excerpt from climate.gov about the new climate report released a few weeks ago. '....the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)released the Physical Science Basis report from Working Group 1,a major part of their sixth Assessment Report.This report includes the most up-to-date understanding of the climate system and climate change,providing the best scientific evidence in order to understand the past,present,and future changes to our planet from global warming.The conclusions are clear:climate change is already affecting nearly every part of the planet,and human activities are unequivocally the cause. The report,co-authored by 234 scientists from around the world,finds that we are now around 2.0°F(1.1°C)warmer than in 1850-19oo,warming at a rate without precedent in at least 2000 years,possibly longer.This report confirms that the climate-driven changes occurring around the world are widespread,rapid,and intensifying.Our influence on the climate is making extreme weather and climate events—like heat waves,heavy rain,and droughts—more frequent and severe,putting more people,property,and natural resources in harm's way. Unless there is a rapid and large-scale reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,limiting warming to a 2.7°F(1.5°C)threshold will be beyond reach.Scientists warn that the more humans drive Earth's average temperature above this threshold,the more frequent and severe extreme weather and climate events will become."

Since when was it so bad to want to do business with the Russians? BETA It's politically correct to hate on Russia these days. To like Russia even a bit means you support Vladimir Putin, or are impressed by the Russian mafia and probably hate polar bears, or something. If it is so bad to do business with the Russians, or even want to do business with the Russians, then maybe these companies should cut and run before the righteous threaten them with boycotts or defame their name in the press. Here's who's doing business with the bad guys. On July 13, Pfizer closed a joint venture agreement with Russian pharmaceutical company NovaMedica. Boeing has been in Russia for decades.

Box 47440 — Olympia, WA 98504-7440 — 360-357-2600 For immediate release Jan. 24, 2022 Contact Dan McKernan, Project Engineer, 360-565-0623 Tina Werner, Media Relations, 360-704-3270 US 101 Indian Creek fish passage project west of Port Angeles begins Feb. 7 1 Travelers will use temporary bypass road while crews replace culvert PORT ANGELES —An outdated culvert under US 101 at Indian Creek has impeded the movement of salmon and other fish from traveling upstream for years. Now a Washington State Department of Transportation project to replace that culvert will mean a lower speed limit and a temporary traffic signal about 10 miles west of Port Angeles. WSDOT's construction partner, Scarsella Bros., Inc., is scheduled to begin work Monday, Feb. 7, on building a temporary bypass road to keep people moving. When the bypass opens to travelers in early spring of 2022, crews will remove the existing culvert and replace it with a 180-foot concrete girder bridge for improved fish migration. "Indian Creek is a tributary to the Elwha River," said WSDOT Project Engineer Dan McKernan. "Once the new bridge is built, it will restore 11 miles of potential habitat for Chinook, sockeye, coho, bull trout and steelhead salmon that travel and spawn in the area." What travelers can expect There will be intermittent lane and shoulder closures while crews construct the bypass road to allow heavy equipment to enter or exit the work zone. When the bypass road opens to traffic, the speed limit through the area will be reduced to 25 mph and a temporary signal will alternate travelers in one direction at a time. Any full highway closures will be announced in advance. Work will take place just west of Herrick Road in Clallam County. The project is slated to wrap up in spring of 2023. A restored Indian Creek WSDOT has spent nearly three decades improving fish passage and reconnecting streams to keep waterways healthy. Field biologists estimate Indian Creek is only 30 percent passable. This project builds upon WSDOT's commitment to replace the nearly 100-year-old US 101 Elwha River Bridge farther east, which is expected to begin in fall of 2022.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Mr. Cairns, Regarding your offline response to my public comment, as relayed online by Mr. McCauley, at today's BoCC meeting: The agenda for the August 4 special meeting of the BoCC did not include any PPT, so there was no advance notice that major changes were in store for the plastic recycling program. There was also no PPT posted for the May 24 meeting at which this subject was discussed. Other than watching the prior meeting, there is no way that the public would have received anything approaching adequate notice of the changes in the plastic recycling policy. If your PPT did, in fact, specifically state that only#1 and #2 plastic would be accepted, so be it. But if you believe that a PPT which was not and is still not accessible to the public from last year is a sufficient explanation for the changes in the recycling program, you are seriously mistaken in that belief. From the consent agenda item today (1/24/2022): Public Notification of Change in Recycling Service County is responsible for notifying citizens of any temporary or permanent change in service. Change in service includes, but is not limited to: adding or removing materials accepted: adding or removing recycle boxes from a site: or closing a site. So where are the "notices to citizens" notifying them of this massive change in materials accepted? Or are we just supposed to go to the transfer station and only then find out that we have failed to correctly sort our plastic?

ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello Commissioners I intended to give this comment at the last Board of Health meeting but was unable to make it.As I was also unable to attend today's meeting, I'll share my comment via email: I'm sure you all know somebody who is at a higher risk of severe disease from COVID-19. If somebody close to you (maybe someone living in your own household)got COVID-19,what would you do? If the hospital had no room for your loved one, what would you do? Many people have no idea what they can do if they get COVID. Neither Dr. Berry nor Public Health have prominently shared information about how to treat COVID. Instead, you are basically told to stay home and hope for the best.The DOH website suggests opening a window, if possible. Most people who are otherwise healthy will be fine, but the chance for severe disease exists whether you've received one of the COVID injections or not, and it is grossly irresponsible for there to have been absolutely no messaging about what to do to if you contract COVID, especially now,two years into this COVID response. If the healthcare systems around us are all buckling under the combined strain of COVID-related admissions, non-COVID- related admissions, staffing shortages, etc., why aren't we promoting treatments,vitamins, and supplements, such as Vitamin D and zinc, which are known to be useful for combating all kinds of diseases, including COVID-19? People take doses of these all the time, and their beneficial effects are well established. Other treatments, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine—which have successfully been used to treat human diseases for decades—also appear to have a benefit in treating COVID-19. A couple of months ago, Dr. Berry shot down ivermectin, noting that a paper suggesting positive impacts of ivermectin was based on falsified data and was later retracted. However, despite that paper's retraction, there have been on the order of 40 additional peer-reviewed studies investigating the effects of ivermectin on COVID-19, the vast supermajority of them demonstrating a positive effect. Hydroxychloroquine has a similar efficacy profile. Other preventive actions, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, would be simple to promote as well. So why haven't they been promoted? Waiting to treat people until the disease worsens will put a greater burden on the hospital system, and so I'm curious if Dr. Berry, this Board, the Board of Health, or Public Health will consider putting out messaging about steps one can take if they catch COVID-19, including promoting non-Big Pharma treatments that can be taken by people for whom the COVID shots are contraindicated, can be taken by people who haven't received a shot but are willing to consider medicines with sufficient long-term safety data, and can be taken by people who have received a shot but developed COVID symptoms anyway. 1 Thank you for reading my comment, Sincerely, Kincaid Gould 2 jeffbocc From: WA Wildlife & Recreation Coalition <info@wildliferecreation.org> Sent: Monday,January 24, 2022 12:54 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: A simple way to make a big impact for WA's outdoors all year long.

I disagree, but there's no point in arguing semantics. "Local 20/20" is not a public agency and any meetings they might have had are irrelevant. There's no point in wasting anyone's time reviewing data when the decisions have been made and the contract has been signed.

The changes planned for the recycling program came about after two BoCC workshops and deliberations with the Solid Waste Advisory Board over the course of 11 public meetings, all properly noticed. The analysis shared with SWAC and the BoCC included the results of a Request for Proposals for recycling services and the development of a legislatively mandated Contamination Reduction and Outreach Program which was developed with much input from SWAC and Local 20/20's Beyond Waste group—again, all at properly noticed public meetings. The CROP is attached. These changes have not been put into effect yet as planning continues on the outreach program. That planning is nearing completion with revisions being made presently based on feedback from a review of the draft materials by SWAC at the properly noticed January 20th public meeting. The tentative roll-out of the outreach campaign is March 1, one month prior to the new recycling services contract term. The new service agreement includes the provision of one FTE for on-site materials coaching. Respectfully, I would disagree that this revision is a "major" one. All mixed plastics contribute 3.5%of the total material mix by weight so by excluding perhaps half of the plastic stream we are retaining 98.25%of the materials in our current mix. 1 I would very much like to meet with you to review all of the analysis and data that has gone into this program revision. As I have communicated before, I am happy to speak with you by phone or in person anytime about the solid waste program and will be able to deliver responsive documents upon request if I understand what it is that you wish to know.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Mr. Cairns, Regarding your offline response to my public comment, as relayed online by Mr. McCauley, at today's BoCC meeting: The agenda for the August 4 special meeting of the BoCC did not include any PPT, so there was no advance notice that major changes were in store for the plastic recycling program. There was also no PPT posted for the May 24 meeting at which this subject was discussed. Other than watching the prior meeting, there is no way that the public would have received anything approaching adequate notice of the changes in the plastic recycling policy. If your PPT did, in fact, specifically state that only#1 and #2 plastic would be accepted, so be it. But if you believe that a PPT which was not and is still not accessible to the public from last year is a sufficient explanation for the changes in the recycling program, you are seriously mistaken in that belief. From the consent agenda item today (1/24/2022): Public Notification of Change in Recycling Service County is responsible for notifying citizens of any temporary or permanent change in service. 2 Change in service includes, but is not limited to: adding or removing materials accepted: adding or removing recycle boxes from a site: or closing a site. So where are the "notices to citizens" notifying them of this massive change in materials accepted? Or are we just supposed to go to the transfer station and only then find out that we have failed to correctly sort our plastic?

