				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:20px"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Annual Event Celebrates Friendship&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;B&lt;em&gt;etween ultures&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;VANCOUVER, Wash.&mdash; The annual&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.clark.edu/about/arts-events/sakura/"&gt;Sakura Festival&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;returns on Thursday, April 16, to the Clark College main campus, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. Weather permitting, this free community event is held beneath a canopy of cherry blossoms and is presented by Clark College, the city of Vancouver, and Vancouver Rotary.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Opening remarks begin at 1 p.m. in the Royce Pollard Japanese Friendship Garden, located to the east of Beacock Music Hall on Clark&rsquo;s main campus. In case of inclement weather, the event will be inside Gaiser Student Center in the Penguin Union Building.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History of Sakura Festival at Clark College&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 1990, the City of Vancouver received a gift of friendship: 100 Shirofugen cherry trees from Mr. John Kageyama, President of America Kotobuki, in commemoration of Washington&rsquo;s 100&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;statehood anniversary.&amp;nbsp;These trees were planted at Clark College, creating an enduring reminder of the bonds between our region and Japan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Twenty years after the trees were planted, Clark College was bequeathed another generous gift from Dr. Chihiro Kanagawa, CEO of Shin-Etsu, to build a Japanese Friendship Garden. At his request, the garden was named after Royce E. Pollard, a former Clark College trustee, for his role in promoting international friendship. Pollard was present at the dedication ceremony on April 19, 2012.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over the years, those trees have grown and blossomed&mdash;as has that friendship, creating traditions such as the establishment of a sister-city relationship between Vancouver and Joyo, Japan in 1995, and our annual Sakura Festival, which began in 2006.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Chemeketa Community College Celebrates Community College Month, Highlighting Impact Across the Mid-Willamette Valley]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;April recognition underscores how Chemeketa expands opportunity, fuels career pathways, and supports student success&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore., April 6, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&mdash; Chemeketa Community College is proud to celebrate Community College Month this April, joining institutions across Oregon and the nation in recognizing the powerful role community colleges play in expanding access to education, strengthening communities, and preparing a skilled workforce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Community College Month shines a spotlight on the real impact colleges like Chemeketa have every day. From career and technical education to university transfer pathways and workforce training, Chemeketa helps students build meaningful futures while meeting the needs of local employers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&ldquo;Community colleges are where opportunity starts, and at Chemeketa, we see that in action every single day,&rdquo; said Jessica Howard, Ph.D., President and CEO of Chemeketa Community College. &ldquo;We see students who are changing the trajectory of their lives, starting college for the first time, returning to finish what they began, or gaining new skills to move into a better career.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Serving thousands of students across the Mid-Willamette Valley, Chemeketa provides flexible, affordable pathways that meet learners where they are. Many students are the first in their families to attend college, are balancing work and family responsibilities, or are returning to education to pursue new opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Chemeketa&rsquo;s programs are closely aligned with regional workforce needs, offering hands-on training in high-demand fields such as healthcare, trades, emergency services, business, and technology. Through partnerships with local industries and organizations, the college ensures students graduate with the skills and experience needed to step directly into family-wage careers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Community colleges continue to be recognized as one of the best values in higher education, providing accessible options without sacrificing quality. In Oregon, community colleges serve more than 200,000 students annually, contributing to a stronger, more resilient economy and more vibrant communities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&ldquo;Chemeketa Community College &ndash; Building Careers, Strengthening Communities reflects exactly what we do,&rdquo; Howard added. &ldquo;When our students succeed, our entire region benefits.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Throughout April, Chemeketa will highlight student stories, program offerings, and community partnerships that demonstrate the college&rsquo;s impact across the region. Community members are encouraged to follow along and learn more about the opportunities available at Chemeketa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[PCC reaches tentative deal with its faculty union, effectively ending nearly three-week strike]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; Portland Community College and its Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals (FFAP) have reached a tentative agreement, marking an end to a three-week strike that began March 11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Thanks to this tentative agreement and possible ratification, PCC is planning for spring includes a condensed 10-week schedule, with most classes beginning on April 6. Only some classes are meeting this week, including non-credit Community Education classes and Professional Development and Training (PDT). This allows PCC to keep published start and end dates in place while supporting continuity for students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The tentative agreement includes a 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) this year and 3% for 2026-27. In addition, lump sum payments of $5,475 for full-time faculty, $5,000 for Academic Professionals and $1,400 for part-time faculty. The offer also provides doctoral pay for both faculty and APs and invests in part-time faculty pay equity by increasing the pay scale from 75% to 76%, a $600,000 commitment. APs will also get 40 vacation hours to cash out and no instructional days will be added. On health care, the proposal includes full coverage at the most common tier, a new option for college contributions to a Health Savings Account, and additional insurance contributions for part-time faculty. PCC has roughly 1,600 faculty and APs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;On March 25, the college reached a deal with the Federation of Classified Employees (FCE) union. In that deal, employees approved a 0% COLA for this year and 5% for 2026-27. Classified employees will also receive a $1,350 lump sum payment upon ratification of the agreement on the next payroll cycle and be able to cash out of up to 40 vacation hours. PCC has approximately 700 classified employees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;This tentative agreement is an important step toward stability for PCC and the students we serve,&rdquo; said PCC President Dr. Adrien Bennings. &ldquo;We are pleased to be moving forward and refocusing on our core mission of educating students and serving our community.&amp;nbsp; At the same time, our hearts are heavy because we know that this agreement is so far outside of our budget that it will result in significant additional cuts in the future.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PCC continues to face mounting fiscal pressures that threaten not only the college&rsquo;s future, but also its contribution to Oregon&rsquo;s economy. Like many colleges and universities across the state, PCC is confronting persistent structural budget challenges as it works to remain financially sustainable while continuing to meet the needs of students, employers, and the broader community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;That challenge carries real consequences. PCC serves more than 57,000 students each year across four campuses and ten centers, providing a critical pathway to education, workforce training, and economic mobility. Sixty percent of PCC students attend part-time while balancing jobs or family responsibilities, and two-thirds rely on financial aid. PCC plays an outsized role in opening doors for underserved students and preparing Oregonians for family-wage careers. When funding falls short, the risk is not just to programs and services on campus, but to the state&rsquo;s ability to build a skilled workforce and sustain broad-based economic growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The College&rsquo;s expenses outpaced revenues by $26 million last year. With revenues constrained and costs rising, PCC has already made $14.7 million in reductions to balance its 2025&ndash;27 biennium budget and is now facing an additional $21 million in cuts for the 2027&ndash;29 biennium. Long-term planning is made even more difficult by growing uncertainty around federal funding, creating further instability for institutions that Oregon depends on to expand opportunity, strengthen workforce development, and support long-term economic resilience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The stakes are high because PCC is far more than a college system, it is a major economic engine for the region and the state. A recent economic impact study found that PCC contributes $2.3 billion to the regional economy and supports 25,314 jobs. The same study found that students gain about $5.10 in higher future earnings for every $1 invested in their education. Across Oregon&rsquo;s 17 community colleges, the impact is even greater: together they generate $9.6 billion in annual economic activity statewide and support roughly 118,000 jobs. Continued underinvestment in PCC and community colleges does not just strain campuses, it weakens Oregon&rsquo;s workforce pipeline, limits economic opportunity, and puts at risk one of the state&rsquo;s strongest returns on public investment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Higher education institutions across Oregon continue to face serious fiscal challenges,&rdquo; Bennings added. &ldquo;PCC is proud to play a vital role in creating opportunity, strengthening the workforce and supporting the regional and state economy, and it is important that we continue working together to ensure community colleges have the resources needed to sustain that impact.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[PCC sets spring schedule, awaits decision by faculty union]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; Portland Community College is planning for spring term instruction to maintain a clear and reliable start. The college&rsquo;s current approach is a slightly condensed 10-week schedule, with most classes beginning on April 6. This allows PCC to keep published start and end dates in place while supporting continuity for students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Maintaining this approach depends on reaching an agreement with the Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals (FFAP) and resuming normal operations by March 31. Because the situation is now so urgent, the college believes it is critically important to come together around a fair package and move forward in a way that provides stability for students and the future of PCC.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;If delays extend past March 31, the college will have to restructure over 4,000 course sections, affecting faculty schedules and operational timelines. This would potentially prolong the spring term, creating a cascading effect for the next 4 terms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Changes of this scale affect course availability, the number of sections ultimately offered, and the certainty of teaching assignments &ndash; particularly for part-time faculty whose schedules are determined term-by-term and who rely on consistent teaching opportunities each quarter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;In addition, current enrollment trends have already begun to shift during this period, with the college noting a 10% decline for the spring term attributed to the ongoing strike. This may further influence how many sections can be supported this spring and beyond.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;And if this strike results in another delay to the spring term, the uncertainty for students will likely force them to seek other educational options, leading to even lower enrollment, which translates directly into less revenue, program eliminations, and layoffs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;The immediate and long-term impacts of this disruption are being felt across our community, particularly by students,&rdquo; says Jennifer Ernst, Vice President of Academic Affairs. &ldquo;The way to reduce those impacts now is to come to a timely resolution and get our faculty back to instruction.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The current package, shared below, returning to work comes with a one-time payment, and the sooner everyone returns, the sooner the increased salaries and other benefits become activated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[PCC, classified union reach tentative agreement to end strike]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; Portland Community College and its Federation of Classified Employees (FCE) union have reached a tentative agreement, marking an important step toward stability for the college and its employees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;In summary, the agreement includes a 0% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for this year and 5% for 2026-27. Classified employees will also receive a $1,350 lump sum payment upon ratification of the agreement on the next payroll cycle and be able to cash out of up to 40 vacation hours. PCC has approximately 700 classified employees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Bargaining with the Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals (FFAP) continues and the college leadership feels a deal is also very close. A remaining topic under discussion is compensation related to strike time. As a publicly funded agency, PCC maintains that they will not spend tax dollars for people who do not provide the services for which they're compensated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PCC President Dr. Adrien Bennings said the agreement comes at a time of significant financial pressure for higher education institutions in Oregon and across the country. Rising costs, uncertainty around future state and federal funding, and enrollment declines following the COVID-19 pandemic have caused expenditures to significantly outpace revenue for many colleges and universities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in returning to the table and working toward a resolution,&rdquo; said Bennings. &ldquo;We are pleased to have reached an agreement with our classified union. This outcome reflects the value of continued dialogue and good-faith collaboration. It also underscores the ongoing challenge community colleges face in Oregon and across the nation, where state funding has not kept pace with the true cost of delivering high-quality instruction and the support students need to succeed.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Bennings added that while the tentative agreement provides stability moving forward, PCC continues to face significant fiscal pressures. Like many colleges and universities across the state, the college is working to address ongoing structural budget challenges and ensure its long-term sustainability while continuing to serve students and the broader community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;With funding tight and costs rising, PCC recently made $14.7 million in reductions to balance the 2025&ndash;27 biennium budget and is facing an additional $21 million in reductions for the 2027&ndash;29 biennium. Long-term planning is further complicated by growing uncertainty around federal funding, adding another layer of instability for institutions that Oregonians rely on to expand opportunity, strengthen workforce development, and support long-term economic resilience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Even amid these challenges, PCC remains a major economic driver for the region and the state. A recent economic impact study found that PCC adds $2.3 billion to the regional economy and supports 25,314 jobs. The same study found that students see about $5.10 in higher future earnings for every $1 invested in their education. Across Oregon&rsquo;s 17 community colleges, the impact is even greater: together, they generate $9.6 billion in annual economic impact statewide and support roughly 118,000 jobs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Our focus now is to support our employees while protecting the long-term stability of the college and our ability to serve students,&rdquo; Bennings said. &ldquo;Most importantly, we are doing everything in our power to support students and keep their academic progress on track.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Endowed faculty positions are a fundraising priority for WSU Vancouver because they help attract and retain high-quality faculty and strengthen academic programs aligned with regional workforce needs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Endowed faculty fellowships play a critical role in recruiting and retaining exceptional educators,&rdquo; said Jenni Sandstrom, academic director of the Carson College of Business at WSU Vancouver. &ldquo;This fellowship will enhance our accounting program and support faculty who make a direct impact on student success and engagement with the business community.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fellowship reflects Opsahl Dawson&rsquo;s long-standing connection to Southwest Washington and its interest in supporting the accounting profession. Aaron Dawson, partner at Opsahl Dawson and a member of the WSU development committee, said the firm sees faculty support as an investment in education and the region&rsquo;s future workforce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The accounting profession runs on talent and dedication, and that starts in classrooms like the ones at WSU Vancouver,&rdquo; Dawson said. &ldquo;Supporting the educators who shape the next generation is something we feel strongly about&mdash;it&rsquo;s good for the community and good for the future of the profession. We&rsquo;re proud to invest in what this campus and its students can become, and hope it inspires others to do the same.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Opsahl Dawson Endowed Accounting Faculty Fellowship will provide ongoing support for a faculty member in accounting, strengthening teaching, mentorship and engagement within the Carson College of Business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Opsahl Dawson also supports an accounting scholarship at WSU Vancouver and has sponsored the campus&rsquo;s annual Notable Alumni Award since its inception in 2014.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Portland Community College advances 5% COLA in effort to reach agreement]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; Portland Community College has formally advanced a revised compensation proposal to union leadership, as the faculty and classified strike enters its third week.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The proposal includes a 2% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in the first year of the contract and a 3% COLA in the second year, along with increased contributions to employee healthcare plans. This brings the total COLA of the current PCC contract up to 19% across 4 years (PCC previously awarded compounding 6% and 8% COLAs, plus step increases).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;College leadership emphasized that this proposal reflects continued, significant movement by management at the bargaining table and a clear effort to balance support for employees with the College&rsquo;s responsibility to students and long-term financial sustainability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;We are optimistic about this competitive offer and eager to reach an agreement with both negotiation teams,&rdquo; said PCC President Adrien Bennings. &ldquo;Continuing to place our students in a prolonged state of uncertainty is untenable for their success.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The advancement of this proposal comes at a critical time for the College. PCC is currently experiencing a 4.2% decline in student headcount and a 3.4% decline in full-time equivalent enrollment compared to this time last year. College leaders are also aware of students exploring transfer options due to uncertainty surrounding the spring term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;The PCC team is working to reach an agreement that allows us to move forward together as an institution while ensuring students can continue their education without disruption,&rdquo; said PCC Board of Director Gina Sanchez Roletto. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d expect and hope that students support their instructors during this time. Instructors and staff are the front line of education, and at the same time I hope the public is continuing to reach out to state legislators to continue advocacy for education funding.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Due to PCC&rsquo;s quarter-based academic calendar, prolonged uncertainty can have cascading impacts on registration timelines, financial aid disbursement, and student progress. If union leadership does not agree to this offer tonight, the College is prepared to explore options for delaying spring term to April 6.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;We believe there is still a path forward,&rdquo; Bennings added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;With a critical deadline approaching, reaching an agreement with striking unions by Monday is essential to avoid disruptions to spring term.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Portland, OR &mdash; As Portland Community College continues mediation efforts with faculty and classified unions, college leadership is underscoring the importance of reaching a tentative agreement by Monday to keep the spring term on track and minimize disruption for students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Right now, PCC still expects spring term to begin as scheduled. However, the timing of a resolution is critical and the timeline for finalizing grades and resolving outstanding coursework for winter term has been significantly shortened.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;If an agreement is reached by Monday, the College can move forward with processing to transition between terms,&rdquo; said Dr. Jennifer Ernst, Vice President of Academic Affairs. &ldquo;This approach allows the majority of students to stay on track.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;A delay to the start of the spring term could result in a week-long delay in financial aid disbursements for all students. Right now the College is preparing for an impact to approximately one in seven students&rsquo; aid timelines due to the compressed grading period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The College is working to prioritize the least disruptive path for the greatest number of students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The College is preparing contingency plans to ensure continuity of instruction and student support should faculty not return to work by Tuesday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;We are committed to supporting our students through this moment and remain focused on reaching an agreement that allows us to move forward together,&rdquo; Ernst added.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Updates will continue to be shared as more information becomes available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;About Portland Community College&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; Founded in 1961, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.pcc.edu" style="text-decoration-line: none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Portland Community College&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; is the largest post-secondary institution in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oregon and provides training, degree and certificate completion, and lifelong learning to more than 57,000 full- and part-time students in Multnomah, Washington, Yamhill, Clackamas, and Columbia counties&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.

				<headline><![CDATA[Clackamas Community College hosts Financial Aid and Scholarship Workshop (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;OREGON CITY &ndash; Clackamas Community College invites students and their families to attend the CCC Financial Aid and Scholarship Application Workshop on April 9, 4:30-6:30 p.m., at the college&rsquo;s Oregon City campus in the Wacheno Welcome Center. This event is designed to help students navigate the financial aid process, including the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), ORSAA (Oregon Student Aid Application) and the CCC scholarship application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The FAFSA determines students' eligibility for federal grants, loans and work-study programs. The ORSAA provides access to state-based financial aid for students who are not eligible to complete the FAFSA. Submitting one of these applications also helps students qualify for programs such as the Oregon Promise, which helps many recent high school graduates attend community college with little tuition cost.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CCC&rsquo;s financial aid and scholarship team will guide attendees and ensure they have the support they need to complete these essential applications. Completing the FAFSA or ORSAA is the first step to unlocking financial support that can make college more affordable, including grants that do not need to be repaid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why attend?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Expert assistance: Financial aid staff will be available to provide personalized support.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Scholarship opportunities: Learn more about applying for CCC Foundation scholarships. The average scholarship is more than $2,000, and one in three applicants receives a scholarship. The deadline to apply is April 15.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Space is limited. To register, visit &lt;a href="https://financial-aid-workshop.eventbrite.com"&gt;https://financial-aid-workshop.eventbrite.com&lt;/a&gt;. For questions, email &lt;a href="mailto:finaid@clackamas.edu"&gt;finaid@clackamas.edu&lt;/a&gt; or call 503-594-6082.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Clark College Address Highlights Achievements, Challenges, and Regional Impact at the 2026 State of the College Address (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, Wash. &mdash;&amp;nbsp;Clark College President Dr. Karin Edwards delivered the annual State of the College address on March 12&amp;nbsp;in Gaiser Student Center.&amp;nbsp;The address provides an opportunity to share the progress, challenges, and vision guiding the college forward, offering an overview of the institution&rsquo;s current priorities, student success initiatives, financial outlook, and strategic direction.&amp;nbsp;It brought together students, faculty, staff, elected officials, community partners, and education supporters to reflect on the college&rsquo;s achievements and share its vision moving forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;President Edwards highlighted the college&rsquo;s resilience, growth, and impact on student success, workforce partnerships, and the broader Southwest Washington community.&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;Clark College remains true, steadfast, and unwavering in our mission to cultivate an inclusive, equitable, and vibrant community that educates, elevates, and empowers individuals to achieve their personal and professional goals,&rdquo; Dr. Edwards said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alijah Machida, president of the Associated Students of Clark College (ASCC)&lt;/strong&gt;, kicked off the event with a report on increased student participation in college clubs and ASCC&rsquo;s efforts to increase student engagement in on-campus activities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lindsey Quiroz, a student and chapter president of Clark&rsquo;s Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;shared her experience of re-enrolling at Clark to pursue a career in medicine after facing personal loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. She credited the support of her professors and mentors in PTK for helping her continue her educational journey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;President Edwards began her address by sharing that the college&rsquo;s official reaccreditation was&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;reaffirmed from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;This process occurs every seven years and recognizes educational institutions for performance, integrity, and quality across all areas of the institution. The college was commended for the strength of its student onboarding experience, its outstanding tutoring program, and a campus culture deeply committed to student belonging, achievement, and success.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Programs across campus have also been reaccredited by their respective accreditation commissions, including Addiction Counseling, Automotive, Dental Hygiene, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Pharmacy Tech, and Child &amp;amp; Family Studies. The Dental Hygiene program received the highest level of approval in its reaccreditation, and the Teacher Education program received its first full accreditation by the Professional Educator Standards Board last November.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clark College continues to prepare students for in-demand careers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The college currently&amp;nbsp;offers more than 100 degrees and certificate programs, including six bachelor's degrees in Applied Management, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Dental Hygiene, Human Services, and Teacher Education.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enrollment&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;has increased by 32% this academic year compared with 2024-25.&amp;nbsp;Approximately 9,828 students enrolled during the fall and winter terms &mdash; the largest enrollment since the pandemic. 700 of those students are members of the PTK Honor Society, and 1,602 made the Vice President&rsquo;s List with a GPA of 3.75 or higher.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New programs and academic offerings&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;are driven by&amp;nbsp;community needs and workforce demands. This year, the college launched its Surgical Technician program &mdash; the first of its kind in Southwest Washington &mdash; with a full cohort and a waitlist for the fall term. Clark also launched its first Bachelor of Science degree in computer science to help meet the region&rsquo;s growing demand for skilled technology professionals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Advanced Manufacturing program welcomed its first cohort in the fall and celebrated the opening of the Advanced Manufacturing Center at Boschma Farms in January, a 49,000-square-foot facility offering an associate in applied science in Integrated Technician and certificate programs in Intro to Manufacturing and Manufacturing Operator. The college is also in the approval process for a Construction Management program and seeks to add additional programs in Clean Energy, Machining, and Radiologic Technology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community partnerships and philanthropy&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;are essential in supporting student and college needs.&amp;nbsp;President Edwards expressed appreciation for the ongoing support of the&lt;strong&gt; Clark College Foundation&lt;/strong&gt; and its donors, which&amp;nbsp;distributed $1.8 million in scholarships and grants and $5.1 million in total support to Clark College during the 2024-25 academic year. This allowed more than 700 students to receive direct financial assistance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition, Clark has received over $10 million in federal, state, and local grants, contracts, and allocations. This includes a $78,000 Job Skills Program grant for the Continuing and Community Education program, which supports local manufacturing companies transitioning toward a culture of improvement and leadership development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Clark College continues to play a significant role in the regional economy. According to a 2025 economic impact study, Clark contributed &lt;strong&gt;$656 million in income &lt;/strong&gt;to the area in 2023-24 and supported &lt;strong&gt;7,159 jobs&lt;/strong&gt;&mdash;equivalent to &lt;strong&gt;one out of every 40 jobs in the region&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;The study also found that the college delivers&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;$1 billion in social benefits&lt;/strong&gt;, representing a strong return on investment for students, taxpayers, and the community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Looking ahead,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;the college remains focused on expanding opportunity, strengthening workforce pathways, and ensuring students have the resources they need to succeed. Dr. Edwards thanked the Clark College community and its partners for their dedication and shared commitment to student success, noting that the college&rsquo;s achievements reflect the strength of a community that believes deeply in the power of education.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:22.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Clark College&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Founded in 1933, Clark College is&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Southwest Washington&rsquo;s largest public institution of higher education&lt;/strong&gt;, serving almost 10,000 students per term.

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;VANCOUVER, Wash.&mdash;&amp;nbsp;Phi&amp;nbsp;Theta&amp;nbsp;Kappa&amp;nbsp;Honor&amp;nbsp;Society&amp;nbsp;(PTK)&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;recently&amp;nbsp;named&amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Karin&amp;nbsp;Edwards,&amp;nbsp;President&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;Clark College,&amp;nbsp;as the recipient&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;the 2026 Shirley&amp;nbsp;B.&amp;nbsp;Gordon&amp;nbsp;Award&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;Distinction,&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;Society&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;highest&amp;nbsp;honor for community college presidents. This award&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;named&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;honor&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;late&amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Shirley&amp;nbsp;B. Gordon,&amp;nbsp;Phi&amp;nbsp;Theta&amp;nbsp;Kappa&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;longest-serving&amp;nbsp;Board&amp;nbsp;Chairand&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;lifelong&amp;nbsp;advocate&amp;nbsp;for community college students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Dr. Edwards will be recognized during PTK Catalyst,&amp;nbsp;Phi&amp;nbsp;Theta&amp;nbsp;Kappa&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;annual&amp;nbsp;international&amp;nbsp;convention on March 27, in Baltimore, Maryland.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;&ldquo;I am surprised, honored, and deeply grateful for this award and its recognition,&rdquo; said Dr. Edwards. &ldquo;I found my niche in community colleges over 35 years ago and never look back.&amp;nbsp;Our students are phenomenal, and it is my delight to dismantle systems that create barriers for them, providing them support, believing in them, challenging them, and celebrating their successes. That is been my focus.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The Shirley B. Gordon Award&amp;nbsp;of Distinction honors&amp;nbsp;college&amp;nbsp;presidents&amp;nbsp;who have demonstrated sustained, exceptional commitment&amp;nbsp;to student success through academic excellence, leadership development, and&amp;nbsp;access to opportunity. Nominees must&amp;nbsp;have served&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;their&amp;nbsp;role&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;least&amp;nbsp;five&amp;nbsp;years&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;selected&amp;nbsp;based&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;nominations&amp;nbsp;submitted by Phi Theta Kappa students&amp;nbsp;on their campus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;This award is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the highest-achieving students at Clark College. It reflects not only their academic success, but their recognition of Dr. Edwards&rsquo; leadership and her commitment to creating opportunity for all students. Through her work, she strengthens pathways to completion, transfer, and meaningful careers -- and her students see that impact every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&ldquo;Dr. Edwards goes above and beyond to be engaged in our Alpha Sigma Phi chapter,&rdquo; said PTK Chapter President, Lindsey Quiroz. &ldquo;She encourages our students to actively pursue service and leadership, and how getting involved can make a huge difference in our academic journeys and our individual success stories.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Quiroz also noted that&amp;nbsp;Dr. Edwards engaged the students to believe that there is hope no matter their background and diversity of our cultures, and that they should be seen, recognized, and celebrated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Since assuming the presidency of Clark College in 2020, Dr. Edwards has been recognized&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;leadership style&amp;nbsp;definedby presence, authenticity, and a&amp;nbsp;deep&amp;nbsp;respect for&amp;nbsp;students' lived experiences.&amp;nbsp;Students&amp;nbsp;describe&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;president&amp;nbsp;who&amp;nbsp;shows&amp;nbsp;up&amp;nbsp;inmeaningful&amp;nbsp;ways&mdash;listening carefully, engaging directly, and reinforcing the belief that every student&rsquo;s story&amp;nbsp;matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Throughout&amp;nbsp;her&amp;nbsp;presidency,&amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Edwards&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;emphasized&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;student&amp;nbsp;success&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;built through connection&amp;nbsp;as&amp;nbsp;much&amp;nbsp;ascurriculum. Her&amp;nbsp;leadership&amp;nbsp;reflects&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;belief&amp;nbsp;that colleges must be&amp;nbsp;places&amp;nbsp;where&amp;nbsp;students&amp;nbsp;feel&amp;nbsp;seen,&amp;nbsp;encouraged,&amp;nbsp;andchallenged&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;grow.&amp;nbsp;Under&amp;nbsp;her&amp;nbsp;direction,&amp;nbsp;Clark&amp;nbsp;College&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;fostered&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;culture&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;values&amp;nbsp;academic&amp;nbsp;achievement&amp;nbsp;alongsideservice, leadership, and community engagement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Students point to Dr. Edwards&rsquo;s willingness to invest time and attention as a defining feature&amp;nbsp;of her leadership. She is known for engaging directly with student leaders, encouraging&amp;nbsp;thoughtful&amp;nbsp;goal&amp;nbsp;setting,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;reinforcing&amp;nbsp;the importanceof work&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;benefits the&amp;nbsp;broader campus and community. By sharing her own educational journey, including moments of challenge and perseverance, she has helped students see possibility in their own paths&amp;nbsp;forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Edwards&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;leadership&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;grounded&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;advocacy&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;accountability.&amp;nbsp;She&amp;nbsp;consistently speaks&amp;nbsp;on behalf&amp;nbsp;of students&amp;nbsp;in institutional&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;community&amp;nbsp;settings, ensuring&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;their&amp;nbsp;voices&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;represented and their&amp;nbsp;achievements&amp;nbsp;recognized.&amp;nbsp;Herpresence&amp;nbsp;and commitment&amp;nbsp;have&amp;nbsp;helped strengthen Clark&amp;nbsp;College&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;reputation as&amp;nbsp;an&amp;nbsp;institution where&amp;nbsp;excellence, equity, and student leadership are not aspirational&amp;nbsp;ideals,&amp;nbsp;but lived&amp;nbsp;values.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;&ldquo;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Edwards&amp;nbsp;leads&amp;nbsp;with&amp;nbsp;empathy,&amp;nbsp;clarity,&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;conviction,&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;said&amp;nbsp;Dr.&amp;nbsp;Lynn&amp;nbsp;Tincher-Ladner, President&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;CEO&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;Phi&amp;nbsp;ThetaKappa.&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;Students&amp;nbsp;know&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;she&amp;nbsp;believes&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;them&mdash;not&amp;nbsp;abstractly, but&amp;nbsp;personally.&amp;nbsp;This&amp;nbsp;recognition reflects&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;deep trust and respect&amp;nbsp;students&amp;nbsp;have&amp;nbsp;for a president who consistently shows up on their behalf.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[PCC unions announce strike beginning March 11; PCC plans to continue negotiations and support students]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; Portland Community College&rsquo;s Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals (FFAP) and the Federation of Classified Employees (FCE) have announced they are striking, effective Wednesday, March 11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The college is operating remotely through until the end of the strike. Mediation will resume on Monday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PCC remains committed to reaching agreements and continues to meet with union leadership. The college is focused on reaching agreements that are fair, sustainable, and aligned with long-term institutional stability.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;While we are disappointed in these developments, Portland Community College remains committed to reaching agreements and will continue meeting with union leadership in good faith,&rdquo; said PCC President Adrien Bennings. &ldquo;Our focus is a settlement that is fair and sustainable, one that supports our employees while protecting the long-term stability of the college and our ability to serve students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Most importantly, we are doing everything in our power to support students and keep their academic progress on track,&rdquo; she added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Context: negotiations amid significant financial pressures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;These negotiations are occurring amid a challenging financial outlook for higher education. Rising costs, uncertainty around future state and federal funding, and enrollment declines following the COVID-19 pandemic have caused expenditures to significantly outpace revenue for many institutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PCC recently made $14.7 million in reductions to balance the 2025&ndash;27 biennium&rsquo;s budget and is facing an additional $21 million in reductions for the 2027&ndash;2029 biennium. Long-term planning is further complicated by growing uncertainty around federal funding, adding another layer of instability for institutions that Oregonians rely on to expand opportunity, strengthen workforce development, and support long-term economic resilience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;This moment also highlights a persistent reality across Oregon and the nation: state funding for community colleges has not kept pace with the true cost of delivering high-quality instruction, career and technical training, and the wraparound supports many students need to succeed. That gap limits colleges&rsquo; ability to fully serve students, especially those balancing work, caregiving responsibilities, or financial hardship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Even in these constraints, PCC is committed to distributing available resources as equitably as possible while maintaining its mission of serving students and the community. The college hopes to find a settlement that maintains that mission while finding an equitable solution for employees&rsquo; compensation and benefits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;As background, the current collective bargaining agreement remains in effect for its full term (September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2027). This is a mid-term reopener and is focused on wages and benefits only.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What the strike may mean for students&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PCC is actively preparing to ensure continuity in instruction, advising, financial aid support, and other essential services so that students&rsquo; academic progress stays on track.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The strike is expected to impact the end of winter term and could result in delays to grades being posted. Faculty will grade students&rsquo; work and staff will process grades when the strike ends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;During the strike, PCC plans to offer classes and student services to the fullest extent possible. The college is taking steps to support students and help them complete coursework and academic requirements on time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Staff will process spring financial aid as quickly as possible once winter grades are posted and spring courses are successfully underway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;If the strike impacts spring term, which begins March 30, students have a period in which to request a refund at the beginning of the term. That period may be extended depending on the situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:cambria,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;PCC will continue to provide updates to students, employees, and the community as more information becomes available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

PCC has four comprehensive campuses, 10 education centers or areas served, and approximately 200 community locations in the Portland metropolitan area.

