A man’s white gold wedding band was lost last week. It was my dad’s wedding ring given to me when he died. I took it off for work and lost it out of my purse somewhere on campus or around Newberg. If you find it, please contact me at ksearch05@georgefox.edu. The ring has priceless sentimental value, and I will reward the finder.
Thank you,

Attention Students: While Security has been patrolling the campus lately, we have noticed many open doors and windows on houses and residences with NOBODY HOME. Laptops and other electronics were there for the taking.
When you leave your residence – even just to run an errand – lock the windows and doors to avoid tempting potential thieves.
Please also lock your cars and bikes, and do not leave your car windows down or cracked open.

The city of Newberg wishes to thank the George Fox community for its patience and understanding during our construction project along Meridian Street (June 9-12). All of our traffic flaggers commented on how nice it was dealing with everyone entering or leaving campus, compared to the “normal” responses they get elsewhere. One of the flaggers said that everyone they dealt with was “exceptional in understanding and cooperation.”
Also, thank you for opening up your cross-campus access during the project.

In response to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s announcement that a recent salmonella outbreak has been linked to the consumption of certain varieties of raw tomatoes, and products containing those varieties of raw tomatoes, Bon Appetit is removing the tomato varieties of concern from its menus and recipes until further notice. This includes sliced tomatoes on burgers served in the Bruin Den.
The FDA is advising consumers not to eat the tomato varieties of concern, including raw red plum, red Roma, and round red tomatoes.
According to the FDA, all other tomato varieties are safe, including cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached. Tomatoes grown at home are also reported to be safe.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Denny Lawrence,
Bon Appetit