Flash back to 2012 when President Obama promised Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South Korea that after his re-election he would have more"flexibility" to weaken missile defense and otherwise weaken U.S. resistance to Russian ambitions and aggressions, In March, 2009, Hillary Clinton had presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with that infamous red"reset button" to symbolize improved ties,but the gift drew smiles as the word"reset"was mistranslated into the Russian for"overcharge" Something else was lost in the translation as well,apparently,as Russian,belligerence and intransigence continued. Russian President Vladimir Putin's seizure of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in early 2014 was the direct result of Obama's promised flexibility. The Obama-Biden administration effectively did nothing in response. That didn't jeopardize U.S.national security?As the Washington Examiner reported: Following Russia's annexation of Crimea,Putin escalated support to separatists in eastern Ukraine that resided in areas with a majority of ethnic Russians.Reserve officers in the Russian military,who also had ties to the Russian military intelligence agency known as the GRU,commanded the rebels in attacks. By June 2014,the Ukrainian military said that Russia had massed more than 40,000 troops on Ukraine's border and deployed about 7,000 to 10,000 Russian soldiers inside Ukraine. Again,the Obama-Biden administration did nothing in response, in fact less than nothing as it denied lethal aid Ukraine was begging for. In 2017,Trump announced plans to reverse the policy of the Obama administration,which stood by silently when Putin's Russia annexed Crimea and attacked Ukraine,and sell the Ukrainians lethal defensive weaponry,including anti-tank missiles designed to destroy Putin's Russian tanks in the hands of separatist rebels: President Donald Trump is expected to announce his approval of a plan to sell anti-tank missiles to the Ukrainian government, a move that would mark a significant escalation in lethal U.S. military support for Ukrainian forces battling Russian-aligned forces in the border region,four State Department sources tell ABC News... The sale of anti-tank missiles,which could possibly include the U.S.-made Javelin system,provoked a strong reaction from Russia on Saturday, saying it"crossed the line," and could threaten to derail Trump's calls for better relations with Moscow. This hardly fit the narrative of a Trump administration in thrall to the Kremlin. If anyone had been"colluding with the Russians,"it was the Obama-Biden-Clinton administration. President Trump,unlike President Obama,was well aware that it was Russian President Vladimir Putin's expressed the view that the demise of the Soviet Union was one of the greatest disasters of modern times. His actions in Ukraine in conjunction with massive Russian rearmament showed his desire to reassemble the old Soviet Union: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/10/trump_gave_ukraine_what_obama_withheld.html 1/2 2/3/22, 1:58 PM Trump Gave Ukraine What Obama Withheld In his annual address to parliament in 2005, old KGB boss emeritus Putin made the grotesque claim that the "demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest political catastrophe of the century," demonstrating a nostalgia for what he considers the good old days. Again,President Obama did less than nothing, sending only supplies worthy of a Boy Scout Jamboree rather than a sovereign nation resisting Russian aggression. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in 2015 warned Congress that Russian actions in the Ukraine were the start of a new Cold War and that President Obama's actions were inadequate: On Thursday,Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko gave a 40-minute speech to a rare joint session of Congress alerting lawmakers to the plight of his country under Russia's creeping"Anschluss." Poroshenko once again pled for meaningful aid,including an affiliation with NATO,and warned that a new Iron Curtain may soon descend as Vladimir Putin tries to reassemble the Soviet Union whose demise he has publicly mourned... In March,Ukraine asked for arms and ammunition, intelligence support, aviation fuel and night vision goggles. The Pentagon agreed only to provide the Ukrainians with supplies of U.S.military rations known as Meals Ready To Eat, or MREs. This time Ukraine did not get much more than that--just some peripheral gear such as night-vision goggles and helmets. But once again it received no lethal aid that Poroshenko's country desperately needs, such as requested anti- tank weaponry. Poroshenko asked for things like anti-tank weaponry and in a bit of perhaps unintended sarcasm during an emotional speech to Congress,Poroshenko said that"blankets,night-vision goggles are also important"but that "one cannot win the war with blankets." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said it is grounds for impeachment that Trump jeopardized U.S. national security interests in Ukraine buy has some serious questions to answer.As Randy DeSoto writes The Western Journal: Concerning the aid itself,if Pelosi truly believes the president somehow threatened the United States' national security and failed in his duties as commander in chief by the less-than-two-month delay,how much more did Obama do so by refusing to offer Ukraine any lethal military aid at all after Russia invaded Crimea in 2014? I don't recall Pelosi accusing Obama of undermining our nation's security,his oath of office and the Constitution then. Trump reversed the Obama administration's policy during his first year in office, allowing lethal weapons including Javelin anti-tank missiles to be sent to Ukraine. "Col.Andrii Ordynovych,Ukraine's military attache in Washington, said that when Ukraine's military began using U.S.-provided Javelin anti-tank weapons,Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers that once operated with devastating impunity had backed off,"Defense News reported. The question of who was willing to jeopardize U.S. national security interests in the Ukraine and for what is now open for discussion.

Starting this year the PTC, in partnership with Peninsula Adventure Sports, will take on the responsibility for planning, organizing, and holding the Tour de Lavender. In the past the Tour de Lavender has been a major Sponsor of the Peninsula Trails Coalition. This event will now become one of the largest fundraisers for the PTC. This brings an invaluable addition of resources and expertise that will sustain and further the remarkable growth of the TdL over the past nine years and of Dan Abbott's original vision of a unique, world-class cycling event right here on the Olympic Peninsula. The PTC will be partnering with Lorrie Mittmann and Tim Tucker (Peninsula Adventure Sports), who will be stepping in as Event Directors. We believe it is eminently fitting and exciting that the PTC and Peninsula Adventure Sports will usher in the second decade of the Tour de Lavender and celebrate the 10th(!) anniversary of an event that has brought cyclists from across the U.S. and around the world to experience the beauty of where we live, and to keep coming back year after year. Tour de Lavender Website imytton- Introducing Linda Hanlon Linda has been working with the PTC for just over a year as our Development Director. Linda moved to Port Townsend four years ago from Seattle where she resided since 1990. You may remember her from this past fall's Trail Blaze Bash fundraiser. Her professional experience is a combination of environmental communications, advertising design, and nonprofit community organizing. Her hobbies include traveling, biking, sea kayaking, hiking/backpacking, and photography. 2 Linda Hanlon has led bicycle tours in Ohio, Michigan, and Virginia. She also organized and led a 4,400-mile Seattle to Washington DC bike tour for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in 1987.The tour included advocacy with trail development groups coast to coast, newspaper, radio, and tv interviews that highlighted their trip and that featured local rail-trails, and after the ride she gave a multi-media slideshow of the trip at RTC's first national conference in Chicago. She is thrilled to be working with others for the Olympic Discovery Trail which also helps complete the 3,700-mile Great American Rail-Trail.This role does indeed bring her career full circle and back to a focus on multi-use trails and their communities.

From: director@forkswa.com Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 3:59:18 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Kate Dean Subject: Please join us to hear about the American Elm Heritage Project! ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Kate Dean , Please join us tomorrow, Wednesday,January 26th when we welcome Cynthia Bork of the American Elm Heritage Project Planning Committee. From their brochure: THE AMERICAN ELM HERITAGE PROJECT FORKS The planting of commemorative trees is a time-honored tradition, but a huge milestone like the 250th anniversary deserves more than just one tree. The Michael Trebert Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution can take the lead and help communities of the Olympic Peninsula to not only restore a species, the American elm, but leave a legacy in the process. Restoring elm shaded streets (just as they were some years ago) is a great way to mark the anniversary and a civic improvement project everybody can get behind. The American Elm Heritage Project celebrates the upcoming 250th year of our Nation's independence by planting Dutch elm disease-resistant American elm trees on Arbor Day, April 29, 2022 at three sites on the Olympic Peninsula in the communities of Port Angeles, Sequim and Forks, Wash. Each site will be planted with bare-root tree seedlings or saplings along with an interpretive sign that describes the significance of the Revolution and the biological importance of reestablishing American elms across the nation. As the trees grow, they provide excellent shade, shelter from wind and nesting habitat... and be a potential seed source for establishing the elm in other parts of the United States The American elm trees to be planted in Forks, Washington are clones of"Herbie," Yarmouth, Maine's famous elm tree that made international headlines when he was cut down. Planted in the 1770s, Herbie, at 110 feet in height, towered over the town of Yarmouth. His trunk measured over 20 feet in circumference. It took five people to hug him. Named by children who walked beneath his boughs on the way to school, Herbie could be seen rising above the tree line from miles away. For two centuries, he survived hurricanes and repeated infections of Dutch elm disease, the deadly fungus that wiped 1 out over a million of America's favorite shade trees in the 1930s. Finally, weakened with storm damage, the 200+year old Herbie became a liability and in 2010 was taken down. Local historians,foresters and other Project partners will present educational programs and workshops throughout the year. The programs will blend the history of American Independence and American elm restoration. Participants will learn how to plant and care for trees and take part in the commemoration ceremonies on Arbor Day, April 29, 2022. �' 12 o ?= AlICHAR,TR€RErTCHAPTER )' DAtInFiTEK.4FF TFfE AMEW:.ANREVgCKFT1EaN deco v R a erlcan Elm eritai Jed »rates; g,: Otlt ?£arr d+epende planting t e ve , r swAtne canelni trees iiiit •ri l 29'2022 in Forks, dI sre as War a in ' 0",'"*07:,Ad4 - A$111",.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Good morning. I wanted to share with you Congressman Kilmer's press release. Please note Rep. Kilmer states that he will be pushing to get funding for his congressional districts and specifically mentions the US 101 bridge over Big Quilcene River in Jefferson County. Look forward to discussing this at our next monthly sync which is next Wednesday, February 2"d Thank you. Rebuilding Our Bridges Across our region, bridges essential to our everyday lives and to our economy have reached dire conditions. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there are over 415 bridges in Washington alone that are currently considered to be in "poor" condition. That's alarming — not only from the standpoint of public safety, but also for what it means for our local economies. That's why I helped pass the bipartisan infrastructure law—which will make a historic investment in repairing and replacing bridges in our neck of the woods. Last week, I announced that over$120 million will be invested in our state to help fix bridges in 2022 alone— part of a $605 million investment that will be made over the next five years! Already, the Washington State Department of Transportation has identified a number of prime bridge candidates for federal investment. Though these funding decisions will ultimately be made by the state legislature— I'll be pushing to get funding for our region to help fix a number of bridges—like the US 101 bridge over the Sol Duc River in Clallam County, the US 101 bridge over the Humptulips River in Grays Harbor County, the US 101 bridge over Big Quilcene River in Jefferson County, the Port Washington bridge on SR 303 in Kitsap County, and the US 101 bridge over the Skokomish River in Mason County—just to name a few!! Ultimately, this investment will help our state repair or replace the local bridges that are critical for getting to school and work, moving commerce, and connecting communities—while creating good-paying jobs. It's a big deal!