				<headline><![CDATA[Chemeketa Partners with Pacific University to Create New Pharmacy Career Pathway]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Agreement gives Chemeketa students a streamlined route to a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and careers in Oregon&rsquo;s growing healthcare workforce&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore., March 10, 2026&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&mdash; Students interested in pursuing careers as pharmacists now have a clearer path forward thanks to a new partnership between Chemeketa Community College and Pacific University. The agreement establishes a pharmacy track that allows Chemeketa students to complete their pre-pharmacy coursework locally before transferring into Pacific University&rsquo;s Doctor of Pharmacy program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Beginning in Spring 2026, Chemeketa students enrolled in the pharmacy pathway will be able to complete foundational science and prerequisite coursework at Chemeketa before transitioning to Pacific University&rsquo;s School of Pharmacy at its Hillsboro Campus. Students may then continue into either Pacific&rsquo;s accelerated three-year Doctor of Pharmacy program or its extended five-year pathway designed for students who need additional flexibility while working or balancing family commitments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;The partnership is part of a broader collaboration that also includes Umpqua Community College and reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Oregon&rsquo;s healthcare workforce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;&ldquo;This new pathway reflects the power of collaboration between community colleges and universities to expand opportunities for students,&rdquo; said Jessica Howard, Ph.D., President and CEO of Chemeketa Community College. &ldquo;Students can begin their journey here at Chemeketa with strong academic preparation and support, then move seamlessly into Pacific University&rsquo;s pharmacy program. Partnerships like this help remove barriers, strengthen the healthcare workforce, and allow more local students to pursue meaningful careers that serve their communities.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Students participating in the pathway will benefit from early engagement with Pacific University, including professional development opportunities, personalized application support, and waived application fees. Participants may also enroll in Pacific&rsquo;s Jump Start Early Assurance Program, which provides conditional admission to the School of Pharmacy and access to faculty and special programming before transferring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Demand for pharmacists remains strong nationwide and in Oregon. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for pharmacists are projected to grow by five percent through 2034, while workforce projections indicate a nationwide shortage of pharmacists in the coming decade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Pacific University&rsquo;s School of Pharmacy offers one of the region&rsquo;s few accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy programs and introduced the nation&rsquo;s first extended five-year PharmD pathway in 2023 to provide greater flexibility for working students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Through this new pathway, Chemeketa students will have a clearly defined route from community college coursework to an advanced healthcare degree, helping meet critical workforce needs while expanding access to high-demand medical careers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;####&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;For more than 55 years, Chemeketa Community College has committed itself to transforming lives and our community through exceptional learning experiences in the Mid-Willamette Valley. As the second largest multi-campus district in Oregon, Chemeketa serves more than 18,000 students annually at its Salem and Yamhill Valley campuses, as well as Brooks, Eola, Winema, Dallas, Woodburn and Chemeketa Center for Business and Industry (CCBI).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8pt"&gt;Chemeketa Community College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and educational institution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;The program takes audiences on a musical journey across continents, cultures, and centuries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strings of Memory&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt; explores how composers express national identity, tradition, and deep human emotion through classical music, weaving together the passionate musical voices of Mexico and the Arab world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;The concert features Jos&eacute; Pablo Moncayo&rsquo;s emotionally charged &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Viola Sonata&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt; and Dia Succari&rsquo;s rhythmically vibrant &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;5 Syrian Dances&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;, alongside two solo works&mdash;one rooted in Mexican musical tradition and another inspired by Arab heritage. Together, the program blends familiar classical elements with unexpected cultural influences, offering listeners a vibrant global perspective on the classical repertoire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;Melissa Terrall previously performed a classical Mexican piano concert at Chemeketa that drew special recognition and attendance from representatives of the Mexican Consulate, highlighting the college&rsquo;s role in celebrating diverse musical traditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt;From fiery melodies to lyrical reflections, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strings of Memory&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt"&gt; invites audiences to experience the stories, rhythms, and emotions that connect cultures across borders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Fatal Crash &ndash; Douglas County &ndash; Interstate 5]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. (7 April 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; On Monday, April 6, 2026, at 3 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a two-vehicle fatal crash on Interstate 5 near milepost 90 in Douglas County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The preliminary investigation indicated a white Freightliner commercial motor vehicle hauling a loaded trailer, operated by Brenden Larry Christensen (61) of San Diego (CA), had stalled on an uphill grade in the outside lane while traveling northbound on I-5 near Canyonville. The stalled Freightliner was struck by a maroon Honda CRV, operated by Davin Jack Smith (18) of El Sobrante (CA), causing the Honda and cargo in the Freightliner to catch fire. The CMV had stalled several times prior to the collision while climbing the grade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The operator of the Honda (D. Smith) was pronounced deceased at the scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Honda passengers, Lawrence Wayne Smith, Jr. (60) and Annika Jace Smith (18), both of El Sobrante (CA), were transported by air ambulance to area hospitals with serious injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Honda passenger, Ivan Amadeo Gonzalez (19) of Hercules (CA) was transported to an area hospital by ground ambulance with reported minor injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The operator and two passengers in the Honda (D. Smith, L. Smith Jr., and A. Smith) are a father and twin children. The third passenger, Gonzalez, is a family friend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The operator of the Freightliner (Christensen) was not injured. Impairment is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash and Christensen was arrested for DUII and manslaughter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highway was impacted for approximately three hours during the on-scene investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
OSP was assisted by the Douglas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, Canyonville Fire Department, Glendale Valley Fire Department, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland Fire &amp;amp; Rescue responded to reports of a van completely involved in fire with a reported 6 trapped occupants yesterday evening just before 8 PM. BOEC dispatchers received multiple calls from passerby vehicles that a van under I5 on Columbia Blvd near Delta Park indicating a van was completely engulfed in flames. The heavy smoke column rising into the sky made it evident to the arriving crews that there was a very significant fire and if accurate and occupants were trapped, lives were in jeopardy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Truck 8 arrived and confirmed the fire and indicated they were going to perform extinguishment tasks first and extricate after the flames were suppressed. Engine 14 arrived and assumed command of the incident with the crew of Engine 14 assisting Truck 8 with the extinguishment of the flames. Engine 24 also arrived on scene and assisted in task required to address the emergency including fire suppression and medical triage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, with the assistance of a local community member, all occupants were safely out of the vehicle at the time the hose lines began to cool and extinguish the fire. While none of the occupants received any burn injuries, each was significantly injured because of the collision that occurred and was the cause of the fire. The details of the crash and cause are unknown currently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A strike team of 5 ambulances was requested with the large number of injured occupants and AMR quickly began to direct ambulance crews to the scene. All occupants were trauma system entries because of the significance of the incident with varying degrees of injuries including broken bones and many cuts, scrapes, and other injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This incident drew the resources of 3 different fire stations totaling 14 members of PF&amp;amp;R as well as the crews of 5 ambulances and an AMR supervisor to provide medical assistance and transport to area hospitals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PF&amp;amp;R would like to not only thank AMR for their assistance in this incident but the dispatchers at BOEC and the responding members of PPB keeping us safe as we operated along with performing their investigative work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Detectives are asking for the public&rsquo;s help as they continue to investigate the armed robbery of a jewelry store.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Around 6:08 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, 2026, two men walked into Kay Jewelers at 9312 SW Washington Square Road wearing masks and gloves, armed with a handgun and a hammer. One of the suspects began immediately smashing a glass case while the other suspect pointed the handgun at people in the store. Several employees and customers were there, and they hid for their safety. Thankfully, shots were never fired and nobody was hurt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The suspects quickly left with an undisclosed amount of jewelry and drove away in a black Honda Accord, heading north on Highway 217. Officers from neighboring jurisdictions began pursuing the suspects, but the driver refused to stop and continued driving into Portland. At one point, the driver hit other cars near NW 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Avenue and West Burnside while eluding officers, causing minor property damage. The driver kept going and crossed into Vancouver, Washington. The suspects were not immediately found.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are grateful nobody was hurt, and we understand the concern from some witnesses in the area, who initially mistook the sound of glass breaking for gunfire. We appreciate the quick response from our partners at Beaverton Police, the Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and the Portland Police Bureau as the suspects drove away.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While a specific suspect description is not available, the men were wearing dark clothing, masks and gloves, and were carrying a backpack, hammer and handgun. Investigators believe they would have caught the attention of other shoppers in the area, and witnesses may have captured them on cell phone or dash cam video. If you saw the suspects enter or leave the mall, or captured video that may help, please contact detectives at &lt;a href="mailto:tips@tigard-or.gov"&gt;tips@tigard-or.gov&lt;/a&gt; or 503-718-COPS.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Bureau of Emergency Communications/911 Earns Elite Accreditation (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Portland Bureau of Emergency Communications (BOEC) has been designated as an Accredited Center of Excellence (ACE) in Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) through the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED). This prestigious recognition places BOEC among an elite group of 911 centers worldwide committed to delivering the highest standard of emergency response.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The ACE designation is a rare achievement. Fewer than 10 percent of the 4,200+ 911 agencies worldwide that use these protocols hold ACE status. It reflects exceptional adherence to standardized protocols, consistent quality assurance, and a demonstrated commitment to caring for the community. Despite not being previously accredited, BOEC has consistently provided excellent service to the community, handling approximately 600,000 emergency calls each year with professionalism, expertise, and care. Third-party accreditation confirms BOEC&rsquo;s performance and dedication to excellence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;This accreditation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team &ndash; from the frontline call takers and dispatchers to the supportive efforts of the quality assurance, training, and leadership teams,&rdquo; said BOEC Interim Director Steve Mawdsley. &ldquo;Even before achieving ACE status, our staff delivered outstanding service to our community, often under challenging circumstances. Accreditation now affirms what we&rsquo;ve always known&mdash;that BOEC is among the best in the business.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To be an ACE agency, BOEC had to meet 20 points of accreditation and undergo a rigorous process of aligning its operations with industry best practices, including implementing advanced medical protocols to ensure a consistent standard of care for every caller and patient. To maintain the designation, BOEC must report its performance quarterly and maintain the accredited performance level. &ldquo;The award isn&rsquo;t a &lsquo;one and done.&rsquo; We have to continuously provide that high level of service to maintain accreditation,&rdquo; Quality Assurance Manager Ryan DesJardins said. &ldquo;This award demonstrates how much our dispatchers desire to provide the highest standard of care to our community. The entire bureau had to be in sync and focused on reaching that level of performance and be dedicated to remaining there.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;This accreditation confirms that life-saving care begins the moment a 911 call is placed," said Multnomah County Health Officer Dr. Richard Bruno. "By adhering to these rigorous clinical standards, BOEC ensures our community members receive the highest level of evidence-based support during their most critical moments. This vital achievement strengthens our entire emergency medical system and will continue to save lives.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;This milestone speaks to the dedication and resilience of the BOEC team, who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our community. Portlanders can feel confident knowing their emergency calls are handled with the highest level of professionalism,&rdquo; said City Administrator Raymond Lee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;I am so proud of the BOEC team for achieving this milestone. What a privilege to witness theirs, and our community&rsquo;s collective success, knowing that my roots go very deep in 911 and in BOEC,&rdquo; said Deputy City Administrator for the Public Safety Service Area Bob Cozzie, who previously led BOEC.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
BOEC&rsquo;s achievement of accreditation represents a bright future for emergency communications in Portland. The bureau will continue its focus on innovation, training, and community-centered service to maintain its status as a leader in the 911 field and pursuing accreditation in fire and police disciplines.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, WA &mdash; At approximately 12:27 PM this afternoon, the Vancouver Fire Department responded to a mutual aid request from Clark-Cowlitz Fire and Rescue for a reported fire involving three large vessels and a dock at 70360 Columbia River Highway, identified as Goble Marina.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In response to the request, the Vancouver Fire Department deployed Fire Boat 1 to assist with firefighting operations on the Columbia River. Upon arrival, Fire Boat 1 operated in a support role, coordinating with primary suppression units already engaged in active firefighting efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fire Boat 24 from Clark-Cowlitz Fire and Rescue and Fire Boat 43 from Scappoose Fire were the primary units responsible for fire suppression operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On April 4, 2026, the Lincoln County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office responded to a singleâ'vehicle crash in the 2400 block of East Logsden Road in Siletz, Oregon. The caller reported that a pickup truck had left the roadway and collided with a barn on an adjacent property.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies arrived on scene alongside Siletz Valley Fire personnel and located the driver, 47â'yearâ'old Adam Clark of Logsden, Oregon, deceased inside the vehicle. Based on the investigation, Deputies determined there was no indication of involvement by any other vehicle or individuals. Evidence at the scene also showed that the pickup did not appear to have slowed prior to leaving the roadway. Mr. Clark was confirmed to be the sole occupant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk226113568"&gt;On Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., a Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputy located a 1994 Toyota Camry linked to a recent burglary, with two people inside, driving through Aloha. &lt;/a&gt;The deputy attempted to stop the driver, but the driver started to elude. The deputy initiated a pursuit while requesting assistance from other deputies and officers in the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Within minutes, the deputy could see traffic congestion ahead and terminated the pursuit for safety. The driver of the Camry continued at a high rate of speed. At the same time, Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputies and Beaverton Police Department officers arrived to assist, along with a drone from the Drone as First Responder (DFR) program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With DFR overhead, the drone operator was notified that the Camry passenger got out of the car near the intersection of SW Farmington Road and SW Kinnaman Road, while the driver sped off. The DFR operator located the vehicle's passenger and directed deputies to her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dispatch began receiving calls of a traffic crash involving the Camry at SW Farmington Road and SW 141&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; Avenue in Beaverton. Callers reported that the driver of the Camry had run from the scene. Deputies arrived at the crash and discovered the Camry driver had hit a car head-on, pushing it into another car. Victims inside both vehicles sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene by medical personnel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies and officers contained the area, and DFR launched a second drone to search for the running driver. The DFR operator located the driver moving through residential yards and coordinated with patrol units to take him into custody.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies arrested the driver, 32-year-old Jesus Cisneros-Vite of Beaverton, and transported him to the Washington County Jail. Cisneros-Vite was lodged on the following charges:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Attempt to elude in a vehicle&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Reckless driving&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Hit and run &ndash; two counts&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Criminal mischief&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Felony warrant from the Department of Corrections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have information about this incident and have not spoken to deputies, please contact the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office through non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111, referencing case number 50-26-4502.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LINCOLN COUNTY, Ore. (3 April 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; On Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 7:41 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a single-vehicle fatal crash on Highway 34 near milepost 3 in Lincoln County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The preliminary investigation indicated a maroon Chrysler Sebring, operated by Jacob Hendrick Walton (24) of Troutdale, was traveling westbound on Hwy. 34 near Waldport when the operator lost control of the vehicle and crashed into several trees on the westbound embankment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The passenger, Jack Hendrick Walton (51) of Portland, was pronounced deceased at the scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The operator (Jacob Walton) was transported by Life Flight to an area hospital with serious injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Speed and suspected impairment are believed to have been contributing factors in the crash.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highway was impacted for approximately eight hours during the on-scene investigation. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. (3 April 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; On Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 6:01 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a single-vehicle fatal crash on Interstate 5 near milepost 95 in Douglas County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The preliminary investigation indicated a silver BMW 320, operated by Siayrah Jade Steeley (25) of Salem, was traveling southbound on I-5 when it left the roadway for unknown reasons near the milepost 95 offramp near Canyonville. The vehicle traveled approximately 400 feet on the grassy shoulder before colliding with a tree. The vehicle traveled another 40 feet down the riverbank before coming to a rest and catching fire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The operator of the BMW (Steeley) was pronounced deceased at the scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highway was not impacted by the on-scene investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OSP was assisted by the South Umpqua Fire Department, Douglas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.&lt;br /&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[***Update 4/3/26***   Federal arrest at Marion County Courthouse (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Sheriff&rsquo;s Office has received requests for courthouse footage of the March 26, 2026, federal arrest at the Marion County Courthouse from multiple media outlets following our original media release. The video depicts the arrest by DHS agents on the 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; floor of the Marion County Courthouse. The subject arrested by DHS agents was at the courthouse for a scheduled court appearance for the charges of Unlawful Possession of Cocaine and Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The video shows JSU deputies later escorting Mr. Lopez-Mojica toward a secure portion of the courthouse where he was taken into custody. Mr. Lopez-Mojica was at the courthouse for a scheduled court appearance for the felony charge of Unlawful Use of a Weapon Constituting Domestic Violence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At Sheriff Hunter&rsquo;s request, the video has been posted to &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/hQ0tKZMgCg0"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;. This video includes footage of a physical struggle that occurred during a federal lawâ'enforcement arrest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*******Original Media Release*********&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 26, 2026, at shortly after 8:00 am, agents from the Department of Homeland Security contacted front desk staff at our Administrative Office to notify the Marion County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office Judicial Security Unit (JSU) they were in the Marion County Courthouse to locate and arrest two people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DHS agents provided the JSU supervisor with a copy of a US District Court arrest warrant signed by a U.S. Magistrate Judge commanding the arrest of Daniel Lopez-Mojica, a 39-year-old male. Mr. Lopez-Mojica was scheduled for a court appearance earlier today for a felony criminal proceeding. JSU deputies independently confirmed the arrest warrant was valid and serviceable by local law enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DHS agents advised the second subject they were seeking had an administrative warrant for their arrest and did not request assistance from JSU deputies in serving the warrant. JSU deputies were advised the subject had previously been uncooperative and was likely to resist arrest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The JSU supervisor showed Sheriff Hunter the signed federal arrest warrant and notified him DHS agents were in the courthouse. JSU was instructed to take Mr. Lopez-Mojica into custody for the confirmed federal arrest warrant, consistent with Oregon law.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JSU deputies were present when DHS agents contacted the subject with the administrative warrant in a public area outside of a courtroom. JSU deputies did not participate in the arrest, but were in the immediate vicinity where the arrest occurred to ensure the safety of patrons and staff in the courthouse. JSU deputies witnessed the suspect resist arrest as DHS agents attempted to take him into custody. DHS agents were able to restrain the subject without JSU intervention. After the subject was taken into custody by DHS agents, a JSU deputy was assigned to escort DHS agents through publicly accessible areas as they removed the disorderly arrestee from the courthouse to ensure there were no further disruptions to court operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the disturbance, JSU deputies took Mr. Lopez-Mojica, who was seated nearby, into custody without incident, pursuant to the US District Court arrest warrant. JSU deputies walked Mr. Lopez-Mojica out of the courthouse where he was turned over to federal authorities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sheriff Hunter stated, &ldquo;Our Judicial Security team acted professionally, remaining focused on their mission, providing safety and security to everyone in the courthouse consistent with state and federal law.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) &ndash; Detectives with the Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (MCSO) serving on an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force have arrested a 40-year-old man accused of disseminating child sexual abuse material.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detectives executed a search warrant on Thursday, April 2, 2026, in the 700 block of Southwest Halsey Street in Troutdale and arrested Josiah Coberley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detectives booked Coberley into the Multnomah County Detention Center on 15 counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the first degree.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This investigation began when MCSO received a tip from the National Center for Missing &amp;amp; Exploited Children (NCMEC). Each of the 15 criminal counts corresponds to an individual recording identified during the investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At this stage of the investigation, detectives do not believe the victims are local.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This remains an active investigation. The case will be submitted to the district attorney&rsquo;s office for review.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ICAC program is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces, representing over 5,400 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. These units are dedicated to investigating, prosecuting, and developing effective responses to internet crimes against children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Charges are only allegations, and every arrested person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 133.870 generally prohibits the release of jail booking photos to the public unless it is determined that there is a law enforcement purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Hoodland Fire District to Break Ground on New Main Fire Station Serving Mt. Hood Corridor (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;April 2, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Welches, OR&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; Hoodland Fire District will host a groundbreaking ceremony on &lt;strong&gt;Saturday, April 4, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;, to mark the start of construction on its new main fire station&mdash;an investment that will enhance emergency response capabilities and serve the community for decades to come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ceremony will take place at the future station site and will include remarks from local leadership, project partners, and representatives from the U.S. Forest Service. The event will conclude with a ceremonial turning of dirt involving community dignitaries and project stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This new facility is made possible through the support of district voters, who approved a $19.145 million general obligation bond to fund the project. The station is designed to provide a modern, resilient, and firefighter-focused environment that prioritizes the health, safety, and readiness of emergency responders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This project represents a long-term investment in the safety and resilience of our community,&rdquo; said Scott Kline, Division Chief of Hoodland Fire District. &ldquo;We are grateful to our voters and partners for making this vision a reality.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project is the result of a collaborative effort between Hoodland Fire District and its partners, including Mackenzie (design), Inline Construction (construction manager/general contractor), and Otak (project management). The new station will also support coordinated response efforts with the U.S. Forest Service, strengthening interagency collaboration in protecting the Mt. Hood region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project site carries historical significance, having previously been part of the Clackamas County parks system and home to a community building named in honor of the Dormans, longtime supporters of the Hoodland area. The property is being transferred from Clackamas County to Hoodland Fire District at no cost, reflecting a continued partnership and shared investment in the community&rsquo;s future.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arrest Made After Laser Pointer Directed at Officer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Corvallis, OR &ndash; On March 25, 2026, at approximately 3:05 a.m., a Corvallis Police Sergeant on routine patrol in the 1400 block of NW Monroe Avenue was targeted by a red laser pointer directed at the officer&rsquo;s face and eyes while seated inside a clearly marked patrol SUV. The laser originated from inside a nearby business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The individual responsible, Alexis Blair Mosley, a 26-year-old of Corvallis resident employed at the business, retreated to the back of the business and initially refused to exit. Following an investigation, the officer identified the individual, and on March 26, 2026, the suspect was arrested without incident at their residence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The individual was arrested for Unlawful Directing of Light from a Laser Pointer (ORS 163.709), a Class A misdemeanor under Oregon law.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Public Safety Reminder&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Corvallis Police Department is using this incident as an opportunity to remind the public that directing a laser pointer at another person&mdash;particularly a police officer&mdash;is not only dangerous, but illegal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Laser pointers are commonly associated with firearm-mounted aiming devices. When a person observes a laser directed at them, it can reasonably cause fear that they are being targeted by a weapon. This perception may result in a rapid and serious law enforcement response.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Recent Similar Incident&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case follows other concerning reports in Corvallis. In January 2026, a citizen reported that a subject exited a black Toyota Prius and pointed what appeared to be a handgun equipped with a red laser at them while they were outside. The suspect fled the area and was not located.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Applicable Law (ORS 163.709)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under Oregon law, a person commits the offense of unlawful directing of light from a laser pointer if they knowingly direct a laser at another person without consent, and the person is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A peace officer acting in the course of official duty; or&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A uniformed private security professional on duty&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This offense is classified as a Class A misdemeanor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Closing Statement&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Corvallis Police Department urges community members to understand the seriousness of this behavior. What may seem like a prank or harmless act can create a dangerous situation with significant legal consequences.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Residents noted that drivers were avoiding King Rd. construction using SE Logus Rd. as a detour and many were disregarding stop signs along the route. On a few occasions early in the month traffic officers did informal traffic stings using our motorcycles and made several traffic stops. On March 2&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;a single traffic officer reported stopping 9 people in one hour for running stop signs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 5&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, staff at the Chapel Theatre phoned in a person sleeping under the deck at the location for a welfare check. Officers contacted a female who was soaked in water and desperately needed medical attention. Officers summoned an ambulance and contacted houseless liaison Don Holden of LoveOne. Medical personnel arrived along with Clackamas community paramedics (&lt;a href="https://clackamasfire.com/community-paramedic-program/"&gt;Community Paramedic Program - Clackamas Fire District&lt;/a&gt;) and determined the identity of the female as she was a client of Love One, greatly expediting the ability to assist her effectively.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 9&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, a Milwaukie traffic Officer was conducting routine speed enforcement on SE Mcloughlin Blvd near SE Ochoco St, a notorious intersection for vehicle and vehicle vs. pedestrian crashes. The speed on SE Mcloughlin in this area was reduced to 40 MPH several months ago. The Traffic Officer clocked a Grey BMW at 87 MPH and attempted to conduct a traffic stop investigation. While doing so, the driver made an illegal u-turn onto Northbound SE Mcloughin Blvd at SE Milport St., struck another motorist, and accelerated North. Due to the excessively dangerous driving the person was doing, the Officer discontinued attempting to stop them. Shortly after the driver crashed the car at the intersection of Se Harold St. and Se Mcloughlin in Portland. Milwaukie Officers responded to the scene and located the driver, Alicia Miesner 31, of Portland who was treated at a local hospital for precaution and subsequently lodged at the Clackamas County Jail on Hit and Run, recklessly endangering, Reckless Driving, Attempt to Elude on foot and in a car along with three outstanding warrants. Case 26-1218&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;March 18&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;around 12;15 a.m., Officers were dispatched to the area of SE Hwy 224 and SE Lake Road in Milwaukie in reference to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. Officers arrived and observed a 20-year-old male lying in the roadway with serious injuries. Through the investigation, officers learned the male was struck by a Ford pickup truck, driven by a 25-year-old male. The driver stayed at the scene and fully cooperated with police. Clackamas County CRAFT (Criminal Reconstruction and Forensic Technicians) assisted with part of the investigation and determined the driver was not impaired. The injured pedestrian was taken to OHSU with serious injuries. We are still conducting follow-up to determine why the person was in the roadway. The driver was not cited or arrested. Case 26-1392&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the morning of March 29&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, a Milwaukie Patrol Officer was monitoring traffic on SE McLoughlin Blvd. in the 40 MPH, when he used a speed measuring device to clock a dark colored BMW coupe travelling at 77 MPH. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle with lights and sirens, and the driver stopped at the intersection of SE Milport St. and SE Mcloughlin. While the Officer contacted the vehicle, the unidentified driver, who was not free to leave, accelerated away in an aggressive manner initiating a vehicle elude. Other Officers had arrived in the area South of that location, and the initial officer was able to radio the description and route the driver fled. A MiPD Sergeant was close by and was able to deploy and successfully implement tire deflation sticks on the dark colored BMW. On multiple flat tires, the driver continued on SE 22&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ave and drove through the blocks, striking a parked car and hitting a sidewalk. The BMW became partially disabled near the intersection of SE Wren and SE River Rd. where Officers blocked the driver in. The driver, Dakoda Gras-Johnson 33, of Portland, refused to exit the vehicle and Officers broke the driver&rsquo;s window to extract him. He was lodged at the Clackamas County Jail on Hit and run vehicle, Possession of Methamphetamine, Reckless Driving, Attempt to Elude, failure to register as a sex offender, and an outstanding warrant for vehicle theft. Case 26-1624... Video: Elude, "Stand by me"&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://youtu.be/-ceV6ZOuL9g?si=mdyk29oNsx_oU2LY"&gt;https://youtu.be/-ceV6ZOuL9g?si=mdyk29oNsx_oU2LY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ROOFIE AWARENESS&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and is a significant reminder that sexual assault, roofie awareness, and personal safety are important topics throughout the year. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse &amp;amp; Incest National Network), every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted. You can find additional statistics and resources such as &ldquo;&lt;a href="https://www.rainn.org/understanding-consent"&gt;Understanding Consent&lt;/a&gt;&rdquo;, &ldquo;&lt;a href="https://www.rainn.org/safety-prevention"&gt;Safety and Prevention&lt;/a&gt;&rdquo;, and more at &lt;a href="http://www.rainn.org/"&gt;www.rainn.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best tip for preventing sexual assault is: don&rsquo;t sexually assault someone. While this is the best way to prevent sexual assault, below are some tips to help prevent exposure to date rape drugs and predators with harmful intentions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are more than fifty predatory drugs that can be used to sedate someone. These drugs, including rohypnol, ketamine, and GHB, are often known as &ldquo;roofies&rdquo; or &ldquo;date rape drugs&rdquo;. These predatory drugs relax the body and can feel similar to being drunk. As they pass through your system their effect increases. This can lead to confusion, breathing trouble, blurred vision, and memory loss. These drugs stay in the bloodstream for approximately four hours and testing for them often yields little or no evidence. This makes it very difficult to prove and even harder to prosecute.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below are some tips to help prevent exposure to these drugs and predators with harmful intentions. If you are drinking:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be Aware of Strange Smells or Flavors. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
     If the drink is hazy or doesn&rsquo;t taste like it normally should, don&rsquo;t drink it. Be sure to pour it out so that no one else drinks it.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cover Your Cup. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
     Never set down or lose sight of your drink. Hold the cup by covering it with your palm.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Order Your Own Drinks. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
     Don&rsquo;t accept any beverages from strangers or people you don&rsquo;t trust. It is safer to only accept drinks directly from the bartender.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avoid Community Containers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Say no to drinks made in a punch bowl or pitchers. Instead, go for a canned or bottled beverage that hasn&rsquo;t been opened.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don&rsquo;t Share Drinks with Others.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
     You don&rsquo;t know if your friend has kept a watchful eye on their cup. People can have very different reactions to the same drug. This means they could have ingested something harmful and not feel it&rsquo;s effects yet.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sip Your Drink Slowly.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
     Taking time to consume your beverage gives you more time to become aware of any symptoms which can indicate your drink has been altered.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Beaverton, OR &ndash; On March 30, 2026, at approximately 8:57 p.m., officers with the Beaverton Police Department were dispatched to a reported crash involving a Hyundai Elantra and a Ducati motorcycle near the intersection of SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and the Highway 217 egress toward SW Canyon Road.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beaverton Police officers and emergency medical personnel from American Medical Response (AMR) and Tualatin Valley Fire &amp;amp; Rescue (TVF&amp;amp;R) arrived shortly thereafter and began lifesaving efforts. Despite those efforts, the motorcyclist was pronounced deceased at 9:11 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rider has been identified as 25-year-old Joel Theodore Hanson of Beaverton, Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Witness statements and initial evidence indicate the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed and maneuvering between lanes prior to the crash. The driver of the Hyundai remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Washington County Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team (CART) responded and is continuing the investigation. The investigation has been forwarded to the Washington County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office for review, as is standard in fatal crashes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Beaverton Police Department reminds all road users to drive attentively, obey traffic laws, and be mindful of speed, especially at intersections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone with additional information about this incident is asked to contact the Beaverton Police Department at 503-629-0111 and reference case number 26-891228.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Ryah Jones has been located in Hillsboro.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Monday, March 31, 2026, family members of 22-year-old Ryah Jones reported her missing and shared concerns for her safety with responding Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies contacted the Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue (SAR) team for assistance. Security camera footage showed Ryah leaving the family home on foot and heading East on NW Verboort Road at about 10:50 a.m. Due to this being a sparsely populated area of unincorporated Washington County, there was limited available security video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SAR coordinators contacted additional search teams from Clackamas, Multnomah, Yamhill, and Marion counties, the Hillsboro Police Department, Portland Mountain Rescue, Hood River SAR, and Mountain Wave SAR. The Sheriff&rsquo;s Office SAR team coordinated cadet ground searchers, drone searches, and the airplane over miles of fields, roads, and waterways in the area and continued throughout the night.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office requested tips from the community, which yielded numerous calls to dispatch. Callers provided helpful information and dashcam footage, narrowing the timeline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This morning, a tip was called in reporting a possible sighting of Ryah. Deputies followed the tip and located Ryah near the Hillsboro Public Library, Shute Park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sheriff's Office would like to thank all the agencies that participated in the search for Ryah, especially the community members who called in tips and provided video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SAR is an essential function of the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, comprised of deputy coordinators and youth cadets. SAR equips cadets, ages 14 to 17, with essential life skills and provides unique insights into career fields such as law enforcement, search and rescue, and emergency medical services.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jones was last seen wearing a dark jacket and shorts, carrying her black-and-red Pikachu backpack. Jones is not familiar with public transportation and does not have a phone. She has a cognitive impairment that makes her seem younger than she is, and she may not talk to strangers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies are also seeking dashcam video that was recording along NW Verboort Road near the intersection of NW Visitation Road at about 10:50 a.m., either East or Westbound.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Simultaneously, additional fire crews started life saving measures on the resident, unfortunately they were pronounced deceased on scene. The resident was a 67 year old male, next of kin have been notified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[TriMet Transit Police Arrest Suspect Accused of Targeting Transit Infrastructure]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) &ndash; Detectives with the Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office have arrested a 48-year-old man accused of stealing brass plates from TriMet MAX platforms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Based on the preliminary investigation, between March 17 and March 19, 2026, TriMet reported someone unscrewing multiple large brass plates and stealing them. These alleged thefts occurred from several MAX stations along North Interstate Avenue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Today&rsquo;s announcement reflects the coordination that defines our partnerships with TriMet and the district attorney&rsquo;s office to enhance public safety in our community,&rdquo; said &lt;strong&gt;Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O&rsquo;Donnell&lt;/strong&gt;. &ldquo;Across our entire transit system, the deputies and officers assigned to Transit Police represent a team of dedicated public servants who are making a genuine difference and helping TriMet riders move confidently and safely.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This case illustrates the strength of our multi-agency approach to law enforcement, with partners working together to address public safety across our transit system," said &lt;strong&gt;TriMet's Chief Safety and Security Officer Andrew Wilson&lt;/strong&gt;. "Theft and vandalism have real impacts. Missing plates leave uneven surfaces or openings where people could stumble or fall, especially in crowded or low-light conditions, and they expose sensitive equipment to damage. We're grateful for the Transit Police and fellow law enforcement officers who worked quickly to stop these thefts and recover stolen property.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After learning about the alleged thefts, TriMet Transit Police began an investigation, which included reviewing public safety cameras and collaborating with regional law enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A Port of Portland Police Department officer assigned to Transit Police identified the suspect as 48-year-old &lt;a href="https://apps.mcso.us/PAID/Home/Booking/1642471"&gt;Benjamin Mark Honl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Transit Police located and arrested Honl in the 12700-block of Southwest 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Avenue in Beaverton, Oregon, on March 25, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A court-authorized search warrant led to the recovery of a stolen brass plate hidden under Honl&rsquo;s vehicle seat cushion, clothing that matched that worn by the suspect during the thefts, and a wheelchair used to move the heavy plates, according to court documents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies booked Honl into the Multnomah County Detention Center on two counts of first-degree theft, one count of attempted first-degree theft, and one count of first-degree criminal mischief.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The brass plates shield sensitive transit-related equipment. Damage to this equipment could lead to electrical outages affecting the platform or parts of the rail system. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The alleged thefts resulted in safety hazards, property damage, financial losses and operational impacts. Each brass plate is worth more than $1,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Charges are only allegations, and every arrested person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 133.870 generally prohibits the release of jail booking photos to the public unless it is determined that there is a law enforcement purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Detectives Investigating Shooting at Rural Hillsboro Property (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 11:23 p.m., Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputies were dispatched to a report of a large party on a rural property in the 15200 block of SW Holly Hill Road in unincorporated Hillsboro. Multiple people called into dispatch to report a large gathering of juveniles who were reportedly consuming alcohol. Initial calls estimated that there were between 100-200 people at the party.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While deputies were enroute, additional callers reported that some of the partygoers were armed with guns. As a deputy arrived at the property, he heard shots being fired. Additional calls to 911 reported that at least two people were shot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Due to the terrain of the area, the large gathering, and the shooting, deputies called for additional resources from partner agencies. Multiple people were detained as deputies and officers worked through a very active scene. The two people who were shot were transported via ambulance and have non-life-threatening injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detectives from the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office Violent Crimes Unit and the Washington County Major Crimes Team responded to lead the investigation. An explosives detection K9 from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms was called in to assist with the search. K9 Moby located a pistol near the scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Investigators identified two people who were detained by initial responders as being involved in the shooting. According to the Washington County Juvenile Department, a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy were detained in connection with the shooting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The investigation is ongoing, and additional information is not available for release. The sheriff&rsquo;s office would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance during this investigation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Beaverton Police Department&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Cornelius Police Department&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Forest Grove Police Department&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Hillsboro Police Department&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Sherwood Police Department&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Tigard Police Department&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Oregon State Police&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detectives believe that there are other partygoers who fled the scene prior to law enforcement arriving, and they would like to hear from those individuals. Anyone with information is asked to call the Investigations Division at 503-846-2500 referencing 50-26-4267.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;At 5am on Monday March 30th, Forest Grove Firefighters were dispatched to a reported fire at 2227 Cedar Street, the location is an auto body shop called CS Customs. Fire crews arrived on scene at 5:04 to find a commercial shop with flames and heavy smoke showing, at this time the incident was upgraded to a 2nd Alarm to bring in additional resources. Crews began fighting the flames as well as making access through roll up doors. Ten minutes after arriving a portion of the roof collapsed, due to the instability of the structure, firefighters fought the flames from the exterior. It took firefighters an hour and a half to deem the incident under control. At the time of release, a single fire crew is still on scene trying to extinguish hard to access hot spots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time of the fire, one employee was in the structure and was able to evacuate with no injuries. The business sustained heavy smoke and fire damage, including several vehicles in various different stages of repair. An adjoining wood working business also sustained smoke and water damage. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forest Grove Fire &amp;amp; Rescue was assisted by Cornelius Fire Department, Hillsboro Fire &amp;amp; Rescue, Gaston Fire District, Banks Fire District, Tualatin Valley Fire &amp;amp; Rescue, AMR, Forest Grove Police Department and Forest Grove Light &amp;amp; Power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Structure Fire on Thomas Drive in Bend on 03/28/26 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;At 5:07 am on Saturday, March 28, a 911 caller reported a structure fire in the area of Thomas Drive &amp;amp; Airpark Drive.&amp;nbsp; The occupant woke to the sound of their smoke alarm and was able to safely evacuate.&amp;nbsp; Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue arrived within 8 minutes of the initial 911 call, finding a single story residence with fire venting through the roof.&amp;nbsp; The fire was quickly knocked down, and the resident declined Red Cross assistance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upon investigation, the fire was found to have originated in the attic space at the stove pipe for the pellet stove.&amp;nbsp; The heated stove pipe ignited insulation and structural members adjacent to the pipe and the fire spread throughout the attic, leading to the eventual collapse of the roof and ceiling into much of the living space of the home.&amp;nbsp; Losses are estimated at $400,000 for the structure and $80,000 for the contents, which included a vehicle parked inside the garage at the time of the fire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Working smoke alarms save lives!&amp;nbsp; According to the National Fire Protection Association, the majority of home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms.&amp;nbsp; If you need assistance with your smoke alarms, call Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue at 541-322-6386 for a free consultation.&amp;nbsp; If you don&rsquo;t live in the Bend area, check with your local fire department or contact the Central/Eastern Oregon Chapter of the Red Cross at 541-382-2142 for assistance.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp; Rescue Announces Updated Fire Protection Classifications for Certain Rural Properties]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kelso, WA - Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp;amp; Rescue, in association with the Washington State Fire Chief&rsquo;s Association, is announcing the implementation of a new &ldquo;W&rdquo; Protection Class designation affecting certain properties located between five and seven road miles from a responding fire station. Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp;amp; Rescue has been an active contributor to helping make changes to the Washington State Ratings Bureau (WSRB) insurance rating system. This update, effective March 1, 2026, more accurately reflects the fire suppression capabilities available to rural properties served by Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp;amp; Rescue. It is estimated, by the WSRB, that 98% of all protected properties state-wide will fall within this new seven-mile range.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Historically, properties beyond five road miles were placed into broad classifications that did not always account for modern fire service operations. Today, fire protection capability is determined by more than distance alone. Staffing levels, training standards, apparatus deployment, water supply systems, and coordinated response models all play a critical role in effective fire suppression.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under the updated framework, properties may qualify for a &ldquo;W&rdquo; designation if they:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&middot; Are located between five and seven road miles from a recognized Class A fire station. All of Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp;amp; Rescue&rsquo;s fire stations qualify [Bakers Corner, Lexington, Rose Valley, Kelso]; and&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&middot; Are within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or are supported by an established mobile water supply system, which includes Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp;amp; Rescue&rsquo;s water tender credit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &ldquo;W&rdquo; designation recognizes that while extended travel distances present operational challenges, these properties benefit from organized fire response, trained personnel, structural and wildland apparatus, and reliable water delivery systems. This change will help many more homeowners potentially see lower rates in the newer seven-mile range, even without fire hydrants due to Cowlitz 2 Fire &amp;amp; Rescue&rsquo;s water tender credit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Property owners with questions about how this may apply to their location are encouraged to contact their homeowner&rsquo;s insurance agent/carrier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More on Washington State Ratings Bureau (WSRB) can be found on their website:&amp;nbsp;https://www1.wsrb.com/resources/public-protection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAFETY TIPS FOR RUNNERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Newport Marathon is just around the corner, so we can expect to see local and guest runners hitting the road on May 31st. Motorists should use extra caution, not only during special events like this, but throughout the year. Whether you are a well-seasoned runner or just beginning your running activities, there are some things you should consider to keep yourself safe while running. The time of day and weather impact not only how you feel on your run but can also be more dangerous depending on the situation. Before heading out on your next run, consider these tips.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before the Run&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Run with another person or a group.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Let someone know when and where you are running and when you will return.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Carry ID and a cell phone. Consider adding a small card with an emergency contact and any allergies or known medical conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Take a whistle with you.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Dress for the weather and running conditions. Wear layers and sturdy shoes.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Wear reflective clothing or gear regardless of the time of day.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Don&rsquo;t wear headphones or anything that distracts you. This will help keep you aware of cars passing by and animals you may encounter on your route.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Vary the route and the time of day that you run.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;If you must run at night, remember to wear a headlamp and a flashing red light on your back. Consider additional reflective gear.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Remember to stretch! Stretching before running and regular flexibility and strength training help prevent future injuries.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;During the Run&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Run against traffic so that you can observe the approach of automobiles.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;When possible, run on sidewalks or designated trails/pedestrian paths.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Remember to hydrate. Runner&rsquo;s belts and vests make it easier to carry water and snacks.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Keep an eye on the temperature and how your body feels. If you start to overheat, feel dizzy, or otherwise unwell, take a break in the shade and drink water.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Stay alert. When in doubt, follow your intuition. If something seems suspicious, do not panic, but run in a different direction.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Do not approach a car to give directions. If you feel you must respond, do it while moving.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Run in familiar areas. Note the location of neighbors or open businesses along the route.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;When in doubt call for help. For an emergency, call 911. Non-emergency dispatch can be reached at 541-265-0777, or call a friend and keep them on the phone until you feel safe again.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) &ndash; The Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (MCSO) is conducting an in-custody death investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, deputies assigned to the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) responded to a medical incident within the facility involving a 65-year-old man.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://multco.us/info/corrections-health"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Multnomah County Health Department Corrections Health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;personnel performed lifesaving measures. Paramedics from the Portland Fire &amp;amp; Rescue and American Medical Response (AMR) continued medical care and took the person to the hospital where he later died on Thursday, March 26, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;A death in our custody is something we take very seriously, and I recognize the impact on the person&rsquo;s family and those who are affected by this loss,&rdquo; said Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O&rsquo;Donnell. &ldquo;While this investigation is in the early stages, we are committed to a thorough review. As the investigation progresses, and details are finalized by the medical examiner's office, we remain committed to sharing information in accordance with our transparency standards and state law.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In accordance with standard protocol, MCSO requested assistance from the East County Major Crimes Team to conduct a death investigation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The man who died entered MCSO custody on February 19, 2026, after being booked into jail by the Gresham Police Department.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Multnomah County Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office is leading the death investigation. The person&rsquo;s identity will be released once their family has been notified.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Information about how and why the person died will be shared after the medical examiner completes its investigation, which will include an autopsy and toxicology analysis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No additional information can be released at this time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The East County Major Crimes Team includes detectives from the Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, Port of Portland Police Department, Gresham Police Department and Oregon State Police.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Five Teenagers in Custody, Stolen Car Recovered (Photo) (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Five teenagers are safely in custody and several are facing charges after stealing a car and running from police.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 25, 2026, at 1:41 AM, a graveyard patrol officer found an unoccupied stolen car at a gas station in the 11800 block of SW Pacific Highway. Police began searching the area for a suspect when they found a group of four teenagers at a shopping center nearby, who then ran from officers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An officer quickly found two of the teenagers, and one was identified as a missing runaway from a rehabilitation home in Tigard and had two juvenile warrants. Unfortunately, the other teenager managed to escape from the officer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As this was happening, officers began a drone and K-9 search, which led them to find another one of the teenagers on the roof of a business in the 8800 block of SW Center Street. He refused commands from officers to come down, so Tualatin Valley Fire &amp;amp; Rescue firefighters assisted officers by giving them a lift to the roof. The teen was taken into custody and identified as another missing runaway from the same rehabilitation home who also had a warrant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While officers continued to search for the two outstanding teenagers, the owner of the stolen car reported seeing two teens back at the Tigard Plaza. Police responded quickly and two more teenagers were detained and identified as missing runaways from the same rehabilitation home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With four teenagers in custody, officers learned the group had been staying at an abandoned home nearby. An officer went to the home and found the teenager who had escaped from officers earlier in the night.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a result, four juveniles were arrested on a range of charges that include four juvenile warrants:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A 16-year-old girl, two juvenile warrants, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A 16-year-old boy, escape III&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A 15-year-old girl, escape III&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A 15-year-old boy, two juvenile warrants, trespass II, escape III&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All five teenagers are now in the care of the Washington County and Clackamas County Juvenile Departments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We&rsquo;d like to thank our partner agencies for their assistance in responding to this call, including officers from Sherwood Police, Lake Oswego Police, Beaverton Police and firefighters from Tualatin Valley Fire &amp;amp; Rescue.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[HILLSBORO POLICE RESPOND TO REPORTED BULLET AT ISLAMIC COMMUNITY CENTER]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;On Saturday, March 21, 2026, the Hillsboro Police Department responded to a report of a bullet found inside the Islamic Community Center of Hillsboro. The building was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and no injuries were reported.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;We understand that an incident like this, particularly at a place of worship and so soon after a significant religious observance, causes fear and anxiety. We want to acknowledge the impact this has had on members of the Islamic Community Center and the broader community. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their place of worship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;From the moment this was reported, the Hillsboro Police Department launched a comprehensive investigation. Detectives conducted extensive scene analysis, reviewed available video, processed evidence, and followed leads well beyond the immediate area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;Through this detailed work, investigators determined the bullet was likely fired from a location approximately one mile away, outside Hillsboro city limits, where individuals were lawfully target shooting. These individuals are fully cooperating with our investigation. Evidence indicates the round that entered the building was an errant projectile, possibly a ricochet, that traveled an extended distance before striking the structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;Currently, there is no evidence indicating that the Islamic Community Center was intentionally targeted. Detectives have consulted with the Washington County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office. Should any evidence of a crime emerge, the case will be referred for their review.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We want to be clear that even when an incident is determined to be accidental, the fear it creates is real. We take that impact seriously and remain committed to the safety and well-being of all community members.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;Chief Jim Coleman stated, &ldquo;While the findings indicate this was not an intentional act, we understand the fear it caused in our community, and we support those affected. From the start, our detectives conducted a detailed and careful investigation to identify the facts. I am proud of their dedication and professionalism. We remain committed to keeping everyone in Hillsboro safe.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;Mayor Beach Pace added, &ldquo;Part of who we are in Hillsboro is standing up for each other whenever there is a potential threat to safety or well-being, including the ability to worship. I am very proud of the quick and thorough response of the Hillsboro Police Department in finding out the source of the bullet. Hillsboro stands in solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters and their right to congregate and worship safely, and we want to make sure that they and everyone in Hillsboro are safe.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-4.5pt"&gt;The Hillsboro Police Department will continue working closely with our community and community partners to support a safe environment for all.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Missing man identified after more than 50 years (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note to media:&lt;/strong&gt; Mark Smith's family has asked for privacy and are not available for interviews at this time.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Josephine County, Ore. (24 March 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; The last known photograph of Mark Smith was taken at his sister&rsquo;s wedding in September 1973. He left his home in Billings, Montana, to travel in 1974, and was not heard from again. On February 26, 2026, the Oregon State Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office Human Identification Program confirmed that unidentified human remains found in Josephine County in 1978 were a match to Mark who had been missing since he was 19 years old. His sister shared with the medical examiner&rsquo;s office that the family thought of him every day during the more than 50 years since his disappearance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On May 9, 1978, a logging crew discovered the partial remains of a skeletonized young male near Williams, Oregon, in the area of Holcomb Peak. Only a skull and a scapula fragment were recovered. A piece of a shirt and remnants of a brown sweater were found near the remains and collected. The Josephine County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office responded to the recovery site; however, no further remains were located. Despite investigative efforts, the individual could not be identified.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The recovered remains were examined by a forensic pathologist and odontologist who believed the remains may have belonged to a female between the ages of 16 and 18. Then in 2020, the State Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office submitted the remains to the University of North Texas for DNA extraction and analysis. While there was insufficient nuclear DNA to generate a CODIS-eligible STR profile, the analysis confirmed the decedent as male rather than female. The investigation was reinvigorated and missing male profiles were searched for a match. Unfortunately, no matches were made.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the same year, the medical examiner&rsquo;s Human Identification Program partnered with DNA Labs International (DLI) to pursue forensic genetic genealogy identification services. DLI is a private DNA laboratory accredited for forensic testing. The testing was made possible by a National Institute of Justice grant aimed at enhancing DNA testing for entry into CODIS. Initial attempts to use the available extraction for genealogical analysis were unsuccessful. DLI subsequently agreed to continue working on the case pro bono.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During this period, the National Center for Missing &amp;amp; Exploited Children (NCMEC) offered its assistance with the case. NCMEC is a national nonprofit organization that provides resources and support to law enforcement agencies working to identify unknown deceased children and locate missing youth. As part of their support, NCMEC commissioned a forensic artist to complete a facial reconstruction of the unidentified individual in hopes of generating leads. Despite these efforts, no new information emerged at the time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through 2023 into 2024, the first genealogical leads were produced by DLI and forwarded to the Human Identification Program. These included an ancestry summary indicating a blend of North Atlantic, Baltic, and Western Mediterranean heritage. Genealogists were able to identify an ancestor born in the early 1800s from whom the unidentified individual descended. However, the family line stalled shortly thereafter, and even whole genome sequencing could only identify distant lineage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In September 2025, the Human Identification Program reached out to DLI for an update on the stalled case. The developing family tree was reexamined, and a recently uploaded DNA kit was discovered. This new match allowed the genealogist to extend a previously incomplete branch of the family tree and identify a family with several siblings, one of whom appeared to have disappeared from records after the midâ'1970s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Human Identification Program then collaborated with a Josephine County medicolegal death investigator who contacted the family to inquire about any missing relatives. The family confirmed their brother, Mark Smith, born October 4, 1954, had been missing since 1974.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Josephine County coordinated the collection of buccal swabs from Smith&rsquo;s siblings, and the Human Identification Program provided an additional tooth from the remains, which was submitted to DLI for testing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On February 25, 2026, DLI confirmed the family reference samples and tooth were a siblingâ'level match, allowing the Human Identification Program and the State Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office to formally identify the remains as those of Mark Smith. Josephine County notified the family as soon as the positive identification was confirmed by a forensic pathologist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the identification complete, the State Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office and Josephine County are working with the family to ensure appropriate next steps and final arrangements. No evidence has been found to suggest foul play; however, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Smith&rsquo;s death remains open.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hailey Collord-Stalder, state forensic anthropologist, said, &ldquo;We are grateful that Mark has finally been returned to his family.&rdquo; She continued, &ldquo;This identification reflects years of persistence, scientific collaboration, and the evolving power of forensic genetic genealogy.&rdquo; The Oregon State Medical Examiner&rsquo;s Office is grateful for the dedication and assistance of DNA Labs International, the University of North Texas, the National Center for Missing &amp;amp; Exploited Children, and the Josephine County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Incident: Armed Barricaded Subject / Unlawful Use of a Weapon (firearm)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Location: 1000 SE Bay Blvd&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Date/Time: March 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, 2026 @ 0124 hours&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Details: On March 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; at approximately 0124 hours the Newport Police Department and Lincoln County Sheriffs Office responded to 1000 SE Bay Blvd to the report of an intoxicated male firing a handgun inside of his room. The male, later identified as Johnson Rin, 44 of Portland, Oregon, had allegedly made threats towards family members who were staying with him in a condo, then intentionally discharged a firearm inside the condo. The family, including a young child, were able to flee the condo and call for help. Officers and Deputies quickly arrived and secured the scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Investigation revealed that Rin had fired a handgun two times within the condo, once into the ceiling where guests were sleeping in a neighboring room, and once into a closet door. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Officers spoke with Rin by phone and attempted to negotiate a peaceful surrender, Rin refused to comply and remained barricaded within his room.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;The Lincoln County Interagency Tactical Response Team (TRT) responded to assist. Guests from neighboring apartments were evacuated for their safety, while members of the Hostage Negotiator Team attempted to bring the event to a safe resolution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;During the incident TRT used their heavy armored vehicle to shield officers and citizens and deployed multiple Noise Flash Diversionary Devices (NFDD or Flashbangs) in an attempt to gain compliance from Rin. At around 0800 hours, Rin complied with commands and surrendered to officers. Rin was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;A search warrant was executed in Rin&rsquo;s room. Officers located a 10mm Glock handgun, two spent shell casings, and two bullet holes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;u&gt;JOHNSON RIN, 44, OF PORTLAND&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[TWO ARRESTED AFTER MAKING SEXUAL ADVANCES TOWARD UNDERCOVER OFFICERS]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On March 13, 2026, Mitchell Isham, a 58-year-old resident of McMinnville, was arrested after offering to meet with a minor for sex. Unbeknownst to Isham, the minor he initiated a sexually graphic conversation with was, in reality, an undercover officer posing as a minor. Isham was arrested and booked into the Lincoln County Jail for two counts of Luring a Minor and two counts of Online Sexual Corruption of a Child 2nd Degree.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also on March 13, 2026, Richard Brotherton, age 63 of Amity, was arrested after initiating a sexually graphic conversation with an undercover officer posing as a minor. Brotherton was arrested and booked into the Lincoln County Jail for Luring a Minor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LCPD Officers were assisted by the Yamhill County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and the McMinnville Police Department.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 19, 2026, a Lincoln County Grand Jury issued a True Bill Indictment against Isham and Brotherton for the crimes.&amp;nbsp; A &ldquo;True Bill Indictment&rdquo; is a formal indictment returned by a grand jury when they find sufficient probable cause to believe a person has committed a crime, authorizing the case to proceed to trial.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Lincoln City Police Department encourages parents to monitor their children's social media activity and discuss with them the possible dangers of communicating with strangers online. These investigations are conducted in a continuing effort to protect our children from predators who target children for sexual exploitation and to reduce crime and further enhance the safety of our community.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;**UPDATE**&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The cause of the fire at 65425 76th Street in Tumalo was determined to be accidental in nature, and caused by a fuel leak and subsequent backfire from a vehicle parked in the 1,600 square foot shop structure.&amp;nbsp; The shop and contents, including two classic vehicles and a motorized scooter, were a total loss.&amp;nbsp; A nearby travel trailer was also heavily damaged.&amp;nbsp; Losses are estimated at $100,000 for the structure and $120,000 for the contents and adjacent travel trailer.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As we get closer to wildfire season, it's time for a reminder that defensible space is important for not just your home, but other structures on your property as well.&amp;nbsp; Trees and other vegetation close to the shop allowed the fire to spread towards other homes in the area but was stopped quickly by fire crews.&amp;nbsp; Now is a good time to evaluate your property and take steps to reduce the risk from wildfire.&amp;nbsp; Simple measures such as removing bark mulch and vegetation within 5 feet of the foundation can help to protect structures from the threat of wildfire.&amp;nbsp; For more information on wildfire preparedness and home hardening, visit&amp;nbsp;https://bendoregon.gov/departments/public-safety/fire-rescue/community-resources-programs/own-your-zone/&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At 5:11 pm on Friday, March 20, multiple 911 callers reported a structure fire on 76th Street in the Tumalo area.&amp;nbsp; The fire was highly visible from the Highway 97 and Tumalo Road areas.&amp;nbsp; First arriving Bend fire crews found a fully involved detached shop building with fire spreading to adjacent brush and trees.&amp;nbsp; The residence on the property, as well as other detached structures, were not impacted by the fire.&amp;nbsp; With mutual aid assistance from both Cloverdale Fire District and Redmond Fire, the fire was knocked down quickly.&amp;nbsp; Assistance was also provided by the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.&amp;nbsp; Crews remain on scene as of 8:00 pm mopping up and monitoring for hot spots.&amp;nbsp; 76th Street is blocked at this time north of Limestone as numerous units are still on scene and the public is asked to avoid the area.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fire is under investigation at this time and an updated media release will be sent when the investigation is complete.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan reports on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at approximately 7:42 p.m., a deputy was traveling east on Highway 228 near First Avenue in Sweet Home, when they observed an oncoming vehicle traveling westbound.&amp;nbsp; The oncoming vehicle, a 2010 grey Mazda 3, passed the deputy at a high rate of speed with no lights on.&amp;nbsp; The Deputy observed the Mazda cross over into the oncoming lane and continued at a high rate of speed without lights on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The deputy activated their emergency lights and siren to conduct a traffic stop. The Mazda failed to stop and continued driving in the oncoming lane.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The deputy recognized the Mazda was a danger to the public before and after initiating the traffic stop and began pursuing the vehicle.&amp;nbsp; During the pursuit, the Mazda continued to enter the opposite lane of travel around blind corners and on blind hills, without their lights on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the vehicle continued, it forced three other vehicles off the roadway, nearly causing a collision.&amp;nbsp; The deputy was unable to stop and identify the drivers of the vehicles that were forced off the roadway and continued to pursue the Mazda as it posed a danger to the public.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The pursuit continued onto Upper Calapooia Drive, when the Mazda finally stopped in the middle of the road.&amp;nbsp; The driver, identified as Rachel Adams, 32 of Sweet Home, was taken into custody without further incident. The deputy found Adams showed signs of impairment.&amp;nbsp; Adams was transported to the Linn County Jail where a search warrant was obtained for a breath sample. &amp;nbsp;Adams blew a .20% BAC, over twice the legal limit. Adams was lodged at the Linn County Jail for Fleeing or Attempting to Elude (felony), DUII and Reckless Driving.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Linn County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office is requesting the drivers of the vehicles that were forced off the roadway on Wednesday evening to call in with additional information. Their statements are valuable to the investigation. Those with information are encouraged to call the Linn County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office at (541)-967-3950.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[22 Stolen Handbags Recovered, Man Safely Arrested on Several Charges (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A man was safely arrested after officers responded to a theft in progress that led to a short pursuit, the recovery of 22 stolen purses and several additional charges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On February 28, 2026, at 6:15PM employees at a store on SW Washington Square Road called to report a theft in progress, where a man stole purses, loaded them into a waiting car, changed clothes and returned to the store to steal more. Responding officers saw a car matching the description of the suspect&rsquo;s car leaving the area and tried to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver kept going. The suspect drove a loop around an uninvolved car in the middle of an intersection, then drove down SW Brightfield Circle. When he reached the end of the street, he took off on foot until he was cornered in a fenced yard and was safely arrested.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p&gt;Officers identified the suspect as 31-year-old Victor Llarena-Moren. In the car, officers recovered 22 stolen handbags and a wallet that officers believe was stolen in a separate incident. Officers also found a second license plate in the trunk of the car and learned neither the plate displayed on the car, nor the plate found in the trunk were actually associated with the car. Officers further learned the Llarena-Moren had a suspended license and no insurance, so the car was towed from the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During their interactions with Llarena-Moren, officers also believed him to be impaired. There was a woman who was the passenger in the car, and officers learned there was a no-contact release agreement between Llarena-Moren and the woman. After speaking with the store employees, officers did not believe the woman was associated with the theft and her name is not being released at this time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Llarena-Moren was taken to jail charged with theft in the first degree (felony), escape in the third degree, violation of release agreement (contempt of court), reckless driving and driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was given traffic tickets for driving uninsured, driving while suspended and illegal display/switched plates. He was also booked on an outstanding arrest warrant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. (19 March 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; In September 1982, Hillsboro Police began an investigation into the disappearance of Vicky McGuire (33) and her daughter Christal McGuire (10), both of whom hadn&rsquo;t been seen for about a week.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vicky and Christal lived in an apartment in Hillsboro, Oregon, after recently moving from Cornelius. Christal attended W.L. Henry Elementary School in Hillsboro.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Almost a year after their disappearance, Vicky&rsquo;s remains were found in the Forest Park area of Gales Creek, Oregon (near the Gales Creek campground). The next day, Christal&rsquo;s remains were found nearby.&amp;nbsp; Both deaths were determined to be homicides.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The investigation was conducted by the Oregon State Police, assisted by detectives from the Hillsboro Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Investigators identified a Cornelius resident, Lester Crider (32), as a person of interest in the murders, and established that Lester was known to Vicky.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The circumstances of the McGuires&rsquo; disappearance and murders have never been established. In addition, any connection to the recovery location regarding the McGuires or Lester Crider is not known.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The murders of Vicky and Christal remain unsolved, and public assistance is being sought to help solve these crimes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone with helpful information about Vicky and Christal McGuire, Lester Crider, or this case is asked to contact the Oregon State Police Cold Case Unit at &lt;a href="mailto:OSP.CCU@osp.oregon.gov"&gt;OSP.CCU@osp.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;.

