By NICOLE MONTESANO Of the News-Register The “principle variant of con- cern” in the COVID-19 pandemic in Oregon is the so-called UK strain B.1.1.7, Brett Tyler, Direc- tor of Oregon State University’s Center for Genome Research told a group of journalists this week. Tyler, who has been overseeing genome testing of sewage sam- ples from around the state, said incidence of the B.1.1.7 variant is “rising rapidly in Oregon. “That’s of concern because there’s evidence it can spread up to 50% faster than the original strain. The South African vari- ant is also making an appearance both in the wastewater samples, and in the sequencing of individ- ual samples. That also appears to be able to spread up to 50% faster; and there’s also some con- cern about that variant’s ability to resist some protection provided by the vaccines,” Tyler said. However, he said, “Having said that, all the evidence shows that the vaccines are very, very Marcus Larson/News-Register effective against both the variants, Furniture bank Director Meghan Smith prepares a box of kitchen utensils, cups and plates for a needy family.

So and other household goods to those who otherwise might have to choose between paying rent or buying food, instead of getting a bed or chair. I think that the message here is that people need to be responsible in their behaviors; stay distanced, wear masks and so forth while the vaccination gets ahead of the spread of these variants. And once a larger percentage of the pop- ulation is vaccinated, the threat ‘A good, clean start’ posed by these variants will be significantly decreased.” Fifteen counties this week are returning to “extreme risk” status, With furniture bank, new nonprofit hopes to help people in need set up a household requiring tighter restrictions on By STARLA POINTER business operations, because of “We want to get things in the hands of people everything closed down because of the coro- rising case counts.

SPORTS Pace Continued from A10 there. When I’m pitching quick, it’s nice – it gets me going. When I start finding that rhythm, I can settle into a good pace.” Guinn’s work behind the dish is made sim- ple by Henderson’s pace, he said, explaining, “It’s easy. When a pitcher has good rhythm, it’s just easy back there catching, because it gives you a good rhythm, too. I get the sign, put it down, and it comes right where I want it.” Henderson’s quick and effortless pitching relies on command plus solid defending. He found both aspects in the 8-0 shutout of the Falcons. “Everything was working for me. I was locating my fastball pretty well, and I was able to mix in my off-speed. The changeup was working really well today,” said Hen- derson. Mac’s defense committed only one error against Liberty, a fourth-inning bobble by short stop Ky Hoskinson. But Henderson aptly managed the mistake, inducing back- to-back groundouts to strand a pair of Falcon runners. The Grizzly offense received early support from the bottom of the order. Evan Crawford (2-3, RBI, run, stolen base), Jalen Dryden (1-3, RBI, run, stolen base), Max Saltmarsh (1-3, run) and Eli Rolfe (1-1, run, double, walk) earned lofty praise from the Hender- son, Guinn and the coaching staff. “It’s great to get production up and down the lineup.
