Coronavirus cases declined in Oregon last week as the state seemingly settled into a new normal: 4,000-something weekly confirmed or presumed infections.
Oregon has now seen three consecutive weeks below 4,800 cases, a feat that hasn’t happened since October. And it appears very likely Oregon will add a fourth week to the streak.
ZIP codes outside the Portland area saw the most coronavirus cases last week – with one major exception. The Portland ZIP code home to the Inverness Jail, where a large outbreak is infecting adults in custody, led the state in cases for a second week in a row.
The family book compares raising the seed of wheat with nurturing and loving a baby
You could say the seed was planted for his book The Baby and the Seed many years ago when Dr. Leland Bud Beamer was a young student at Cornell College in Iowa. I had a female professor who was really big on why we become who we are, he recalls. They didn t have all this scientific knowledge then, but they knew that a good beginning made a big difference.
He wrote a paper on the topic for the class, which became required reading. Something turned me on as far as a passion. The seed was there, Beamer said. You assume a child at that age isn t going to remember anything, so does it really make a difference what goes on if they re not going to remember it?

Judge blasts Oregon prisons doctor; says must follow CDC rules
Marion judge requires beefed-up COVID-19 safety measures, recognizes arbitration process for prisoners seeking release.
A Marion County judge this week blasted the doctor in charge of health care at Oregon s prisons, approving a settlement that essentially requires the state to follow Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
The decision comes as dozens of lawyers around Oreggon have been waging a campaign to secure early release for clients who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. In filings around Oregon they ve argued Gov. Kate Brown and the Oregon Department of Corrections are not ensuring safety or releasing vulnerable inmates as they should in light of the disease s rapid spread in Oregon s prisons.

Frances Lanegan has watched with a growing sense of dread over the past month as coronavirus cases have exploded where she lives.
Her home for the moment is Coffee Creek Correctional Institution. Lanegan, a 56-year-old inmate, is serving a three-year sentence after a drug conviction last year. Of the 219 coronavirus cases at the Wilsonville facility since the beginning of the pandemic, 164 have been diagnosed in the past three weeks.
She and her cellmate both tested negative on Dec. 19 and 28, but when tested again on Jan. 6, Lanegan’s cellmate tested positive, though she did not. Lanegan expected to be moved, but when she asked the guards, they told her that since she had already been exposed, she would be staying with her infected cellmate.