				<headline><![CDATA[Central Oregon Wildfire Educators Group Strengthens Regional Wildfire Preparedness Through Unified Outreach and Collaboration (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;The Central Oregon Wildfire Educators Group (COWEG), created in 2022 under the Central Oregon Fire Prevention Co-Op, is proud to highlight years of momentum in wildfire preparedness, education, and community collaboration across the region. Bringing together city, county, state, federal, and privateâ'land wildfire educators, the group continues to deliver a unified, consistent message of how to live in a fireâ'adapted community within the Central Oregon landscape, where fire is a natural part of the environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Empowering Central Oregonians Through Education&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2025, COWEG delivered wildfire preparedness education and outreach programs throughout Central Oregon, helping thousands of residents better understand critical pillars of wildfire readiness:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Defensible Space:&lt;/strong&gt; How to reduce flammable vegetation and materials around the home, while considering other goals (landscape aesthetics, wildlife, privacy, and invasive plants).&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Hardening:&lt;/strong&gt; Practical steps to strengthen structures against ember intrusion.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Evacuation preparedness:&lt;/strong&gt; Ensuring families know when and how to leave safely.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smoke Readiness:&lt;/strong&gt; How to protect yourself and loved ones from the health impacts of smoke&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These efforts equip residents with the knowledge, confidence, and motivation to take concrete steps toward reducing wildfire risk on their own properties. For information on free Wildfire Home Protection Strategies Workshops, go to &lt;a href="https://centraloregonfire.org/whps/"&gt;https://centraloregonfire.org/whps/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collaboration at the Core&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;COWEG&rsquo;s strength lies in its partnership model. Members include local fire and government agencies, public health, community groups, tribal partners, and nonprofit organizations; all learning from one another through ongoing collaboration. The group works as a regional amplification network, ensuring that each organization&rsquo;s wildfire preparedness efforts have a broader reach and unified message.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Working together, the group distributes educational materials, supports community wildfire awareness events, and promotes Fire Adapted Communities principles throughout Central Oregon. &amp;nbsp;By connecting these efforts, COWEG ensures that residents hear clear, consistent guidance no matter where they live or which agency they interact with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supporting Natural Resource Protection and Prescribed Fire&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A core strength of COWEG is its commitment to protecting Central Oregon&rsquo;s natural resources. The group supports prescribed fire tactics and uses across the region, an essential practice for returning fire back to the landscape as both a cultural and ecological necessity. COWEG&rsquo;s commitment to provide technical assistance and support for private landowners is fundamental for restoring ecosystem resilience and reducing the risk of highâ'severity wildfires.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Annual Wildfire Preparedness Fairs Across the Region&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every year, COWEG hosts &lt;strong&gt;Wildfire Preparedness Fairs&lt;/strong&gt; across the region. These free community events bring together experts, families, and partners to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Share educational resources&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Demonstrate wildfire readiness practices&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Provide handsâ'on learning opportunities for adults and kids&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Celebrate the progress Central Oregon communities are making&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With hundreds of participants attending annually, these fairs help strengthen community resilience and inspire property owners to take meaningful action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connecting the Dots of the Fire Adapted Communities Model&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A core part of COWEG&rsquo;s mission is helping residents understand how all components of the &lt;strong&gt;Fire Adapted Communities Wheel&lt;/strong&gt; fit together&mdash;from response agencies and land management to home preparedness, community planning, evacuation readiness, and recovery. A &lt;em&gt;fire-adapted community&lt;/em&gt; is a knowledgeable, engaged, and resilient community that understands its wildfire risk and takes collaborative action to safely coexist with wildland fire. (FACNET)The group serves as a bridge, showing how each part contributes to a safer, more resilient Central Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creative Outreach for All Ages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To improve access to wildfire education, COWEG also develops creative public service announcements and video content tailored for all age groups. These media projects bring important messages to life and help families start conversations that lead to action. To inspire the future leaders and members of our communities, the group also collaborates on school visits and engaging events for kids.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Unified Voice for a Wildfireâ'Resilient Future&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Central Oregon Wildfire Educators Group remains committed to building genuine, lasting connections with community and organizations across the region. With a united voice and shared vision, the group continues to work toward community resilience, strengthen partnerships, and empower Central Oregonians to live safely with wildfire.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISTRACTED DRIVING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has declared April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Distracted driving is any activity that takes the driver&rsquo;s attention away from driving. Cell phone use including texting, talking on the phone, or using social media are some of the activities that are the most dangerous. This is because cell phone use takes your visual, manual, cognitive, and auditory attention away from driving.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While cell phones are some of the most dangerous distractions, other activities such as eating, talking with passengers, grooming, and reading can be dangerous and deadly. According to the NHTSA, 3,522 people were killed by distracted driving in 2021. You can learn more about the dangers of distracted driving by visiting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration&rsquo;s &ldquo;&lt;a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/april-distracted-driving-awareness-month"&gt;April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month&lt;/a&gt;&rdquo; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use these tips to help keep your car distraction free:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Don&rsquo;t call or text while driving. Instead, pull over in a safe place to read and send texts or make a phone call.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Establish a &ldquo;co-pilot&rdquo; passenger to manage your cell phone, GPS, and other distractions.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Look up your destination ahead of time and become familiar with the area. This will help prevent the need to look at GPS while driving.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Enjoy your meal at home, in the restaurant, or while parked safely. Eating while driving increases your risk of traffic collisions and the likelihood of choking.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Keep pets crated or otherwise secured for safety. This will help keep your furry friend safer in the event of a crash and prevents them from crawling onto your lap or other distracting activities.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Recruit the whole family for distraction-free driving. Teach your children the importance of keeping your attention on the road even before they can drive.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;If your children need help, pull over to help address their needs instead of reaching to the backseat while driving.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Encourage friends and family to drive distraction-free. By speaking up, you may save their life and others on the road.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O&rsquo;Donnell Reports 50% Increase in Hiring; Applauds County Investments]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) &ndash; The Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (MCSO) increased its hiring by more than 50% in 2025 when compared to 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Multnomah County Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O&rsquo;Donnell credited the success to &lt;a href="https://multnomah.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=3&amp;amp;clip_id=3404&amp;amp;meta_id=187133"&gt;county budget investments&lt;/a&gt; and modernized hiring practices during a briefing to the &lt;a href="https://multnomah.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=3&amp;amp;clip_id=3404&amp;amp;meta_id=187132"&gt;Board of County Commissioners&lt;/a&gt; on Tuesday March 17, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2025, MCSO hired 114 employees. This marks the first time since 2022 that new hires exceeded separations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This positive update comes at a time when Multnomah County&rsquo;s public safety system is seeing increased demands. As law enforcement agencies throughout the county increase their public safety initiatives, jail bookings have increased. In February 2026, MCSO processed 1,721 standard jail bookings, up 22% from February 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The increase in jail bookings places additional pressure on MCSO&rsquo;s Corrections Facilities Division, which has faced persistent staffing shortfalls since 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It generally takes six months to complete the hiring process for a MCSO corrections deputy. The process includes screening applicants for minimum qualifications, assessing the eligibility, conducting background checks and interviews, and completing psychological and physical evaluations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Our corrections division is central to a well-functioning public safety system,&rdquo; Sheriff Morrisey O&rsquo;Donnell said. &ldquo;When it is not operating efficiently due to staffing shortages, it places immense strain on our law enforcement partners and impacts overall community safety.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In briefing the Board of County Commissioners, the sheriff and MCSO executive staff highlighted MCSO&rsquo;s Human Resources Unit as a foundational component of overall public safety.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;By breaking down every step of our hiring process and relying on the expertise of our staff, we have been able to focus our efforts on filling all vacancies rather than filling some at the expense of others,&rdquo; said MCSO Deputy Chief of Staff Jenny Carver.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MCSO is now utilizing dashboards to track retirement eligibility, allowing MCSO to anticipate potential vacancies and detailed information about applicants, hires, and departures to inform its recruitment strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In FY 2026, Multnomah County approved a budget modification for MCSO to stabilize funding for existing positions and expand the HR Unit to include the following:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Adding two background investigators (total of 10).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Adding one recruiter (total of five).&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Adding one HR support staff member (total of four).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;A multi-year staffing crisis cannot be reversed in a single year," Sheriff Morrisey O&rsquo;Donnell said. "However, the progress we have made highlights the dedication of our HR team and the support of the county. MCSO is committed to continuing this momentum to help ensure a safe and well-functioning public safety system."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MCSO Staffing Highlights:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;50% increase in overall hiring in 2025 when compared to 2024.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;MCSO achieved a net gain of 32 staff members in 2025.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;MCSO hired 34 corrections deputies out of 909 applicants in 2025.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MCSO Vacancy Rate:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Agency-wide vacancy rate now stands at approximately 7%.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Sworn vacancy rate now stands at approximately 7%, an improvement from approximately 9% in 2025.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Non-sworn vacancy rate now stands at approximately 7%, an improvement from 12% in 2025.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

A photo of the driver the day of the incident was also obtained.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone with information on the identity of the driver or the location of the vehicle is asked to contact Vancouver Police Officer Sean Donaldson at sean.donaldson@cityofvancouver.us.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, Wash. &ndash; On March 12, 2026, at around 3:30 p.m., Vancouver Police responded to a hit and run collision at C Street/Evergreen Blvd. A woman was crossing the street in the marked crosswalk and was struck by a van, causing her injuries. The driver of the van got out, helped the victim get out of the street and then drove off. The victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The suspect driver is described as a Hispanic male, 5&rsquo;5&rdquo;-5&rsquo;7&rdquo;, 150 lbs., possibly having a face tattoo. The suspect vehicle is a white, possibly Ford van with Oregon plates. A nearby surveillance camera captured an image of the suspect vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Vancouver Police Department Traffic Unit is investigating. Anyone with information on this incident that has not already spoken with police, or who has information on the identity or whereabouts of the suspect, is asked to contact Vancouver Police Officer Sean Donaldson at &lt;a href="mailto:sean.donaldson@cityofvancouver.us"&gt;sean.donaldson@cityofvancouver.us&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Corvallis Police Arrest Suspect in Assault at Pioneer Park&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Corvallis, OR &ndash; On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at approximately 12:01 p.m., officers with the Corvallis Police Department responded to a report of an assault involving a baseball bat at Pioneer Park, near the public restrooms located at 1300 SW Philomath Blvd.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upon arrival, officers contacted the victim, a 35-year-old male with no fixed address, who reported that he had been assaulted by 45-year-old James Allen Burke, also with no fixed address. The victim stated the assault stemmed from a dispute over money involving the suspect&rsquo;s girlfriend. During the incident, Burke allegedly struck the victim multiple times in the head with a metal baseball bat. The victim was treated at the scene by emergency medical personnel for his injuries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Burke and a 27-year-old female associated with him fled the area on foot prior to officers&rsquo; arrival. Officers conducted an area search and, at approximately 5:45 p.m., located Burke near the First Christian Church at 602 SW Madison Ave. Burke was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Benton County Jail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Burke, a convicted felon, has been arrested 17 times in Corvallis since 2023 and has prior arrests for Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Felon in Possession of a Weapon, and Disorderly Conduct. He had also previously been trespassed from City parks through 2027 due to his behavior.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Burke was lodged at the Benton County Jail on the following charges:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 163.175 &ndash; Assault in the Second Degree&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 166.220 &ndash; Unlawful Use of a Weapon&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 163.190 &ndash; Menacing&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 166.025 &ndash; Disorderly Conduct&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ORS 164.245 &ndash; Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Officer Souza at the Corvallis Police Department.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CORVALLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT ACHIEVES 30 CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF ACCREDITATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For the tenth time since becoming accredited in March of 1995, the Corvallis Police Department has once again been awarded CALEA reaccreditation, marking an incredible milestone of 30 consecutive years of accredited status. Founded in 1979, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) law enforcement accreditation process focuses on standards that provide best practices related to life, health, and safety procedures, and is considered the gold standard in police accreditation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;While this milestone is worth celebrating, it also reinforces our responsibility to continue striving for excellence in everything we do,&rdquo; says Police Chief Jason Harvey. &ldquo;I am honored to serve alongside such a dedicated group of professionals.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The reaccreditation cycle, which takes place over a four-year period, includes yearly status reports, annual web-based assessments, statistical reporting, a site-based assessment, and a commission review. The site-based assessment was completed in December of 2025, and agency leaders presented to the Board of CALEA Commissioners last week. There are over 450 best practice standards that must be met to achieve reaccreditation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Corvallis Police Department is proud to be one of just three agencies with CALEA Accreditation in the state of Oregon. The Meritorious Accreditation was awarded during the CALEA Spring Conference.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR (17 March 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; On the morning of March 17, 2026, the Marion County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office responded to two separate 911 calls received from 4758 State Street SE, in Salem. The first call occurred at approximately 6:13 a.m.; however, it was cleared after there was no response at the residence and there was no answer when deputies attempted to call back.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The second call occurred at approximately 6:54 a.m., and the caller indicated that they were being held hostage in a bathroom and disconnected the call.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Several deputies responded and entered the residence to conduct a welfare check. Shortly after entering, they contacted Juan Carlos Gomez-Valles (39) who was in possession of two knives. An altercation ensued, and at least one deputy fired, and Gomez-Valles was struck by a bullet. Deputies rendered immediate aid and Gomez-Valles was transported to Salem Hospital. He received medical care and is expected to recover from his injuries.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The involved deputies are Marion County Sheriff&rsquo;s Deputies Alan Jefferson and Tyson Gardner. Both are recruit deputies and have been on the job for less than one year. Neither was injured in this incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pursuant to Marion County protocol for deadly force incidents (Senate Bill 111 protocol) the Oregon State Police are investigating the incident with the assistance of the Salem and Keizer Police Departments. A judicial search warrant was obtained to search the residence and process the scene. The search warrant was signed by Marion County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Hart.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the time of the incident Juan Carlos Gomez-Valles was on parole. He is currently in custody on a parole violation detainer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The investigation is ongoing. No further information will be released to preserve a grand jury&rsquo;s objective review of the incident pursuant to standard procedure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any future release will be issued by the Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[TriMet Transit Police, Metropolitan Explosive Disposal Unit Provide Community Update on Suspicious Object at Interstate/Rose Quarter MAX Station]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.mcso.us/news-information/trimet-transit-police-metropolitan-explosive-disposal-unit-provide-community"&gt;Click to view this news release online.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) &ndash; TriMet Transit Police and the Metropolitan Explosive Disposal Unit have determined a suspicious object found in possession of a 42-year-old man did not contain any energized or explosive materials.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At approximately 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, Transit Police and deputies with the Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office &ndash; the lead agency for Transit Police - were conducting proactive patrols around the Moda Center in North Portland.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While on board a MAX train, deputies observed and contacted a man for a TriMet administrative rule violation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 42-year-old man, later identified as Jeremy Stavinoha, initially cooperated with MCSO deputies and exited the train at the Interstate/Rose Quarter MAX Station. During the investigation, Stavinoha tried leaving and was stopped.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is alleged that deputies found Stavinoha in possession of a cylinder-like object. Stavinoha also made a statement to deputies that elevated the public safety risk assessment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Based on the totality of the circumstances, including the object&rsquo;s appearance, construction and location to critical infrastructure, MCSO and PPB established a safe zone and requested assistance from the Metropolitan Explosive Disposal Unit (MEDU).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A MCSO K-9 deputy assigned to Transit Police as an explosive detection team also responded.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the on-scene investigation, MEDU used X-ray technology to identify metal spheres inside the approximately eight-inch tube.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MEDU secured the object and completed their render-safe procedures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MEDU has determined the object contained several steel balls but no energized or explosive materials.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The coordinated efforts of responding law enforcement helped to ensure a safe and controlled environment. Each step taken during this investigation was guided by training and a shared commitment to public safety.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies have booked Stavinoha into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of first-degree disorderly conduct, interfering with public transportation, resisting arrest and possession of a hoax destructive device.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Law enforcement cleared the scene around 10:15 a.m. on March 17, 2026, and TriMet resumed regular bus and MAX service through the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MCSO thanks PPB, MEDU, and TriMet for their assistance with this investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MEDU is a team of law enforcement officers who respond to explosive-related incidents in the Portland metropolitan area. MEDU members are trained to deal with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Transit Police:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (MCSO) leads the multi-agency TriMet Transit Police Division. Transit Police officers and deputies help to ensure a safe transit system by riding trains and buses and visiting platforms and stations. They respond to calls for service and investigate crimes that occur on TriMet property in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Current agencies comprising Transit Police include MCSO, the Portland Police Bureau, Port of Portland Police Department, Beaverton Police Department, Hillsboro Police Department, Lake Oswego Police Department, and the Multnomah County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;At 10:22 this morning the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the area of 6000 NE 60th avenue for the report of a broken natural gas line after a third party contractor was digging in the area and accidentally damaged the 2 inch line.