WEBSITE BIOGRAPHY SERVICES MEDIA CENTER ISSUES CONTACT January 24, 2022 Hello, Folks— I hope this finds you and yours doing well. Last week marked the one-year anniversary of President Biden's inauguration—and it's been a busy year. As we think about all that has happened in 2021 - I think it's worth remembering how far our country has come. Just one year ago, the headlines were rather dire. As 2021 opened, there were articles about food banks facing record demand and about the American people facing record housing instability. Far too many of our local employers were still on their heels. Most of our kids were still in virtual school. And we had not seen the widespread rollout of vaccines. That's why early in 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan—a critical emergency legislative package to help folks get vaccinated, enable kids to get back to school safely, support our local businesses, and provide immediate and direct relief to folks to help them keep a roof over their heads, feed their families, and pay their bills. While there's still more to do, the American Rescue Plan provided a huge boost for our economy. Since it passed, we've seen over 6 million jobs created, 210 million Americans are vaccinated, and unemployment claims are the lowest since 1969! 2021 was also the year that Congress finally passed bipartisan infrastructure legislation. The new infrastructure law is the largest long-term investment in America's infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century. It's about putting people to work now—and laying the foundation for economic growth over the long haul. More on that below! 2 ONE YEAR iy, ano, ' "� t 210,000,000 AMERICANS FULLY VA CINATED 96% OrSCHOOL.sOPEN 6r , JOBS CREATED H NS,00 ,000AS 3.9°o e pL y E T0ELTH U We took an in-depth look at some of the other big issues Congress tackled in late December—and you can read that newsletter here— but there's still a lot of work to do in the coming weeks and months to get our economy and our government working better for folks. Stay tuned! Securing Infrastructure Investments in Our Region Over the past few weeks, we've seen the federal government start to get moving on its disbursement of new federal funding for the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs bill (aka the bipartisan infrastructure law). While this bill was signed into law by President Biden this past November, it's already having a big impact in our region! Rebuilding Our Bridges Across our region, bridges essential to our everyday lives and to our economy have reached dire conditions. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there are over 415 bridges in Washington alone that are currently considered to be in "poor" condition.

Protecting Coastal Communities The impacts of climate change—including sea level rise and flooding—have put communities at risk and disrupted local economies in our region. In fact, we've even seen substantial flooding in our region just recently. That's why I was proud to announce that I helped secure over$18 million of federal investment for three Army Corps of Engineers infrastructure projects in Grays Harbor and Clallam Counties through the new bipartisan infrastructure law. This new funding will restore the North Jetty in Ocean Shores to help ensure a safe, reliable entrance to the federal Grays Harbor navigation channel and reduce current wave impacts to the City of Ocean Shores (and the city's wastewater treatment plant). It will also restore the sea dike near the Quillayute River by replacing missing rock to return the failed sea dike to design dimensions in order to help reduce waves from sweeping across the channel, and provide safer navigation to the US Coast Guard, Quileute Tribe, and the public. Additionally, the funding will repair the damaged revetment at Ediz Hook to help protect the city of Port Angeles, US Coast Guard base, and a number of local employers located on the hook. All of these projects getting new funding means real progress for protecting coastal communities in our region and keeping folks safe. Again—it's big news!! 4 hill- iill r i.ii lu " r ili'ea m� lu �IC - '� � h 11', ",,Ii' 1:. ., -",44'...:'''',111,- _1:7:: -:0:4400-- ,. '"-, ' Iil 1, _*1 n$ u 0 M rm�ui r �r� i ill mom•.. ...,,. Having the Backs of Our Veterans If you serve this country, the federal government ought to have your back. In recent weeks, I've been leading the charge to ensure our veterans get the support they need. First, I introduced the Planning for Aging Veterans Act with my colleague from eastern Washington, Cathy McMorris Rogers. This legislation is designed to help ensure that as our servicemembers retire and get older, they have the critical care that they have earned and deserve—and can live ag life with dignity. Among other things, the legislation will pave the way for future investments in long- term care, improve the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) relationship with State veterans' homes, and enhance the care veterans residing in state-run veterans' homes receive. Second, I introduced the Tiny Homes for Homeless Veterans Act otf 2021, bipartisan legislation to create new housing for veterans experiencing homeless. Every veteran should have a home, and it shouldn't be under a freeway overpass. That's why this new bipartisan legislation would create a pilot program within the VA to provide grants for recipients to build villages of individualized tiny transitional homes for our nation's veterans who are experiencing homelessness. The villages would also include wrap-around supportive services for the veterans and their families to ensure that veterans have the support they need. I'm proud that this legislation earned the support of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, AMVETS, the American Legion, the Fleet Reserve Association—and great organizations in our region that are already collaborating on building transitional homes like these for veterans, including Pennies for Quarters and the Composite Recycling Technology Center in Clallam County. 5 toil—v "'4 '; — It iWut "e. e . ` k i it �I �lu,,: li � � ii ", i .,� j L I IL i a ry x ,r 10 t 4.7 , ,,,,444 , i.,04:44 In addition to introducing these bills, Congress has passed a few big bills this month to have the backs of our veterans, including the Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act and the Ensuring Veterans'Smooth Transition Act(EVEST). We know that the National Guard and Reserve have been utilized at unprecedented levels over the past two years to respond to crises around the country. However, these servicemembers do not accrue the same GI Bill benefits as their active duty counterparts, even when they take on the same jobs with the same risks. That's why Congress passed the Guard and Reserve GI Bill Parity Act, bipartisan legislation that rectifies that disparity by ensuring that every day spent in uniform— including training days—counts toward vital GI Bill benefits. We also know that too many of our servicemembers don't get the care they have earned and deserve—and one of the most glaring gaps in accessing high quality care available through the VA is the health care enrollment process. That's why Congress passed the EVEST Act with bipartisan support—ensuring that eligible servicemembers are automatically enrolled in health care during their transition out of the military. This will simplify the transition process for veterans and ensure they get the care they need. These are some great steps in the right direction. There's more to do to have the backs of our veterans... Stay tuned for news on a bill I'm planning to introduce shortly to strengthen retirement benefits for Guard and Reserve members. We'll keep at it! Working for You Meeting with Local Workers It was great to meet with team at Lowe's in Silverdale! I spoke with employees from across the region about how business is going - and how recent federal investments in our infrastructure and action to help supply chains will improve efficiency and keep shelves fully stocked.

Communities are now required to plan for and accommodate housing affordable to all income levels, where they were previously directed to simply "encourage" it. To support local planning efforts, projections of housing need by income band and needs for special housing, such as shelters and transitional housing, will be provided by Commerce. Beginning with state population projections, the county- wide housing needs projections will be developed using an advisory committee, focus groups and public input on drafts. Once Commerce provides the projections, communities must use them to assess zoning and regulations for capacity to allow, encourage and incentivize housing that can meet the projected needs. Additionally, communities will be required to review policies and regulations to identify those that result in racially disparate impacts, displacement and exclusion in housing. Finally, communities must identify ways to begin to address and undo those identified impacts. Work is starting now to provide these housing numbers and guidance for communities to complete this work. i Visit the project webpaqe A new webpaqe provides more details, including a project as schedule.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Grandpa Joe Was Never a Nice Guy — Now He's Exceedingly Dangerous Monica Crowley Jan 26,2022 For 50 years, Joe Biden cultivated an illusory image of being a kindly — if dimwitted — uncle: someone whose terrible politics and inappropriate malapropisms were tolerated because he said he meant well. What a farce. Uncle Joe — now firmly in grandfather territory — was never that guy. Long a fantasist who recounts fake stories years after they've been debunked, Biden was always a hit-and-run liar. He was also always a hack and a jerk, with an anger that betrays the arrogance Jg y of a corrupt elite. This week, he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch" for asking a straightforward question about rising prices. He later "cleared the air," but if we had a dime for every time Biden acted viciously, we could afford his skyrocketing inflation. Biden has had a long history of snapping at anyone who even mildly challenges him — and always with the same modus operandi. By spitting disgust at his questioners — raising his voice, snarling his face, shaking his head and his finger, turning his back, walking away — he often humiliated them into cowed silence, allowing him to cruise past accountability. For a guy who promised a return to "civility" and "decency," Biden's true colors have become even more apparent. His maniacal outbursts and erratic conduct — yelling one moment, creepily whispering the next, for example — are more glaring, frequent and disturbing. Before Biden insulted Doocy, he berated a different reporter for posing a question about Ukraine. Last July, he called an NBC reporter a "pain in the neck" and complained that her i question wasn't part of the announced agenda. The month before, he lashed out at a CNN reporter at a press availability, wagging his finger and yelling, "What the hell?! What do you do all the time?" When she tried to follow up, he shot back, "If you don't understand that, you're in the wrong business." In 2020, when a reporter asked if he had taken a cognitive test, Biden snapped, "That's like saying to you, before you got on this program if you had taken a test were you taking cocaine or not. What do you think, huh? Are you a junkie?" Last year, he avoided a question from NBC's Savannah Guthrie by barking, "You're saying things that you don't know what you're talking about! No one said that! Who said that?!" To others, he's yelled, "Ask the right questions" and "What a stupid question," before turning on his heel. It's one thing to go off witlessly on members of the press. It's another to attack potential voters who ask perfectly legitimate questions. In 2020, he called one voter "fat," another "a damned liar," and told another he was "full of s-t." One young woman was on the receiving end of this nonsensical slap: "You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier!" Earlier in his career, when asked what law school he'd attended, Biden blew up. "Who cares?" he spat. "I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect." For decades, Biden got away with this absurd faux tough-guy act. Everyone laughed it off, excusing his lies and meanness as "gaffes." But he never should have gotten a pass because that irrational anger, innate nastiness and ruling-class pomposity are now in the Oval Office — and getting worse with his advancing age. The presidency is the most high-pressure job in the world. All presidents have shown anger and spitefulness, but not all presidents are 79 years old. Grandpa Joe was never a nice guy, and now he's exceedingly dangerous. 2 C3 tAQ "...the centre cannot hold". 3 jeffbocc From: Fred Hutch News Service <communications@fredhutch.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 4:26 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: 7 ways to science your life for the coming year ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

That's why Fred Hutch's public health researchers are advising people to resist the New Year's resolution reflex to start a crash diet or extreme workout routine (science tells us radical changes don't usually stick). Instead, they want people to be patient with themselves and be realistic about their new year's revamp. i Good health is a long game. It's also complicated, especially if you're trying to ward off serious ailments like cancer or diabetes or heart disease. Obesity, smoking and overuse of alcohol can all contribute to disease risk, but often in conjunction with other factors and forces — genetic, environmental, socioeconomic and more. Exercising and eating leafy greens every day won't guarantee you a disease-free life (sometimes, we're just dealt a bad hand). But doing these things will still help you stay healthier, even if you are diagnosed with a serious disease. Contemplating some changes in 2022? Here are seven science tips for a longer life.

