Oregon flu cases on the rise; vaccination remains best protection
OHA release - Following the holidays, flu cases across Oregon are on the rise. The positive news is that flu activity is lower than the record-breaking severity of 2024-2025. However, Oregon has not yet reached the peak of flu season. It's important to remember that even mild to moderate flu seasons result in significant illness and death. Every flu season is a bad flu season. To keep yourself and others safe, the seasonal flu vaccine provides the best protection against severe flu. It is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. The vaccine typically reduces the risk of hospitalization by about 50%.

OHA urges screening during Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
OHA release - What you need to know: Cervical cancer is preventable and treatable. Early detection saves lives. Free screenings are available. PORTLAND, Ore. – Oregon Health Authority is marking this year’s Cervical Cancer Awareness Month with a reminder that cervical cancer is preventable and treatable, and vaccinations and screenings—including free screenings for people without insurance—protect against this deadly cancer. OHA encourages people to get screened for cervical cancer, which includes Pap tests and human papillomavirus (HPV) tests that can find precancerous cell changes and detect cervical cancer early. As many as 93% of cervical cancers could be prevented by cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination. When found early, cervical cancer is highly treatable and associated with long survival and good quality of life. But people should get screened for cervical cancer regularly, even if you received an HPV vaccine. OHA also urges people to get the HPV vaccine. It can prevent new HPV infections, but it does not treat existing infections or diseases. That’s why the vaccine works best when given before any exposure to HPV. The vaccine is recommended for all people through age 26, including boys and men. Oregon’s Screenwise Program helps to alleviate the burden cancer can cause and reduce health inequities in Oregon through education, screening, early detection, evidence-based care and access to medical treatment. The program offers cervical cancer screening free of charge for people without insurance. OHA urges people to schedule screenings with their providers. People without a provider should call 211 for assistance.? To learn more about Screenwise, and for more resources, go to the program’s web page, or call 877-255-7070.

Stole COVID Relief Funds
U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon release - EUGENE, Ore.—The owner of three businesses pleaded guilty yesterday for stealing more than $487,386.75 in federal funds intended to help small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jodi Aliece Jennings, 50, of Junction City, Oregon, pleaded guilty to wire fraud. According to court documents, between April 2020 and January 2022, Jennings applied for and obtained six Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and one Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) Advance and submitted three fraudulent forgiveness applications for Meridian Redevelopment, J Jenn Enterprises Inc., and J2 Investments. Jennings falsely claimed each company was in business and paid payroll prior to and during the pandemic. Jennings used these loans on personal expenses. In total, Jennings stole no less than $487,386.75, including the EIDL advance and principal, interest, and SBA paid lender fees on the PPPs. On June 15, 2023, a federal grand jury in Eugene returned an indictment charging Jennings with nine counts of wire fraud. Jennings faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. She will be sentenced on April 22, 2026, before a U.S. District Court Judge. As part of the plea agreement, Jennings has agreed to pay restitution to the SBA. This case was investigated by the SBA Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon is prosecuting the case. Anyone with information about allegations of attempted fraud involving COVID-19 can report it by calling the Justice Department’s National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via the NCDF Web Complaint Form at: https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.

NCAA fb
Former Oregon football coach Mario Cristobal, who dumped the Ducks to become head coach at his alma mater, Miami, has led his Hurricanes into the NCAA Championship after beating Ole Miss, 31-27, Thursday, in the Fiesta Bowl at Glendale, Arizona. The Canes (13-2) will now wait for the winner of tonight’s game, 4:30p on ESPN, between Oregon and Indiana in the Peach Bowl, Atlanta, GA, to play for the NCAA Championship.

The Ducks arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday, two days prior to facing Indiana in a College Football Playoff semifinal
UO release - By: Rob Moseley - ATLANTA — The last time the Oregon football team faced a reigning Heisman Trophy winner, it worked out well for the Ducks. A similar showing Friday would go a long way to helping them reach the national championship game. The Ducks' College Football Playoff semifinal matchup with Indiana at the Peach Bowl brings the UO defense face-to-face with the newest winner of the sport's most prestigious award, Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Oregon is facing the reigning Heisman winner for the first time since 2023, when the Ducks knocked off Caleb Williams and USC in Autzen Stadium. "They're always game changers, or game wreckers," UO defensive back Jadon Canady said. "So it's cool to play against one." Mendoza, who began his career at California, is 240-of-332 passing for 3,172 yards and 36 touchdowns this season, against six interceptions. In the Hoosiers' win at Oregon on Oct. 11, he was 20-of-31 for 215 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. "Obviously we know that he's a great player," UO outside linebacker Teitum Tuioti said. "We know their offense is great, so we're just excited to compete one more time against them. Obviously it wasn't the outcome we wanted the first time, but we're excited to be here again and have another chance." The Ducks did have a pick-six off Mendoza in the regular season, by freshman Brandon Finney Jr. He was one of the stars of Oregon's CFP quarterfinal victory over Texas Tech at the Orange Bowl last week, as was Tuioti with two of the UO defense's four sacks that day. Oregon had just one sack against Indiana in October, a total the Ducks will look to improve on Friday. And the UO defensive front definitely has the Hoosiers' attention. "Oregon, let me tell you something," Indiana coach Curt Cignetti said at a press conference Thursday, "they're as big of a challenge for any team in college football, their D line, as anyone." The respect between Oregon's defense and the Indiana offense led by Mendoza goes both ways. "We definitely understand the back end needs to be very disciplined," Canady said Wednesday at a press conference following Oregon's arrival in Atlanta. "This guy probably won't make mistakes; if he does, we'll have to use that to our advantage." There haven't been many mistakes from Mendoza so far during his Heisman season. The Ducks are hoping to coax a couple Friday; Indiana is looking for the opposite. "I really can't say enough good things about what he's done since the day we got him till today," Cignetti said Thursday. "Except, he's gotta play damn good tomorrow." Friday is a homecoming of sorts for Oregon running back Noah Whittington. A Georgia native, Whittington has ample experience playing at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, site of the Peach Bowl. He played high school state championship games there in 2017 and 2018, and was with the Ducks when they played their 2022 season opener there against Georgia. "It means a lot, going back to where it all started," Whittington said earlier this week in Eugene. "I played my first, I guess you could say 'big' football game that was televised, in that stadium. So it should bring back some good memories for sure." Whittington could be a key player for the Ducks on Friday, given their limited depth at running back. Freshman Jordon Davison will miss the game due to injury, as will redshirt freshman Da'Jaun Riggs, while Jayden Limar didn't travel with the team on Wednesday amid reports he would enter the transfer portal. That thinning of the depth at running back only makes the choice of Oregon's honorary captain for the Peach Bowl seem even more appropriate. The Ducks' honorary captain is former running back Jonathan Stewart. He was MVP of the 2007 Sun Bowl, which the Ducks won despite a myriad of injuries that season, most notably to several quarterbacks including Heisman Trophy front-runner Dennis Dixon. The "next man up" mentality that team embraced is one this season's Ducks have been emulating. "It's really just about focusing on what we have here," tight end Kenyon Sadiq said earlier this week in Eugene. "(UO coach Dan) Lanning says every day in practice, there's gonna be someone that shows up in this game that hasn't all season. That's so true."