				<headline><![CDATA[Beaverton Police Seek Additional Victims After Man Indicted on Multiple Charges Involving Minors (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Beaverton Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward after a Washington County Grand Jury indicted 26-year-old Joshua Allan Delago on numerous charges involving multiple juvenile victims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Delago was indicted March 11, 2026, on 19 criminal counts involving nine victims. The charges include Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine to a Minor, Unlawful Delivery of a Marijuana Item, Rape in the Third Degree, Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree, and Attempted Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The indictment alleges that between 2019 and March 2026, Delago engaged in a pattern of behavior in which he provided drugs to underage female students and then sexually abused them. Several of the charges specifically allege the delivery of methamphetamine to minors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Detectives have identified nine victims in the investigation so far. However, based on the evidence gathered, investigators believe there may be additional victims who have not yet been identified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Beaverton Police Department is releasing this information in hopes that other victims or witnesses may come forward. Anyone who may have had contact with Delago, or who has information related to this case, or others like it, is encouraged to contact the Beaverton Police Department Investigations Division at 503-526-2280 and reference this investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Escapedf field burn east of Bend 3-16-26 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue was called to an escaped field burn this afternoon off of Powell Butte Hwy. The owner was out burning his ditches when the wind carried the fire past his containment and started to spread. Fire crews arrived and worked to stop the spread of the fire before it left the owners property. Bend Fire was assisted by Alfalfa Fire, ODF and BLM fire resources as well as DSCO for traffic control. The fire was stopped on their property at 6.6 acres. No damage to buildings or fences as found. The fire burning mostly pasture land with a few trees, brush piles, and brush surrounding the fields burning as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The owners have a current burn permit for burning fields. They were out burning ditches this afternoon but unfortunately didn&rsquo;t have all the water they should have to be prepared. They were following all the other rules of the permit and had called into to ensure burning was open today. With light winds predicted today, open burning was open today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Burning is open through May 31&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; each year for debris and field burning outside the city limits. This date may be moved up if we continue with the dry spring weather. Burning can be shut down from day to day when winds are predicted above 20mph. Burn permits are needed for field burning and for large piles. This permit includes a site visit to go over safe burning practices. The owner knows to have more water on hand for next year if they choose to burn again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions about burning, please call our office at 541-322-6386 to schedule a site visit. Debris burning is not allowed within the city limits of Bend year-round as per city ordinance. More information on burning regulations can be found on our website, &lt;a href="http://www.bendoregon.gov/fire"&gt;www.bendoregon.gov/fire&lt;/a&gt; and by clicking on the Outdoor Burning Informaiton tab.

				<headline><![CDATA[MOTOR VEHICLE VS. TRAIN CRASH WITH CRITICAL INJURIES (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan reports on March 14, 2026, at approximately 3:47 a.m., the Linn County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office Dispatch Center received a 911 call of a motor vehicle versus train crash at the intersection of Powerline Rd and Hwy 99 near Harrisburg, Linn County, Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The initial deputy observed the driver inside the vehicle was unresponsive but breathing.&amp;nbsp; Emergency personnel from Harrisburg Fire District and Central Lane Paramedics from Eugene/Springfield arrived and rendered medical aid. The driver, later identified as, Jon McKibben (age 72) from Terrebonne, Oregon, was transported to Riverbend Hospital for further treatment and remains in critical condition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The investigation revealed McKibben turned onto Powerline Rd from Hwy 99, then proceeded to drive northbound onto the train tracks, traveling about fifty feet before getting stuck on the tracks.&amp;nbsp; McKibben&rsquo;s vehicle was facing west (perpendicular to the tracks), and the train collided with the right rear quarter panel and passenger area, causing the vehicle to spin, and come to final rest blocking the north bound lane of Hwy 99.&amp;nbsp; The Union Pacific cargo train was traveling south when it collided with Mc Kibben&rsquo;s vehicle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies continued to work on the investigation, which included serving a search warrant to obtain McKibben&rsquo;s blood for testing for the presence of alcohol, as evidence indicated alcohol was a contributing factor. At this time, it is unknown why McKibben drove down the tracks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Linn County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office was assisted on scene by Harrisburg Fire District, Central Lane Paramedics, Union Pacific, and Oregon Department of Transportation. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Linn County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (541) 967-3950.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 1:52 p.m., Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputies responded to a hit-and-run crash in the 16900 block of NW Shadow Hills Lane in Bethany. Multiple people called 911 to report a person driving a dark SUV hit a pedestrian and fled the scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The pedestrian was taken to an area hospital with a broken leg. Multiple deputies searched the area for the vehicle but were unable to find it. The inter-agency Washington County Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team responded to lead the investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Witnesses reported the driver had been speeding through the area prior to the crash. The SUV was captured on several cameras, and a witness also took photos of it immediately after the crash. The videos show the driver racing through the neighborhood at high speeds. Deputies identified the SUV as a black Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, likely a 2021 or 2022 model year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputies are asking anyone with information about the Jeep or the person driving it at the time of the crash to call non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111 and reference case 50-26-3587.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;At 7:52 p.m. this evening, the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the 16500 block of SE 1st Street in the Cascade Park Estates neighborhood of East Vancouver for a reported house fire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Initial information from dispatch indicated the call came from a neighbor who reported that two homes appeared to be on fire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first arriving fire engine reached the scene within five minutes and confirmed active fire showing from two homes and a nearby carport. Fire crews initially deployed hose lines and made an interior attack in an effort to contain the fire. However, firefighters encountered extreme heat and rapidly deteriorating conditions inside the structure, forcing crews to evacuate and transition to an exterior defensive attack due to the heavy volume of fire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because of the intensity and spread of the fire, a second alarm was requested, bringing additional resources and mutual aid crews, including units from Camas Fire Department and other nearby agencies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Firefighters worked under very challenging fire conditions for well over an hour before ultimately gaining control of the fire affecting both homes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No injuries were reported among residents or firefighters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The cause of the fire remains under investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suspect Indicted and Arrested In Online Child Exploitation Investigation &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;March 13, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In October of 2025, an officer assigned to the Sherwood Police Investigations Unit initiated a proactive child predator sting investigation. During the investigation, the investigator utilized multiple dating applications, social media platforms, and other online services while posing as under the age of 15. Throughout the investigation, several individuals terminated conversations upon realizing they were communicating with someone who identified as a minor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, 22-year-old Pranav Joshi of Beaverton communicated with the investigator for several weeks and offered to meet who he believed to be a child for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity. Mr. Joshi made detailed plans to meet and sent explicit photographs to the investigator during these communications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In January of 2026, the case was presented to a Washington County Grand Jury, and they indicted Mr. Joshi on the following charges:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Luring a Minor (4 Counts)&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Online Sexual Corruption of a Child in the Second Degree (3 Counts)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the indictment, a Washington County Circuit Court Judge issued a Secret Indictment Arrest Warrant. Mr. Joshi was arrested without incident and lodged at the Washington County Jail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sherwood Police Department receives hundreds of child abuse reports each year, and these proactive missions are designed to identify and apprehend people before they victimize an actual child. Parents and guardians of children are strongly encouraged to monitor and help their children safely navigate online social networking on computers and smartphones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sherwood Police Department would like to thank the Washington County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office and the Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office for their assistance with this case. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Single-Vehicle Crash Investigated on NE 72nd Avenue (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On Friday, March 13, 2026, at approximately 11:45 a.m., Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office deputies were dispatched to a single-vehicle collision in the 14700 block of NE 72nd Avenue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A pickup truck traveling northbound on NE 72nd Avenue veered across the oncoming lane of travel and struck a guardrail before high-centering on a Jersey barrier. The barrier narrowly prevented the vehicle from falling several feet into Salmon Creek below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Firefighters from the Vancouver Fire Department, Engine 7 and Truck 5, secured the vehicle and removed the top so the driver could be safely extricated. The driver, a white male and the sole occupant of the vehicle, was transported by AMR to a local hospital for evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The driver is being investigated on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The collision caused several blocks of NE 72nd Avenue to be closed for more than an hour. The roadway reopened shortly after 1:00 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;This morning at approximately 8:50 a.m., fire crews responded to reports of a house fire at the intersection of SE Tibbetts Street and SE 52nd Avenue. Upon arrival, Engine 25 reported visible fire coming from the front of a one-story home. Crews quickly began suppression efforts and knocked down the main body of the fire by 8:55 a.m. Firefighters then searched the home for victims while extinguishing any remaining fire inside. No victims were found inside the residence. However, one person outside the home when crews arrived had suffered burns to their back and upper legs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An employee from NW Natural was driving by when he noticed the fire and stopped to help before PF&amp;amp;R's arrival. He assisted the injured person across the street to get them away from the burning building after noticing a large oxygen cylinder nearby. Shortly after they moved away from the area, the cylinder burned off, producing a brief fireball as the oxygen rapidly ignited.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AMR personnel responded to treat the injured individual and transported them to a burn center. Their condition is currently unknown, though they were conscious while being treated by crews.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fire extended into the area above the front porch but was quickly extinguished. Firefighters operating on the roof confirmed that the fire did not spread to the remaining roof structure. The incident was officially recalled at 9:02 a.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A fire investigator has been called to determine the cause of the fire. The incident remains under investigation, and the department&rsquo;s K9 investigator, Kiki, also responded to assist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Shortly after 3:45 p.m. today, multiple callers to 911 reported heavy smoke coming out of a two-story apartment building on SW Iron Horse Lane in Beaverton. Early reports also indicated that one occupant was injured.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While in route, firefighters could see a column of smoke rising in the distance. Upon arrival fire crews found heavy black smoke and flames billowing out the windows of a unit on the second floor. They also found a patient in front of the building who had fire-related injuries. The patient was treated on scene and then transported to an area hospital for further care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Firefighters then began an aggressive attack on the fire, first hitting the fire through the windows and then quickly moving interior to perform a search and ensure no other occupants remained in the building. The search confirmed that all occupants had exited the building; however, another occupant of the main fire unit was identified outside the building, treated on scene and eventually transported to an area hospital.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A fire investigator responded to the scene and the cause remains under investigation. Thank you to Beaverton Police, Portland General Electric, Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency, and American Medical Response who provided assistance.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;On February 23, 2023, Beaverton Police officers responded to a welfare check at an apartment complex located in the 1000 block of SW 160th Avenue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Officers were dispatched to the location after receiving a report of a subject yelling for help from inside an apartment. When officers arrived, they contacted then 19-year-old Talon Gabriel Mitchell of Beaverton. Inside the apartment, officers discovered Mitchell&rsquo;s wife, 24-year-old Oulaykham Mona Chopheng, deceased with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Mitchell was detained at the scene, and detectives with the Beaverton Police Department&rsquo;s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) were called to investigate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the investigation, detectives collected evidence which supported that Mitchell had shot and killed Chopheng earlier that evening. Mitchell was later indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury on charges of Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 10, 2026, Mitchell pleaded guilty to Manslaughter in the First Degree (with a firearm) and was sentenced to 240 months (20 years) in prison, with no post-prison supervision. He also pleaded guilty to Unlawful Use of a Weapon and received a 16-month sentence, which will run concurrently with the primary sentence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Beaverton Police Department recognizes the extensive work of patrol officers, detectives and prosecutors at the Washington County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office. The coordinated effort was instrumental in bringing justice to Chopheng and her family&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;PF&amp;amp;R Responds to landslide in SW Portland&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland Fire &amp;amp; Rescue SW Fire Stations and the Portland Fire Technical Rescue Team responded to a landslide in SW Portland Markham Neighborhood just before noon today. Crews were dispatched out to reports of a landslide covering all exits of an individual building of the Indian Hills Apartment Complex.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Engine 18 arrived first to report landslide had occurred that covered a portion of the parking lot and access roadway running between the slope and the apartment building. Additional information from the E18 crew to their command officer was that mud was still actively slowly moving down the slope. The crews of Engine 5 and Truck 10 worked on evacuating the 6-occupancy building with 2 of the 6 individual apartments occupied and residents escorted to safety The remaining 4 occupancies were left as is with no answer at the door. With few cars parked at the location and the time of day giving good indication that residents were away, PF&amp;amp;R elected to leave the unanswered apartments undamaged without forcing entry at each doorway. The Technical Rescue Team arrived on scene but cleared without operating any specialized equipment as no rescue was needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The City of Portland specialized landslide team and geotechnical engineering specialists out of Portland Permitting &amp;amp; Development (PP&amp;amp;D) are on scene evaluating the slope and any potential damage to the structure to ensure future occupancy is safe for all residents. There will also be an evaluation of the entire slope as well as the structural stability of the homes and structures located on the hillside above the area of the landslide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There were no reported injuries. It is unknown at this time if there will be any residential displacement. Red Cross was contacted and alerted to the reality that 6 apartments may be &ldquo;red tagged&rdquo; and unable to occupied until the incident is completely addressed which includes clean up and inspection of the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Landslides may continue to occur over the next few days as Portland is in the pathway of an atmospheric river and forecasted for continuous rain until early Saturday morning. Rainwater will continue saturating the soil leading to slippage and possible complete failure of a slope and landslides. When these landslides occur, they will spread along each side or laterally so standing at the base or alongside a recent landslide is an unsafe location. Do not approach a landslide and stand at the base of the slope as these are very unsafe locations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland Fire would like to take this opportunity to remind residents that it is a good idea to have a &ldquo;go bag&rdquo; ready in the event you are affected by something such as a landslide or any other natural disaster that may displace you temporarily. It is recommended to have a supply of clothing and any essentials that will allow you 14 days of successful living without having access to your primary home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland Fire would like to thank the dispatchers at BOEC, members of PBOT that responded, and the landslide specialists out of PPD were all instrumental in our success in this incident. Additionally, we would like to thank Portland Police for their assistance at blocking traffic as we were working this emergency incident.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[March 12, 2026, Tip of the Week - Spring Safety (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SPRING SAFETY&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the beginning of spring, many find themselves &ldquo;spring cleaning&rdquo; and spending more time outdoors. Spring is a great time to review a safety checklist for your home and complete a few updates that could save your life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Smoke Alarms &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Smoke alarms save lives &ndash; if they are powered by a fresh battery. Test smoke alarm batteries monthly and replace the battery at least once a year. Anytime the alarm makes a "chirping" sound, replace the batteries immediately.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Smoke alarms should be located in every bedroom and in the common areas on each floor of a home. Mount them at least 10 feet from the stove to reduce false alarms, less than 12 inches from the ceiling, and away from windows, doors, and ducts.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Smoke alarms can be interconnected wirelessly which means when one sounds, they all sound. This is a quick way to notify everyone in a home if there is a fire.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;When installing or replacing smoke alarms, purchase and install new alarms.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Practice how your family will react if smoke alarms go off and consider how that looks at different times through the day or at night. Do not forget to plan your escape from each room and include pets in the process.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.nfpa.org/education-and-research/home-fire-safety/smoke-alarms"&gt;National Fire Protection Association&lt;/a&gt; has additional resources on smoke alarm safety.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Carbon Monoxide Detectors&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless gas, that can kill you. Anything that burns fuel can potentially become a source of carbon monoxide. CO detectors should be installed in a central location outside each bedroom and on every level of the home.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Similar to smoke alarms, test CO detectors&rsquo; batteries monthly and replace them at least once a year or sooner if needed.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Consider interconnecting the detectors to alert the entire household at once.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Make sure vents for your gas appliances (fireplace, dryer, stove, furnace, etc.) are free and clear of snow and debris.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Only use gas powered grills and generators outside and away from doors, window, or air intakes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Household Emergency Plan&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every household needs an emergency plan, especially in the event of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event. Take time to create and review that plan with family, household members, and any neighbors that may have a part in the plan. Consider how your household will react to different emergencies, plan for evacuation routes and alternative routes, and review your emergency supplies. Remember, disasters can strike at any time. Consider what your actions will be if something happens at work, school, the grocery store, and in other areas you frequent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Emergency plan necessities:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A communications plan to outline how your family/household members will contact each another and where you will meet if you need to evacuate.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A shelter-in-place plan. This is often necessary during events where outside air is contaminated and unsafe. Remember to prepare supplies for sealing windows, doors, and air vents with plastic sheeting.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;An evacuation plan with various routes and destinations. If your household has access and functional needs, pets, livestock, or expensive equipment, plan on evacuating sooner so there is more time to safely leave the area. Before there is a disaster, research what friends, family, or hotels can accommodate your pets and livestock during an emergency.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A home and car emergency kit. Your emergency kit should include at least one gallon of water per day for each person, at least a 3-day* supply of non-perishable food, flashlight or headlamp and batteries, first aid kit, filter mask, plastic sheeting and duct tape, and medicines. *On the Oregon coast, it is recommended that households have enough supplies to be self-sufficient for at least 3-weeks. Unable to prepare 3-weeks of supplies? Some emergency supplies are still better than no emergency supplies.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A plan and supplies for your household&rsquo;s unique needs. Don&rsquo;t forget to plan for special circumstances such as mobility challenges, medical conditions, allergies, and other things that impact your household&rsquo;s comfort, health, and safety.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;March 12, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vancouver, WA&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; The Vancouver Fire Department responded late Wednesday night to a crash involving a fleeing suspect vehicle that struck a Washington State Patrol patrol car on southbound Interstate 205 near State Route 14.&amp;nbsp; At approximately 11:39 p.m. on March 11, crews were dispatched to a law enforcement incident involving the Vancouver Police Department. Officers had located a vehicle believed to be associated with a wanted subject and attempted a high-risk stop at the Alder Creek Apartments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The vehicle fled, leading officers on a pursuit. After reportedly striking spike strips, the vehicle&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;continued at high speeds before crashing into a Washington State Patrol vehicle on I-205.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Firefighters from Engine 8, Engine 6 and paramedics from American Medical Response treated three patients at the scene, including one with serious injuries, one with minor injuries, and a Washington State Patrol trooper.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All patients were transported to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center for further evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The incident remains under investigation by the Vancouver Police Department and the Washington State Patrol.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[MCSO Search and Rescue Team Safely Locates Missing Hikers in Columbia River Gorge]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. (MCSO) -- The Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office Search and Rescue (MCSOSAR) team successfully rescued two missing hikers in the Columbia River Gorge overnight following a lengthy effort through heavy rain and high winds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This incident began around 12 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, when the two hikers set out from the Horsetail Falls parking lot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Around 7:45 p.m., the City of Portland&rsquo;s Bureau of Emergency Communications (BOEC) received a 9-1-1 call from one of the hikers who reported becoming lost. Deputies responded and found the hikers&rsquo; vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SAR coordinators successfully contacted the hikers by phone and BOEC dispatchers mapped their approximate location. Despite the deteriorating weather conditions, ground teams - including the MCSO Green Hornets and SAR volunteers - deployed into the field.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rescue teams reached the two hikers at 11:56 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Search teams then began the slow process of escorting the hikers back through the difficult terrain. The group arrived safely at the Horsetail Falls parking lot at 4:58 a.m. on Wednesday, March 11, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although the hikers were soaked and cold due to the inclement weather, no injuries were reported. Once they had warmed up, teams on-site evaluated that the hikers were able to drive themselves home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This successful mission was a collaborative effort involving two MCSO sergeants, four deputies and 20 dedicated search and rescue volunteers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office would like to remind all hikers to be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions in the Gorge, especially during the spring months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Always carry the "&lt;a href="https://www.mcso.us/divisions/law-enforcement/search-rescue"&gt;Ten Essentials&lt;/a&gt;," including extra layers of clothing and reliable light source or flashlight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MCSO&rsquo;s Green Hornets Team is a small team of deputies, who possess advanced search and rescue skills. When a missing, overdue or lost hiker is reported, any working, available deputies assigned to the Green Hornets may respond to perform a hasty trail search. They focus on rapid assessment and urgent medical care, rather than slower, intensive grid searches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The team supports the MCSO Search and Rescue team. Members maintain advanced skills in navigation, emergency response, and technical rescue techniques to assist in critical incidents where time and conditions pose severe challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No photos from the search and rescue are available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Garage fire displaces family in Bend 3-10-26 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue was called to a fire in a garage in the 700 block of SE Douglas, just off Wilson Ave at 10:43 pm 3/10/26. The occupants were alerted to the fire by their smoke alarms and were able to evacuate safely and call 911 when the fire was still small. A quick response to the scene allowed the fire crews to keep the fire from spreading much beyond the single car garage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The cause was linked to woodstove ashes being disposed of into the trash inside the garage. The fire spread to the contents of the garage and was just starting to get into the house when fire crews extinguished it. Red Cross was called to provide assistance for the family as the house is unsafe to stay in for now. The renters and owners both have insurance to help rebuild. The loss is estimated at $50,000 to the building and contents.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is important to dispose of hot ashes from wood burning appliances correctly. Best practice is to first let ashes cool in the burning appliance for 2-3 days before taking them out.&amp;nbsp;Then when they have cooled significantly place them in a non-combustible container, such as a sturdy metal container with metal lid and leaving in the container, 10 feet away from any combustibles, until completely cool and extinguished.&amp;nbsp;This can take multiple days or even weeks.&amp;nbsp;Ashes taken out of a wood burning appliance can remain hot enough to ignite combustibles for 4 &ndash; 7 days, in some cases even longer, after they have been removed from the source. Even though they may not be smoking or feel hot to the touch, hot embers may be deep inside of ash and remain hot enough to support combustion.&amp;nbsp;Never place hot ashes in a plastic or combustible container or near combustible materials prior to ensuring complete extinguishment. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Working smoke alarms saved this family and lessened the damage to the house. Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue had helped the occupants of this house in late 2025 check their alarms and ensure they were working properly. This proactive work by the occupants ensured they were working in case of a fire. And tonight, that simple step helped save their lives. If you need assistance with your smoke alarms, call Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue at 541-322-6386 for free assistance in checking and installing your alarms. Last year Bend Fire &amp;amp; Rescue helped hundreds of families install 1,500 smoke alarms they purchased for their homes. If you don&rsquo;t live in the Bend area, check with your local fire department or the Central/Eastern Oregon Chapter of the Red Cross at 541-382-2142 for assistance.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&lt;em&gt;CORVALLIS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, Ore. &lt;/em&gt;- The Benton County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office is hosting a Drug Take Back Event on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10:00 am &ndash; 2:00 pm. This event allows the public to safely dispose of expired or unused medications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;This is a one-day drive-thru event at 4500 SW Research Way, Corvallis. Those interested in dropping off at this location are asked to enter the parking lot off Research Way and follow the signs and directions of the volunteers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;Some items are not allowed at the event. For safety reasons, these include thermometers, intra-venous solutions, needles, EpiPens&reg;, or medical waste of any kind. Vitamins and illegal drugs are also not accepted. Prescription and over-the counter medications can only be accepted from individual households, not from businesses such as nursing homes, doctor&rsquo;s offices, or veterinary clinics. A complete list of restricted items is posted on the Sheriff&rsquo;s Office website at https://sheriff.bentoncountyor.gov/drug-take-back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;This event is offered as a public safety service to help keep prescription drugs out of the hands of kids or others who might abuse them. Misuse of prescription drugs is a serious problem, especially with teens and young adults.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;Additionally, improperly disposing of medications, by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash, can lead to contamination of our drinking water. While most drugs can be treated at wastewater treatment plants, some cannot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;Community partners, Oregon State University Pharmacy Program and the City of Corvallis, are helping support this event, sanctioned by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), as part of its National Take-Back Initiative. The Sheriff&rsquo;s Office is able to offer this service with volunteer support from Reserve Deputies, Auxiliary Team, and Benton County Emergency Management Volunteer Corps.

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;PF&amp;amp;R responds to 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; Alarm Commercial Fire at Elephants Deli&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At 1:00 AM, Portland Fire was dispatched to a possible fire at 115 NW 22&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;, the Elephant&rsquo;s Deli. Crews arrived to what was possibly an exterior fire that had extended to the interior and into the roof structure of the nearly 7000 square foot building built in 1947.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The exterior portion of the fire was quickly extinguished, and crews accessed the interior to address any visible fire in the large open space of the commercial delicatessen. Fire had extended into the complex roof structure and was difficult to access from both the interior and exterior. Crews were on the roof using saws to gain access to the areas in the attic that had heavy fire involvement. Crews were also using long pike poles on the interior in attempt to access the attic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Crews were temporarily pulled off the roof with heavy fire pushing out of roof vents 20 minutes into the incident with a concern of switching tactics to a defensive fire attack posture. Radio communication made from the last officer to exit the structure indicating a body of fire was just located and could safely be addressed from both the interior and exterior had command continue permit the offensive fire attack. A second alarm was requested at around the 30 minute mark with aggressive smoke pushing out of vent holes and long flames shooting upwards from the roof at this time in the incident.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There was much concern that the fire and cuts had weakened the roof structure that was holding up a few large HVAC units along with multiple fire crews working on the roof. When it was determined that it was no longer safe to attempt accessing the body of fire within the complex roof structure, the command officer directed all members to withdraw from their locations, and a Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) was conducted to ensure all working on scene were accounted for. Crews worked to gain access through holes in the wall while working off ladders around an added awning in attempt at accessing body of fire trapped in an interior void space in the roof construction. Multiple holes were opened in the wall with no access to the fire present on the interior.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A tactical change was made to use the overhead master stream from a ladder truck to flood the roof complex and allow the water to find the fire from the top and drown in out with copious amounts of water. This change ended up leaving only Station 3 and C1 on scene working reducing the numbers of PF&amp;amp;R members on scene from nearly 60 to under 10.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland Fire Investigations Unit was on scene early to evaluate the fire and has begun working toward beginning a forensic evaluation of the scene to determine cause. There were no reported injuries. NW 22&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; between NW Everett and W Burnside will be closed until fire apparatus being used to extinguish the flames are able to relocate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fernando Adolip Cruz-Lerma, 25, pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute controlled substances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, in April and May 2019, Cruz-Lerma conspired with others to engage in drug trafficking. In April, Cruz-Lerma transported a victim from the state of Washington to Clackamas County due to a drug debt that the victim owed to members of the drug trafficking conspiracy. The victim was killed by members of the drug trafficking conspiracy in furtherance of the conspiracy. Cruz-Lerma assisted with leaving the victim&rsquo;s body along a rural road in Clackamas County after the victim had been killed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In May 2019, Cruz-Lerma distributed approximately two pounds of methamphetamine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On June 6, 2023, a federal grand jury in Portland returned an superseding indictment charging Cruz-Lerma with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribute controlled substances and to use a communication facility and distribution of methamphetamine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cruz-Lerma faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, a lifetime of supervised release, and a fine of $10 million. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years of imprisonment and five years of supervised release. He will be sentenced on July 8, 2026, before a U.S. district court judge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As part of the plea agreement, Cruz-Lerma has agreed to pay restitution in full. Marcos Alonso Castillo-Bernal has previously &lt;a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/portland-area-drug-trafficker-sentenced-26-years-federal-prison-role-deadly-kidnapping"&gt;been sentenced&lt;/a&gt; as part of this investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford of the District of Oregon made the announcement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Portland Police Bureau, the Clackamas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, and the Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF). The U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office for the District of Oregon is prosecuting the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CCITF, led by the Clackamas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, works to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking organizations operating in and around Clackamas County, and reduce illegal drugs and related crimes throughout the community. The task force is comprised of members from the Canby Police Department, Clackamas County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, Oregon State Police, the FBI, and the Oregon National Guard Counterdrug Task Force. CCITF is supported by our community with the passage of the Public Safety Levy and grant funding from the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Registered Sex Offender Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison for  Accessing Child Sexual Abuse Material (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash;An Aloha, Oregon, man was sentenced to federal prison yesterday for accessing with the intent to view child sexual abuse material while on probation for a 2023 conviction for sex abuse.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thomas Allen Vetsch, 56, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison and 10 years of supervised release. He is a registered sex offender due to a 2006 conviction for encouraging child sex abuse.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Protecting our children is the District of Oregon&rsquo;s top priority,&rdquo; said U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford. &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s sentence reflects our commitment to holding repeat offenders accountable.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Mr. Vetsch&rsquo;s 10-year sentence is clearly warranted, as he is a repeat offender with previous convictions for sexual abuse of a minor and accessing child sexual abuse material,&rdquo; said Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Seattle acting Special Agent in Charge April Miller. &ldquo;HSI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to identify those engaged in the exploitation of children, whether directly or indirectly, and will continue to seek out and arrest those who access these materials.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, on July 22, 2024, investigators searched Vetsch&rsquo;s residence and seized a laptop containing 43 images of child sexual abuse material.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On August 20, 2024, a federal grand jury in Portland returned an indictment charging Vetsch with transportation of child pornography and access with intent to view child pornography.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On January 12, 2026, Vetsch pleaded guilty to accessing with intent to view child pornography.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was investigated by HSI. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mira Chernick and Pamela Paaso.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone who has information about the physical or online exploitation of children is encouraged to contact HSI at (866) 347-2423 or submit a tip online at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://report.cybertip.org/" target="_blank"&gt;report.cybertip.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Federal law defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor. It is important to remember child sexual abuse material depicts actual crimes being committed against children. Not only do these images and videos document the victims&rsquo; exploitation and abuse, but when shared across the internet, re-victimize and re-traumatize the child victims each time their abuse is viewed. To learn more, please visit the National Center for Missing &amp;amp; Exploited Children at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.missingkids.org/" target="_blank"&gt;www.missingkids.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was brought in collaboration with Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by the U.S. Attorneys&rsquo; Offices and the DOJ&rsquo;s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; April 7, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;&ndash; Last week, Marion County Circuit Court Judge Amy Queen sentenced Erikson Bossy (23) to 60 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections after the defendant pled guilty to one count of Unlawful Use of a Firearm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On December 29, 2025, the victim, Romel Lopez-Hernandez was walking near the intersection of Vinyard Ave NE and Knox Ave NE.&amp;nbsp; Bossy, in a red sedan, pulled up and exited the vehicles driver&rsquo;s seat.&amp;nbsp; After an exchange of words, Bossy removed a concealed handgun and pointed it at the ground in front of the victim.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Salem Police Department responded to the victim&rsquo;s call, and after obtaining a description of the defendant, secured a search warrant to search Bossy&rsquo;s home.&amp;nbsp; Upon executing the warrant, detectives found the weapon that matched the description, and two additional firearms. They also found a flag, a ski mask with &lsquo;savage&rsquo; embroidered on it and a red ski mask, linking Bossy to &ldquo;Savage Block,&rdquo; which is a local street gang. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Bossy, who was on supervision at the time of the crime, has previous convictions including unlawful possession of firearms.&amp;nbsp; He was arrested on January 8, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Marion County Chief Deputy District Attorney Brendan Murphy said, &ldquo;Gang-related behavior, especially arbitrary violence to increase fear of a particular gang poses a serious threat to public safety and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office extends its sincere gratitude to the Salem Police Department for its excellent and thorough investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash;A Portland, Oregon, man was sentenced to federal prison today for his role in an interstate drug trafficking organization.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luis Garcia Zurita, 38, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison and five years of supervised release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, Garcia Zurita was both an interstate drug transporter and local distributor for a Mexico-based drug trafficking organization operating in Portland. In August 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) determined that Garcia Zurita was traveling from Los Angeles, California, to Oregon. Investigators conducted a stop of Garcia Zurita and subsequently applied for and were granted a search warrant for his vehicle. Agents seized from the vehicle approximately 4 kilograms of fentanyl pills and 2 kilograms of cocaine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 5, 2025, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a two-count indictment charging Garcia Zurita with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On December 1, 2025, Garcia Zurita pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was investigated by the DEA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Clackamas County Interagency Task Force (CCITF). It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul T. Maloney.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;DALLAS (OR) &ndash; Blake Alexander Pierce, 29, has been sentenced to serve eight years in prison after pleading guilty in Polk County Circuit Court on April 1, 2026, to assault and weapons charges related to an attack on his domestic partner in December of 2025. Pierce also pled guilty to assaulting another inmate in the Polk County Jail while awaiting trial on this matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pierce, of Salem, appeared before Circuit Judge pro tem Timothy R. Park and pled guilty to Assault in the Second Degree, Assault in the Fourth Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Felon in Possession of a Weapon. He will also be required to serve 24 months of Post Prison Supervision upon his release from custody.