Brief Description: Concerning legislative oversight of gubernatorial powers concerning emergency proclamations and unanticipated receipts. Sponsors: Senators Randall, Van De Wege, Carlyle, Conway, Hunt, Mullet, Rolfes and Stanford. Brief History: Committee Activity: State Government& Elections: 1/28/22. Brief Summary of Bill • Authorizes the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and the speaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives to terminate a state of emergency if the Legislature is not in session and it has been more than 90 days since the Governor declared the state of emergency. • Authorizes the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and the speaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives to terminate a gubernatorial order prohibiting activities if the Legislature is not in session. • Makes permanent the Joint Legislative Unanticipated Revenue Oversight Committee. SENATE COMMITTEE ON STATE GOVERNMENT & ELECTIONS Staff: Melissa Van Gorkom (786-7491) Background: State of Emergency. A state of emergency is proclaimed by the Governor This analysis was prepared by non partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative members in their deliberations. This analysis is not part of the legislation nor does it constitute a statement of legislative intent. Senate Bill Report - 1 - SB 5909 after finding that a public disorder, disaster, energy emergency, or riot exists within the state or any part thereof which affects life, health, property, or the public peace. The Governor may proclaim a state of emergency in the area affected. The state of emergency is effective upon the Governor's signature and remains in effect until the Governor declares its termination. The Governor must terminate a state of emergency when order has been restored in the area effected. Powers of the Governor. An emergency proclamation enables the Governor to issue orders prohibit specific activities during the state of emergency, such as public gatherings, transfer of combustible materials, and the use of public streets at any time. In a state of emergency, the Governor may also issue an order to prohibit other activities the Governor reasonably believes is necessary to help preserve and maintain life, health, property, or the public peace. The Governor may impose the restrictions for such times, upon such conditions, with such exceptions and in such areas of the state deemed necessary. During a state of emergency the Governor also has authority to waive or suspend statutory obligations or limitations for certain executive functions if strict compliance with the provision of any statute, order, rule, or regulation would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay necessary action in coping with the emergency, unless: • authority is expressly granted to another statewide elected official; or • the waiver or exemption would conflict with federal requirements that are a prescribed condition to the allocations of federal funds to the state, or first amendment rights of freedom of speech and of the people to peaceably assemble. A waiver or suspension of statutory obligations or limitations issued by the Governor is limited to 30 days unless the Legislature extends it by concurrent resolution, or in writing by the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and the speaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives if the Legislature is not in session. Joint Legislative Unanticipated Revenue Oversight Committee. During the 2021-2023 fiscal biennium, the Legislature created the Joint Legislative Unanticipated Revenue Oversight Committee (committee) of 16 members to review requests for proposed allotment amendments to spend unanticipated and unbudgeted moneys from federal and nonstate sources. Process. Whenever any money in the amount of $5,000,000 or more which was not anticipated in any budget approved by the Legislature has been awarded or has actually been received when the Legislature is not in session, and the use of the money is unrestricted or provides discretion to use the moneys for more than one agency, program, or purpose, the Governor must submit a copy of the proposed allotment amendment to the committee with an explanation of the timing, source, and availability of such funds and why the need for the expenditure could not have been anticipated in time for such expenditure to have been approved as part of a budget act for that particular fiscal year. Senate Bill Report -2 - SB 5909 lk The committee must meet as necessary to review requests from the Governor and provide comment within 14 calendar days. If the committee holds a public hearing on a proposed allotment they must provide the Office of Financial Management (OFM) five calendar days' notice. OFM must appear before the committee to present the proposed allotment amendment and respond to questions. The committee may also require other agencies to appear before the committee. Actions of the committee are limited to the review and comment on requests received by the Governor and must be made by a majority vote of members. Committee actions may take the form of a recommendation approving, rejecting, or proposing an alternative allotment amendment for the Governor's consideration prior to approval. The committees actions are not binding on the Governor. Membership. The committee includes the following members: • the majority and minority leaders of the Senate; • the speaker and the minority leader of the House of Representatives; • six additional members of the Senate with three members from each of the two largest caucuses of the Senate appointed by their respective leaders; and • six additional members of the House of Representatives with three members from each of the two largest caucuses of the House of Representatives appointed by their respective leaders. The cochairs of the committee are the leaders of the two largest caucuses of the Senate in even-numbered years and the leaders of the two largest caucuses of the House of Representatives in odd-numbered years. Staff support for the committee is provided by Senate Committee Services and the House of Representatives Office of Program Research. Committee members serve without additional compensation but must be reimbursed for travel expenses. The expenses are paid jointly by the Senate and the House of Representatives, subject to approval. Summary of Bill: State of Emergency. If the Legislature is not in session the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and the speaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives may terminate a state of emergency in writing—by all four members—if it has been more than 90 days since the Governor declared the state of emergency. Powers of the Governor. If the Legislature is not in session the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and the speaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives may terminate in writing—by all four members—an order or orders issued by the Governor to prohibit activities.

Click Here NATIONAL NAdie-1 ASSOCIATION ??COUNTIES ffi - " T p yLL E p U.S. Treasury Releases New Information on Upcoming ARPA Project & Expenditure Report 1 The U.S. Treasury Department released important clarifications on how to report revenue replacement and other expenditures in the Project and Expenditure Report for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. 1. Option to defer choice of claiming $10 million standard revenue loss allowance If a county has not decided whether or not to receive the standard allowance, Treasury will not commit the county to the reported choice in the January 31 report. • Decisions made in the reporting on the standard allowance as part of the January 31 Project and Expenditure Report may be changed in the April 2022 Project and Expenditure Report when the Final Rule takes effect. More guidance on this will be released as that reporting period approaches. • If a county has nothing to report in the Revenue Replacement section and does not want to make any choice, the county may enter zero in the required fields and use the description box to explain that it has not yet allocated funds under revenue loss and will update the response in future reporting cycles. Treasury may choose to follow up in these cases for further details. 2. What to do if a county has no projects to report on the January 31 Project and Expenditure Report If your county has not yet identified any projects to report, please know that maintaining a project list is a core requirement of the Recovery Fund program. For the Project and Expenditure Report due January 31, 2022, Treasury will be offering an option to select "No Projects to Report" at this time. Selecting this option will require providing a written explanation and may result in additional compliance follow-up from Treasury. Please see the user guide for additional guidance. Information will also be provided in the Project Overview module of the Project and Expenditure Report. If you have questions or need additional information, please email SLFRP@treasury.gov. 3. Additional resources and helpful information from Treasury 2 If you are unable to log in to Treasury's State, Local, and Tribal Support portal after establishing your accounts or need assistance, please email covidreliefitsupport@treasury.gov for assistance. Treasury has posted a series of recorded webinars to assist recipients to understand and comply with relevant reporting requirements and assist recipients in accessing Treasury's portal: • Project and Expenditure Report • Reporting Tiers • Account Creation and Login • User Roles • Bulk Uploads As a reminder, the following counties are required to submit a Project and Expenditure Report to the Treasury by January 31, 2022: • Counties with populations that exceed 250,000 residents (referred to as Tier 1 recipients by Treasury) • Counties with populations below 250,000 residents and received more than $10 million in Recovery Funds (referred to as Tier 2 recipients by Treasury) The Project and Expenditure Report will cover the period between March 3 and December 31, 2021, and requires the reporting of project, obligations and expenditure data, subaward data, as well as certain required programmatic data.

Photo by Wendy Feltham. Taking Wing Program Lifts Off A recent study showed that nearly every bird species living in Washington's forests and coastal areas is in decline, with particularly troubling declines in forest birds. Forest bird populations rely on a variety of coarse woody debris for shelter and sustenance including downed logs, standing dead trees, known as "snags," and the large and/or old trees that provide perching and nesting sites. During assessments in 2018-19, we discovered that many of our forested preserves lacked these key features. Without human intervention, such snags, perches, and coarse woody debris can take hundreds of years to develop naturally. 2 ; V e That's why, in 2020, we created fb the Taking Wing program, which takes critical stewardship actions on our permanently protected Land Trust forestlands to serve4 r14 � birds and other wildlife and ' u,p, rs position them for long-term • success. The Taking Wing program is centered around four important projects: creating downed logs and downed log surrogates, creating standing snags, installing nest boxes, and creating hawk perches. Thanks to grants from the Burning Foundation, and funding from the Horizons Foundation, Jeffris Wood Fund, the Tulalip Tribes Charitable Contributions Fund, individual donors, and with the critical help of dedicated volunteers, we began to pilot some of these projects last year at Duckabush Riparian Forest Preserve, Snow Creek Forest Preserve, Chai-vahk-wh Preserve, and the Quimper Wildlife Corridor, and have big plans for 2022.

