Vaccine Continued from A1 Deschutes County educators began receiving vaccinations on Jan. 13 — first with a small group of school staff such as Kansky who work with at-risk groups, then all school staff eight days later. Since then, about 3,500 school staff members in De- schutes County have received their first vaccine dose as of Monday, according to Juli- anne Repman, Bend-La Pine Schools’ director of safety and communications and a local organizer for the school staff vaccination effort. Bend-La Pine or Redmond school districts don’t have data on how many staffers took the vaccine, the districts’ respective spokespeople said. A survey in mid-January from the Bend-La Pine teach- ers’ union found that 88.5% of those who responded planned to get vaccinated, Barclay said. And most of those who said no or were unsure did so for personal medical reasons, such as a pregnancy, rather than be- lieving in anti-vaccine ideolo- gies, she said. Crook County held a one- day mass vaccination event for educators on Jan. 25, when nearly 300 school staffers were vaccinated by county health and Mosaic Medical staff, ac- cording to representatives from both organizations. Vicky Ryan, spokesperson for Crook County Health Department, said less than 5% of school staff in the county refused a vac- cine. Crook County had to start its vaccinations later than De- schutes due to a lack of supply, Ryan said. “We’ve been only allocated 100 doses a week, and there was one week we didn’t get any,” she said. “We’re not get- ting enough at any one time.” In Jefferson County, where the population is more spread out, 270 educators received vaccines in different locations on different days. The vast ma- jority of school staff members received their vaccines last week, mainly in Madras med- ical locations along with the health center in Warm Springs, said Tami Kepa’a, spokesper- son for Jefferson County Pub- lic Health. Neither Ken Parshall — superintendent of Jefferson County School District — nor Kepa’a knew what percentage of Jefferson County School District teachers opted to take the vaccine. Parshall believes the major- ity of his staff were vaccinated, and he thinks this will make educators, families and stu- dents feel more comfortable when they begin returning to in-person classes on Wednes- day. “This step just makes (re- opening schools) feel a lot bet- ter for everyone involved,” he said. e e Reporter: 541-617-7854, jhogan@bendbulletin.com Turning cloudy and milder NATIONAL Yesterday City Hi/Lo/Prec.

High Low THURSDAY The system has many lawmakers complaining that watching someone tes- tify about their experiences during COVID-19 is less compelling than in person. But champions of the dis- tace system say it brings in a larger and more diverse group of voices compared to having to travel all the way to Salem to be given five minutes before a commit- tee that’s already heard two dozen five-minute presen- tations. But at some point the bills will have made their way through committees and those that are approved will head to the floor of each Death Continued from A1 Jones, 52, was a Red- mond resident who had no known connections to Jef- ferson County. He remains a subject of speculation to police. “He was a hard individ- ual to get background on,” Adkins said. “He had no ties up to Jefferson County that we’re aware of. Why was he up here? How did he hook up with the suspects? We had a lot questions.” In the early morning of Aug. 20, a truck driver called 911 to report a person’s body on the side of NW Dan- ube Drive about 7 miles northwest of Madras. The man, Jones, was about 40 feet from U.S. Highway 26, though obscured from view by a sharp turn in the road. It was clear to investi- gators Jones had walked a short distance and leaned against a guardrail before succumbing to his injuries, Adkins said. “You can tell where he fell against the guardrail and then fell on the ground,” Adkins said. It’s not thought Jones was at the location for very long, given average traffic volume on Danube Drive and how prominent the body was. 36/32/0.62 61/59/0.30 72/60/0.00 72/48/0.00 91/73/0.00 36/17/0.00 70/55/0.00 34/13/Tr 68/47/0.07 41/18/0.00 73/64/1.99 81/60/0.00 81/57/0.00 48/18/Tr 79/68/0.05 43/37/0.12 37/27/0.04 48/43/0.91 77/63/0.08 76/64/0.00 63/48/0.15 65/43/0.00 72/62/0.70 76/66/0.00 59/55/0.01 40/37/0.03 63/48/0.00 86/73/0.00 48/41/r 65/49/pc 77/61/s 72/49/pc 94/74/s 42/9/s 74/62/c 43/36/r 68/48/c 52/43/sh 79/64/t 84/65/s 81/56/s 13/3/sn 75/64/pc 47/42/c 38/35/r 54/43/c 74/64/t 72/63/s 58/48/pc 65/49/s 68/61/c 73/67/pc 61/51/sh 49/41/r 56/46/c 86/75/s chamber for a vote. Then the bills go to the other chamber and the committee process be- gins anew. That means halfway through and at the end, for a bill to pass, legislators will have to return en masse to the Capitol. Asked how many times law- makers will have to come to Sa- lem during the session, House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Port- land, said “I honestly don’t know.” Legislation can make it through committee until dead- lines can’t be stretched any fur- ther. “We can let the bills pile up until April,” Kotek said, ventur- ing a guess. There is hope among law- makers that by spring, the virus infection rate will have con- tinued on its downward path, more people will be vaccinated and gathering under the Capi- tol’s gray granite dome on Court Street might be less dangerous. Many would like to see at least a limited reopening of the Capitol for public hearings. But for now, each trip to Salem carries with it some risk. Un- like states such as Colorado, so far Oregon legislators have not been given a preference in pri- ority for early vaccination. The fallout of the COVID-19 crisis has required the House and Senate to convene in three short special sessions in June, August and December. With strict masking and social distancing (honored by all but a few Republicans), there have been no reported COVID-19 infections among those of the 60 House and 30 Senate members who attended On Friday, a Jefferson County judge signed an arrest warrant for Winishut, Robin- son and Belgard, and they were arrested in Warm Springs the next day and interviewed by police. It’s not thought the trio was on the run from the law or hiding out when they were ar- rested, Adkins said. Two of the three, Winishut and Belgard, have been as- signed public defenders.

Like many states, Oregon’s lawmakers skew toward the older end of the age spectrum, with more than a few in their 60s and 70s. Despite it all, Oregon is one of only six states where no member of the Legislature has been infected. Nationwide, 161 state law- makers have been infected and seven have died, most recently Wyoming Republican Rep. Roy Edwards, 66, on Nov. 2. U.S. Rep Luke Letlow, R-La., 41, be- came the first member of Con- gress to die from COVID-19 on Dec. 29. So far, 21 infections have been reported in legislatures in January, tying the one-month record, according to the politi- cal website Ballotpedia. e e gwarner@eomediagroup.com ment were unreturned Mon- day.