				<headline><![CDATA[U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office Files Petition Seeking Information  to Locate Violent Criminal Aliens in Oregon (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash; Today the U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office for the District of Oregon filed a petition seeking information from four Oregon counties, Clackamas, Marion, Multnomah, and Washington, to locate violent felons who are likely subject to removal from the United States and under these counties&rsquo; supervision.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On November 24, 2025, the U.S. District Court granted a similar petition against the same counties for information to locate 10 violent criminal aliens Oregon officials released into the community. The violent criminal aliens had been convicted in Oregon of a variety of crimes, including rape and sodomy of a minor child, assault, kidnapping, and manslaughter. In its order, the court noted that Oregon law &ldquo;explicitly permits state law enforcement agencies to &lsquo;exchange information with a federal immigration authority.&rsquo;&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently, there are more than 300 active immigration detainers at the Oregon Department of Corrections for criminals likely subject to removal from the United States.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The District of Oregon will continue to prioritize the safety of all Oregonians,&rdquo; said Scott E. Bradford, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. &ldquo;We will continue our efforts to prevent violent criminal aliens from further harming our community.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This petition seeks information possessed by the counties to locate more than 30 violent criminal aliens who have victimized Oregonians through a variety of criminal conduct like sexual abuse, rape, assault, and domestic violence. Following prison sentences, Oregon officials released these violent criminal aliens into Oregon communities rather than to federal immigration authorities, who sent immigration detainers to Oregon officials. State officials did not honor those detainers and released the following violent criminal aliens into Oregon communities:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;CASE: 24CR19333&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Portland, OR- Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Christopher Marshall on March 31, 2026, sentenced 22-year-old Antony Kassab to 30 years in prison for tracking and killing a homeless stranger in Gresham then later tracking and trying to kill another homeless man he also did not know. .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Kassab pled guilty to First Degree Manslaughter in the murder of Cody Funk. He also pled guilty to Attempted Murder in the Second Degree for an attack on David McQuown.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Sean Hughey prosecuted the case for the state. After the sentencing he said:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;Cody Funk and David McQuown were both subjected to an unprovoked attack by a complete stranger.&amp;nbsp; Cody Funk left behind a family who loved him, and while this sentence can provide some measure of accountability, no sentence can fill the void caused by this senseless killing.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The District Attorney&rsquo;s Office would like to thank Gresham Police Detectives Justin Pick and Mark Hawley for their outstanding investigation that led to the conviction of the defendant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;We would also like to highlight the work of MCDA Victim Advocates Alie Aguilera and Alex Bidwell for the care and compassion they showed the victim families in this case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Facts:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;On December 26, 2023 Kassab stabbed Cody Funk in the neck and chest at a bus stop in the Rockwood neighborhood. Mr. Funk was found dead several blocks away. The men did not know each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash;A Guatemalan National unlawfully residing in the United States pleaded guilty today after intentionally striking a government vehicle with his car.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Alvaro Carrillo, 33, pleaded guilty to depredation of government property.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to court documents, on November 11, 2025, federal border patrol agents assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers initiated a traffic stop of a car Carrillo was driving. Carrillo put the car in drive and fled the scene. Carrillo struck the border patrol agents&rsquo; vehicle several times during the pursuit, ultimately losing control of his car and colliding with a concrete barrier.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On December 9, 2025, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a two-count indictment charging Carrillo with aggravated assault and depredation of government property.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carrillo was sentenced today to time served after serving nearly five months in custody and he was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,409.27.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case. The U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office for the District of Oregon prosecuted the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Portland, OR- Daniel Dean Gallagher, 32-years-old, was sentenced to 65 months prison (5 years and 5 months) after he pled guilty to six counts of Burglary in the First Degree, Theft in the First Degree on March 30, 2026. He was also sentenced to three years post prison supervision.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;From 2023 to 2026 Mr. Gallagher entered multiple different apartment complexes in the Pearl District and inner Southeast Portland. Mr. Gallagher manipulated door sensors and locks with burglar tools&amp;nbsp; in order to access controlled areas in the apartment complexes. Mr. Gallagher stole items from the apartment manager&rsquo;s offices, bike rooms, and other storage units in the apartment complex. There were over fifteen incidents linked to Mr. Gallagher.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Aileen Santoyo prosecuted the case for the state. After the guilty plea and sentencing she said:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Colombian National Unlawfully in the United States Pleads Guilty to Interstate Burglary Conspiracy Targeting Asian American Business Owners (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;EUGENE, Ore.&mdash; A Colombian national unlawfully residing in the United States pleaded guilty today in federal court for his role in a multi-state burglary conspiracy that targeted Asian American business owners in Oregon and Washington.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jhon Alexander Quintero, also known as Edwin Andres Cadena-Pineda, 45, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen goods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, in early October 2025, Quintero and six co-conspirators targeted homes for burglary in Oregon and Washington by traveling from state to state, staying in short-term rentals, identifying and surveilling potential burglary victims&mdash;who were all Asian American business owners&mdash;and then performing reconnaissance on the victims&rsquo; residences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When they carried out the burglaries, Quintero and his co-conspirators employed signal jamming technology, perimeter countersurveillance, and seven-way group calls. They entered their victims&rsquo; homes by shattering glass doors. Once inside, they ransacked the residences, stealing United States and foreign currency, jewelry, designer handbags, purses, wallets, travel documents, and other valuables. After the burglaries, the crew returned to their short-term rental and package the proceeds for transport, transfer, or transmittal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The investigation revealed that Quintero and the crew burglarized a home in Auburn, Washington, on October 3, 2025, then a home in Gresham, Oregon, on October 5, then a home in Eugene, Oregon, on October 6, and a home in Salem, Oregon, on October 9. All the burglary victims were Asian American business owners who were away working at their businesses. Between the Eugene and Salem burglaries, detectives with the Eugene Police Department became aware of the group&rsquo;s movements and began surveillance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the burglary in Salem, detectives learned that Quintero and his co-conspirators returned to their rental in Eugene and executed a search warrant at the rental that night. Investigators recovered money and property, believed to be stolen from the various residences, more than a dozen cell phones, believed to be used by the burglary crew, evidence of money wires to Bogota, Colombia, and various Colombian travel documentation, including passports. They also located commercial-grade Wi-Fi signal jammers that were plugged in and charging following their suspected use during the burglary that day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upon noticing the officers executing the search warrant, Quintero and the rest of the crew fled into a nearby wooded area. Law enforcement eventually detained all seven individuals. Investigators later performed searches of the devices, which revealed additional evidence of the conspiracy, including sending and receiving coordinates for the houses they burglarized, surveillance communications, and shared messages containing messages highlighting the burglary targets from the preceding days. For instance, Quintero researched the value of jewelry the night of the Auburn burglary, received the contact information for a Colombian shipping company two days after the Eugene burglary and then called that company, and returned to the Eugene rental to package stolen property the night of the Salem burglary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On November 20, 2025, a federal grand jury in Eugene returned an indictment charging Quintero and the other six members of the burglary crew with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen goods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On December 3, 2025, Quintero made his initial appearance in federal court and was ordered detained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quintero faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. He will be sentenced on June 30, 2026, before a U.S. district court judge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Eugene Police Department with assistance from the Salem Police Department, the Auburn Police Department, and the Gresham Police Department. &amp;nbsp;It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney William M. McLaren.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash;A Portland, Oregon, man has been charged by criminal complaint with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aaron Nathaniel Gabbert, 50, made his initial appearance on Friday before a U.S. magistrate judge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, on March 25, 2026, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office conducted a search warrant for Gabbert&rsquo;s residence after identifying Gabbert as a narcotics distributor. During the search warrant, investigators seized 34 firearms, including rifles, a shotgun, and handguns, many of which were loaded. Investigators also located a ballistic helmet and vest, along with approximately one pound of cocaine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The majority of the cocaine was located in the basement along with multiple firearms, over $11,000 in cash, and an apparent 3-D printed firearm suppressor, also known as a &ldquo;silencer.&rdquo; Investigators also located what appeared to be two destructive devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Multnomah County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office- Special Investigation Unit- Dangerous Drugs Team are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Scott M. Kerin and Kemp Strickland are prosecuting the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon-Idaho HIDTA program is an Office of National Drug Control Policy sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multi-agency drug enforcement initiatives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This arrest is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion. The HSTF is a whole-of-government partnership dedicated to eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad. Through historic interagency collaboration, the HSTF directs the full might of United States law enforcement towards identifying, investigating, and prosecuting the full spectrum of crimes committed by these organizations, which have long fueled violence and instability within our borders. In performing this work, the HSTF places special emphasis on investigating and prosecuting those engaged in child trafficking or other crimes involving children. The HSTF further utilizes all available tools to prosecute and remove the most violent criminal aliens from the United States. HSTF Portland comprises agents and officers from multiple agencies with the prosecution being led by the United States Attorney&rsquo;s Office for the District of Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Marion County Grand Jury Determines Deputy Justified in Use of Deadly Force, Suspect Indicted]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; March 27, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;&ndash; Today, a Marion County Grand Jury unanimously found that Marion County Sheriff Deputy Alan Jefferson was justified in using deadly force against Juan Carlos Gomez-Valles, age 39, during an incident on March 17, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Marion County Sheriff Deputies responded to a 911 call from a residence off State Street in Marion County on the morning of March 17, 2026.&amp;nbsp; A second 911 call from the same location followed while a deputy was still on scene. The deputy cleared the scene when nobody from the residence came to the door. Shortly thereafter, a third 911 call was made from the same location, where the caller said they were being held captive in the home. Once again, deputies responded and this time entered the residence with occupants&rsquo; consent and given the additional safety concerns.&amp;nbsp; Inside, Gomez-Valles came out of a bedroom with a knife in each hand. He failed to relinquish the weapons despite commands to do so and advanced towards the deputies.&amp;nbsp; Deputy Jefferson fired his weapon striking Gomez-Valles.&amp;nbsp; He was treated on scene and transported by medics to Salem Health, where he was subsequently released on March 23, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No deputies were harmed during this encounter.&amp;nbsp; The Oregon State Police responded as an outside agency to lead the full investigation as is consistent with the Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office &lt;a href="https://www.co.marion.or.us/SO/Pages/SB111.aspx"&gt;Senate Bill 111 Use of Deadly Force Protocol&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Grand Jury heard from ten witnesses including all 6 Marion County Deputies who responded, as well as Detectives from the Oregon State Police.&amp;nbsp; They also reviewed evidence collected at the scene including photographs, listened to 911 Calls, and considered relevant medical records from Salem Heath.&lt;a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; The knives were also made available for the Grand Jury to view and a relative of Gomez-Valles testified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The same Grand Jury that found Deputy Jefferson&rsquo;s actions to be justified also indicted Juan Carlos Gomez-Valles for:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Two counts of Attempted Assault in the Second Degree&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Two counts of Unlawful Use of a Weapon&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Two counts of Menacing&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gomez-Valles is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday March 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 2026, at 2:30PM at the Marion County Court Annex located at 4000 Aumsville Highway in Salem.&amp;nbsp; He is currently being held at the Linn County jail.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unlawful Use of a Weapon is a Class C Felony punishable by a maximum of 5 years in prison. Menacing and Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon are both Class A Misdemeanors punishable by a maximum of a year in jail.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Marion County District Attorney Paige Clarkson stated, &ldquo;I am grateful for the Grand Jury&rsquo;s thorough and thoughtful review of all the circumstances in this case.&amp;nbsp; These matters are always a reminder of the professionalism of law enforcement and the real danger that they face as they respond to calls for help.&amp;nbsp; We are all thankful that everyone involved in this incident survived and is safe.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Due to the ongoing nature of this criminal prosecution, the DA&rsquo;s Office will not release any further details at this time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;####&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;DALLAS (OR) &ndash; Polk County Circuit Judge Norman Hill today sentenced 63-year-old Terry Lawrence Allwen to life in prison after a jury convicted him on March 20, 2026, of Murder in the Second Degree. The terms of the sentence allow for a review by the parole board after 25 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Judge Hill also sentenced Allwen for his convictions on Manslaughter in the First Degree, Assault in the First Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Felon in Possession of a Weapon. Those sentences were ordered to be served concurrently with his life sentence. Allwen will also be required to serve a lifetime term of Post-Prison Supervision if he is ever released from custody.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Polk County Chief Deputy District Attorney Matthew T. Wilson and Deputy District Attorney Connor Amundson prosecuted the case for the state. After the sentencing, Wilson said: &ldquo;Mr. Johnson had many more years to spend with his family. His senseless murder destroyed the dreams and plans of so many that loved him. I hope that the fact Mr. Allwen today received the maximum possible sentence will bring the family of Mr. Johnson some relief and sense of justice.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Facts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On May 31, 2024, Allwen was a tenant staying in a recreational vehicle parked on property in Falls City owned by Johnson. At approximately 9:00 a.m., the two men became involved in a verbal exchange over items of personal property. During the altercation, Allwen retrieved a shotgun from the trunk of his vehicle and shot Johnson a single time, killing him.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Polk County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office commends the work of&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; the Polk County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and the Oregon State Police in their investigation that resulted in Mr. Allwen being brought to justice.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On January 17, 2026, at approximately 4:00 a.m., Salem Police were contacted by a witness observing an Audi sedan, &ldquo;doing cookies&rdquo; on the grass field of West Salem Park. Responding Salem Police officers located both the vehicle and driver, Miller, several blocks from the park. Within the vehicle and in reach of the driver&rsquo;s seat was a loaded Glock .22 semi-automatic handgun modified to fully automatic with an attached ammunition drum. On further contact, Miller admitted to officers he had been consuming alcoholic beverages, which was confirmed by an Intoxilyzer sample.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Judge Campbell sentenced Miller to three years of probation, 80 hours of community service work, and ordered the weapon forfeited.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The case was investigated by the Salem Police Department. It was prosecuted by Polk County Deputy District Attorney Kaylee Hudson.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash; The owner of Oregon Clinical Laboratory in Klamath Falls, Oregon, has been charged by criminal complaint with healthcare fraud after allegedly participating in a scheme to fraudulently bill Medicare Advantage insurance plans for laboratory testing services never performed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jahangeer Ali, 34, a citizen of Pakistan, made his first appearance on February 27, 2026, in the Central District of California. A detention hearing was held on March 4, 2026, in the Central District of California and Ali was ordered detained pending further court proceedings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, from June 2025 through January 2026, Oregon Clinical Laboratory submitted more than $46 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare Advantage plans. However, no providers actually ordered testing services and none of the Medicare Advantage beneficiaries on the claims actually received testing services from the company. As a result of the fraud, Medicare Advantage plans paid out over $28 million on the fraudulent claims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On February 26, 2026, Ali was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport prior to boarding a flight to Turkey with an ultimate destination of Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A detention hearing was held today in the District of Oregon and Ali was ordered to remain in custody pending further court proceedings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General and Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew T. Ho is prosecuting the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Portland, OR-Martre Oliver, now 29-years-old was sentenced&amp;nbsp; to 150 months (12.5 years) in prison on Friday March 20, 2026 in connection with the death of his brother, Martese Oliver.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;He was convicted of Manslaughter in the First Degree, Felon in Possession of a Firearm with a Firearm and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Kristen Kyle-Castelli prosecuted the case for the state. After the sentencing she said: The death of Martese Oliver was violent, tragic and unnecessary. A fight between brothers dramatically escalated when the defendant pulled a gun and shot Martese Oliver multiple times. The State sought and secured justice for Martese Oliver, who did not deserve to die.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

There they found Martese Oliver suffering from gunshot wounds. When medical personnel arrived they pronounced him dead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Police reviewed the security footage from the night of the shooting captured by cameras at the Howard Johnson. The footage showed a smaller blue SUV arriving off of NE 82nd. Two people got out and there was a disturbance near the driver&rsquo;s side of the vehicle. As the individuals moved away from the headlights of the car, Martese Oliver appeared to strike Martre Oliver who fell to the ground and out of camera view. Martese Oliver walked toward Martre Oliver and three flashes of light and blasts from a gunshot were seen. Martre Oliver was identified from the surveillance video.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Mexican National Unlawfully Residing in the United States Accused of Laundering Millions of Dollars in Narcotics Trafficking Proceeds (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;MEDFORD, Ore.&mdash; The owner and operator of Tienda Santa Maria II LLC has been charged with money laundering after using his money service businesses to launder narcotics trafficking proceeds and structure financial transactions to avoid suspicion of law enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jose Alonso Paramo Arguello, 45, a citizen of Mexico and unlawfully residing in the United States, has been charged by criminal complaint with money laundering.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, Arguello is the owner and operator of Tienda Santa Maria II in Phoenix, Oregon, along with two other businesses, Tienda Santa Maria in Medford, Oregon, and Paramos Barber Shop in Central Point, Oregon. Arguello uses his three businesses to transfer narcotics trafficking proceeds to Mexico by breaking down transactions into smaller amounts and using fake names and addresses for the money senders to conceal the true nature and source of the funds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From January 2, 2024, through December 3, 2025, Arguello&rsquo;s three money service businesses transferred more than $13 million in wire transfers of $500 or more to Mexico, an amount often indicative of narcotics trafficking. Of that, over $7 million was sent to locations in Mexico associated with narcotics trafficking.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) provided an informant with cash to attempt to wire money to Mexico. The informant told Arguello he was a drug dealer to which Arguello responded, &ldquo;You sell whatever you want, you&rsquo;re a merchant, period.&rdquo; From November 2025 through January 2026, Arguello laundered over $45,000 in what the informant represented as drug trafficking proceeds through 22 wire transfers. While doing so, Arguello received a 10% commission to launder the funds. Arguello referred to this commission as a bribe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Arguello made his first appearance in federal court today before a U.S. Magistrate judge. He was ordered detained pending a further court proceeding scheduled for March 23, 2026, in Medford.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;IRS-CI is investigating the case with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations, the Illegal Marijuana Enforcement Team (IMET), and Jackson County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher Cardani&amp;nbsp;and Julia Jarrett are prosecuting the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This&amp;nbsp;arrest is&amp;nbsp;part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion. The HSTF is a whole-of-government partnership dedicated to eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad. Through historic interagency collaboration, the HSTF directs the full might of United States law enforcement towards identifying, investigating, and prosecuting the full spectrum of crimes committed by these organizations, which have long fueled violence and instability within our borders. In performing this work, the HSTF places special emphasis on investigating and prosecuting those engaged in child trafficking or other crimes involving children. The HSTF further utilizes all available tools to prosecute and remove the most violent criminal aliens from the United States. HSTF Portland comprises agents and officers from FBI, HSI, DEA, USMS, IRS-CI, ATF, USPIS, CBP, TSA, U.S. Coast Guard, Oregon Air and Army National Guard Counterdrug program, Oregon-Idaho HIDTA with the prosecution being led by the United States Attorney&rsquo;s Office for the&amp;nbsp;District of Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;HILLSBORO, Ore- On March 13, 2026, a Washington County jury found Porfirio Arevalo Flores, age 31, guilty of nine counts related to his sexual abuse of two children. Deputy District Attorney Matt Wise prosecuted this case before Judge Kathleen Proctor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2021, one of the victims reported the abuse to family members who then contacted the Tigard Police Department. The victim told investigators that the defendant sexually abused her multiple times in 2008. During the course of the investigation, law enforcement learned of a second victim who reported similar abuse by the defendant dating back to 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Washington County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office commends both victims in this case for their bravery in reporting this abuse. This office also acknowledges the work of the Tigard Police Department.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash; A federal grand jury in Portland returned an indictment last Tuesday charging a Portland man with threatening an elected official and a minor victim online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Travis William Juhr, 41, has been charged with transmitting interstate threats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, Juhr threatened an elected official in Nevada when he left a threatening voicemail and posted on his X account, &ldquo;I hope you have your doors and windows locked. Because I love a challenge when hunting my PREY&hellip;&rdquo; along with a photograph of the victim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Additionally, Juhr threatened a minor victim because the victim attended a counter-protest to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The minor victim received several threatening messages from Juhr from different X accounts after the victim&rsquo;s personal identifying information was posted online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Juhr made his first appearance in federal court Friday before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. He was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If convicted, Juhr faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, 3 years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The FBI is investigating the case. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan G. Bodell is prosecuting the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Sam Wilton prosecuted the case for the state. After the sentencing he said:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;The victim is lucky to be alive. If not for the help of first responders, including the Trauma Team at OHSU, he would no longer be with us. It is horrifying to think that Mr. Garcia brutally attacked him over a dispute about rent. That sort of senseless violence can&rsquo;t be tolerated. I&rsquo;m grateful the Major Crimes Unit and the Special Emergency Reaction Team of the Portland Police Bureau were able to apprehend Mr. Garcia after he fled so that he could face justice.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The District Attorney&rsquo;s Office would like to highlight the work of the Portland Police Bureau, including their Major Crimes Unit and Detective RaeLynn Mckay, as well as the officers of the Special Emergency Reaction Team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;MCDA would also like to recognize the work of MCDA Victim Advocate Alex Bidwell for the care and compassion he showed to the victim here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE FACTS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;On March 6, 2025 the defendant and the victim&amp;nbsp; were living as roommates. An ongoing argument had developed between them over Garcia not paying his share of the expenses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;According to the victim, Garcia returned on March 6, 2025 after being away and stabbed the victim 10 times. Mr. Garcia then fled. First responders arrived to find the visibly-injured victim. He was taken by ambulance to hospital, where the Trauma Team at OHSU saved his life. Police apprehended Garcia in April 2026.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;State of Oregon v. Samuel T. Landis &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; March 12, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;&ndash; The Oregon Department of Justice has decided to not seek further appellate review of the federal court&rsquo;s dismissal in &lt;em&gt;State of Oregon v. Samuel T. Landis&lt;/em&gt;. This decision was made after carefully weighing whether to take the rare step of petitioning the United States Supreme Court and the potential impact such a decision could have on future cases. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In March of 2023, Landis, a federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent, was conducting a federal drug investigation in Salem, Oregon.&amp;nbsp; At the time, Landis was doing surveillance of a suspected drug trafficker when he purposefully ran a stop sign and struck a bicyclist who had the right of way. The victim, Marganne Allen, sustained injuries that resulted in her death.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In August 2023, a Marion County Grand Jury indicted Agent Landis with criminally negligent homicide for causing her death. At Landis&rsquo; request, the case was removed to federal court based on a claim of federal immunity.&amp;nbsp; This removal was granted over Marion County District Attorney objections. Subsequently, the federal U.S. District Court dismissed the charge of criminally negligent homicide, ruling that Landis&rsquo; actions were within the scope of his federal employment and reasonable under the circumstances, which entitled him to immunity from state prosecution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That legal principle, known as Supremacy Clause Immunity, is a constitutional doctrine that insulates federal employees from state criminal prosecution if they are carrying out their federal duties. Immunity applies when the act in question was authorized by federal law and the person subjectively believed the action was justified and that belief was objectively reasonable under the existing circumstances. When these conditions are met, state actors- like a District Attorney&rsquo;s Office- cannot convict an individual because federal authority takes precedence over conflicting state laws.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office sought to appeal that dismissal, a process which is litigated by the Oregon Department of Justice.&amp;nbsp; In April 2025, the Oregon Department of Justice asked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court to overturn the trial judges&rsquo; dismissal and reinstate the charge against Landis.&amp;nbsp; In December, the Ninth Circuit agreed with the lower district court and found that Landis acted within the scope of his authority and was entitled to immunity from prosecution for the death of Margane Allen. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the Supreme Court takes up a legal question, its ruling shapes the law for everyone, in every state, for years to come. After careful consideration, ODOJ concluded that pursuing this case to the Supreme Court carried a real risk of producing a ruling that would make it harder &mdash; not easier &mdash; to hold people accountable in future cases. ODOJ did not want this tragedy to become the vehicle for that outcome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Marganne Allen&rsquo;s death was a tragic loss for her husband, children, other family members and our community. While we respect the legal process and the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, it is nonetheless disappointing that the criminal charge cannot proceed and there will be no justice for the family,&rdquo; said Marion County District Attorney Paige Clarkson. She went on to say, &ldquo;We are grateful to our partners at the Oregon Department of Justice and appreciate the collaborative work with the Attorney General in the attempt to seek accountability for this criminal act.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Our hearts go out to the family of Marganne Allen, and to everyone who loved her,&rdquo; said Attorney General Dan Rayfield. &ldquo;The Oregon Department of Justice pursued extraordinary avenues to hold Mr. Landis accountable for her tragic death &mdash; filing actions in federal courts that are rarely used, arguing before the Ninth Circuit not once but twice, and seeking reconsideration when that court ruled against us. While this case is at an end, we remain committed to fighting for justice for every Oregonian.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:aptos,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The family wishes to release &lt;a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VaZBa8emruJwIoLHOno_IU7PtkTjBCQc/view?usp=sharing"&gt;this statement &lt;/a&gt;in regards to the events.&lt;/span&gt; Please respect the family's wish for privacy during this time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; March 13, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;- Today, Marion County District Attorney Paige Clarkson convened a grand jury to inquire into the conditions and management of the Oregon State Hospital located in Salem, Marion County, Oregon.&amp;nbsp; This inquiry is required under Oregon Revised Statute 132.440.&amp;nbsp; The Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office conducted a similar inquiry into the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn last year (final report can be found &lt;a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1afdFWVLRO7r5BICWutvvd6EjRpRYP1rt?usp=sharing"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left:.5in;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Our state&rsquo;s most crucial facility serving those with mental illness is housed right here in the heart of Salem.&amp;nbsp; The Oregon State Hospital is statutorily responsible for the majority of our state&rsquo;s criminal justice response to the behavioral health crisis plaguing our communities&rdquo; stated District Attorney Clarkson. She continued, &ldquo;Over the last several years, I have become increasingly concerned that the Oregon State Hospital cannot meet the challenge of the moment: appropriately responding to the growing need for intensive, hospital level of care for individuals whose diagnoses require civil commitment, restoration services, or secure levels of treatment for the safety of themselves and the public.&amp;nbsp; We have an obligation to inquire into what is being done with an eye toward what more is needed.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;District Attorney Clarkson is convening this grand jury to inquire into the current operations, capacity challenges, and public safety implications associated with the Oregon State Hospital.&amp;nbsp; The work of the grand jury is expected to take several months and will issue a public report upon completion of their work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Marion County Senior Deputy District Attorney David Wilson, and Deputy District Attorney Evelyn Centeno will oversee the proceedings. &amp;nbsp;Senior DDA Wilson has significant experience with institution-related cases and oversees Oregon State Hospital prosecutions within the Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office. DDA Centeno serves as Marion County&rsquo;s behavioral health prosecutor and has extensive experience working with behavioral health facilities statewide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Consistent with all matters that come before a grand jury, these proceedings are confidential. No further information will be released prior to the grand jury&rsquo;s final report. The Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office anticipates the report will be completed by the end of the year and will be publicly released at that time.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;State of Oregon v. Marcos Guzman-Barajas&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Marion County Circuit Court Case 24CR20660&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Man Sentenced in Marion County for Woodburn Grocery Store Robbery&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; March 11, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;&ndash; &amp;nbsp;Today, The Honorable Marion County Circuit Court Judge Tracy Prall sentenced defendant Marcus Guzman-Barajas, age 27, to 190 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections. Guzman-Barajas pled guilty to two counts of Robbery in the First Degree with a Firearm, and one count of Unlawful Use of a Weapon with a Firearm.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conviction stems from an April 2024 robbery that occurred just after closing at El Torito Market in Woodburn.&amp;nbsp; During the incident, Guzman-Barajas threatened multiple employees and a customer with a handgun while demanding access to the store&rsquo;s money. He pointed the gun at a cashier&rsquo;s head and told her he would shoot if she didn&rsquo;t open the safe. She did not know the safe combination and feared for her life.&amp;nbsp; At one point Guzman-Barajas became upset and threw the safe on the floor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A second store employee was forced to the ground at gun point and made to crawl towards the cash register to empty the tills while the defendant repeatedly stated, &ldquo;I swear I will kill you&rdquo;. The customer was also ordered to kneel while the gun was pointed at him.&amp;nbsp; Additional employees near the back of the store witnessed the incident and, while hiding, were able to call police.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Woodburn Police Department arrived, Guzman-Barajos was found attempting to leave the property.&amp;nbsp; Officers detained him and recovered the weapon in a nearby grassy area. &amp;nbsp;The victims did not sustain any serious physical injury.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This sentence reflects the serious nature of the crime. Multiple victims were genuinely and reasonably in fear for their lives, and law enforcement and the public was seriously threatened due to his actions,&rdquo; said Chief Deputy District Attorney Brendan Murphy &ldquo;We will continue to prioritize the prosecution of this type of serious crime.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was prosecuted by DDA Shannon Sullivan. The Marion County District Attorney&rsquo;s Office wishes to thank the Woodburn Police Department for their swift response and thorough investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Beaverton Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Sexually Exploiting Minors Online and Receiving Child Pornography (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash;A Beaverton, Oregon, man was sentenced to federal prison today for sexually exploiting multiple minors online and receiving sexually explicit images and videos of the minor victims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Misael Flores Ramirez, 35, was sentenced to 262 months in federal prison and 15 years of supervised release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to court documents, it was reported that, from April 2023 through September 2023, Flores Ramirez was in contact with a 12-year-old minor victim. Flores Ramirez sent over 30 sexually explicit images and videos of himself to a minor victim who he met on the social media application Wink. Flores Ramirez requested and received over 30 images of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) from the minor victim and threatened to stop talking if the images were not sent. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A search of Flores Ramirez&rsquo;s phone revealed over 2,000 images of CSAM and contact with other minors. Specifically, beginning in February 2023 through March 2023, Flores Ramirez requested and received sexually explicit images from a 14-year-old minor victim.&amp;nbsp; He then shared the videos and images of the minor victim with multiple Telegram users. Flores Ramirez used WhatsApp and Telegram chatrooms devoted to trading CSAM to receive images and share videos of minor victims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On September 10, 2024, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a five-count indictment charging Flores Ramirez with sexual exploitation of children, transfer of obscene matter to a minor, and distributing, receiving, and possessing child pornography.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On September 18, 2025, Flores Ramirez pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children and receipt of child pornography.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Charlotte Kelley prosecuted the case.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone who has information about the physical or online exploitation of children is encouraged to contact HSI at (866) 347-2423 or submit a tip online at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://report.cybertip.org/" target="_blank"&gt;report.cybertip.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This case was brought in collaboration with Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by the U.S. Attorneys&rsquo; Offices and the DOJ&rsquo;s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, ORE. &lt;/strong&gt;&ndash; The Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC)&amp;nbsp;held the first&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/delc/about-us/pages/otela.aspx"&gt;Oregon Tribal Early Learning Alliance&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(OTELA) meeting with Tribal early childhood education and care leaders to develop a plan to build a stronger future for Tribal&amp;nbsp;youth&amp;nbsp;and families in Oregon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;The collaborative discussion between our Tribes and the state gave inspirational hope the future actions to be taken will best serve our birth to age 8 members, our "littles", as they need,&rdquo; said&amp;nbsp;Julie&amp;nbsp;Siestreem, Hanis Coos, Tribal Council member of the Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To&amp;nbsp;recognize Tribal sovereignty and right to self-determination,&amp;nbsp;the Oregon legislature passed a bill in 2025&amp;nbsp;to create OTELA&amp;nbsp;and the Tribal&amp;nbsp;Early Learning Plan and Fund.&amp;nbsp; Representatives from each of the&amp;nbsp;Nine Federally Recognized Tribes in Oregon&amp;nbsp;are working closely with DELC&rsquo;s Office of Tribal Affairs,&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;guide the development and implementation of the plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;We are grateful to begin this work in true partnership with Oregon&rsquo;s sovereign Tribal Nations,&rdquo; said DELC Director Alyssa Chatterjee. &ldquo;We are excited to listen, learn, and honor the leadership of Tribes as they tell the state what they envision for their children, birth through age eight. Their guidance is essential, and it will shape a stronger, more responsive early learning system for Tribal children and families across Oregon."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The statewide early learning and care plan is for Native American and Alaska Native children, ages birth to eight, who are enrolled in one of the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes within Oregon&rsquo;s borders or participate in Tribal-operated early childhood care or education programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;It is exciting to see the voices of our Tribal people being prioritized in any level of education. Both OTELA and the &lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;Tribal&amp;nbsp;Early Learning Plan and Fund&lt;/span&gt; demonstrate DELC&rsquo;s commitment to meaningful collaboration with Oregon Tribes," said Justine Flynn, School Administrator for the Confederated Tribes of Grande Ronde&rsquo;s Chinuk Wawa language immersion Shawash-iliÊ"i Skul, and one of the Tribe&rsquo;s OTELA representatives. "In addition, facilitation of the OTELA group offers Oregon Tribes the space to engage in big picture planning with regards to education for our tribal people in both the short and long term."&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OHA, DEQ finalize 2026-2027 Oregon beach monitoring list &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Agency shares list of state beaches to be sampled for bacteria&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Oregon Beach Monitoring Program (OBMP) has released its list of coastal recreation areas it will be monitoring for the presence of bacteria during 2026 and 2027.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The OBMP, based at the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division, monitors some of the most frequently visited beaches in the state. The list of monitored beaches includes those where the program has found bacteria present, or beaches for which local partners and the public have requested monitoring due to potential pollution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;To see a video about Oregon&rsquo;s beach monitoring effort, visit &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82GVixgeGsM"&gt;&lt;em&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82GVixgeGsM&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every two years, as part of an adaptive sampling plan, OHA and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) re-evaluate beaches and sampling locations to ensure available resources best protect public health. Based on OBMP&rsquo;s evaluation criteria, the following list contains Oregon beaches that DEQ and OHA will monitor in the 2026 and 2027 seasons, from late May through late September of each year. A copy of the beach evaluation is available upon request by sending an e-mail to: &lt;a href="mailto:Beach.Health@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;Beach.Health@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When laboratory testing of water samples taken at monitored beaches indicates levels of bacteria above recreational guideline values, OHA issues an advisory, urging visitors to avoid contact with water at the beach. OHA advisories encourage people to avoid wading in nearby creeks, pools of water on the beach, or in discolored water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beach advisories are only issued for beaches that are actively being monitored within the May-September sampling window. Other beaches will be investigated for inclusion in the upcoming beach monitoring seasons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OHA and DEQ work together to evaluate beaches for monitoring based on several criteria. These criteria are: pollution hazards present, previous beach monitoring data that identify water quality concerns, type and amount of beach use, and public input.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unsafe levels of fecal bacteria in beach water can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children, elderly and those with a compromised immune system should use extra caution as they are more vulnerable to illness from waterborne bacteria.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unsafe levels of fecal bacteria in ocean waters can come from both shore and inland sources including stormwater runoff, sewer overflows, failing septic systems, and animal waste from livestock, pets and wildlife.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 6, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media contact: &lt;/strong&gt;Erica Heartquist, &lt;a href="mailto:PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measles exposure locations confirmed at Solar Nails, Pho Keizer in Keizer &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; Two new measles exposure locations have been identified, and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Marion County public health officials are urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People might have been exposed if they were at the following locations at these dates and time:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solar Nails, 4910 River Road N., Keizer, between 12 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. Monday, March 30.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pho Keizer, 3400 River Road N., Keizer, between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday, March 30.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People who were at this locations during these dates and time periods should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about measles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles can be dangerous, especially among children younger than 5, adults older than 20, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems. In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases has been fatal. The measles vaccine is highly effective at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus. The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is very low.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do if you suspect measles in your household&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have a measles-like rash, or&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND have any other symptom of measles (such as fever, cough or red eyes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever possible, individuals planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, learn how to prevent, recognize and report child abuse in Oregon]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;(Salem) &ndash; Governor Tina Kotek has proclaimed April to be Child Abuse Prevention Month in Oregon, and the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) asks everyone in Oregon&amp;nbsp;to learn how they can help prevent, recognize and report child abuse in their communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As Governor Kotek&rsquo;s proclamation states, &ldquo;In order to solve the public health issue of abuse and neglect we must work together to change hearts and mindsets through storytelling and sharing, elevating lived experience, centering the needs of families, breaking down bias and barriers, and inspiring action.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;When families are struggling to meet their basic needs and are in crisis, this can increase the risk of child abuse,&rdquo; said Rolanda Garcia, interim director of the ODHS Child Welfare Division. &ldquo;When we work together to help families access the supports and resources they need to thrive, we prevent child abuse.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One way to help is to learn about the supports and programs available to help families who are in crisis. Sharing information about local food banks, how to enroll in food and cash benefits, and sharing information about supports and services that a family might need helps to strengthen families and protect children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recognizing and reporting child abuse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People are also encouraged to learn the warning signs of child abuse and to confidentially report any child safety concerns they have to the Oregon Child Abuse Hotline by calling 1-855-503-SAFE (7233). The Oregon Child Abuse Hotline receives calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are three warning signs of child abuse:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Physical signs present on the child.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Behavioral signs or statements made by the child.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Behavioral signs or statements made by the parent or caregiver.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To help everyone in Oregon know how to recognize these warning signs and know what to do if they see them, there is an interactive training &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/report-abuse/pages/mandatory-reporting.aspx?utm_source=ODHS&amp;amp;utm_medium=egov_redirect&amp;amp;utm_campaign=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oregon.gov%2Fdhs%2Fabuse%2Fpages%2Fmandatory_report.aspx"&gt;online&lt;/a&gt; that is free for the public to take. The training also helps people identify types of child abuse, learn how to report, and recognize when a family needs material or economic assistance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oregon&rsquo;s Sanctuary Promise&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All information reported to the Oregon Child Abuse Hotline is confidential. ODHS is committed to upholding Oregon&rsquo;s Sanctuary Promise law, we do not assist with immigration enforcement, and we do not share information for that purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources and supports for families in Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/default.aspx"&gt;Get help with food in Oregon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/benefits/pages/default.aspx"&gt;Apply for medical, food, cash and child care benefits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.211info.org/"&gt;211info.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(also by dialing 211) offers connection to local and regional resources for food banks, housing assistance, and mental health services.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.linesforlife.org/"&gt;Lines for Life&lt;/a&gt;, a nonprofit dedicated to substance abuse and suicide prevention: call or text 988.&lt;/li&gt;

Media contact:&lt;/strong&gt; Marsha Sills, &lt;a href="mailto:marsha.sills@oha.oregon.com"&gt;marsha.sills@oha.oregon.com&lt;/a&gt;, 971-240-3344&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oregon State Hospital names permanent chief medical officer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore. &ndash; Amit Bhavan, M.D., who has led Oregon State Hospital&rsquo;s efforts to improve accountability and oversight as its interim chief medical officer (CMO), has been named as permanent CMO after a competitive search and selection process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bhavan has served&amp;nbsp;as the hospital&rsquo;s interim CMO since Aug. 1, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Dr. Amit Bhavan" src="https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/ORHA/2026/04/13457102/6817161/dr-amitbhavan_crop.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Dr. Bhavan&rsquo;s leadership was essential to OSH maintaining its compliance with Joint Commission and CMS,&rdquo; said James A. Diegel, OSH Interim Superintendent. &ldquo;His continued advocacy for clinical excellence on behalf of our patients ensures the hospital sustains its ongoing efforts to consistently provide every patient we serve with high-quality psychiatric care in a safe and therapeutic environment.&rdquo; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bhavan has a deep commitment to the people of OSH &ndash; its patients and caregivers. He began working at the hospital in October 2020 as a unit psychiatrist and was named a supervising psychiatrist in May 2023. His experience working with OSH unit caregivers and patients ground him in his role as a hospital leader.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Dr. Bhavan has demonstrated through his service as interim chief medical officer the kind of steady, mission-driven leadership that OSH needs,&rdquo; said Oregon Health Authority Director Sejal Hathi, M.D., MBA. &ldquo;He is the right person to lead the hospital&rsquo;s ongoing clinical improvement efforts and will continue to play a vital role in strengthening OSH into a consistently safe, accountable, and reliable institution.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining OSH, Bhavan worked at Oregon Health &amp;amp; Science University as an assistant professor in psychiatry, and at Unity Center for Behavioral Health (Portland) as a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatrist. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree at University of Medicine &amp;amp; Health Sciences &ndash; Basseterre, St. Kitts &amp;amp; Nevis, and completed a residency in adult psychiatry and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry, both at Medical College of Wisconsin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The media briefing is 1 p.m. today (Friday, April 3).