Box 47440—Olympia, WA 98504-7440— 360-357-2600 For immediate release Jan. 28, 2022 Contact Dan McKernan, Project Engineer, 360-565-0623 Tina Werner, Media Relations, 360-704-3270 Emergency contract to reopen SR 112 near Clallam Bay kicks off Jan. 31 Travelers will continue to detour via Eagle Crest Way around the slide until complete 1 CLALLAM BAY—After weeks of recurring storms, safety considerations, design work and permitting, there is good news for Olympic Peninsula travelers between Neah Bay and Sappho. Beginning Monday, Jan. 31, Washington State Department of Transportation's emergency contractor, Scarsella Brothers will begin site preparations to reopen State Route 112 at milepost 15.8 near Clallam Bay. Through a $1.3 million emergency contract, crews will remove 40,000 cubic yards of debris from the road, rebuild a portion of the highway, stabilize the adjacent slope, conduct drainage and guardrail repairs, erosion control and hillside seeding. The highway will remain closed during construction. A landslide closed the site on Monday, Nov. 15, 2021. Travelers will continue to follow a temporary bypass route around the slide via Eagle Crest Way until repairs are complete. The route was established on Dec. 3, 2021, to keep people and resources moving to nearby communities affected by the closure. Eagle Crest Way is a privately-owned road. WSDOT was able to successfully obtain temporary permits from property owners to keep traffic moving. People should travel slowly on the gravel road, as lane widths are narrow with limited sight distance. Background: The Nov. 15 storm that hit western Washington had a significant effect on the Olympic Peninsula, closing US 101 and State Routes 112, 113 and 110 in multiple locations. While WSDOT maintenance crews from nearby areas worked around-the-clock to reopen dozens of sites, locations like the Clallam Bay slide require extensive design and hydraulic work, including permits to begin construction off state right of way to stabilize the slope and further movement. "We know how important this route is to the Neah Bay and Clallam Bay communities, including the Clallam Bay Correctional Facility," said WSDOT Project Engineer Dan McKernan. "We are eager to get to work to reopen SR 112 at Clallam Bay in approximately 8 weeks." History of slide activity WSDOT engineering geologists have documented significant slide activity every 10 to 20 years, beginning in 1954. The topographical and geological challenges along SR 112 require a calculated approach to address ongoing drainage, stability, and debris concerns. WSDOT is pursuing a long-term fix to address these concerns and reopen the highway. 2 Olympic Peninsula travelers are encouraged to sign up for email updates. Real-time traffic information is available on the WSDOT app and WSDOT regional Twitter account.

We are looking beyond our borders for Innovation Cluster economic models that will strengthen our legacy industries, help communities create new ACCELERATOR sectors, fuel innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensure meaningful job opportunities for generations to come. One of the most promising models is the innovation cluster accelerator. This industry-led strategy has evolved over the last 20 years, spurring more than 7,000 innovation clusters in places such as Norway, Denmark, Costa Rica and Canada. This model is a shift from most traditional economic development efforts. It brings key players together— business, entrepreneurs, academia, investors and government — to solve industry challenges that may be limiting growth and innovation. Over time, these member-based organizations become self-sustaining, supported by a combination of public and private funding. They evolve into magnets that attract capital, talent, companies and market opportunities for the entire industry. They also help leaders align efforts in workforce development and STEM education. We piloted this approach in 2017 with an initiative called Washington Maritime Blue. In its first four years, Maritime Blue is already driving investments in de- carbonization and other maritime initiatives, jumpstarting new companies and developing a maritime workforce that is more diverse and inclusive. To date, 21 startups have participated in their accelerator, raising more than $80 million in funding and creating more than 300 good paying jobs. Their Youth Maritime Collaborative focuses on introducing youth from communities of color to maritime career paths. We've seen innovation clusters succeed abroad, and now we're seeing them succeed here at home. We're ready to embrace this strategy and ensure the benefits of our economic growth are experienced in all regions and by people who have historically been left out. Our newly-launched Innovation Cluster Accelerator is among the first in the nation. These clusters don't just create new businesses, they can spur solutions to social problems and climate challenges. 2 Our first accelerator cohort includes five innovation clusters around the state. We will add four more in 2022. • Enterprise Digital Growth Ecosystem (EDGE) Cluster, led by the 5G Open Innovation Lab — using edge computing and 5G to digitally transform agriculture, energy and utilities, healthcare, manufacturing and transportation and logistics. • Advanced Technology Cluster, led by the Washington Technology Industry Association — using quantum computing and distributed ledger technologies (blockchain) to grow advanced technologies and maintain Washington's technology leadership. • Consortium for Hydrogen and Renewable Generated E-Fuels (CHARGE), led by WSU's Joint Center for Deployment and Research in Earth and Abundant Materials (JCDREAM) — exploring the use of hydrogen to decarbonize heavy-duty transport, aviation and shipping and reduce reliance on non-renewable fuel sources. • Decarbonizing the Built Environment Cluster, led by The Clean Tech Alliance — advancing the development and adoption of clean technologies to decarbonize elements of the built environment including human-made structures, features such as energy and transportation, and facilities where people live and work. • Washington VERTical, led by the Port of Benton — accelerating the transition to clean, renewable and non-emitting energy production sources by 2025 through advanced nuclear power technologies. Similar to Maritime Blue, the Department of Commerce is supporting the development and growth of these clusters through seed funding, strategic guidance, leadership development, connections with state and global cluster leaders and partners, and international marketing support. The Innovation Cluster Accelerator leverages mutually beneficial partnerships with Finland and Norway, focusing on maritime, clean tech and 5G. It builds on our state's history of partnerships with France, the United Kingdom, Asia, India, Japan and Spain on industries such as aerospace, information and communication technology, and clean tech. Innovation cluster accelerators have the potential to bring transformative economic opportunities to communities across Washington, and we're committed to doing it in a way that promotes equity and inclusion. We want to help smaller businesses access capital, find new markets and customers, and develop a skilled workforce. Washington's legendary businesses have redefined how we travel, dine, shop, relax and communicate. The Innovation Cluster Accelerator builds on this legacy. Our economic future is well-served by this long-term strategy to harness the power of collaboration and reinforce Washington's leadership in the global economy. 3 This commentary, co-authored with Christian Rangen, a Norwegian expert on global innovation clusters, appeared in the Tn-Cities Journal of Business. The Port of Benton County leads Washington VERTical, one of the first innovation clusters in the new program. Read about all five clusters LEARN MORE.

State of WA WASC and our three co-plaintiff counties filed in King County Superior Court on December 11, 2019, challenging that SB 5472 (Ballot Drop Box Bill) was a violation of RCW 43.135.060, Prohibition of new or expanded programs without full reimbursement. October 14, 2020, King County Superior Court Judge Nelson Lee ruled in a Partial Summary Judgment, that SB 5472's requirement to significantly increase the number of ballot drop boxes statewide at an estimated capital cost of over one million dollars plus yearly operating and maintenance costs, "was an unfunded mandate pursuant to RCW 43.135.060."

Representative Laurie Dolan is the sponsor of the WACO priority bill HB 1629, which seeks to study and identify a statewide solution for cost-effectively providing higher resolution ortho and oblique aerial imagery services to state and local government. Aerial Imagery - high resolution photography taken from an airplane - is an indispensable tool for topographical mapping and interpretation of places, objects and features. State and local governments increasingly rely on it to conduct their business. Misconceptions exist about aerial imagery and few have had an opportunity to see it in action. We'd like to provide that opportunity. The Washington Association of County Officials (WACO) is hosting an event with Representative Laurie Dolan — a demonstration of 3-D aerial imaging from one of the vendors of this technology, Eagle View Vision* on Wednesday, February 2nd from 11:00 am until 12:30 pm via Zoom Webinar.

For your reference, I have attached a fact sheet on the Public Assistance program. If you have any questions, please contact FEMA's Office of External Affairs, Intergovernmental Affairs Division at (202) 646-3444. Sincerely, Intergovernmental Affairs I Office of External Affairs Federal Emergency Management Agency fema.gov cs)£. eilr �t-Ixu 51 3 .or,, law 9,, Fact Sheet Public Assistance Overview Public Assistance (PA) is FEMA's largest grant program providing funds to assist communities responding to and recovering from major disasters or emergencies declared by the President. The program provides funding for emergency assistance to save lives and protect property, and assists with funding for permanently restoring community infrastructure affected by a federally declared incident. Eligible Applicants Eligible applicants include states, federally recognized tribal governments (including Alaska Native villages and organizations so long as they are not privately owned),U.S. territories, local governments, and certain private non-profit(PNP) organizations. PNPs must have"an effective ruling letter from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, granting tax exemption under sections 501(c), (d), or(e)of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or satisfactory evidence from the State that the nonrevenue producing organization or entity is a nonprofit one organized or doing business under State law."' Additionally, for a PNP operated facility to be eligible,the PNP must demonstrate the facility provides a critical service or provides a non-critical,but essential government service and is open to the general public. A facility that provides a critical service is defined as one used for an educational,utility, emergency, or medical purpose.' Project Categories FEMA processes PA grant funding according to the type of work the applicant undertakes. Eligible work must be required as a result of the declared incident,be located in the designated area,be the legal responsibility of the applicant, and be undertaken at a reasonable cost. Eligible work is classified into the following categories: Emergency Work Category A: Debris removal Category B: Emergency protective measures Permanent Work Category C: Roads and bridges Category D: Water control facilities Category E: Public buildings and contents Category F: Public utilities Category G: Parks, recreational, and other facilities Federal funding guidelines for each of these categories are listed in the Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide, which is located online at fema.gov/public-assistance-policy-and-guidance. Application Process After a federal declaration, the recipient(i.e. state,tribe, or territory) conducts Applicant Briefings to inform potential applicants (i.e. state, local, tribal, territorial, and PNP officials) of the assistance available and how to apply. Applicants must then file a Request for Public Assistance within 30 days of the date their respective area is designated by the federal declaration. Following the approved request, FEMA and the applicants will conduct additional meetings to discuss disaster damage and project formulation. Applicants must identify and report damages to FEMA within the 60-day regulatory timeframe. FEMA, the recipient, or the applicant will then prepare project worksheets for eligible work and eligible facilities based on actual or estimated project costs. October 2021 Grant Administration The federal share of assistance will not be less than 75 percent of the eligible cost for emergency measures and permanent restoration. The recipient determines how the non-federal share of 25 percent will be dispersed to its applicants. Recipients are responsible for managing the funds obligated to them by FEMA, including disbursement to applicants. FEMA will continue to monitor the recovery progress to ensure the timely delivery of eligible assistance, and compliance with federal laws and regulations. Large Projects Projects above a certain amount are considered"large."The threshold corresponds to the annually adjusted small project maximum. Alternative Procedures (428): For large permanent work projects using Section 428 PA Alternative Procedures, funding is made on the basis of a fixed-cost estimate agreed upon by the applicant,recipient and FEMA. PA funding is based on the estimated amount to restore the damaged facility to its pre-disaster design and function, including applicable and federally required codes and standards, and any identified eligible hazard mitigation measures. Once agreement on the fixed amount is made,the funding will not be adjusted. Applicants have the flexibility to use the funding to meet the post-disaster recovery needs, and not just build back what they had before. The applicant may also retain any excess funds for use on certain eligible activities. Standard Procedures (406): For large permanent work projects using the standard Section 406 process, funding is provided on the basis of actual costs as determined after the project is completed. The applicant's flexibility in use of the funding is limited, and they do not have the ability to retain excess funds. Small Projects Projects falling below a certain threshold are considered"small." The threshold is adjusted annually for inflation. For Fiscal Year 2022,that threshold is $139,800. For small projects, final funding is based on the estimate at the time of project approval and certification of project completion is required when the project is done. The minimum amount that can be approved for any Project Worksheet under the PA Program for FY 2022 is $3,500. "FEMA's mission is helping people before, during, and after disasters.

