COVID-19 County Kicking into gear apologizes for wrong hospital numbers By NICOLE MONTESANO Of the News-Register Yamhill County Health and Human Services Director Lind- sey Manfrin apologized this week for an error that, for several days, indicated extremely high hospitalization rates for county COVID-19 patients. Information that around 20% of COVID hospitalizations statewide were Yamhill County residents was shared on Face- book by Commissioner Casey Kulla last week and reported in Tuesday’s News-Register. Manfrin followed up Wednes- day evening, saying there was currently no one hospitalized with COVID-19 who resides in Yamhill County. Thursday, however, the county listed three people as hospitalized. “Yamhill County Public Health discovered that when pulling this data there were a number of people who were discharged from Rusty Rae/News-Register the hospital and this information McMinnville midfielder Alexis Saucedo fires a shot on goal during the Grizzlies’ boys soccer season opener Monday against rival Newberg.

GUEST COMMENTARY Tradition of gun ownership helps make America special

By JOSEPH MAJORS I strongly support Yamhill County’s Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance. Residents and visitors should not have to fear arrest and prosecution because they are lawfully in possession of a defensive firearm. The farther this country and each of the states which it con- sists of, go down this path, the closer we get to repeating history. There’s a few reasons the United States hasn’t been turned into a hell on earth YET. n It’s still pretty new. Our current form of government Officials promote was only established about nine generations ago, so hasn’t had as much time to decay as the old worlds nation have. n The land still had abundant resources when we colonized it, unlike our brothers across the ocean.