				<headline><![CDATA[Jessie M. Honeyman State Park monument damaged by vandalism (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Florence, Oregon&mdash;A bronze monument dedicated in honor of state park namesake Jessie Honeyman was damaged last month. The monument located near the Cleawox Day-use parking area was vandalized in an apparent attempted theft between Monday evening, March 2 and Tuesday morning March 3. The monument&rsquo;s structure appeared to be knocked over and cut in two places, resulting in significant damage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The bronze &ldquo;Eye of the Needle&rdquo; monument was dedicated to honor Jessie M. Honeyman in 1986, recognizing her tireless advocacy for Oregon&rsquo;s natural resources and scenery along the state&rsquo;s highways. The statue sculpted by Gordon Newell is a registered art piece with the Smithsonian.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Park staff have removed the monument for public safety and to prevent further harm as they evaluate the extent of the damage and develop a plan for repairs. At this time, there is no established timeline for the monument&rsquo;s repair or reinstallation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The department asks that anyone with information regarding this incident contact the Oregon State Police, referencing case number SP26072324. Community assistance is appreciated to help protect Oregon's special places.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Department of Forestry invites public comment on state forest management activities]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Salem, Ore. &mdash; The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) is inviting public comment on planned projects, timber sales, and other management activities in state-owned forests.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Starting April 3 through 5 p.m. May 18, Oregonians can weigh in on draft Annual Operations Plans for state forests on the Astoria, Forest Grove, Klamath Falls, North Cascade, Tillamook, West Oregon, and Western Lane Districts. These plans lay out on-the-ground activities expected to take place in the coming fiscal year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;State forests by law must provide social, economic, and environmental benefits to Oregonians. To achieve the legal mandate, these lands are managed to create healthy productive forests, high-quality habitat for native fish and wildlife, clean water, benefits and revenues to rural communities and timber related economies, as well as recreation and educational opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Overall goals and strategies for forest resources are established in long-range Forest Management Plans, which are refined into more specific objectives in Implementation Plans. Annual Operations Plans describe discrete activities to achieve the objectives laid out in Implementation Plans. ODF is seeking input on the draft Annual Operations Plans, which can be viewed on the State Forests&rsquo; &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odf/working/pages/aops.aspx"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Annual Operations Plans website.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Common topics in the Annual Operations Plans include:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Timber harvest operations&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Recreation improvement and maintenance projects&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Forest road construction, maintenance, and improvements&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Reforestation/replanting and young stand management activities&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Habitat improvement for native species&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Invasive species management&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The most useful input speaks to these specific activities and whether they are consistent with longer-range plans, offer suggestions to improve efficiency or effectiveness, correct errors, provide additional information, and are solution oriented. Activities that affect fish and wildlife habitat are reviewed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, while operations that may affect threatened and endangered fish and wildlife habitat are shared with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Activities that may affect sensitive plants are reviewed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODF offers several avenues to comment on Annual Operations Plans:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Online comments can be submitted through&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odf/recreation/pages/comment.aspx"&gt;ODF&rsquo;s comments page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Comments can be emailed to:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:odf.sfcomments@oregon.gov"&gt;odf.sfcomments@oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Comments can also be mailed to ODF Public Affairs, 2600 State St., Salem, OR 97310.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agencies, partners, residents celebrate opening of Stratus Village affordable housing community in Yamhill County&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore. &ndash; Oregon Health Authority (OHA) joined Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), community partners, local leaders and residents earlier this week to celebrate the opening of Stratus Village, a new affordable 175-unit housing development in Yamhill County that includes a number of units for people experiencing persistent mental illness.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;Oregon continues to invest in housing as a critical component of behavioral health,&rdquo; said OHA Behavioral Health Director Ebony Clarke. &ldquo;Stratus Village represents the kind of partnership and forward-thinking approach we need&mdash;one that recognizes stable housing as foundational to recovery, dignity and long-term well-being for people living with serious mental health conditions.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Located at 2450 SE Stratus Ave in McMinnville, Stratus Village brings 10 units of Permanent Supportive Housing for people with Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). These housing units were funded in part through House Bill 5024 aimed at developing more housing options for those experiencing homelessness. The housing demonstrates Oregon&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to addressing the housing and behavioral health needs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Stratus Village is a demonstration of our commitment to meeting the housing needs of all Oregonians,&rdquo; said OHCS Executive Director Andrea Bell.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;Every person deserves an affordable and dignified life. Increasing service-enriched housing is one of the ways we are delivering housing growth that includes all people and all communities.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We&rsquo;re excited to celebrate the completion of Stratus Village and bring 175 much needed, quality, affordable housing units to individuals and families in our community earning 30&ndash;60% of the area median income,&rdquo; said Vickie Ybarguen, Executive Director of the Housing Authority of Yamhill County. &ldquo;This development provides decent, safe and affordable housing, and creating opportunities that help community members position themselves for success.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project received $2.4 million from the Oregon Health Authority through House Bill 5024 and more than $44 million from Oregon Housing and Community Services through various programs including Local Innovation and Fast Track, Agriculture Workforce Housing Tax Credit Program, and 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stratus Village is part of a statewide effort to increase housing stability, reduce homelessness and improve health outcomes for all people living in Oregon. By integrating supportive services with affordable housing, developments like Stratus Village strengthen communities and improve quality of life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Oregon Housing and Community Services&lt;/strong&gt; (OHCS)&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OHCS is Oregon's housing finance agency. The state agency provides financial and program support to create and preserve opportunities for quality, affordable housing for Oregonians of low and moderate income. OHCS administers programs that provide housing stabilization. OHCS delivers these programs primarily through grants, contracts, and loan agreements with local partners and community-based providers.

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Oregon Health Authority&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;(OHA)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Health Authority is at the forefront of lowering and containing costs, improving quality and increasing access to health care in order to improve the lifelong health of Oregonians. OHA is overseen by the nine-member citizen Oregon Health Policy Board (&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/OHPB/Pages/index.aspx"&gt;http://www.oregon.gov/oha/OHPB...&lt;/a&gt;) which is working toward comprehensive health and health care reform in the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OHA includes most of the state's health care programs, including Public Health, Health Policy and Analytics, Health Systems Division, and Oregon State Hospital. Incorporating the state's health care programs within one agency gives the state greater purchasing and marketing power to begin tackling the issues of cost, quality, and access to care.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media contact: &lt;/strong&gt;Erica Heartquist, &lt;a href="mailto:PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measles exposure location confirmed at Safeway in Portland&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; A new measles exposure location has been identified, and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Multnomah County public health officials are urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at these dates and times:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safeway, 2800 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland:&lt;/strong&gt;

     &lt;ul&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, March 26.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Between 2 p.m. and midnight Friday, March 27.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Between 2:20 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Between 2 p.m. and midnight Sunday, March 29.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;/ul&gt;
     &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People who were at this location during these dates and time periods should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Families without a primary care provider can establish care at any of Multnomah County's seven primary care&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://healthcenter.multco.us/clinics-and-providers/locations"&gt;clinics&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or nine student health centers (based at high schools but open to anyone ages 5-18) by calling 503-988-5558 to make a new patient appointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about measles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles can be dangerous, especially among children younger than 5, adults older than 20, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems. In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases has been fatal. The measles vaccine is highly effective at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus. The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is very low.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do if you suspect measles in your household&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;1.Have a measles-like rash, or&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;2.Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND have any other symptom of measles (such as fever, cough or red eyes).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever possible, individuals planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[National cultural heritage leader Monica Rhodes to keynote upcoming conference (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Oregon &ndash; Oregon Heritage is pleased to announce that internationally recognized cultural heritage leader Monica Rhodes will deliver a keynote address on April 29&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; at the upcoming Oregon Heritage Conference, inviting attendees to explore how preservation must evolve to meet the challenges of the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rhodes, Founder of Rhodes Heritage Group, is widely known for advancing new approaches to cultural preservation at the intersection of people, place, and capital. Her work has influenced national policy, expanded access to preservation practice, and engaged millions in reimagining how history shapes the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her keynote, &ldquo;The Next Assignment: Why the Future Will Ask More of Us,&rdquo; will challenge attendees to reconsider traditional approaches to preservation in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, climate instability, and growing public demand for complete storytelling. &ldquo;We are entering unfamiliar futurescapes where the past is unstable, contested, and uncertain,&rdquo; Rhodes notes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A Rome Prize Fellow and Harvard Loeb Fellow, Rhodes has advised the White House on cultural heritage policy and serves on the board of the International Council on Monuments and Sites. Her work has been featured in national media outlets including The Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, This Old House, and Architectural Digest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from Rhodes and engage with forward-looking ideas that connect historic preservation to civic innovation, community voice, and long-term resilience. Registration for the conference is now open. Registration is available to see Monica Rhodes only or to attend other conference sessions as well. To learn more and register to attend, visit &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/heritageconference.aspx"&gt;Oregon Heritage Conference 2026&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media contact&lt;/strong&gt;: Jonathan Modie, &lt;a href="mailto:PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OHA urges against giving baby poultry as Easter gifts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; As Easter approaches and families plan holiday gatherings, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is cautioning against buying chicks, ducklings or other baby poultry as gifts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Close contact with the cute and cuddly critters can make children ill from &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt;, which can sometimes be carried by chicks and the other Easter-themed animals. &ldquo;Giving chicks and ducklings as gifts should be avoided,&rdquo; said Emilio DeBess, DVM, public health veterinarian in the Acute and Communicable Disease Prevention Section at OHA&rsquo;s Public Health Division.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Young children characteristically will hug and even sometimes kiss the animals and often may not wash their hands afterward,&rdquo; DeBess added. &ldquo;Handling live poultry can lead to &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; infection&lt;em&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;which can be especially virulent in children younger than 5 because their immune systems are not fully developed.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Salmonella &lt;/em&gt;infections cause salmonellosis, which can result in diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever lasting three to seven days. Anyone with compromised immune systems, the very young and older adults could become very ill and even die of the infection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2020, five outbreaks of illnesses caused by &lt;em&gt;Salmonella&lt;/em&gt; bacteria from baby chicks have occurred in Oregon, affecting at least 55 cases of salmonellosis. About half of the cases were children younger than 18.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OHA offers the following tips:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Children younger than 5, older adults, or people with weak immune systems should not handle or touch chicks, ducklings or other live poultry, or rabbits.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Make a general rule that after kids touch any animal, they immediately wash their hands with soap and water.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;If kids handle chicks, discourage them from nuzzling or kissing them.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Don&rsquo;t eat or drink in an area where animals roam.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measles exposure locations confirmed at Lark Caf&eacute; in West Linn and Pho.Com restaurant in Gresham&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; Two new measles exposure locations have been identified, and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Clackamas and Multnomah County public health officials are urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at this date and time:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lark Caf&eacute;, 1980 Willamette Falls Drive #120, West Linn, between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Friday, March 27.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pho.Com, 316 N. Main Ave., Gresham, between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People who were at these locations during these dates and time periods should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Families without a primary care provider can establish care at any of Multnomah County's seven primary care&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://healthcenter.multco.us/clinics-and-providers/locations"&gt;clinics&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or nine student health centers (based at high schools but open to anyone ages 5-18) by calling 503-988-5558 to make a new patient appointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about measles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles can be dangerous, especially among children younger than 5, adults older than 20, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems. In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases has been fatal. The measles vaccine is highly effective at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus. The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is very low.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do if you suspect measles in your household&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have a measles-like rash, or&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND have any other symptom of measles (such as fever, cough or red eyes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever possible, individuals planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Celebrations planned statewide in April for Oregon Arbor Month (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore. &ndash; Gov. Tina Kotek has proclaimed April 2026 to be Oregon Arbor Month statewide. This year&rsquo;s proclamation recognizes the vital role trees play in protecting communities from climate change impacts, particularly extreme heat and rain events.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Oregon&rsquo;s Arbor Month is a chance for all of us to pause and appreciate the trees that cool our neighborhoods, protect our health, provide jobs and create clean water and air,&rdquo; Oregon&rsquo;s new State Forester Kacey KC said. &ldquo;This month offers great opportunities for Oregonians to connect with trees, from community tree planting events to facilitated educational walks and so much more.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A growing body of research, some of it done by Vivek Shandas of Portland State University in Portland, has shown that shade trees can greatly reduce heat. Numerous deaths are traced back to heat events each year. Neighborhoods with a greater percentage of their area covered by trees can be several degrees cooler than those with fewer large trees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland-based researcher Geoffrey Donovan&rsquo;s research has shown that planting more trees in low-canopy neighborhoods can reduce deaths from cardiovascular disease. Losing canopy can increase human deaths, with the greatest change felt in higher-income neighborhoods when trees that had been protecting residents from air pollution are lost to pests, diseases, or development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year&rsquo;s proclamation states that, &ldquo;Urban development and preservation of large, healthy shade trees demands a careful balance, because the resilience of our communities, the health and well-being of our residents, and the livability of our cities hinge upon the presence and preservation of such trees. Well-cared-for urban shade trees are literally lifesavers.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Communities across the state will be adding to urban canopies with tree plantings throughout the month, including in La Grande, Beaverton, Central Point, at Central Oregon Community College in Bend, and elsewhere. There will also be tree art contests, tree walks, a tree book give-away by the State Library, public readings of tree books at the Bandon Library on April 23, and on April 25 the dedication in northeast Portland of the state&rsquo;s newest arboretum, the &lt;a href="http://www.ainsworthlineararboretum.org/"&gt;Ainsworth Linear Arboretum.&lt;/a&gt; It was officially recognized earlier this year by ArbNet as Oregon&rsquo;s seventh Level 1 Arboretum. ArbNet is the global network of arboreta administered by the Morton Arboretum in Illinois. Find a list of all Oregon recognized arboreta &lt;a href="https://arbnet.org/morton-register/?accreditation=accredited"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wildfire protection partners provide new public tool to prevent escaped debris burns&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Debris burning site aims to reduce #1 cause of wildfires&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore.&mdash;Outdoor debris burning, also known as backyard debris burning, is the leading cause of human-caused wildland fires in Oregon. On average, the Oregon Department of Forestry responds to about 225 fires each year that result from escaped debris burns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All Oregonians are encouraged to use the new statewide Before You Burn website or mobile application prior to lighting any debris, whether it be a small pile or in a burn barrel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before You Burn provides Oregonians simple, clear guidance on burning regulations and prevention measures for their specific location. The public can sign up for free by either downloading the Before You Burn app (available in both the Apple and Android stores) or visiting the &lt;a href="file:///C:/Users/dgasperini/Desktop/beforeyouburn.net"&gt;beforeyouburn.net&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once on the site, or application, residents are prompted to enter their address. They will be immediately informed on whether burning is allowed for their location. If burning is allowed, they will receive instructions or options on local regulations that must be followed, like registering a burn or filing for a permit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We&rsquo;re hoping that a central resource for all Oregonians will take the guess work out of who regulates burns, and what the process might be for an allowed burn, for residents in any location around the state,&rdquo; said Levi Hopkins, ODF Protection Division Deputy Chief of Policy and Planning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODF and its fire protection and air quality partners have spent the last two years developing this multi-jurisdiction website and mobile application that aims to reduce the number of these preventable wildfires.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before You Burn is only intended for backyard debris burning. It is not for campfires, agricultural burns, the burning of forest slash from harvest operations, or other types of burning. Residents should contact their local fire or air quality agency for regulations on these types of burning activities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ahead of this year&rsquo;s fire season, ODF would like to remind the public that engaging in prohibited burning may make you liable for wildfire suppression costs. Suppression costs can reach millions of dollars for a single wildfire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Checking this new resource is a quick, simple step to take before causing Oregon&rsquo;s next wildfire,&rdquo; said Hopkins.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODF serves as the lead agency for Before You Burn, working in partnership with&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Western Fire Chiefs Association, structural fire departments across the state, Keep Oregon Green Association and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &mdash;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Governor Tina Kotek has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oem/Memos%20and%20Executive%20Orders/2026_Oregon-Public-Safety-Telecommunicators-Week.pdf" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(59, 116, 181);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;proclaimed April 12&ndash;18, 2026, as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, recognizing the critical contributions of the state&rsquo;s public safety telecommunicators and 9-1-1 professionals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Each year, hundreds of skilled telecommunicators across Oregon answer nearly 2 million emergency calls, providing lifeâ'saving assistance to residents and visitors 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. These professionals are often the first point of contact in times of crisis, serving as the vital link between the public and emergency responders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&ldquo;Oregon&rsquo;s telecommunicators play an essential role in keeping our communities safe,&rdquo; said&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) Director Erin McMahon&lt;/strong&gt;. &ldquo;They are the steady, reliable voices during some of the most challenging moments in people&rsquo;s lives. Their ability to provide calm, accurate direction and coordinate an emergency response in real time is nothing short of remarkable. This week is an opportunity to recognize their professionalism and commitment and the lifeâ'saving impact of their work.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Telecommunicators support law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, and many others across the public safety spectrum. They also play a key role in operations across federal, state, local, and Tribal government agencies, including emergency management, highway safety, and search and rescue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&ldquo;With Oregon progressing toward&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://or-ng911-geo.hub.arcgis.com/" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(59, 116, 181);"&gt;Next Generation 9â'1â'1&lt;/a&gt;, we are entering a new era of innovation in emergency communications,&rdquo; said&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;OEM 9â'1â'1 Program Manager Frank Kuchta&lt;/strong&gt;. &ldquo;But regardless of how technology evolves, the heart of 9â'1â'1 will always be the dedicated professionals who answer the call. Their skills, training and compassion save lives every day, and this proclamation honors their invaluable service.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is observed annually by public safety associations across the United States and Canada to recognize the dedication and professionalism of telecommunicators and their crucial role in safeguarding life and property.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;April 1, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media contact: &lt;/strong&gt;Erica Heartquist, &lt;a href="mailto:PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measles exposure location confirmed at Providence Portland Medical Center emergency department waiting room&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; A new measles exposure location has been identified, and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Multnomah County public health officials are urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at this date and time:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Providence Portland Medical Center, emergency department waiting room, 4805 NE Glisan St., Portland, between 7:57 p.m. and 10:08 p.m. Monday, March 30.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People who were at this location during these dates and time period should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Families without a primary care provider can establish care at any of Multnomah County's seven primary care &lt;a href="https://healthcenter.multco.us/clinics-and-providers/locations"&gt;clinics&lt;/a&gt; or nine student health centers (based at high schools but open to anyone ages 5-18) by calling 503-988-5558 to make a new patient appointment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about measles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles can be dangerous, especially among children younger than 5, adults older than 20, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems. In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases has been fatal. The measles vaccine is highly effective at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus. The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is very low.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do if you suspect measles in your household&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have a measles-like rash, or&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND have any other symptom of measles (such as fever, cough or red eyes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever possible, individuals planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

				<orgname orgid="6532" tier="1" zipcode="97301"><![CDATA[Oregon Public Utility Commission]]></orgname>
				<headline><![CDATA[Combined decisions result in a rate increase for PacifiCorp customers effective April 1]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Updated 4/1/2026: &lt;/strong&gt;This release updates the &lt;strong&gt;Residential Customer Impact&lt;/strong&gt; section below. All other information remains unchanged.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, Ore. &ndash; &lt;/strong&gt;The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) has approved rate adjustments for PacifiCorp residential customers that take effect April 1, 2026. The changes reflect the outcome of PacifiCorp&rsquo;s annual power cost adjustment (true-up for 2024), which was resolved through an agreement among PUC staff, PacifiCorp, and consumer advocates. They also incorporate several additional filings that either increase or decrease customer rates, with the net effect being an overall increase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Residential Customer Impact&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The combined effect of the power cost adjustment and other routine filings is expected to increase the typical residential customer&rsquo;s monthly bill by about $4.29, or 2.9%. Actual impacts will vary based on individual energy usage. Customers in Albany, Oregon, can expect an average increase of about $5.64, or 4.1% per month. This additional increase reflects the cost of relocating power lines underground as part of a City of Albany improvement project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Residential rate changes were delayed until April 1 under House Bill (HB) 3179, the FAIR Act, which prevents residential rate increases during the winter heating season (Nov. 1-March 31) to help reduce customer cost impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Reasons for the Adjustment&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The overall change reflects updated actual costs for fuel, purchased power, wholesale market sales, and other power cost expenses for 2024 compared with the forecasted costs for that year. Several routine accounting and tax-related updates also contributed to the final outcome, with some filings resulting in a small rate decrease for customers and others resulting in modest increases. In addition, the adjustment incorporates the cost of two wind farms, which serve to displace more expensive power, as well as updated funding levels to support the Energy Trust of Oregon&rsquo;s energy-efficiency programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Our role is to ensure utility rates reflect the real costs of delivering power safely and reliably,&rdquo; said Commission Chair Letha Tawney. &ldquo;As fuel prices, wholesale market conditions, and renewable energy costs shift, we must update rates so they accurately reflect the cost of efficiently maintaining the service customers depend on every day. These adjustments also ensure continued investment in clean energy and energy-efficiency programs that benefit Oregon families.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk185233152"&gt;Manage Energy Use and Bills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Explore rebates and energy-saving tips through the &lt;a href="https://www.energytrust.org/"&gt;Energy Trust of Oregon.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Two weeks left before Tax Day: Don&rsquo;t wait until the last minute to file]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h2 style="font-style:italic"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Salem, OR&mdash; Gone are the days when US Post Offices stayed open late on Tax Day. No more lines of cars in the Post Office driveway after dark. The late local news no longer features live interviews with taxpayers explaining why they waited until the last minute to file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk225404727"&gt;Don&rsquo;t be fooled, however. Taxpayers still wait until the last minute and it&rsquo;s almost here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;As much as we wish it wasn&rsquo;t, it&rsquo;s normal for nearly half of returns to come in the last two weeks,&rdquo; said Megan Denison, Personal Tax and Compliance administrator for the Oregon Department of Revenue. &ldquo;We encourage taxpayers to file early and a lot do, but there are always hundreds of thousands of returns filed in the final weeks, days, and, yes, hours before the deadline.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With two weeks to go before the April 15 deadline, nearly 1 million taxpayers have yet to file their tax year 2025 Oregon personal income tax. The Oregon Department of Revenue is sharing tips to help those taxpayers beat the clock.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;File electronically&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The vast majority of filers&mdash;including those who file early, those who file late, and those who file somewhere in the middle&mdash;file their returns electronically. &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/electronic-filing.aspx"&gt;E-filing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the fastest way for taxpayers to get their tax refund.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last year more than 94 percent of Oregon personal income tax returns were filed electronically. That&rsquo;s up from 86 percent just 10 years ago and the percentage keeps inching up every year. The remaining 5 percent, however, still file paper returns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make sure to file your paper return on time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers who choose to file a paper return should mail it early. The federal and state tax deadline is April 15, but due to &lt;a href="https://about.usps.com/newsroom/statements/010226-postmarking-myths-and-facts.htm"&gt;changes&lt;/a&gt; at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), returns mailed after April 9 may not receive a postmark of April 15 or before.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers who miss the suggested mail deadline, can take their return to a USPS office during regular business hours no later than April 15, 2026 and make an in-person request to have their return manually postmarked at the counter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While taxpayers will find Post Offices closed after regular business hours on Tax Day, the Department of Revenue still offers a last-minute option&mdash;at least for Oregon returns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Department of Revenue staff will be on hand in the lobby of the Revenue headquarters building in Salem to accept and date stamp returns for taxpayers 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, April 13, through Tax Day, Wednesday, April 15. Taxpayers can also hand deliver their returns to &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/pages/map.aspx"&gt;DOR Regional offices&lt;/a&gt; in Bend, Eugene, Gresham, Medford, and Portland during regular business hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After hours, paper Oregon personal income tax returns can be deposited in drop boxes available on both the east and west sides of the Salem office; on the west side of the Portland State Office Building; or outside the DOR offices in Eugene, Medford, and Bend. A drop box inside DOR&rsquo;s Gresham office is available during business hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The department doesn&rsquo;t recommend using the state drop boxes for federal returns. Paper federal returns should be sent to the IRS. Federal returns dropped in the DOR drop boxes are date stamped and forwarded to the IRS, but the Department of Revenue can&rsquo;t guarantee that the IRS will accept them as having been filed on time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other things taxpayers should know&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon surplus revenue &lt;a href="https://apps.oregon.gov/oregon-newsroom/OR/DOR/Posts/Post/Fact-Sheet-Oregons-Surplus-Revenue-Kicker-Credit"&gt;kicker is a refundable credit&lt;/a&gt; that will either increase a taxpayer's Oregon state income tax refund or decrease the amount of state taxes they owe. It is not sent to taxpayers separately as a check. Only taxpayers who filed a tax year 2024 return and also file a tax year 2025 return can receive a kicker.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers can use Free Fillable Forms to file their federal return and then use &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/direct_file_OR.aspx"&gt;Direct File Oregon&lt;/a&gt; to file their Oregon personal income tax return directly with the state through Revenue Online. &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/get-free-tax-help.aspx"&gt;Other free electronic filing options&lt;/a&gt; are available for taxpayers that meet income requirements. Using links from the department&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/get-free-tax-help.aspx"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; ensures that both taxpayers&rsquo; federal and state return will be filed for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From IRS-sponsored Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites to Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) or AARP Foundation TaxAide locations, Oregon taxpayers needing free assistance can find free tax assistance sites near them on the Department of Revenue Department&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=11gNt7Dt2rIIVuXsQCLRFN9rakNYPvE0&amp;amp;femb=1&amp;amp;ll=44.10920669315453%2C-121.5406582&amp;amp;z=7"&gt;interactive map&lt;/a&gt; or through the United Way&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://myfreetaxes.com/"&gt;MyFreeTaxes program&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-30-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[ODF&rsquo;s Tillamook Forest Center celebrates 20th anniversary (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Tillamook State Forest, Ore.&mdash;April 1 marks the 20th anniversary of the Oregon Department of Forestry&rsquo;s (ODF) Tillamook Forest Center (TFC). The TFC is the region&rsquo;s largest forest-based learning center and outdoor classroom facility, located&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;the heart of the Tillamook State Forest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The purpose of the TFC is to help build a deeper connection with Oregon&rsquo;s forests through experience and exploration,&rdquo; said Denise Berkshire, Director of the TFC.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through innovative programs and hands-on exhibits in the 13,500 square-foot center, visitors can gain a greater understanding about what a forest is, how it works, and forest history. The center showcases the historic Tillamook Burn, the major event that shaped today&rsquo;s forest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The facility exists because of a promise made to tell the story of a forest destroyed by fire and painstakingly rehabilitated through the hard work and resolve of thousands of Oregonians over decades of time,&rdquo; said Berkshire. &ldquo;These stories reflect our past, highlight our path to today, and inspire hope for a healthy forest future for us all.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To mark the anniversary and to kickoff Arbor Month the TFC is hosting a Birthday Bash, April 4, complete with party games like &ldquo;pin the cable on the steam donkey,&rdquo; a fish release of steelhead fry raised at the center, and of course a birthday cake that is tree-themed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While attending the Birthday Bash visitors can also view a new special exhibit that opens April 1, &lt;em&gt;Reflecting on Resilience&lt;/em&gt;. The exhibit details the origins, construction, and history of the Tillamook Forest Center as well as reflecting on the past 75 years of history, rehabilitation, and stewardship work of the South Fork Forest Camp. The camp, just down the highway from the TFC, has been jointly operated by ODF and the Department of Corrections since 1951.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;South Fork is a significant part of the many stories of the wonder and resilience of this forest,&rdquo; said Berkshire. &ldquo;Their decades of stewardship have been a driving force behind the restoration and recovery of the Tillamook State Forest. The adults in custody from the camp have been, and continue to, plant trees, fight wildfires, build trails and have been essential in supporting the center. It&rsquo;s an honor to celebrate our anniversaries together.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The exhibit gives visitors behind-the-scenes looks at both locations and will feature photos and other materials never before publicly displayed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The visitor center building that houses the exhibits is unique in many ways.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;From the beginning, the TFC was meant to be a living example of sustainable building design, construction, and operating practices with minimal environmental impact on its surroundings,&rdquo; said Berkshire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This consideration for creating a &ldquo;green&rdquo; building was inspired by the sustainable forest management surrounding the Tillamook Forest Center.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The center&amp;nbsp;was designed for responsible water management too.&amp;nbsp;The 65,000-gallon forest wetland pond near the building entry performs several key tasks: harvesting and storing rainwater for use in the fire sprinkler system and providing non-potable water for other building systems like the toilets. In addition, the pond serves as a reservoir for structural and wildland firefighters who may need water to fight fires in the surrounding region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;award-winning&amp;nbsp;building is 30 percent more energy efficient than code, with the&amp;nbsp;goal of using "fossil fuel free" energy throughout. It is one of the only facilities of its size and type in North America heated by wood pellets. Pellets are made from material that was once wasted in the wood production process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the wood and wood products used on the site are from sustainably managed forests. This includes lumber harvested on site or elsewhere in the Tillamook State Forest, and the generous donations from many private forest landowners across Oregon. A special emphasis was placed on using natural or recycled materials throughout the project, including rock that was crushed on site and used for the roadbed and trees harvested on the site used for benches and tables. All the building framing material (2x4s through 2x12s) was grown, harvested and milled less than 30 miles from the center.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;After 20-years this building still truly reflects the forest it was built in,&rdquo; said Berkshire.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More important than the building, are the group of staff members and volunteers who run the center.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We all have a love of the forest,&rdquo; said Berkshire. &ldquo;We are excited to share our knowledge, but more importantly provide a connection to the forests through our exhibits, classes, tours, trails, field trips, special events and more. This is a special group of folks who want to help you start or deepen your connection to the forest.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Better yet, come out and visit the TFC, they are open Wednesday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in the spring.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p style="margin-left: -0.9pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:20px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oregon&rsquo;s Unemployment Rate Was 5.2% in January&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left: -0.9pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon&rsquo;s unemployment rate was 5.2% in January and 5.3%, as revised, in December. The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.3% in January and 4.4% in December.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In January, Oregon&rsquo;s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment rose by 2,000 jobs, following a gain of 100 jobs, as revised, in December. January&rsquo;s gains were largest in&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;leisure and hospitality&lt;/strong&gt; (+1,800 jobs); &lt;strong&gt;health care and social assistance&lt;/strong&gt; (+1,500); and &lt;strong&gt;construction&lt;/strong&gt; (+1,000). Losses were largest in &lt;strong&gt;manufacturing&lt;/strong&gt; (-1,500 jobs) and &lt;strong&gt;professional and business services&lt;/strong&gt; (-1,300).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Leisure and hospitality performed better than the normal seasonal pattern in January and employed 209,800, which was 1,800 jobs, or 0.9%, above its January 2025 total. Despite these recent gains, it employed only slightly more workers than during most of the past few years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Health care and social assistance rose by 4,100 jobs during the three months ending in January. During the 12 months ending in January, it added 9,800 jobs, or 3.2%, which was by far the fastest growth rate of Oregon&rsquo;s major industries during that time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Construction&rsquo;s 1,000-job gain in January was a partial rebound from its 2,400-job loss the prior month. Over the past two years, construction generally declined from a high of about 118,000 jobs throughout much of 2023, to its January 2026 level of 111,600 jobs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Manufacturing cut 1,500 jobs in January, following a gain of 1,300 in December. Since August, manufacturing has fluctuated around 178,000 jobs. Prior to this period of relative stability, manufacturing shrank rapidly from a recent high of 195,000 jobs in November 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 1,300-job decline in professional and business services in January left the industry 7,600 jobs, or 2.9%, below its year-ago total, and 17,000 jobs below its peak of 268,100 jobs in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Final state Recreational Trails Plan approved]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Oregon&mdash; At their February meeting, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission approved the final &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PRP/Documents/02242026_ORRecTrailsPlan_FINAL.pdf"&gt;2026 Oregon Recreational Trails Plan&lt;/a&gt;, which outlines trends and issues, creates priorities for grant funding and recommends actions to improve trails on public land in Oregon over the next 10 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To support implementation of the Trails Plan, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department also developed a new technical resources website for recreation and trail planning: &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/BWT/Pages/Technical-Resources-for-Recreation-Planning.aspx"&gt;https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/BWT/Pages/Technical-Resources-for-Recreation-Planning.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We appreciate the time and energy trail users and partners have put into helping us develop the next trails plan, which will guide investments to make our trails even better in the future,&rdquo; said Oregon Parks and Recreation Department&rsquo;s Statewide Trails Planner Jessica Horning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Each year, more than 80% of Oregonians use trails across the state, generating over $890 million in spending at local businesses and contributing to Oregon&rsquo;s overall economy.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Recreational Trails Plan covers non-motorized trails (hiking, biking, equestrian), motorized ATV trails, snowmobile trails, and non-motorized boating and water trails. It helps provide guidance to not only Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, but to federal, state and local agencies as well as private sector partners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Information for the plan came from multiple sources including statewide surveys of trail users and recreation providers conducted in October 2024 and April 2025, multiple focus groups with specific user groups, workshops at the 2024 and 2025 Oregon Outdoor Recreation Summit, and the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), which is published every five years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With commission approval of the 2026 Plan, State Parks staff will update Recreational Trails Program and ATV Grant criteria to be consistent with the plan. Updated grant criteria will be applied to both grant program&rsquo;s next solicitations in Fall 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Updated essential salmonid habitat map available now]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The map identifies streams where removal-fill permits are often required to help protect critical habitat for salmon species&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Salem, ORE. &ndash; The State of Oregon has published the 2026 essential salmonid habitat map, which shows streams where activities like building docks or adding riprap usually require a removal-fill permit.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The map identifies streams that are critical habitat for Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and other sensitive, threatened or endangered fish species. Oregon law protects these streams by requiring a removal-fill permit for most projects that remove or add materials. &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dsl/wetlands-waters/pages/esh.aspx"&gt;View the adopted 2026 map and learn more&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The map is reviewed annually to reflect current Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;As Oregon&rsquo;s waterways face increasing pressures, keeping our map current with habitat data is more important than ever,&rdquo; said Oregon Department of State Lands Director Kaitlin Lovell. &ldquo;This map helps guide smart decisions today so salmon, steelhead, and other native fish can continue to thrive for generations.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you live near a stream, this map is one of the most useful tools you can check before starting a project on your property. It helps answer a simple but important question: what do I need to do to protect fish habitat here?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 2026 update added approximately 45 stream miles of essential habitat in multiple areas of Oregon. Approximately 4 stream miles are no longer essential habitat due to changes in habitat barriers or improved accuracy and detail in GIS data. This change from 2025 to 2026 represents less than a 1% change to the overall 22,000+ stream miles of essential habitat. &lt;a href="https://maps.dsl.state.or.us/proposedESH2026/"&gt;See the draft map to view the changes for 2026&lt;/a&gt;*.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year&rsquo;s update is unusual due to the historic removal of the four lower Klamath River dams in 2023-2024 and the rapid, ongoing changes to fish distribution that followed. This unprecedented action reopened more than 400 miles of historic fish habitat and spawning grounds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anadromous fish were first observed late in the 2025 season and have begun to re-populate newly accessible areas. Given both the timing and limited data on whether observed habitat use reflects long-term, repeatable patterns, it was determined that these observations did not support designation in time for the 2026 essential salmonid map update. Additional monitoring and coordination will be needed, consistent with the State of Oregon&rsquo;s commitments under the Klamath Power and Facilities Agreement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The annual map update process includes Tribal engagement and a public review and comment period. Stay informed about future map updates by joining DSL&rsquo;s email list for essential salmonid habitat map information. &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dsl/Pages/subscribe.aspx"&gt;Sign up to receive emails&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;*Additional minor edits were made to the adopted map after the comment period, in response to feedback and with confirmation from ODFW. These are not reflected in the draft map.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Combined decisions result in higher rates for PGE customers starting April 1]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; &lt;/strong&gt;The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) has approved rate adjustments for Portland General Electric (PGE) residential customers that take effect April 1, 2026. The changes reflect the combined outcome of PGE&rsquo;s annual power cost update, which was resolved through an all-party agreement among PUC staff, PGE, and consumer advocates. They also incorporate several additional rate-related filings that either increase or decrease customer rates, resulting in a combined net increase for residential customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Residential Customer Impact&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The combined impact of the annual power cost adjustment and other rate-related filings is expected to increase the typical residential customer&rsquo;s monthly bill by about $7.97 or 5%. Actual impacts will vary based on individual energy usage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Residential rate changes were delayed until April 1 under House Bill (HB) 3179, the FAIR Act, which prevents residential rate increases during the winter heating season (Nov. 1-March 31) to help reduce customer cost impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Reasons for the Adjustment&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The overall change reflects updated forecasts for fuel and purchased power costs, recovery of approved storm-related expenses, and investments in the electric distribution system. It also incorporates adjustments related to low-income energy assistance programs, federal hydropower benefits, battery storage resources, demand flexibility, transportation electrification programs, community solar, and wildfire mitigation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Our responsibility is to ensure the lights stay on and service remains safe and reliable,&rdquo; said Commission Chair Letha Tawney. &ldquo;As climate change places new and growing pressures on the grid, the Commission carefully evaluates utility spending that supports system hardening and long-term resilience. These adjustments help ensure utilities can maintain the service their customers depend on every day.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Free help can ensure teenagers don&rsquo;t miss tax refunds    Oregon Department of Human Services&rsquo; partners offer tax help in-person or online (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Free&amp;nbsp;tax&amp;nbsp;help&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;available&amp;nbsp;to meet the needs of&amp;nbsp;young people, some of whom may be&amp;nbsp;earning income for the first time. This help is available&amp;nbsp;through a network of community partners funded by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS)&amp;nbsp;Tax Infrastructure Grant Program.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What young people need to know&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Young people in their first jobs or working part-time may be owed a refund of&amp;nbsp;some&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ìµ&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;or even&amp;nbsp;all&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Ìµ&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;of the taxes withheld from their paychecks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Even if&amp;nbsp;a young person is claimed as a dependent&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;their parents&rsquo; or guardian&rsquo;s return, they still&amp;nbsp;file&amp;nbsp;their own&amp;nbsp;tax return&amp;nbsp;to report&amp;nbsp;their income.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A&amp;nbsp;correctly&amp;nbsp;filed&amp;nbsp;tax&amp;nbsp;return&amp;nbsp;by&amp;nbsp;a child who&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;dependent&amp;nbsp;would&amp;nbsp;not interfere with exemptions claimed by their parents or guardians on their returns.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.75in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ODHS Tax Infrastructure Grant Program funds IRS-certified community organizations and Tribal governments that provide free tax filing help for youth and all people with low incomes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;ODHS Tax Infrastructure Grant Program&amp;nbsp;also funds&amp;nbsp;projects&amp;nbsp;through educators.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Young people helping young people&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As part of an ODHS&amp;nbsp;grant,&amp;nbsp;teachers at Salem&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;McKay High School trained about a dozen students this school year using free, IRS-approved tax-filing software, so they can help their peers. They hold tax filing clinics where students prepare their own returns using the software program&amp;nbsp;and the grant&amp;nbsp;provided incentives, such as coffee gift cards,&amp;nbsp;to get students involved.&amp;nbsp;Teacher Marcia Latta said that in the first clinic a student got $269 back, a recent graduate came back to file and got almost $1,200.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Most get money back.&amp;nbsp;They&rsquo;re&amp;nbsp;so pleased,&rdquo; Latta said. &ldquo;I love that we provide this extra opportunity to our students to develop these skills and it&rsquo;s great to see them get this money back,&rdquo; Latta said.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon State University&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;Shelly Krehbiel said&amp;nbsp;their student-led team has trained about 90 university students this year to provide free tax filing&amp;nbsp;assistance. The Corvallis students also lead site operations, marketing efforts, and training development, including support for outreach teams at OSU Cascades in Bend and OSU Extension Service in Eugene. Krehbiel, who&amp;nbsp;is the&amp;nbsp;Program Manager for Extension and Partner Operations&amp;nbsp;for OSU&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program&nbsp;(VITA),&amp;nbsp;said the&amp;nbsp;program also partners with South Eugene High School&rsquo;s Finance Club, training about 10 students as tax-filing facilitators and helping them reach out to others at their high school to help them file their taxes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;From the people&amp;nbsp;they&rsquo;ve&amp;nbsp;helped there is such surprise. They say,&amp;nbsp;&rsquo;Oh, that was so easy.&rsquo;&amp;nbsp;When people walk into our locations, they look scared and anxious. They walk out smiling and relieved.&amp;nbsp;It&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;great to see,&rdquo; Krehbiel said.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Students who&amp;nbsp;participated&amp;nbsp;in a 2023 ODHS pilot project in nine high schools across the state received state and federal tax refunds ranging between $95 and $1,246.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where and how to get free help&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ODHS Tax Infrastructure Grant Program partners with&amp;nbsp;Get&amp;nbsp;Your&amp;nbsp;Refund, a free online tax filing service&amp;nbsp;through&amp;nbsp;which individuals&amp;nbsp;can have&amp;nbsp;their&amp;nbsp;return prepared or file it&amp;nbsp;themselves&amp;nbsp;using free tax software.&amp;nbsp;Help is available in English and Spanish.