Much of the food waste is viable and safe food that people or animals could consume. Unfortunately, decomposing food waste in landfills is a significant source of methane emissions, an incredibly potent greenhouse gas (GHG). HB 1799/SB 5731, a new bill, hopes to address these issues by diverting most organic materials from landfills. But counties have concerns.

Inslee's pro-democracy bill gets hearing 44 We don't have to choose between protecting democracy nd protecting free . .. , speech. There cannot e one without the # other. And this dill does both. -Governor JayI I Re 1111•10, Ale 1 Gov.Jay Inslee testified today in favor of Substitute Senate Bill 5843 at a public hearing in the Senate Committee on State Government& Elections. Inslee argued for stronger accountability against politicians seeking to undermine elections or incite violence "The Big Lie, that we can't trust our democracy to count the votes, has become a weapon. It's being used all over America—including our state—and it will again incite violence.There are many examples where the law punishes lying on official documents or under oath—and I believe some standard should apply here," Inslee said. Catherine Ross, a constitutional law professor from George Washington University Law School who focuses on the First Amendment, also provided expert feedback to Inslee's office on the proposed legislation. She testified at today's hearing in favor of the bill. "I first learned about Governor Inslee's proposal from an article in the Washington Post that quoted my work to suggest this bill would face an uphill battle. But on reading this piece I agreed with the governor that these are exceptional times in which lies about the results of the last election pose a realistic threat," Ross testified. "I thought Washington's interests were so important I wanted this bill to be done right, and I reached out and offered to help. I consulted and helped craft the language which I do believe addresses the First Amendment problems." VIDEO:TVW livestream. Read more on the governor's medium page. Business, labor co-chairs appointed to helm workforce board by Inslee Gov. Jay Inslee appointed two new co-chairs to helm the state's Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board bringing together labor and business leaders at a time when the state faces pivotal workforce and economic challenges during an ongoing pandemic.The board is tripartite with equal representation from business, labor, and government. The two new chairs are Gary Chandler,vice president of strategic affairs at the Association of Washington Business, and Larry Brown, President of the Washington State Labor Council,AFL-CIO.They succeed former Workforce Board Chair Perry England,vice president of building performance at MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions in Seattle,who chaired the Board from 2015 through 2021. "I appreciate the willingness of these two highly respected leaders to come together to collaborate on behalf of Washington's business and labor communities. Maintaining, growing and diversifying our state's world-class workforce is one of our highest economic priorities, especially as we work towards an equitable economic recovery that opens up new opportunities in rural communities and communities of color,"said Inslee. New WA Cares long-term care legislation allows for a pause and improvements 2 ain't 11 .10"1 M.!! • On Thursday, Gov. Jay Inslee signed House Bills 1732 and 1733 to delay the WA Cares payroll tax.These bills passed the House last week.The payroll tax is now delayed until July 2023. "By pausing and improving this important program,we can make sure the state gets it right.We have to get it right, because the need for the full range of long-term care services and supports continues to grow, and so do the expenses associated with that care. 7 in 10 Washingtonians over the age of 65 will need long-term services and supports in their lifetimes,"said Inslee. Both the Department of Social and Human Services and the Employment Security Department have started implementing the changes. Beginning July 2023, employees will pay$0.58 per$100 of earnings into the fund. ESD has started work to delay employer reporting and premium collection by 18 months. It has updated its website with basic information for employers and people who've applied for exemptions. ESD won't accept any WA Cares premium payments for the first quarter of 2022 and will communicate more detailed guidance to employers in February. The governor also held a media availability for updates regarding COVID, legislative session, and other general state updates. Media availability found here. House Bills 1732 and 1733. Inslee nominates three for WDFW Commission 3 Gov. Jay Inslee this week announced three nominees for the state Fish and Wildlife Commission,giving the commission a full board pending confirmation by the state Senate. Inslee nominated Melanie Rowland, a former adviser to the National Marine Fisheries Service from the Methow Valley;Tim Ragen, a former executive director of the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission from Anacortes;and John Lehmkuhl,a retired U.S. Forest Service research scientist from Wenatchee. "These appointees bring an understanding of the science and the importance of conserving our natural resources," Inslee said."I hope the Senate will confirm them in short order. It's been some time since every seat on the commission was full and I hope these nominees will serve the public well on critical wildlife and conservation issues." Biden Administration approves public assistance request for counties and Tribes impacted by November storms The Biden Administration this week amended the state's Major Disaster Declaration approved earlier this year to help individuals and families impacted by last November's floods has been to include additional support. "We have a long way to go to achieve a full recovery following the record rainfall that hit our state last November. It's going to take time, and a lot of money to get back on our feet. I appreciate that President Biden is offering his support and making programs available to ensure our families and communities quickly, and fully recover," Inslee said. The president's declaration now makes available the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Public Assistance Program for infrastructure damage suffered during severe storms that occurred Nov. 5 through Dec. 2 for seven counties and five tribes.The program helps offset costs these counties,tribes and state agencies incurred to provide emergency protective measures, as well as repair and replacement of some disaster- damaged facilities. Jurisdictions that FEMA determined qualify for the Public Assistance program include: Clallam, Island,Jefferson, Lewis, San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom Counties, as well as the Hoh Indian Tribe, Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation, Nooksack Indian Tribe of Washington, Quileute Nation,and the Swinomish Indian Community. Earlier this year, Biden approved FEMA's Individual Assistance for those who experienced losses during the incident period in Clallam, Skagit and Whatcom Counties, as well as for the federally recognized Lummi Nation, Nooksack Indian Tribe and Quileute Nation.The IA program helps individuals and families who have uninsured or underinsured necessary expenses and serious needs.Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster. In collaboration with the Washington Military Department's Emergency Management Division, FEMA has established several Disaster Recovery Centers throughout the impacted jurisdictions. Recovery specialists from FEMA,the U.S. Small Business Administration and Washington state agencies are available to help flood survivors apply for federal assistance and receive information about help available for homeowners, renters and business owners. Individuals can find a list of Recover Center locations here or can call 1-800-621-FEMA(3362)for assistance.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING 1 Olympic Water and Sewer will be conducting annual water main flushing in Port Ludlow starting January 31, 2022, and will continue through the end of April. This is not a continuous start-to-finish operation, but rather will take place intermittently as manpower allows. Work will only occur Monday through Friday during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The crews will flush the mains using fire hydrants until the water runs clear. Weekly email notifications informing customers where the flushing may be taking place during the upcoming week will be sent out via the LMC and SBCA. Weekly notifications can also be found at www.portludlowresort.com/owsi. "A-Boards" will be put out on streets prior to flushing to notify residents. Water quality throughout the water system should remain normal unless the flushing is in your immediate area. This action is designed to flush away secondary contaminants that are left behind by the water. Department of Health terms Primary contaminants as those associated with known health issues. Secondary contaminants are associated primarily with aesthetic issues such as, but not limited to, color in the water and staining of plumbing fixtures. The lines need to be flushed periodically to prevent buildup of these contaminants and to prevent problems with the water system. The flushing may cause a temporary change in the appearance of the water. The changes are generally in color, ranging from brownish to black in extreme cases. OWSI recommends that during the time of the flushing that no water should be run in the homes. Using water at the same time as the flushing could draw colored water into household plumbing. The discolored water might appear not only in the tap, but also in hot water tanks and toilet tanks. In most cases after the flushing is complete running your tap for a few minutes will eliminate the discoloration. It is a temporary condition and the water should quickly return to normal. There are no known health issues associated with the discoloration. 2 Please call Olympic Water and Sewer at (360) 437-8241 should you have any questions about this notification or if you experience difficulties with your water returning to normal. Emergency? (877) 826-5787 If you have an after-hours emergency related to this or any other water or sewer issue, please call the answering service at (877) 826-5787. They will dispatch a technician.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hello good Commissioners, KPTZ appreciates your support for our efforts to secure legislative relief from LET, and we wanted to let you know where the matter stands at this point in the 2022 Legislative Session. Rep.Tharinger, and a number of his House colleagues, have taken up our request and, folding it into a broader strategy, introduced HB 2058. See section (22): https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2021-22/Pdf/Bills/House%20Bills/2058.pdf?q=20220129101329 While this bill takes a different approach than we had initially proposed, it is our understanding that this legislation if passed would provide KPTZ the relief we are seeking. Given the pressures of a short session, Rep.Tharinger has informed us that, in his view, it is unlikely that this bill will move to the floor for a vote during this session.That said, today we note that the bill has been scheduled for a hearing in front of the House Finance Committee at 8:00 am on February 3. See: https://app.leg.wa.gov/committeeschedules/Home/Documents/29741 It is our understanding that hearings are still virtual, so if the County wanted to sign up and testify, it would be a Zoom meeting that morning. Please let us know if you have any questions and again, we thank you greatly for all your support. /Kate Ingram General Manager 91.9FM KPTZ PO Box 2091 Port Townsend, WA 98368 360-379-6886-o 707-227-2661-c 1 KPTZ 101«9 2 Julie Shannon From: Kate Dean Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2022 6:31 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Risky business, pouring U.S. weapons into expanding NATO, confirming nuclear armed Russia's fear Attachments: Tangled Tale of NATO Expansion at the Heart of Ukraine Crisis - Consortium News.webloc; 2022-doomsday-clock-statement - 2022-doomsday-clock- statement.pdf.webloc From: Douglas Milholland Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2022 6:29:58 PM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) Subject: Risky business, pouring U.S. weapons into expanding NATO, confirming nuclear armed Russia's fear ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Given the potential for a nuclear war in the Ukraine it's important that our electeds hear from us. I've included a lot for you to consider, and hope you will find it valuable. Please join me in writing our Senators, Representative Kilmer and President Biden. 1) my thoughts on the need for our Senator Murray and Cantwell to come into support of the recent UN Nuclear Weapons Ban treaty 2) Quaker statement about the Ukraine 3) a recent letter to a constituent from Oregon's Senator Merkely. 4) the January 20th statement from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists(attached}AND 5) the "Tangled Tale of NATO expansion..." also attached. Thanks so much for your assistance! Every day is a blessing! May we escape the death trap we have created for ourselves with all the military spending intent on being "top dawg" -full spectrum dominance. Sincerely Doug Milholland (1) Nearly one-quarter of America's 9,962 nuclear weapons are now assigned to the Bangor submarine base on Hood Canal. This makes Bangor the largest nuclear weapons storehouse in the United States, and possibly the world. In a nuclear war the Trident base will probably be struck by multiple nuclear missiles. Radioactive fallout from a ground burst nuclear explosion follows the wind, and will impact cities hundreds of miles away. Because Port Townsend is 27 air miles north of the Trident base all we hold precious is at risk 24-7. Now is the time to join with people all over the world supporting the 2017 UN treaty banning nuclear weapons. Let's encourage each other, claim the power to survive and be the change that must occur to protect life on our garden planet. As Martin Luther King said "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." Only by joining together can "We the People" empower our democratic government to sign and come into compliance with this life saving treaty. Full Text of U.N. Treaty: https://undocs.org/A/CONF.229/2017/8 1 (2) War is not the Answer in the Ukraine by Bridget Moix, fifth General Secretary of the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL): As Russia threatens to move its forces across the Ukrainian border, the talk in Washington, D.C. is focused on how many weapons and troops the United States can send and how quickly, how to design the most crippling sanctions, and whether to impose them before or after an invasion occurs. As Quakers, we affirm that war is never the answer. War is brutal and bloody, and its grievous consequences stretch on for generations. War represents a calamitous failure of governments to do their most basic job of keeping their people safe. This discussion assumes that Russia can be threatened into submission. Or that threats of war will prevent a war. But disputes don't end with wars, they end with diplomacy and peacebuilding. Rather than mobilizing resources and efforts to prevent a war, Russia, the United States, and much of Western Europe are rapidly bidding each other into a war. Most heartbreaking of all, little or no thinking on either side has gone into who will bear the brunt of the suffering and what will be achieved by fighting a war. As Quakers, we affirm that war is never the answer. War is brutal and bloody, and its grievous consequences stretch on for generations. War represents a calamitous failure of governments to do their most basic job of keeping their people safe. Better and often faster outcomes can be achieved by patient, flexible, good-faith diplomacy. Long-term peace requires building trust and cooperation. President Vladimir Putin, as you amass more troops and weapons at Ukraine's borders consider these questions: How many innocent civilians will be killed, injured, made homeless, forced to flee, or left unable to feed their families following an invasion? How much land and water will be poisoned or littered with deadly war detritus? How many debts will those who had no say in this decision be forced to repay and for how many decades? President Joe Biden and members of Congress, expanding NATO any further would constitute an unnecessary provocation as well as an unwise military obligation. Taking such expansion off the table would address Russia's primary security concern and reduce the likelihood that U.S. troops will be sent to yet another unwinnable war. Simply by acknowledging this, you could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars. Russia, the United States, and Ukraine all share one key interest now: preventing a war. To put people first, all sides must do everything in their power to deescalate the situation and return to the bargaining table. Anything represents a moral fai ling o f the highest magnitude. less g g Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley (3) Dear Peter, Thank you for contacting me to share your support for reducing nuclear dangers and weapons spending as well as your concern about Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). I agree with you and appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. As someone who worked on nuclear arms control in the Pentagon and for Congress in the 1980s, I take extremely seriously the grave responsibility of managing the most dangerous weapons on earth and reducing the risks of nuclear escalation.That is why as Senate co-chair of the bicameral Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control Working Group, I have repeatedly pressed the Biden administration to use the Nuclear Posture Review as an opportunity to reduce the role of nuclear weapons, including ICBMs, in our national security strategy. For example, I have sent several letters urging the administration to adopt a No First Use Policy, retire new, 2 unnecessary systems that the Trump administration began to develop, and pursue robust diplomacy with China and Russia on arms control and nuclear risk reduction. I have also used my position on the Senate Appropriations Committee to advocate for reductions in wasteful nuclear weapons spending and to rein in redundant modernization programs in the annual defense appropriations bill. While some nuclear weapons modernization programs can help existing systems operate more safely and reliably, I remain deeply concerned by spending increases for these programs that ignore recommendations from the Government Accountability Office or significantly exceed previously estimated cost levels.Such programs not only detract from urgently needed investments in domestic priorities, but also risk inviting nuclear competition—or miscalculation—by undermining America's commitment to global nuclear disarmament. Instead of excessive spending on nuclear weapons,we should be reinvesting our taxpayer dollars to support health care, housing, education, and jobs in our communities in Oregon and across the country. Please know that I will continue to fight against outsized nuclear weapons spending and policies that risk the spread of nuclear dangers. Thank you, again, for contacting me. I hope you will continue to write me about the issues that matter most to you. All my best, Jeffrey A.

