A6 THE BULLETIN • SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2021 Crooked River Ranch murderer dies in prison Bulletin staff report A Crooked River Ranch man, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2017 for the shoot- ing deaths of his two room- mates, died Friday in custody at Snake River Correctional Insti- Doses Continued from A1 The county urged the state to rethink its decision and re- new its plans to send vaccines to Jefferson County so the county can resume vaccinating its community. “We don’t have a problem getting the vaccines out to our community,” said Tami Kep‘a, Jefferson County Public Health spokeswoman. “We’re hoping the letter will get us back to the top of the prioritization list.” Getting more vaccines is Closet Continued from A1 “I think it makes it more fun for them — less reach- ing out, saying ‘I need help,’ Kim Vierra, the university administrator who helps run Benny’s Closet, said of the changes. “It changed the dy- namics of it.” Since the revamp in De- cember, about 20 students have used the service, accord- ing to Vierra. When Benny’s Closet launched at the Bend campus in the fall of 2019 — origi- nally as a pop-up booth near the dining hall — it wasn’t very popular, she said. Vierra and Megan Bolt — a senior at OSU-Cascades who helps run Benny’s Closet — couldn’t remember which one of them came up with the idea to switch to a survey style. But both agree that it’s been a success. tution, according to the Oregon Department of Correc- tions. Mitchell Julio Morris, 25, died in the prison’s infirmary. The State Medical Examiner has been notified and will determine a cause of death. Morris entered prison March 24, 2017, and was serving a life sentence on two charges of ag- gravated murder. Morris was a longtime friend and roommate of the victims, Bailee Southwick, 19, and McK- enzie Lyman, 21. All three lived together in a house on the 9000 block of Sand Ridge Road, where the shootings occurred Feb. 26, 2016, according to the Jefferson County District Attor- particularly important be- cause the county often ranks poorly among other counties for health metrics, said Wayne Fording, a county commis- sioner. Jefferson County ranked 34 out of 36 counties in the an- nual State of Oregon by the County Health Rankings in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wiscon- sin’s Population Health Insti- tute. The county ranks higher than the state average for pre- “They shouldn’t be redirecting the vaccines to Portland. Sometimes, when you’re a small county, you have to stand up for yourself or else get left out.” Although the service is use- ful for students with financial difficulties, it isn’t exclusively for them, Bolt said. “It’s not meant to be a thrift shop,” she said. “If you’re a student, it’s for you, whether or not you have clothing al- ready. College is a burden on anyone.” Benny’s Closet has always stocked its inventory through clothing donations. But last year, Vierra and Bolt decided to specifically ask members of the Bend Chamber of Commerce program, Young Bend Professionals, for more age-appropriate and trendy outfits. “The kind of clothing we were getting donated (in the past), to be frank, it was from elderly people. The sizing was off, too,” Vierra said. “We were not having the inventory that would be a good fit for a typical student.” Now, Benny’s Closet — which is a literal closet on OSU-Cascades’ campus — is stuffed with college stu- dent-friendly, nicer brands like Banana Republic. And some have even donated new items with the tags still on, Bolt said. The service also helps the environment, as it encourages reuse of clothing rather than throwing it away, Vierra said. “A lot of clothing ends up in landfills,” she said. The revamped service has been such a success, that Ben- ny’s Closet may soon need a new influx of donated clothes, Bolt said. In particular, they need larger-sized women’s clothing and any type of men’s cloth- ing, she said. “I think we could use some more clothes, especially if (the service) gets any bigger,” Bolt said. — Wayne Fording, Jefferson County commissioner mature death and experiences higher than normal rates of obesity and asthma. That’s combined with higher number of uninsured, income inequal- ities, poverty levels and avail- able health care providers. “They shouldn’t be redirect- ing the vaccines to Portland,” Fording said. “Sometimes, e e Reporter: 541-617-7854, jhogan@bendbulletin.com when you’re a small county, you have to stand up for your- self or else get left out. “We’re asking for our share.

As of Friday, Jefferson County vaccinated 2,452 people, of which 573 have re- ceived both the first and sec- ond doses, according to the Oregon Health Authority dashboard. The county is ranked fourth in the state in terms of case rates per 100,000, accord- ing to the letter. Many of the COVID-19 infections in Jef- Morris ferson County have been at workplaces. To date 25 people have died of the virus in Jeffer- son County, and the decision to redirect the county’s supply of first-dose vaccines to other communities is causing harm. “We have a 37-page wait- ing list,” Fording said. “There’s interest. People are definitely wanting the vaccine. The goal is to get back to that herd immunity situation and get businesses open and kids in school.” e e Reporter: 541-633-2117, sroig@bendbulletin.com Ryan Brennecke/The Bulletin OSU-Cascades student Megan Bolt bags items of clothing for fellow students Friday while volunteering at Benny’s Closet.