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;(Salem, Oregon) The Travel Information Council and its volunteer Oregon Heritage Tree Committee, invite communities across Oregon to shine a spotlight on their heritage trees in 2026, particularly during Arbor Month in April.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Founded in 1996, Oregon was the first state in the country to launch a state-sponsored heritage tree program. The goal of the program is to educate Oregonians about the value of these trees and promote their appreciation. Over the past 30 years, 85 trees have been designated across the state in 26 of Oregon&rsquo;s 36 counties. Seventy-nine heritage trees are still living and provide the chance to engage the senses and learn about significant people, places and events at historic sites, public gardens, and hiking trails across the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Heritage Tree Committee Chair Dave Hedberg encourages the public to visit a state or local heritage tree. &ldquo;Visiting an Oregon Heritage Tree is a chance to engage your senses and learn about local history in the real world &ndash; not just in books and on screens. All of Oregon&rsquo;s Heritage Trees are deeply connected to the people of the past. Enjoying these trees today connects us with our history.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;State-designated heritage trees in your area:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Captain Flavel Trees, Astoria: &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Captain George Flavel planted this grove of trees at his home which is now a historic house museum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sitka Spruce at Klootchy Creek:&lt;/strong&gt; Oregon's first heritage tree and once the nation's largest Sitka Spruce.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Student Planters&rsquo; Grove, Tillamook Forest Center:&lt;/strong&gt; This grove of Douglas-fir planted by school children in the 1950s is symbolic of the millions of trees planted by volunteers in the reforestation of the Tillamook Burn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Octopus Tree, Cape Meares Scenic Viewpoint: &lt;/strong&gt;Unique Sitka Spruce that grew with no central trunk.&amp;nbsp; The forces that shaped this tree have been debated for many years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Northrup Creek Horse Camp Big Tree Trail:&lt;/strong&gt; This trail encompasses a wide assortment of trees which includes many examples of larger sized trees including grand fir, western redcedar, Sitka spruce, red alder, bigleaf maple, bitter cherry, and willow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Individuals, cities, tourism organizations, and heritage groups are invited to nominate a tree with documented historic significance to the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Al Tocchini, vice-chair of the Oregon Heritage Tree Committee says he and fellow members share a clear vision for the future of program- to be more inclusive. &ldquo;We are seeking underrepresented stories of Oregon&rsquo;s diverse populations in places that are accessible to the general public.&rdquo; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Heritage Tree Program is administered by the Oregon Travel Information Council and a committee of dedicated volunteers from across the state. The Travel Information Council is a semi-independent state agency created by the State of Oregon in the 1970s to operate the highway blue logo sign program following the Highway Beautification Act. The agency now also operates the Oregon Historical Marker and Heritage Tree Programs as well as 39 rest areas at 25 locations in Oregon, providing clean, safe, and inviting locations that are open and free to use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.&lt;/p&gt;

Dr. Charles Caples planted this orchard of apple and pear trees shortly after bears decimated his original 1870 plum orchard.&amp;nbsp; Charles Caples was the first doctor in Columbia County, founded the first school with his sister, and operated riverboats with his brother.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;State-designated heritage trees in the area:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Foster Lilac, Eagle Creek: &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The original start of this lilac tree was brought from Maine to Oregon in 1843 by Mary Charlotte Foster, wife of Philip Foster, partner with Sam Barlow on the Barlow Road.&amp;nbsp; The Fosters sailed Cape Horn and Mary Charlotte planted the lilac immediately upon her arrival in Oregon City.&amp;nbsp; She moved it five times, replanting it at each of her homes.&amp;nbsp; It was planted at its current location in 1883.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barlow Road Tollgate Maples, Rhododendron:&lt;/strong&gt; These two bigleaf maple trees, one on each side of the replica tollgate, are believed to have been planted by Daniel Parker who was the tollgate keeper here from 1883 to 1902.&amp;nbsp; The Barlow Road is a branch of the Oregon National Historic Trail and was opened as a toll road in 1846 by Sam Barlow and Phillip Foster.&amp;nbsp; This was the western-most and last tollgate operated on the Barlow Road.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frank Lockyear Memorial Cedar Grove, Estacada: &lt;/strong&gt;The grove of western redcedar trees at North Fork Crossing was planted by Frank Lockyear and his Boy Scout troop in 1934 in an area burned by fire in 1929.&amp;nbsp; This was the first of hundreds of tree planting projects organized by Lockyear as he dedicated his life to reforestation.&amp;nbsp; In 1973, Lockyear founded ReTree International to plant trees worldwide and to involve and educate youth about the importance of trees to our planet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Founded in 1996, Oregon was the first state in the country to launch a state-sponsored heritage tree program. The goal of the program is to educate Oregonians about the value of these trees and promote their appreciation. Over the past 30 years, 85 trees have been designated across the state in 26 of Oregon&rsquo;s 36 counties. Seventy-nine heritage trees are still living and provide the chance to engage the senses and learn about significant people, places and events at historic sites, public gardens, and hiking trails across the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Heritage Tree Committee Chair Dave Hedberg encourages the public to visit a state or local heritage tree. &ldquo;Visiting an Oregon Heritage Tree is a chance to engage your senses and learn about local history in the real world &ndash; not just in books and on screens. All of Oregon&rsquo;s Heritage Trees are deeply connected to the people of the past. Enjoying these trees today connects us with our history.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;State-designated heritage trees in the area:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shipley-Cook Farmstead Grove, Lake Oswego:&lt;/strong&gt; Private arboretum collected by Adam Randolph Shipley.&amp;nbsp; Shipley was an influential businessman, horticulturist and grange leader.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Willamette River Cable Trees, Wilsonville: &lt;/strong&gt;Trees used to secure large log rafts in the Willamette River. Trees still have scars and pieces of cable in the trunks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grove of the States, Wilsonville: &lt;/strong&gt;Grove of trees planted in 1967, representing each US state. The Grove was created to celebrate the passage of the 1965 Highway Beautification Act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stein-Boozier Walnut Orchard, Wilsonville:&lt;/strong&gt; This English walnut orchard is a remnant of thousands of acres of walnuts planted in western Oregon in the early 20th century before the filbert industry became dominant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;R.V. Short Fir, Wilsonville: &lt;/strong&gt;This Douglas fir stands on the Donation Land Claim of Robert Valentine Short, a prominent land surveyor in the mid-1800s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pow-Wow Tree, Gladstone:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;This bigleaf maple is believed to have been a meeting place for Clackamas Indian people and by tradition is called the Pow-Wow Tree.&amp;nbsp; It marked the site of the first Clackamas County Fair in 1860 and the first Oregon State Fair in 1861.&amp;nbsp; It was later honored at the 1937 Gladstone Pow-Wow celebration and recognized again in 1979 as an American Bicentennial tree.&amp;nbsp; The tree has become Gladstone's city emblem and since 1967 has been given annual care to help prolong its life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aurora Colony Black Walnut, Aurora:&lt;/strong&gt; This black walnut was planted c. 1884 by the Zimmerman family who were prominent members of the Aurora Colony. Early Aurora settlers were talented and industrious. Their products gained a wide reputation for excellence during the early days of Willamette Valley settlement. As a carpenter, Christian Zimmerman helped build the village and likely planted the tree and others like it for the valuable hardwood.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ewing Young Oak, Newberg: &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ewing Young, a former fur trapper and trader, settled in the Chehalem Valley in 1834 and died here in 1841.&amp;nbsp; His death directly led to the Champoeg Meeting and the beginning of the organization of the Provisional Government in 1843.&amp;nbsp; On May 6, 1846, an acorn was planted here on his grave near his cabin by Miranda Bayley and Sidney Smith.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hoover-Minthorn Pear, Newberg:&lt;/strong&gt; This Winter Nelis pear tree, planted in 1879, is associated with the boyhood years of President Herbert Hoover.&amp;nbsp; When the 11-year-old Hoover arrived here from Iowa in 1885 to live with his uncle John Minthorn and family, he joined his aunt and cousins in the task of making pear butter.&amp;nbsp; Hoover later wrote that after the ill effects of an almost exclusive pear diet for two days, he could not eat pears again for many years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baker/Russell Black Walnut, McMinnville:&lt;/strong&gt; Andrew J. Baker, who arrived in the Oregon Territory in 1843 as part of the Great Migration, planted the black walnut in 1870 next to his house, built in 1852.&amp;nbsp; The house, which still stands at this site, was used as a stagecoach stop in the last 1800s.&amp;nbsp; The property was purchased by William S. Russell and is still owned by Russell's heirs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Willamette Mission Cottonwood, Brooks:&lt;/strong&gt; This giant black cottonwood stands near the site of the Willamette Mission established by Reverend Jason Lee in 1834.&amp;nbsp; At the time the mission and tree were located on the banks of the Willamette River.&amp;nbsp; The great flood in 1861 changed the river course to its present channel leaving what is now Mission Lake.&amp;nbsp; The Willamette Mission Cottonwood is the largest of its kind in Oregon and the nation.&lt;/p&gt;

Seventy-nine heritage trees are still living and provide the chance to engage the senses and learn about significant people, places and events at historic sites, public gardens, and hiking trails across the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Heritage Tree Committee Chair Dave Hedberg encourages the public to visit a state or local heritage tree. &ldquo;Visiting an Oregon Heritage Tree is a chance to engage your senses and learn about local history in the real world &ndash; not just in books and on screens. All of Oregon&rsquo;s Heritage Trees are deeply connected to the people of the past. Enjoying these trees today connects us with our history.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dosch Yellow Bellflower Apple in southwest:&lt;/strong&gt; Planted in 1850, from stock of the pioneer Luelling and Meek nursery in Milwaukie- the first grafted fruit tree nursery on the west coast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Individuals, cities, tourism organizations, and heritage groups are invited to nominate a tree with documented historic significance to the state. Al Tocchini, vice-chair of the Oregon Heritage Tree Committee says he and fellow members share a clear vision for the future of program- to be more inclusive. &ldquo;In particular, we are seeking underrepresented stories of Oregon&rsquo;s diverse populations in places that are accessible to the general public.&rdquo; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Speakers announced for Oregon&rsquo;s largest urban forestry conference (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;EUGENE, Ore. - The many ways trees protect human health is the focus of the 2026 Oregon Urban and Community Forestry Conference to be held June 4 in Eugene at Venue 252. The full lineup of speakers &ndash; 11 in all &ndash; has now been announced. Conference theme is &lt;em&gt;We Thrive When Trees Thrive.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year&rsquo;s keynote speaker is Geoffrey Donovan, a natural resource economist with the private consultancy firm &lt;a href="https://www.ashelmconsulting.com/"&gt;Ash and Elm Consulting, LLC&lt;/a&gt;. When he was a researcher based at the USDA Forest Service&rsquo;s Pacific Northwest Research Station, Donovan published a ground-breaking study that&amp;nbsp;found each tree planted in Portland by the non-profit Friends of Trees was associated with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular human deaths.&amp;nbsp;Donovan had access to years&rsquo; worth of tree planting data from Friends of Trees. Specifically, he used the planting data from the nearly 50,000 trees that organization had planted in Portland neighborhoods since 1990. Donovan was able to rule out other possible explanations for the lower death rate like race, education, and income, by using the statistical models from the American Community Survey. The findings were published in December 2022 in the journal&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Environmental International.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Donovan&rsquo;s work has also shown a strong correlation between sudden tree canopy loss and higher death rates using data from the Midwest where ash trees were suddenly killed by emerald ash borer, leaving residents exposed to air pollution, noise, and other stressors.&amp;nbsp;He has also investigated how pregnant women in Portland who live near large shade trees are less likely to give birth prematurely.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other presenters include:&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[New Rule Advisory Committee to discuss updates to the County Opportunity Grant Program rules]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Oregon&mdash; A new Rule Advisory Committee (RAC) will review proposed updates to the County Opportunity Grant Program (COGP) rules and provide feedback on draft rule changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Rule Advisory Committee will meet from &lt;strong&gt;2 to 4 p.m. Monday, April 13&lt;/strong&gt;. The public can watch the livestream on the &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@oprddirectorsoffice5783"&gt;OPRD Director&rsquo;s Office&lt;/a&gt; channel on YouTube. A recording will be available after the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Rule Advisory Committee includes representatives from local governments, recreation providers and other stakeholders with experience in park and recreation planning, development and management.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Staff will incorporate the committee's feedback into the proposed draft rules and then open them for public comment. Following the public comment period and hearing, staff will present the proposed rules to the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission for consideration of adoption.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The County Opportunity Grant Program (COGP), administered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), provides financial assistance to counties for the acquisition, development, rehabilitation and planning of county park and recreation areas that provide camping facilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OPRD is proposing updates to portions of the rules to reflect modern program practices, improve administrative clarity and ensure consistency with related state and federal grant programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The proposed changes include updating definitions, formalizing administrative processes, clarifying grant application requirements and scoring criteria, and increasing administrative flexibility. The proposal also includes adding an emergency procedure rule and a conversion rule to establish long-term stewardship requirements that align COGP with other OPRD grant programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The proposed rule changes are intended to update and clarify grant program practices without altering the core purpose or structure of the program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Interested individuals can follow updates, read the draft rules, and learn more about the rulemaking process on the &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PRP/Pages/PRP-County%20Opportunity%20Grant%20Program%20%28COGP%29.aspx"&gt;OPRD rulemaking webpage found here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Volunteers help keep state forest shooting lanes maintained and open (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;TILLAMOOK STATE FOREST, Ore. &mdash; More than 55 volunteers helped clean and restore the Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes and nearby forest roads on March 21. Volunteers removed graffiti from boulders, replaced vandalized signs, and collected enough trash to fill a 30-yard dumpster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We simply could not keep these shooting lanes open and maintained without this kind of support,&rdquo; said Ben Burns, Recreation Facilities Manager with the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). &ldquo;Trash No Land has been an outstanding partner, organizing volunteers not only for this annual cleanup but throughout the year.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Trash No Land is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting responsible recreational target shooting while protecting public lands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We are all public landowners,&rdquo; said Bill Cogley, president and co-founder of Trash No Land. &ldquo;That comes with a responsibility to follow the rules and respect others. We focus on education and hands-on efforts like this cleanup to make a positive difference.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to picking up trash several volunteers donated $740 for the dumpster before the cleanup day and raised $1,005 from a raffle of donated items from local businesses that will go to future improvements at Wolf Creek.&amp;nbsp; They also coordinated and paid for the replacement of vandalized signs at the lanes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We had a power washer to clean graffiti off the boulders and painted over it on the concrete barriers,&rdquo; said Cogley.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;The volunteers were divided up into five crews and everyone worked so hard and fast we were done by noon.&amp;nbsp; I thank everyone who came out who cared and shared for our places to shoot on public lands.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODF manages two designated target shooting areas: the North Fork Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes in the Tillamook State Forest and the BC615 Shooting Lanes in the Santiam State Forest. In addition, ODF maintains 22 campgrounds and 61 trailheads, off-highway vehicle staging areas, and day-use sites with a facilities staff of just 13 people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Volunteers are critical to keeping all our sites clean, safe and enjoyable and we thank them for their year-round efforts,&rdquo; said Burns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Trash is an eyesore and diminishes the outdoor experience but the top concern at the shooting ranges is safety.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Two fires ignited at the shooting lanes last year due to irresponsible target shooting practices but were quickly contained by ODF firefighters,&rdquo; said Burns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The top fire-starting concerns are improper backstops and banned ammunition along with exploding targets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;There are high, vegetation free backstops at the shooting lanes,&rdquo; said Burns.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;The problem is from shooters who move targets outside those areas or use an improper backstop.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sparks into dried out vegetation and smoldering lead in an improper stop like an old stump or log can easily start a fire.&amp;nbsp; All incendiary ammunition is prohibited on all public lands as are exploding targets such as Tannerite.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Banned ammunition includes tracer rounds and any others that burn, glow or ignite.&amp;nbsp; This also includes shooting flares from flare guns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To manage these sorts of unsafe target shooting practices, Tillamook and Washington County Sheriff&rsquo;s deputies work with ODF staff to issue citations and fines to violators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite these safety concerns ODF and Trash No Land are working together, for the vast majority of users who do follow the rules, to improve the shooting lanes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We are pursuing grants and fundraising to support upgrades,&rdquo; Cogley said. &ldquo;Our goal is to make the site safer and more sustainable for everyone.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Planned improvements include expanding shooting lanes and enhancing fire prevention and safety features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both organizations emphasize that the future of the site depends on responsible use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;If we want to keep these areas open, everyone needs to take that responsibility seriously,&rdquo; Cogley said. &ldquo;That starts with education, volunteerism, and setting a good example.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information about volunteer opportunities, see the &lt;a href="https://www.trashnoland.org/"&gt;Trash No Land website.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note: The Butte Creek 615 Shooting Lane in the Santiam State Forest is temporarily closed due to nearby timber harvest operations and will reopen once work is complete.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For immediate release:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;March 26, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media&amp;nbsp;Contact:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:communications@employ.oregon.gov"&gt;communications@employ.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:20px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;WorkSource Oregon Invites Job Seekers in the Portland Metro Area to Apply to Oregon Training Institute&rsquo;s Paid Weatherization Training Program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEAVERTON, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&mdash; WorkSource Oregon invites job seekers to learn about and apply for Oregon Training Institute&rsquo;s Energy Conservation and Weatherization Career Program. Oregon Training Institute (OTI) will host an information session about this paid training opportunity on Monday, March 30, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon at WorkSource Oregon&rsquo;s Beaverton/Hillsboro location. Job seekers are invited to attend at no cost and may complete the program application during the session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Weatherization refers to home improvements that save energy and money on utility bills while improving the safety and comfort of a home. Career paths in this field include positions such as retrofit installer, crew leader, energy auditor, quality control inspector, and client services representative. OTI prepares job seekers for these roles by teaching key skills such as conducting energy audits, installing insulation, sealing air leaks, venting clothes dryers, installing roof vents, and using blower doors to assess energy loss.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Oregon&rsquo;s clean energy future depends on a skilled, local workforce, and the Oregon Energy Conservation and Weatherization Training Program is helping make that possible,&rdquo; said Suzanne Gray, workforce development manager for the Community Action Partnership of Oregon, which administers the OTI program. &ldquo;This recruitment event connects job seekers with a team committed to energy efficiency and strengthening local communities. We&rsquo;re excited to meet candidates ready to build meaningful careers.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The program consists of three phases, with the next cohort scheduled for June 8-Sept. 10, 2026. Participants will gain valuable in-the-field experience, including opportunities for supervised work with a contractor, job shadowing, mentoring, and more. Upon successful completion of each phase, they will earn wage increases and certificates for employment in the weatherization field. Participants begin the program earning $18.20 per hour; those who advance to the final phase conclude the program with a wage of $23 per hour.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This is a great opportunity for people to connect directly with a paid training provider,&rdquo; said Jim Pfarrer, director of Workforce Operations with the Oregon Employment Department. &ldquo;This is the time to make a strong impression, and job seekers should come ready to talk about their strengths and experience.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;WorkSource Oregon &ndash; Beaverton/Hillsboro is pleased to bring this exciting event to job seekers in the Portland metro area,&rdquo; said Jeffrey Janssen, business and employment specialist. &ldquo;Even if this event isn&rsquo;t for you, we still encourage you to come into one of our centers. This is just one example of the many services we offer at no cost to help people find a job or get the training they need to be successful.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Employment Department and WorkSource Oregon are proud to partner with businesses and employers across the state in finding qualified employees. If you are interested in collaborating on a hiring event or learning more about our resources for employers, please contact &lt;a href="mailto:EmployerServices@oregon.gov"&gt;EmployerServices@oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Oregon Health Authority highlights Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, encourages screening&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:30px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you should know:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, arial, Geneva, Helvetica, Century; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242);"&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Colorectal cancer rates for people under 50 are increasing, screening age recommendations have changed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;About 90% of&amp;nbsp;colorectal cancer&amp;nbsp;cases&amp;nbsp;can be prevented through screening.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. -&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;In recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness&amp;nbsp;Month, Oregon&amp;nbsp;Health Authority (OHA) is encouraging&amp;nbsp;people in Oregon&amp;nbsp;to talk with their health care providers&amp;nbsp;about colorectal cancer screening and take steps to reduce their risk of the disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when it is detected early through screening,&rdquo; said Tom Jeanne, M.D., M.P.H., deputy state health&amp;nbsp;officer&amp;nbsp;and epidemiologist at OHA.&nbsp;&ldquo;Early detection is key. When colorectal cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and often preventable through removal of precancerous polyps. We encourage Oregonians to learn their risk and talk with their health care provider about getting screened.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colorectal cancer&amp;nbsp;&mdash;&amp;nbsp;cancer of the colon or rectum&amp;nbsp;&mdash;&amp;nbsp;remains&amp;nbsp;one of the most common cancers in Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;According to state cancer registry data:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;1,727 Oregonians were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023, and more than 648 people died from the disease that year.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Overall, colorectal cancer is the fourth&amp;nbsp;most diagnosed&amp;nbsp;cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Screening saves&amp;nbsp;lives&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although&amp;nbsp;colorectal cancer most often affects older adults, health experts are seeing an increase in diagnoses among younger people.&amp;nbsp;In&amp;nbsp;Oregon,&amp;nbsp;and across the United States, the rate of colorectal cancer diagnoses among people under age 50 has increased in recent decades.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Due to this increase,&amp;nbsp;health&amp;nbsp;experts&amp;nbsp;now&amp;nbsp;recommend that most adults begin routine colorectal cancer screening&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;age 45.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Screening can detect precancerous polyps before they become cancer or&amp;nbsp;identify&amp;nbsp;cancer early,&amp;nbsp;when cancer is easier to treat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Screening for colorectal cancer is especially important since many people&amp;nbsp;don&rsquo;t&amp;nbsp;experience symptoms until a later stage of the cancer, when&amp;nbsp;it&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;harder to treat.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Screening options&amp;nbsp;most commonly&amp;nbsp;include&amp;nbsp;at-home&amp;nbsp;stool tests&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;colonoscopies,&amp;nbsp;although&amp;nbsp;other procedures&amp;nbsp;can be&amp;nbsp;recommended by health care providers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oregon has made progress in reducing colorectal cancer rates over the past two decades. The state&rsquo;s colorectal cancer diagnosis rate declined from 52.5 cases per 100,000 people in 2000 to about 30.8 cases per 100,000 in 2021, reflecting improvements in prevention and screening.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even so,&amp;nbsp;people in rural Oregon have lower colorectal cancer screening rates than people in cities. They also have higher overall rates of colorectal cancer,&amp;nbsp;laterâ'stage diagnoses, and higher death rates. This is mostly because rural communities have less access to primary care, cancer screening, and medical specialists. Wait times are longer, and sometimes there are no providers at all. As a result, many people must travel long distances for care, which can deter them from seeking care altogether.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OHA is committed to&amp;nbsp;eliminating&amp;nbsp;health inequities and continues to work with rural and frontier communities in many ways to reduce identified barriers to care. The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) covers&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;some at-home stool tests,&amp;nbsp;as well as colonoscopies, with no cost sharing. Health care providers serving people in rural areas can recommend at-home stool kits for&amp;nbsp;appropriate patients, which can help reduce barriers to getting screened.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Reducing your risk&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OHA encourages Oregonians to take steps that can help lower their risk of colorectal cancer:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Get&amp;nbsp;screened&amp;nbsp;starting at age 45 or earlier if recommended by a provider&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Eat a&amp;nbsp;balanced&amp;nbsp;diet rich in fruits,&amp;nbsp;vegetables&amp;nbsp;and whole grains&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Avoid&amp;nbsp;high amounts&amp;nbsp;of fat and limit processed and red meats&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Avoid excessive alcohol consumption&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Stay physically active&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Avoid tobacco&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[ODF program invests more than $3.2 million to accelerate forest resilience work in Oregon (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore. &mdash; The Oregon Department of Forestry&rsquo;s (ODF) Federal Forest Restoration Program (FFR Program) is awarding $3 million in planning assistance funding and separate grants of nearly $264,000 to forest collaboratives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;These new investments reflect a simple strategy: invest in the people, science, and planning needed to deliver more forest restoration work on the ground,&rdquo; said Kyle Sullivan-Astor, ODF&rsquo;s Federal Forest Restoration Program Lead.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The program also recently released a &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odf/working/documents/ffr-update-report-feb2026.pdf"&gt;new report&lt;/a&gt; highlighting on-the-ground accomplishments, recent investments, and key program developments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$3 million awarded to accelerate &ldquo;A to Z&rdquo; planning for large federal projects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The $3 million in &ldquo;A to Z&rdquo; Planning Assistance funding for the 2025&ndash;27 biennium is to help the U.S. Forest Service accelerate National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) planning for high-priority, landscape-scale projects.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;All landscape resiliency work on federal lands must comply with mandatory environmental laws,&rdquo; said Sullivan-Astor. &ldquo;That process is thorough, helps avoid and mitigate environmental harm, and often requires significant time and resources. This funding allows ODF to see projects through from A to Z, adding expertise and capacity to our federal partners and getting work done more quickly than it otherwise would.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Awards include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Rogue River&ndash;Siskiyou National Forest (Grayback) &mdash; $500,000&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Mt. Hood National Forest (The Dalles Watershed) &mdash; $500,000&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Malheur National Forest (Bogue Gulch) &mdash; $600,000&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Umpqua National Forest (Thunder Cat) &mdash; $650,000&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Wallowa&ndash;Whitman National Forest (Unity Point) &mdash; $750,000&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One example of this funding at work is in the Rogue River&ndash;Siskiyou National Forest. The Grayback project proposes thinning and fuels reduction on approximately 4,000 acres to improve forest resiliency, reduce fuel loading, and improve public and firefighter access in a high-risk wildfire landscape. Treatments will include plantation thinning and fuels reduction along strategic fuel management zones, and opportunities for maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For an overview of all the funded projects and details on the associated work go &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odf/working/documents/ffr-2025-2027-planning-assistance-funding-decisions-and-evaluations.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Planning assistance grants are a combination of state General Funds and federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds provided to ODF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First-round Forest Collaborative Grant awards announced&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODF, working in partnership with the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), awarded $138,899 under the Forest Collaborative Grant program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A forest collaborative is a local group of people and organizations with different perspectives on public forest management who work together to find common ground and support active management projects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The overarching goal of this program is to increase the number, acreage, and complexity of collaboratively planned restoration projects on federal lands in Oregon by strengthening governance, supporting zones of agreement, and supporting collective action where coordination help is needed,&rdquo; said Sullivan-Astor. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Those receiving the grants include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Southern Oregon Forest Restoration Collaborative&mdash;$76,709 for &lt;em&gt;Rogue Forests in Transition: Building Collaborative Solutions&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Wasco Soil and Water Conservation District&mdash;$62,190 for &lt;em&gt;Mt. Hood East Zone Forest Collaborative Project&lt;/em&gt; supporting collaborative engagement around the South Wasco Ecosystem Restoration effort.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For an overview of the projects go &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oweb/grants/pages/forest-collaboratives.aspx"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;These grants support the &lsquo;people infrastructure&rsquo; that helps federal agencies and communities surface disagreements early, build shared understanding, and develop more durable restoration priorities over time,&rdquo; said Sullivan-Astor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$125,000 in Technical Assistance and Science Support awards for collaboratives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODF also awarded $125,000 in Technical Assistance and Science Support grants to support project partnerships between forest collaboratives and external technical/science providers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;TASS projects are designed to provide collaboratives with specialized expertise, such as scientific analysis, communications support, monitoring design, tools, and training, with a clearly defined public deliverable at project completion,&rdquo; said Sullivan-Astor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Federal Forest Restoration Program&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Oregon Legislature created the Federal Forest Restoration Program in 2013 to improve the resilience of Oregon&rsquo;s federal forests. The FFR Program plays a role in the state&rsquo;s ability to work across ownership boundaries to reduce the risk of stand-replacing wildfire, improve forest and watershed health, and create jobs in rural, forest dependent communities.&lt;/p&gt;