That imagery, however, is in stark contrast to reality as Democrats have weaponized yet another federal agency to target their political enemies on the Right. After January 6, 2021, Capitol Police officials announced plans to expand beyond the legislatively authorized purview of the agency and open offices in Florida and California, as well as in other states.

So why is anyone paying attention to liberal, Northeast politicians who can't even keep their own states populated? <20220130_184818.jpg> tAO "...the centre cannot hold". 1 Julie Shannon From: Greg Brotherton Sent: Monday, January 31, 2022 4:02 AM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: PLVC Board Meeting Thursday, February 3, 2022 From: Port Ludlow Village Council Sent: Monday, January 31, 2022 4:01:47 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US &Canada) To: Greg Brotherton Subject: PLVC Board Meeting Thursday, February 3, 2022 ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization.

So instead, I was 7rer �r _. 1 catching up on the news. In fact, I just finished reading an article in High Country News about the Pacific r i" u a�1 1 7 j lamprey.These prehistoric creatures haven't evolved since at least the Cretaceous Era,66 million years �° E'L 1'� ago, making their species older than trees.They've survived FIVE mass extinctions. But they're at risk. � ` I Over 90%of their numbers have been wiped out.And the shocking culprit? Humans(ok, maybe not so jr ro = , gill shocking). This is just a taste of the article,which I highly recommend you read.You'll learn about how Tribes all II j1 ,:. along the West Coast are leading the way in preserving these fish.These are not animals with a direct il {bdA1 economic connection.There's no lamprey fishing industry lobbying for their protection.Their harvest �d a doesn't directly fund our schools and fire stations.And, in fact,the dams that power our cities are one of iirWv o the greatest impediments to their survival.

The trial found ivermectin has"an antiviral effect"against the variant,Kowa said without providing further details.The firm has been working with Kitasato University,a medical university in Tokyo. Clinical trials evaluating the drug,which is used to treat parasites in animals and humans,are ongoing but promotion of the drug as a COVID-19 treatment has generated controversy. The drug is not approved for treatment of COVID-19 in Japan and the U.S.Federal Drug Administration has repeatedly warned against its use.

With the first wave of the Medicaid Transformation Project coming to an end, OCH adopted a new strategic plan with the following focus areas: • Together, recovery is possible (substance use disorder) • Individual needs are met timely, easily, and compassionately • Everyone has access to the full spectrum of care • Everyone housed The purpose of each action collaborative is to complete a 4-year action plan (2023-2026)with organizational, Tribal, community, and regional priorities to advance the focus areas on a regional level. Learn more and register here. Email och@olympicch.org with any questions. Project update: enhanced transformation projects In early 2021, OCH encouraged contracted partners to take additional steps toward improving the determinants of health —those conditions in which people are born, grow, live, and age that affect a wide range of health, functional, and quality of life risks and outcomes. OCH collected project proposals from partners and partners reported on their progress in December 2021. Most projects focused on access to care and care coordination. As COVID-19 rates continued to wax and wane throughout the region, partners adapted projects to best meet community needs. Despite ongoing challenges many partners saw successes in what they set out to do.

This project is made possible with grants 7 from the Valerie Sivinski Fund and Third Places Fund from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, and the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund. The two massive wood doors at the front of the building have been in dire need of TLC, with failing seals around the windows and exposed bare wood that is cracking in places. The building, like many in Port Townsend's historic district, is south-facing and exposed to weathering year- round. The doors take a beating from the heavy rain and winds characteristic of winter months on the Quimper Peninsula. The Jefferson Museum of Art & History will remain closed to the public for January and February 2022 as we restore the doors and install new exhibitions. We are excited to give the primary entrance to our museum and City Council Chambers a refreshing facial. And we can't wait to swing open our doors to all in the new year. See you back at the Jefferson Museum in March! • • JCHS is looking for a part-time Education and Programs Assistant to help build and deliver a variety of community-based programs for both adult and young learners, focused on content areas like history and heritage, the arts, and social and civic engagement.

It's a long, arcane, and detailed analysis, and I can't present every nuance or statistic here. But I think these are the primary takeaways. From the study: Overall, we conclude that lockdowns are not an effective way of reducing mortality rates during a pandemic, at least not during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results are in line with the World Health Organization Writing Group (2006), who state, "Reports from the 1918 influenza pandemic indicate that social-distancing measures did not stop or appear to dramatically reduce transmission [...] In Edmonton, Canada, isolation and quarantine were instituted; public meetings were banned; schools, churches, colleges, theaters, and other public gathering places were closed; and business hours were restricted without obvious impact on the epidemic." Our findings are also in line with Allen's (2021) conclusion: "The most recent research has shown that lockdowns have had, at best, a marginal effect on the number of Covid 19 deaths." Why might that be? Mandates only regulate a fraction of our potential contagious contacts and can hardly regulate nor enforce handwashing, coughing etiquette, distancing in supermarkets, etc. Countries like Denmark, Finland, and Norway that realized success in keeping COVID-19 mortality rates relatively low allowed people to go to work, use public transport, and meet privately at home during the first lockdown. In these countries, there were ample opportunities to legally meet with others. Worse, the lockdowns caused tremendous harm: By continuing to our site you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. 1....earn about how we use cookies here.

But often, lockdowns have limited peoples' access to safe (outdoor) places such as beaches, parks, and zoos, or included outdoor mask mandates or strict outdoor gathering restrictions, pushing people to meet at less safe (indoor) places. Indeed, we do find some evidence that limiting gatherings was counterproductive and increased COVID-19 mortality What lessons should be learned (my emphasis)? The use of lockdowns is a unique feature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns have not been used to such a large extent during any of the pandemics of the past century. However, Lockdowns during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic have had devastating effects. They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy. These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of Lockdowns, which our meta- analysis has shown are marginal at best. Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument. To which I would add another: We can never squelch free discourse and debate on public-health issues again. People who argued against the "scientific consensus" about the lockdowns were stifled, censored by Big Tech, denigrated by the media, and mocked by establishment scientists. That was essentially "anti-science." The scientific method needs heterodox voices to speak freely if it is to function properly. This subsequent look-back shows why.

If passed, Senate Bill 5567 will provide new opportunities for coastal fishing communities by finally allowing commercial fishers who strive to fish sustainably the option to use fish traps, tested and proven to safely release threatened and endangered wild salmon and steelhead. • To learn more about the bill and the science supporting it, watch this short video of WFC biologist Adrian Tuohy testifying to a Senate committee earlier this month. � i Ad rn bl y wsc Two Actions You Can Take Today to Support the Legalization of Fish Traps in WA 1.)

He was ioo. IR His daughter Mary Ann Singlaub confirmed the death but did not cite a cause. To his admirers, Singlaub was the consummate warrior — a brawny, ramrod- straight man of action with the wounds and decorations to prove the truth of the lore that surrounded him. He rose to the rank of major general, and in the course of three wars, he became known as a stealthy commander with a knack for leading death-defying missions in mountains and jungles. During World War II, he distinguished himself in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor to the CIA, parachuting into German-occupied France and later into China to support anti-Japanese guerrilla forces. He also was the mastermind of a bluff that helped liberate nearly 40o Allied prisoners from a Japanese prison camp. For the nascent CIA. he headed azencv operations in postwar Manchuria. served x Articles left: 4 Subscribe to get unlimited access Subscribe Already have an account?

Serving at the time as chief of staff of U.S. forces in South Korea — the third-ranking Army official on the Korean Peninsula — he did something unusual, even shocking, for a military officer to do. He publicly disagreed with the president. Carter made a campaign pledge the year before to bring home 32,00o U.S. ground troops stationed in the region over five years. Many officials in the diplomatic and defense establishment had called for more troops to reinforce South Korea's border with North Korea. They said the border was a vital line of defense against aggressive communist regimes in North Korea and China. Singlaub, however, aired his objections in a particularly visible fashion, alarming the White House. He told a Post reporter that Carter's proposed retrenchment "will lead to war" as a previous drawdown of Allied forces had done in 195o. Singlaub, who later said the interview had been off the record, was ordered to Washington for a meeting with Carter, after which the president said at a news conference that the general had committed "a very serious breach of the propriety that ought to exist among military officers after a policy has been made." } x Articles left: 4 Subscribe to get unlimited access Subscribe Already have an account?

The incident was reminiscent of President Harry Truman's showdown with Douglas MacArthur over the conduct of the Korean War. MacArthur was relieved of command, and he retired to New York. Singlaub was reassigned to Army Forces Command at Fort McPherson, Ga., as chief of staff, but he continued on a collision course with Carter. He aired further policy differences with the president during a speech at Georgia Tech that hastened his retirement from the Army after 35 years of service. He was lauded as a hero by conservative politicians such as Sen. Jesse Helms, R- N.C., and became a speaker on the far-right lecture circuit, lambasting Carter's cancellation of the B-1A bomber program. Singlaub started the U.S. Council for World Freedom, an affiliate of the World Anti-Communist League. Later, as president of the international organization, he made what the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith called "substantial progress" in purging the group of neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and Latin American death-squad leaders. "We had a Mexican chapter that was really kooky," he told The Post in 1986. "Blamed everything on the Jews. Even accused Pope John Paul of being a Jew. They were thrown out."

Singlaub's chief function in what the Los Angeles Times called the business of "private-enterprise insurgency" was raising millions of dollars to supply arms to anti-communist irregulars in places such as Nicaragua, Angola, Afghanistan and Laos. In the early 198os, as Congress began curtailing U.S. funding of efforts to overthrow leftist regimes in Nicaragua and elsewhere, Singlaub and his organizations remained an important conduit of materiel and financial assistance, reportedly with the help of deep-pocketed conservatives and foreign governments. He was often compared to Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North and other major figures in the Reagan administration's Iran-contra scandal. North was among the national security officials who had authorized illegal arms sales to Iran to win the release of U.S. hostages in the Middle East and used some of the profits to support right- wing Nicaraguan rebels known as the contras. In his memoir, "Hazardous Duty" (1991), written with Malcolm McConnell, Singlaub reserved special contempt for North (a "gullible dupe") and the shady arms dealers who he said had inflated prices of inferior weapons and pocketed the difference. Their motive, he wrote, "had been profit, not patriotism." Singlaub was never the subject of a criminal investigation. He spent six years and hundreds of thousands of dollars battling a lawsuit — filed by a leftist nonprofit group, the Christic Institute — that promoted conspiracy theories about him and dozens of others with ties to the contras. The lawsuit was resolved in his favor in 1992. x Articles left: 4 Subscribe to get unlimited access Subscribe Already have an account?

John Kirk Singlaub was born on his grandfather's homestead in what is now Independence, Calif., on July io, 1921. During the summer, young Jack hiked with friends in the eastern Sierra Nevadas, and they tested their fortitude by finding out how many days they could march on what they carried in their rucksacks. His father worked for the city of Los Angeles, and the Singlaubs eventually settled in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood. Jack Singlaub, who said his ambition had always been to join the military, enrolled in an ROTC program at the University of California at Los Angeles. With America at war, he set aside his studies in 1943, just shy of graduation, to receive an Army commission as a second lieutenant. Volunteering for hazardous duty, he joined the OSS and was placed in a three- man group that dropped into the mountainous Massif Central area in south- central France in August � 1944. Their mission was to help French Resistance fighters prepare for the Allied invasion of the occupied country's Mediterranean coast, launched about two months after the D-Day invasion of Normandy. (William Casey, the future CIA director, was his case officer. When Casey offered him cyanide pills for use in the event of capture, Singlaub recalled replying, "No, sir, I don't intend to get captured.")

He said there were families, still living in castles, who would celebrate with the advancing Americans by uncorking fine wine or 50- year-old cognac that they had managed to hide from the Germans. "There was stress, strain, and pain, but you could survive." With the Allied march to Berlin underway, Singlaub volunteered for service in the Pacific to help end the war there. His most intrepid undertaking of the war came on Aug. 27, 1945, after the Americans leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs but before the official Japanese surrender on Sept. 2. It was feared that Allied prisoners of war would be executed en masse in retribution for the bombings, and Singlaub headed an eight-man rescue team sent to free American, Australian and Dutch POWs on Hainan Island in the South China Sea. After parachuting in, they were met at the guardhouse by bayonet- wielding Japanese soldiers who attempted to take them prisoner. Singlaub was a captain at the time, but he had been advised by an OSS specialist on the Japanese military to pose as a major, the rank above his. With swagger that astonished the Japanese guards, he recalled, he ordered them to watch over the medical and food supplies his team had brought with it. "There was a Japanese captain there, and I told him he didn't have enough rank to talk with me," Singlaub told the Warfare History Network. "He got on the telephone line and screamed to get connected to his colonel. We listened outside his door, and ... could hear the captain saying, 'But sir, they jumped in broad daylight, the major insists that Japan is surrendering — and he will talk only with you,' " x Articles left: 4 Subscribe to get unlimited access Subscribe Already have an account?

In 1992, he married Joan Lafferty. In addition to his daughter Mary Ann, of Vienna, Va., and his wife, of Franklin, survivors include his other children, Lis D'Antoni of Davie, Fla., and John Singlaub of Zephyr Cove, Nev.; three stepdaughters, Jody Ball of Columbia, Tenn., Sara Guest of Arlington, Tenn., and Debra Satterfield of Franklin; nine grandchildren; and 1i great-grandchildren. { After the war, Singlaub was based at Mukden before the Manchurian city fell to Chinese Communists forces in 1948 and Americans were expelled. He escaped with his cocker spaniel on the last possible flight — "under artillery attack, passing a reconnaissance plane with a red star insignia, knowing this battle of the cold war was lost," author Tim Weiner wrote in his CIA history "Legacy of Ashes." During the Korean War, Singlaub served as deputy chief of the CIA mission on the peninsula and later as an Army battalion commander, for which he received the Silver Star for valor in combat. He then joined the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He completed his UCLA degree in 1958, majoring in political science. His other military decorations included the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Soldier's Medal, the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart.

"That would be one way to at least identify my body," he added. "Then I understood that the gesture was also symbolic of my commitment. Once I put those worn old steel tags back around my neck, I decided to keep them on until the war was over. I am still wearing them today." Subscribe to Stars and Stripes Just 99c a week!

Click Here NATIONAL N A ri ASSOCIATION f'itOUNTIES "-"IN00,—"*1141106--4*- *VP , 1 1 i' f IILL Urge Your Member of Con Congress to Enact FY 2022 Appropriations Bill 1 Local governments risk losing access to $45 billion in new transportation resources. Urge your member of Congress to ensure counties can access the transportation funding provided under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, by enacting a full-year Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 appropriations bill upon expiration of the current stopgap funding bill on February 18, 2022. Without a federal spending law in place, local governments risk losing access to nearly $45 billion in new transportation resources provided under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in FY 2022. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is prohibited from working on critical new programs that have the potential to modernize and enhance local infrastructure while reducing impacts on the environment. USDOT is also prevented from adding the capacity needed to successfully implement the nearly $1 trillion law. The National Association of Counties, along with a coalition of public and private stakeholders, has called on Congress to enact a full-year FY 2022 appropriations bill. Enacting FY 2022 appropriations is critical for counties, whose majority of access to federal transportation programs is limited to competitive grant opportunities funded through the federal appropriations process. Contact your member of Congress and urge them to ensure counties can access the transportation funding provided under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