It affects families,&amp;nbsp;workers,&amp;nbsp;and local economies. Addressing housing affordability requires removing barriers&amp;nbsp;in ways&amp;nbsp;that concretely translate into more housing opportunities, stronger&amp;nbsp;communities,&amp;nbsp;and real paths to homeownership.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:calibri,calibri_embeddedfont,calibri_msfontservice,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;The Flex Lending program made homeownership feel attainable and supportive rather than overwhelming,&rdquo; Paintin said.&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;I appreciated the flexibility, the clear guidance, and the way the program works to remove barriers that often make buying a home feel out of reach.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Dept. of Forestry names Salem Oregon&rsquo;s  Tree City of the Year]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore. &ndash; The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Urban and Community Forestry Program has chosen Salem as the state&rsquo;s Tree City of the Year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Scott Altenhoff who manages ODF&rsquo;s Urban and Community Forestry Program, said Salem was the perfect choice in 2026 both for its vigorous response to the threat from the tree-killing pest emerald ash borer and because it is marking 50 years as a Tree City USA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Salem has the distinction of being the first community in Oregon to meet the four criteria needed to become a Tree City USA, a national program of the non-profit Arbor Day Foundation that ODF administers in Oregon,&rdquo; said Altenhoff. &ldquo;They have been leaders, working to meet the many challenges facing Oregon&rsquo;s urban forests using recommended best practices.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Altenhoff said Salem earned the honor through:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;diversified tree plantings in natural areas, parks, and along streets&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;maintaining professionally credentialed arborists to manage the city&rsquo;s public trees&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;working to increase its&amp;nbsp; tree canopy (the percent of land area in the city covered by trees) to 28 percent&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;hosting an annual cherry blossom festival each spring (Salem is known as the Cherry City for its many ornamental cherry trees)&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;providing in 2025 opportunities for the next generation of urban foresters to develop their skills via Salem's Urban Forestry Internship program, which also accomplished great work in updating Salem's tree inventory.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Salem&rsquo;s Planning &amp;amp; Development Department implementation and enforcement of the Significant Tree Code, which protects Oregon white oaks over 20&rdquo; and other tree species over 30&rdquo; and has increased funds for tree planting through enforcement and fines&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Salem&rsquo;s updated &amp;nbsp;tree ordinance and increased tree planting show Salem's commitment to both protecting existing canopy and growing the city&rsquo;s urban forest,&rdquo; said Altenhoff .&rdquo;I also commend them for the work they&rsquo;d done to inventory their trees using the Tree Plotter program, which is helping create a statewide database of urban trees in Oregon.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Altenhoff said &ldquo;We also wanted to recognize Salem for its leadership in responding to the threat posed by emerald ash borer. When Salem learned that this pest had been found barely 25 miles east in Woodburn, staff took immediate action to survey their street and park trees to find out how many were ash and what shape they were in.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Salem&rsquo;s Urban Forester Milan Davis said, &ldquo;We wanted to treat ash in good condition and remove and replace those in poor condition or that were planted in the wrong space for their size.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of some 1,800 trees surveyed that were ash, 1,200 were in good enough condition to be protected with an injection of a systemic insecticide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Davis said, &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to lose these healthy, mature shade trees. To that end we treated 600 of our ash trees last year, with another 600 planned to be protected this year.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Matt Mills, one of ODF&rsquo;s Emerald Ash Borer Support Specialists, said &ldquo;Salem's EAB Management Plan is comprehensive and stellar. Salem is&amp;nbsp;setting a great example for other Oregon communities.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We are preparing to combat and slow the spread of emerald ash borer in Salem, and in doing so help to shape the future of our urban forest,&rdquo; said Meridith Greer, Salem&rsquo;s Natural Resources Planning Manager. &ldquo;Emerald ash borer will have a massive impact on the entirety of the Willamette Valley. Our goal is to protect the trees we can, prepare for the ones were going to lose and continue to create a vibrant and resilient urban tree canopy.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oregon&rsquo;s original Tree City USA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today, more than 3,500 cities and towns across the country are recognized as Tree City USA communities, including 69 in Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Acknowledging Salem&rsquo;s status as one of the original Tree City USA communities since the program launched in 1976, the Arbor Day Foundation&rsquo;s Chief Executive Dan Lambe said, &ldquo;This 50&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; milestone is more than a number. It reflects Salem&rsquo;s leadership, vision and unwavering commitment to the health and vitality of the community.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lambe added, &ldquo;Salem&rsquo;s dedication has never been just about trees. It has always been about cleaner air, stronger neighborhoods and ensuring a more resilient future.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Salem also has the most trees grown from seeds of trees that survived the atom bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Six of these peace trees from Japan grow in Salem, from a persimmon in Pringle Park to a ginkgo each on the grounds of the Oregon State Penitentiary and the ODF campus, and three at the Unity Church of Salem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; # # #&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;This $13.23 million investment, including $12 million in legislatively approved bonds (2023) and $1.23 million from additional funding sources, builds on ODF&rsquo;s long-standing aviation program that has enhanced wildfire detection and response for decades.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new aircraft is a Twin Otter airframe that replaces the agency&rsquo;s long-serving Partenavia&amp;nbsp;P.68&amp;nbsp;Observer aircraft which is retiring after more than 30 years of service.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This aircraft represents a major step forward for Oregon&rsquo;s aviation program,&rdquo; said Neal Laugle, State Aviation Manager for the Oregon Department of Forestry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new $7.8 million dollar aircraft brings improved endurance, range, and payload capacity, allowing it to remain airborne longer, cover more ground, and transport more personnel and equipment when needed. However, the most significant advancement is the integration of $5.4 million in advanced sensing technology and mission systems, transforming the aircraft into a true aerial intelligence platform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled wide-area mapping, high-definition thermal imaging, augmented reality mapping software, and night operations capability, the aircraft will allow ODF to identify and communicate emerging incidents more quickly, track fire behavior with greater precision, and maintain situational awareness during both daytime and nighttime operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;It builds on decades of experience while bringing new capabilities that allow us to detect fires earlier, understand conditions in real time, and provide critical intelligence to firefighters and decision-makers on the ground when every minute matters,&rdquo; said Laugle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During a typical wildfire detection mission, crews monitor weather forecasts and lightning activity to anticipate potential fire starts. As storms move through, lightning strike location data is captured and uploaded into the aircraft&rsquo;s mapping software and mission planning tools. When conditions are safe, the aircraft is deployed to scan affected areas using onboard sensors and night vision goggles to detect new fire starts&mdash;often before they are visible to the public or reported through traditional means. Once a fire is identified, dispatch centers are notified so suppression resources can respond.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;What makes ODF&rsquo;s Multi-Mission Aircraft unique is the combination of advanced mission systems with night vision capability,&rdquo; said Laugle. &ldquo;When operating at night, NVGs allow our crews to detect subtle visual cues&mdash;like the flicker of a new fire start&mdash;that are often difficult or impossible to see with the naked eye. Paired with our onboard sensors, this significantly improves our ability to find and respond to fires at night.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beyond wildfire response, the Multi-Mission Aircraft significantly expands Oregon&rsquo;s all-hazards capabilities. The aircraft can support incidents such as floods, severe storms, search and rescue operations, and disaster damage assessment by rapidly collecting and sharing geospatial intelligence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This capability will improve coordination across state agencies, local responders, and incident management teams&mdash;helping ensure a faster, more unified response during emergencies,&rdquo; said Prout.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The aircraft will support a wide range of mission sets, including:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Wildfire detection and reconnaissance&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Real-time situational awareness and mapping&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Air Tactical Group Supervisor (ATGS) coordination&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Movement of personnel and equipment&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Support to non-fire and natural resource missions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It will also generate a suite of data products, including live-streamed video, recorded full-motion video, georeferenced imagery, and mapping data that can be rapidly shared across agencies to support decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;ODF is coordinating closely with the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, Oregon State Fire Marshal, federal partners, and local agencies to ensure the aircraft is fully integrated into Oregon&rsquo;s emergency response system,&rdquo; said Sarah Prout.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new aircraft will be based at Prineville Airport in central Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We can easily reach all four corners of the state with relatively short flight times from Prineville,&rdquo; said Laugle.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;Also, lightning storm activity, that the aircraft tracks closely, is typically more frequent in eastern and southern Oregon so it makes operational sense to base it there.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The aircraft is currently undergoing final integration and testing in California. Once the aircraft is delivered, pilots and aerial observers will complete several weeks of training to ensure the aircraft and its systems are fully operational for the upcoming fire season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As wildfire seasons grow longer and more complex, continued investments like the Multi-Mission Aircraft will be critical.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The MMA positions Oregon to better meet evolving challenges&mdash;by leveraging advanced technology and decades of operational experience to protect communities, natural resources, and the landscapes that define the state,&rdquo; said Sarah Prout.&lt;/p&gt;

Federal BRIC Mitigation Funding Resuming&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&mdash;&amp;nbsp;The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) is providing an update on the status of Oregon&rsquo;s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program applications following new information issued by the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oem/Memos%20and%20Executive%20Orders/3.18.26-FEMA%20Advisory_Update_on_BRIC_Program.pdf" rel="noopener" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(59, 116, 181);" target="_blank"&gt;Federal Emergency Management Agency on March 18, 2026&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;FEMA has notified states, tribal&amp;nbsp;nations&amp;nbsp;and territories that the agency is resuming key BRIC program activities &mdash; including project monitoring, closeout&amp;nbsp;processes&amp;nbsp;and pre-award reviews &mdash;&amp;nbsp;if and when&amp;nbsp;federal appropriations are restored. The announcement follows FEMA&rsquo;s cancellation of the BRIC program in early 2025, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.doj.state.or.us/media-home/news-media-releases/ag-rayfield-secures-court-victory-preventing-trump-from-cutting-disaster-funding/" rel="noopener" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(59, 116, 181);" target="_blank"&gt;subsequent successful lawsuits&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;brought by several states, including Oregon, and applies to BRIC subawards and&amp;nbsp;subapplications&amp;nbsp;from fiscal years 2020 through 2023.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;A&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oem/Memos%20and%20Executive%20Orders/3.17.26_Oregon_BRIC_Notification_Letter.pdf" rel="noopener" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(59, 116, 181);" target="_blank"&gt;March 17&amp;nbsp;letter&amp;nbsp;from FEMA&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to OEM provided a status update for Oregon&rsquo;s projects. The list was not comprehensive as it included only awarded projects and selected-but-notâ'funded subapplications from fiscal years 2020&ndash;2023.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;It should not be interpreted as a final list of future BRIC awards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;On March 23, 2026,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oem/Memos%20and%20Executive%20Orders/031826_FEMA-Grants-Outcomes-and-Non-Disaster-Grants-Stystem-Status.pdf" rel="noopener" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(59, 116, 181);" target="_blank"&gt;FEMA announced&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that the FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) and Nonâ'Disaster Grants (ND Grants) systems have been restored and are now operational for grant recipients. These systems have been inaccessible since the federal funding lapse began on February 14, 2026.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Grant recipients may now&amp;nbsp;submit&amp;nbsp;amendments and payment requests on all grant awards, including the BRIC program.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Because the Department of Homeland Security&amp;nbsp;remains&amp;nbsp;in a funding lapse, federal staff are only available to support the following grant programs:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Salem restaurant owner pleads guilty to three counts of tax evasion]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Salem, OR&mdash;The Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR) announced today that the Oregon Department of Justice has secured a guilty plea by a Salem restaurant owner on three counts of tax evasion, each a class C felony, on February 19, 2026 in the Marion County Circuit Court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While April 15 is well known across the country as &ldquo;Tax Day,&rdquo; the majority of taxpayers make their tax payments through withholding taken out of each paycheck throughout the year by their employer and paid to the IRS and DOR. This is how most Oregonians pay into our shared services. They trust that the money taken out of each paycheck goes towards funding public safety, public education, programs that care for Oregonians who need extra support, our beloved parks, and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The DOR works hard to ensure exactly that happens. So when a local businessowner, defendant Michael Richard Pfohl of Salem, Oregon, failed to file quarterly tax reports and&amp;nbsp; remit employee contributions, and refused to work with the DOR to pay down his delinquent debts, he was charged with 10 counts of tax evasion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The plea agreement includes a sentence of supervised probation for 48 months, 80 hours of community service, and a criminal fine of $6,000. The defendant also served three days of jail starting February 20, 2026, the day after the court judgment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The plea agreement indicates that the defendant, Michael Richard Pfohl, must cooperate with DOR to pay outstanding debt owed to the state,&rdquo; said Deborah Love-Wagner, DOR&rsquo;s acting Collection Division administrator. &ldquo;The plea deal lays out the defendant&rsquo;s multiple failures to pay taxes that support the state and the essential services supporting our residents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Bringing tax delinquency issues to the courts may be a necessary step for some taxpayers who do not take steps available to resolve their debt with our department. The Oregon Department of Justice&rsquo;s actions in partnership with DOR helped the state ensure our tax system works fairly when other pathways available to taxpayers are ignored. Businesses and workers can feel confident that our tax system is fair for everyone whose taxes pay for our roads, schools, housing, and community health.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition, the defendant was ordered to pay $90,232 in restitution as a condition for his plea agreement, representing all tax obligations included in the indictment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DOR works with taxpayers out of compliance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jail time for state tax evasion is not commonplace. That is because the DOR considers individuals and businesses to be in compliance with Oregon tax laws if they are making a good faith effort to work with the department to pay what they owe and have filed all tax reports or returns that are required by law.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The department regularly works with individuals or businesses to resolve tax issues and tax debt. Taxpayers out of compliance may have missing tax returns that are required to be filed or may have an outstanding balance that remains unpaid and do not have a department-approved payment plan in place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For each of the three guilty pleas for tax evasion, Mr. Pfohl failed to file quarterly tax reports. Mr. Pfohl admits in his plea to not filing tax reports, required by employers in remitting payroll taxes to Oregon, for the first quarter of 2021, the first quarter of 2022, and the first quarter of 2023.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DOR recognizes many taxpayers may have legitimate issues preventing them from fulfilling their tax obligations. DOR offers &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/Collections/Pages/payment-plan.aspx"&gt;payment plans&lt;/a&gt; up to 36 months. Visit&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap/_/"&gt;Revenue Online&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to set up a payment plan. Taxpayers who may be out of compliance should contact the DOR by phone at 503-378-4988 or 800-356-4222, or by email at &lt;a href="mailto:questions.dor@dor.oregon.gov"&gt;questions.dor@dor.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon&rsquo;s tax system relies on taxpayers voluntarily filing returns and paying what they owe. Compliance efforts, such as audits, filing enforcement, and collection activity are essential tools to ensure Oregon receives revenue the state counts on to fund services for Oregonians. DOR will take enforcement actions for non-compliance to ensure state tax laws are administered fairly for all Oregonians.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DOR &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/Protecting-your-identity.aspx"&gt;provides a tip line&lt;/a&gt; for the public to share suspected fraudulent activities. Those who suspect an employer is refusing to withhold taxes from a paycheck can report the issue as tax fraud to us&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap?Link=Fraud" target="_blank" title="https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap?link=fraud"&gt;online&lt;/a&gt; or by calling 503-945-8264. Tipsters can remain anonymous.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Black Pioneers&rsquo; exhibit runs April 1st through May 31st at the Moiser Twin Tunnels visitor center]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;HOOD RIVER, Oregon&mdash; Visitors to the visitor center at the Mosier Twin Tunnels within the &lt;a href="https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&amp;amp;parkId=113"&gt;Historic&amp;nbsp; Columbia River Highway State Trail&lt;/a&gt; can learn about Black Pioneers and early Black history in Oregon at an exhibit that runs through May.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon State Parks partnered with Oregon Black Pioneers to bring the traveling exhibit to the Moiser Twin Tunnels visitor center in the Columbia River Gorge. The visitor center is open Thursday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"We are excited to host the Oregon Black Pioneers exhibit at the Mosier Twin Tunnels Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead Visitor Center. These stories are an essential part of Oregon&rsquo;s history, and it is our responsibility to ensure they are visible, accessible, and honored. At Oregon State Parks&rsquo; Gorge Management Unit, we are committed to uplifting underserved voices and removing barriers that have historically limited access to these narratives,&rdquo; said Park Manager Jami LeAnne.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;By bringing this exhibit to a public space, we hope to create meaningful opportunities for all visitors to connect with, learn from, and reflect on the diverse experiences that have shaped this region."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The exhibit features eight interpretive panels that highlight just a few of the approximately 400 Black residents who came to Oregon from 1840 to 1870. What little is known came from newspaper articles and public records. Topics include the Oregon Trail, Black exclusion, slavery in Oregon, challenging the laws and land ownership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The traveling exhibit was created by Oregon Black Pioneers, an African American historical organization that has been preserving the history of Black Oregonians for more than 30 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;People of African descent are often left out of the stories of early Oregon," said Oregon Black Pioneers' Executive Director Zachary Stocks, "but this exhibit demonstrates the determination of the first Black men and women to call Oregon home."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People can also view the exhibit online at &lt;a href="https://oregonblackpioneers.org/exhibit/the-black-pioneers/"&gt;https://oregonblackpioneers.org/exhibit/the-black-pioneers/&lt;/a&gt; If you are interested in hosting this or other traveling exhibits or would like more information on other resources and services, please reach out to the Oregon Black Pioneers at their website &lt;a href="https://oregonblackpioneers.org/"&gt;https://oregonblackpioneers.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail comprises three disconnected paved paths along stretches of historic Highway 30, which predated I-84 as the only road connecting Portland and The Dalles. Together, the segments offer 12-plus miles of thrilling scenery and spectacular geologic formations. &lt;a href="https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&amp;amp;parkId=113"&gt;https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&amp;amp;parkId=113&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[ODF sends firefighters to North Carolina (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Ore.&mdash;Over the weekend, the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) deployed 21 firefighters and an agency representative to North Carolina under state-to-state mutual aid agreements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The state-to-state mutual aid agreements, along with other agreements like the Northwest Compact, are in place for fire management organizations to easily share resources with one another, creating a larger and more comprehensive fire management system.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;These agreements help bolster Oregon&rsquo;s complete and coordinated fire protection system and create a cache of reciprocal resources for all of us to call on when needed,&rdquo; said Ron Graham, Deputy Chief of Operations for ODF&rsquo;s Protection Division.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The firefighting crews arrived in Charlotte, NC last night and traveled to Ashville this morning for an in-brief from North Carolina fire leadership. Both crews will be integrated into fire operations today. The crews are comprised of firefighters from the Douglas Forest Protective Association, Coos Forest Protective Association and a variety of ODF Protection Districts including South Cascade, Western Lane and Southwest Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When wildfire activity is low in Oregon, firefighters can be spared to help in&amp;nbsp;places experiencing high levels of wildfire. This two-week rotation with our partners is our firefighters&rsquo; chance to enhance existing skills, learn new ones, and continue long-standing relationships.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Oregon has a strong relationship with North Carolina. They regularly send resources in our time of need, and we support them when we&rsquo;re able,&rdquo; said Graham. &ldquo;Their wildfire season is earlier in the calendar year than ours, making for an effective partnership of sharing resources.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Firefighting resources aren&rsquo;t shared without appropriate vetting. Before committing to any out-of-state deployment, ODF ensures Oregon&rsquo;s fire management system is still adequately staffed and ready to respond to fires here in Oregon. Serving Oregonians is our first and primary priority.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon can and has called on its out-of-state partners to send resources when wildfires&amp;nbsp;here exceeded our local and state response capacity, most recently in 2025 when ODF received firefighters and equipment from about 17 states, provinces and territories.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Community Trees honors SW Oregon non-profit as Organization of the Year (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;MEDFORD, Ore. &ndash; The Medford-based non-profit Oregon Stewardship has been named Organization of the Year by Oregon Community Trees (OCT). Each year Oregon Community Trees honors one organization in the state for outstanding work to engage Oregonians in caring for their urban forests and natural areas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year&rsquo;s recipient, Oregon Stewardship, works with school districts and teachers on watershed projects involving students in Jackson, Josephine, Curry, and Coos counties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Stewardship leads students on hands on projects near their schools. On these projects they can plant trees and gardens and create nature trails.&amp;nbsp; Students design and build the trails, create an informational brochure, and place sign along the trails. Projects that students create are maintained in following years by later students at the same school.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;High school students mentor younger students on nature hikes and field trips, helping them with art or writing classes associated with the projects. High school students that work with Oregon Stewardship are eligible for scholarships for college or vocational education.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Oregon Stewardship&rsquo;s focus is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Watersheds: river, stream and forest ecosystems&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The ecological cycles and functions that sustain these ecosystems&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Indicators of ecosystem health, such as salmon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An example of a recent project was the planting in 2024 by South Medford High School students of 180 native plants next to the Panther Pride Trail along fire-ravaged Bear Creek in Medford.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jim Gersbach, President of Oregon Community Trees, said his organization wanted to honor Oregon Stewardship for the work they do to encourage the community to provide stewardship for Oregon&rsquo;s land. &ldquo;They do a great job creating opportunities for students and adults to participate in grassroots care for our environment. At the same time, they are helping young people learn about and practice environmental restoration and gain leadership skills,&rdquo; said Gersbach.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; # # #&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;WCD, a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, is hosting the conference with the International Workers&rsquo; Compensation Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Friday, May 8, the conference&rsquo;s keynote is a session titled &ldquo;A Guide to Claim Filing,&rdquo; a collaboration by three members of WCD&rsquo;s Audit, Employer Compliance, and Sanctions and Medical Resolution units. Auditor Sara Kessler, Senior Field Investigator Sarah Jones, and Medical Reviewer Sophie Serlin will cover the claims process &ndash; from the moment a worker becomes injured to the employer&rsquo;s response and what medical providers must do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The conference, which includes breakfast, lunch, and exhibits, offers many workplace safety and health topics. They include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Case law updates from the Oregon Workers&rsquo; Compensation Board&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A session covering workers&rsquo; compensation basics&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;An overview of Oregon&rsquo;s nationally recognized return-to-work programs and the benefits to employers, insurers, and injured workers&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Oregon legislative update&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Progress report on the WCD Modernization Program&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Workplace recordkeeping and reporting&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Worksite modification&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&ldquo;Effective solutions to prevent workplace stress and burnout,&rdquo; presented by Oregon Health and Science University&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A deep dive into the first payment of temporary disability&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Oregon OSHA Consultation: Hazard identification and risk reduction&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conference attendees will have the unique opportunity to attend the Management-Labor Advisory Committee (MLAC) meeting at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, May 7, at the host hotel. This meeting is also open to the public. MLAC reviews issues in the workers&rsquo; compensation system and makes recommendations to the Oregon Legislature.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Immediately following the MLAC meeting at 5 p.m., conference attendees are invited to attend a special networking event, also at the Holiday Inn, where they can meet workers&rsquo; compensation professionals in the region. Light refreshments will be served.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media contact: &lt;/strong&gt;Jonathan Modie, &lt;a href="mailto:PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2 Salem health settings become latest measles exposure locations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Health officials urge people&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; who were at locations during exposure period to talk to a health care provider&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt;&mdash;Two new measles exposure locations have been identified, and Oregon Health Authority&amp;nbsp;(OHA)&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Marion&amp;nbsp;County public health officials&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;exposed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People might have been exposed if they were&amp;nbsp;at the following location&amp;nbsp;at this date and time:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem Health Hospital, emergency department waiting room, 890 Oak St. S.E., Salem, between 6:10 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday, March 16.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kaiser Permanente Skyline Medical Office, upper level (second floor), 5125 Skyline Road S., Salem, between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Friday March 13.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People who were at this location during these dates and time period should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about&amp;nbsp;measles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles can&amp;nbsp;be dangerous, especially among children&amp;nbsp;younger than 5,&amp;nbsp;adults&amp;nbsp;older than 20,&amp;nbsp;pregnant people, and&amp;nbsp;people with weakened immune systems.&amp;nbsp;In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;been fatal.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The measles vaccine is&amp;nbsp;highly effective&amp;nbsp;at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus.&amp;nbsp;The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is&amp;nbsp;very low.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do if you suspect measles in your household&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have a measles-like rash, or&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND&amp;nbsp;have any other symptom of measles (such as fever,&amp;nbsp;cough&amp;nbsp;or red eyes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever possible, individuals&amp;nbsp;planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Brain Injury Awareness Month is a call to share hotline]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;In recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month, Oregon Department of Human Services wants everyone to know about the brain injury hotline that helps people navigate resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This month shines a spotlight on the growing impact of brain injuries in Oregon and the increased demand for the hotline. Since launching in January 2025, the Brain Injury Program&rsquo;s tollfree phone line has supported more than 1,900 callers seeking help navigating the complex network of brain injury services and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Incoming call volume has climbed steadily over time&mdash;from about 15 calls in the earliest months to approximately 250 calls each month today&mdash;demonstrating the significant and increasing demand for guidance, information and support.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The steady increase in calls shows how vital this support is for Oregonians,&rdquo; said Nakeshia Knight-Coyle, PhD, who is director of the Office of Aging and People with Disabilities within the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS). &ldquo;By improving access to services and reducing the burden on families, this program is helping build a stronger, more connected system of care across our state.&rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Toc184028956"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="_Toc203988460"&gt;The phone line is available to anyone in Oregon affected by a brain injury as well as family members, caregivers and others needing information. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ODHS resource navigators are available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5&amp;nbsp;p.m.&amp;nbsp;and provide:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;One-on-one,&amp;nbsp;free&amp;nbsp;and confidential support.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Personalized referrals to resources specific to brain injury recovery and management.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Comprehensive resource information to help navigate available services and options.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Advocating on behalf of people with brain injuries and supporting them in self-advocacy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To date, program navigators spent a total of 3,900 hours on calls, and one to two hours per caller. Many people call back more than once.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The hours we spend with callers reflects the complexity and uniqueness of navigating brain injury resources,&rdquo; Knight-Coyle said. &ldquo;We spend as much time as each person needs to get connected to critical resources.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brain injuries are&amp;nbsp;occurring at more frequent rates in Oregon,&amp;nbsp;according to&amp;nbsp;data published on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://oregoninjurydata.shinyapps.io/TBISafety/" target="_blank"&gt;Oregon Traumatic Brain Injury Safety Dashboard&lt;/a&gt;. In 2023 alone,&amp;nbsp;there were 38,718 brain injuries that&amp;nbsp;required&amp;nbsp;hospital or emergency department intervention and 1,177&amp;nbsp;fatal&amp;nbsp;brain injuries&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon&rsquo;s Brain Injury Program is one of many along a continuum to meet the needs of&amp;nbsp;people with disabilities and older adults. It was developed&amp;nbsp;as a result of&amp;nbsp;Senate Bill 420 (2023).&amp;nbsp;Oregon's &lt;a href="https://cbirt.org/"&gt;Center on Brain Injury Research and Training&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(CBIRT) at the University of Oregon was among&amp;nbsp;many&amp;nbsp;organizations and&amp;nbsp;advocates&amp;nbsp;behind&amp;nbsp;the development&amp;nbsp;and adoption&amp;nbsp;of Senate Bill 420.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Consistent with our expectations, the ODHS Brain Injury Program is now an indispensable program for Oregon's brain injury survivors," said David Kracke, Oregon's Brain Injury Advocate Coordinator at CBIRT.&amp;nbsp; "The first 14 months of operation has demonstrated not only the incredible planning and implementation of the program by the ODHS team, but more importantly, the future promise that it holds for Oregon's brain injury survivors, their loved ones, and caregivers struggling to access necessary supports and services.&amp;nbsp; We are excited for the program's continued development as it serves many more Oregonians in the coming years.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;More information:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Brain Injury Program phone number: 1-833-685-0848 (toll-free).&amp;nbsp;Interpreting services are available at no cost for people who need help in a language other than English.&amp;nbsp;The Brain Injury Program accepts TTY calls by dialing 711.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Hours of operation: Monday &ndash; Friday, 8 a.m. &ndash; 5 p.m.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Haven&rsquo;t filed your taxes yet? Here&rsquo;s what you should know]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Salem, OR&mdash; Whether it&rsquo;s where to find free tax help, how to track the status of your refund, or what refundable tax credits you&rsquo;re eligible to claim, the Oregon Department of Revenue wants to make sure you have the information you need to file tax year 2025 tax returns before the April 15 deadline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through March 15, DOR has processed 937,000 electronically filed returns with more than half of the expected 2.2 million Oregon personal income tax returns yet to be filed. The department urges taxpayers not to wait until the last minute to file. If you have questions about filing you can find the information you need on the department&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/Pages/index.aspx"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; with guidance addressing the most common issues included below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;File electronically&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The best advice we can give taxpayers is to be certain their return is complete and accurate, and to file their return electronically,&rdquo; said Megan Denison, administrator of DOR&rsquo;s Personal Tax and Compliance Division. &ldquo;If they need help, free assistance is available at sites across the state, along with a variety of options to e-file for free.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On average, taxpayers who &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/electronic-filing.aspx"&gt;file electronically&lt;/a&gt; and request their refund via direct deposit receive their refund within two weeks. Distribution of refunds for e-filed returns began in mid-February. Due to the late receipt of tax form information from the IRS in late 2025, processing of paper-filed returns has been delayed until late March and refunds for paper filed returns will not start being issued until early April.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers looking for the status of their refund for e-filed returns can use DOR&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/Where-is-my-refund.aspx"&gt;Where&rsquo;s My Refund? tool&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mailing your return? Mail it early&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers who choose to file a paper return, should mail it early. The federal and state tax deadline is April 15, but due to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flinks-1.govdelivery.com%2FCL0%2Fhttps%3A%252F%252Fabout.usps.com%252Fnewsroom%252Fusps-operational-improvements-08-21-2024.pdf%2F1%2F0100019a3135c086-5733a07b-356f-44d6-9157-70727e64f5c3-000000%2FraRniLIMft32bU8r61aHH8iK_eK_GGCLffyQKMf57nA%3D429&amp;amp;data=05%7C02%7Cemma.snodgrass%40sos.oregon.gov%7Cd0d3060acaca41208f3e08de17183bcd%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638973590180555083%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;amp;sdata=jl7yMesEaHDkGFhm6GUijc50nzSTZwKwmRhbTCiEjlI%3D&amp;amp;reserved=0" target="_blank"&gt;changes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at the U.S. Postal Service, returns mailed in after April 9 may not receive a postmark on time.&amp;nbsp;Taxpayers who still want to mail their paper returns can take them to a local USPS office and request a postmark no later than April 15, 2026.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Paper returns can also be physically deposited in drop boxes available on both the east and west sides of the Department of Revenue Building in Salem, or outside the DOR offices in Portland, Eugene, Medford, and Bend. A drop box at DOR&rsquo;s Gresham office is available during business hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claim your &ldquo;kicker&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon surplus revenue &lt;a href="https://apps.oregon.gov/oregon-newsroom/OR/DOR/Posts/Post/Fact-Sheet-Oregons-Surplus-Revenue-Kicker-Credit"&gt;kicker is a refundable credit&lt;/a&gt; that will either increase a taxpayer's Oregon state income tax refund or decrease the amount of state taxes they owe. It is not sent to taxpayers separately as a check.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Only taxpayers who filed a tax year 2024 return and also file a tax year 2025 return can receive a kicker. The credit is a percentage of Oregon personal income tax liability for the 2024 tax year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers can determine the amount of their kicker using a &lt;a href="https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap/_/?Link=WMK"&gt;&ldquo;What&rsquo;s My Kicker? calculator&lt;/a&gt; available on Revenue Online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Free electronic filing options are available&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/direct_file_OR.aspx"&gt;Direct File Oregon&lt;/a&gt;: Taxpayers can use Free Fillable Forms to file their federal return and then use Direct File Oregon to file their Oregon personal income tax return directly with the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/get-free-tax-help.aspx"&gt;Other free electronic filing options&lt;/a&gt;: Free guided tax preparation is available for taxpayers that meet income requirements.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check your eligibility and claim your refundable tax credits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers should check their eligibility for a series of refundable tax credits for low-income workers and families. A refundable credit not only reduces the amount of tax a taxpayer owes, any leftover credit results in a cash refund that can be deposited directly into their bank account.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit-eitc"&gt;Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC):&lt;/a&gt; The EITC is a fully refundable federal tax credit for people making up to $68,675 in 2025. Families may be eligible for a maximum refundable credit of $8,046 on their federal tax return.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/credits.aspx"&gt;Oregon Earned Income Credit:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;This refundable state tax credit is a percentage of an eligible taxpayer&rsquo;s federal EITC. The maximum benefit for tax year 2025 is $966. The Oregon EIC is also available to taxpayers who have Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITIN) rather than Social Security numbers.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/credits.aspx"&gt;Oregon Kids Credit&lt;/a&gt;: This is a refundable state credit for low-income people with young dependent children. For those with a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $26,550 or less, the full credit is $1,050 per child for up to five dependent children under the age of six at the end of the tax year. A partial credit is available for individuals and families with an MAGI up to $31,550.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/working-family-credit.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Working Family Household and Dependent Care Credit (WFHDC)&lt;/a&gt;: Families who are eligible for the Oregon Kids Credit are also likely eligible for the refundable&amp;nbsp;WFHDC, which helps low- to moderate-income families pay for the care of their dependents while they're working, looking for work, or attending school.&lt;/li&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon insurance commissioner to participate in Tele Town Hall with AARP on fighting fraud (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Salem &ndash; Oregon Insurance Commissioner TK Keen will take part in an AARP-sponsored Tele Town Hall on Thursday, March 19, at 11 a.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation has partnered with AARP the past several years on Scam Jam events throughout the state to inform consumers on the most common scams taking place in Oregon and nationwide. This year, the focus is on Fraud Fighter events and several such events are planned throughout Oregon. The Tele Town Hall is a different format, however, as people can attend from anywhere by calling 855-408-1333 (toll-free).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This comes on the heels of National Consumer Protection Week earlier this month, as well as numerous educational outreach events and press releases DFR has done on everything from romance scams to health insurance-related scams&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We hear about people every day who are hit by scammers and have hard-earned money taken from them,&rdquo; said Keen, who is also DFR&rsquo;s administrator. &ldquo;We want to continue to get the word out, to get in front of as many people as possible about all the ways scammers are trying to reach people.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Oregonians lost more than $133 million to fraud in 2025. Along with this Tele Town Hall, DFR and AARP are coordinating several in-person Fraud Fighter events in April on the following dates:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://events.aarp.org/event/LaneFraudFighter2026/summary"&gt;April 11&lt;/a&gt; in Springfield at the Riverbend Hospital&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://events.aarp.org/event/SOFraudFighter2026/summary"&gt;April 17&lt;/a&gt; in Medford at Rogue Community College&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://events.aarp.org/event/PDXFraudFighter2026/summary"&gt;April 28&lt;/a&gt; in Portland at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each of those events will begin at 8:30 a.m. with check-in, followed by a 9 a.m. to noon town hall with presentations, question and answer time, and panel discussions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you ever believe you are or have been a victim of fraud, you can call one of DFR&rsquo;s consumer advocates at 888-877-4894 (toll-free) or email &lt;a href="mailto:dfr.financialeserviceshelp@dcbs.oregon.gov"&gt;dfr.financialeserviceshelp@dcbs.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[WIC boosts shopping budgets for Oregon families, increases access to healthy foods statewide]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;March 17, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media contact&lt;/strong&gt;: Jonathan Modie, &lt;a href="mailto:PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov"&gt;PHD.Communications@oha.oregon.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WIC boosts shopping budgets for Oregon families, increases access to healthy foods statewide&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Annual report highlights expanded food options, newly opened clinics and the impact of WIC dollars in local communities&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;March is National Nutrition Month. One of Oregon&rsquo;s largest nutrition programs, Oregon Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), is marking the occasion by sharing its &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HEALTHYPEOPLEFAMILIES/WIC/Documents/legislative/2025-Annual-Report.pdf"&gt;2025 annual report.&lt;/a&gt; It highlights the program&rsquo;s role in building healthy families and strong communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key information in the report includes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;In 2025, nearly $68 million in WIC benefits were spent at 483 authorized grocery stores and pharmacies across the state, an increase of almost 5% from 2024, when close to $65 million in WIC funds were distributed in Oregon. WIC-authorized stores must stock a minimum amount of specific healthy foods, improving access to nutritious options for the entire community. Oregon WIC also sets nutrition standards for food items sold statewide.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The new WIC food package reflects the latest nutrition science and aligns with dietary patterns recognized globally. The changes bring increased variety, flexibility and choice, allowing families to honor cultural traditions and access healthy food options, including gluten-free, vegan, and allergen-free foods.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;WIC increases health access in rural communities. Nearly 37% of pregnant women in Oregon&rsquo;s rural and remote areas participate in the program, and WIC has improved access by opening clinics in Gilliam County, Wallowa County and Grand Ronde, bringing services closer to home for more families.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The report comes at a time when some Oregon families are struggling to make ends meet with rising food costs. The 2026 &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/treasury/Financially-Fit-Oregon/Documents/Annual-reports/2026-Financial-Wellness-Scorecard.pdf"&gt;Oregon Financial Score Card&lt;/a&gt; shows that three quarters of Oregon households have cut down on spending due to higher housing and food costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WIC plays a vital role in providing nutritious foods that support healthy pregnancies and the growth and development of babies and young children. The program helps families maintain their buying power because the WIC food packages supply a set amount of healthy foods each month, offering stability when grocery prices are high.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;WIC dollars go directly into Oregon communities. Families use their WIC benefits at grocery stores, pharmacies, farmers markets and farm stands, supporting local jobs, retailers, and farmers while providing nutritious foods,&rdquo; said Oregon WIC Director Tiare Sanna, M.S., RDN.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Farm Direct Nutrition Program is just one of the innovative programs highlighted in this year&rsquo;s report, published March 1. The state-administered federal nutrition program allows participants to purchase fresh, locally grown fruit, vegetables and herbs directly from farmers at farmers markets and farm stands. In 2025, 40,600 WIC participants and 53,000 low-income seniors used benefits to buy produce through the WIC and Senior Farm Direct programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;It brightens my day when WIC participants shop at my farmers market booth with their Farm Direct dollars,&rdquo; said Nicki Passarella of Storybrook Farm in Sandy. &ldquo;Seeing a child&rsquo;s eyes light up when they get to choose a vegetable is so heartwarming and encouraging. The impact of WIC Farm Direct is invaluable to me, to my farm business, and to Oregon's farming community.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WIC&rsquo;s modern approaches to nutrition education and breastfeeding support are making a difference for families. Marion County resident Diane Smith shared how WIC supported her breastfeeding journey and her children&rsquo;s nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The information I have gotten from WIC has tremendously helped me. It&rsquo;s amazing, and I recommend it to anybody&mdash;young moms and families that need assistance with nutrition or anything,&rdquo; Smith said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m so proud of myself for being able to breastfeed through my last two pregnancies because of the WIC program and nutrition program. It&rsquo;s made me a stronger mom and my kids stronger, and I&rsquo;m all around a better person because of it.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hear Smith discuss how WIC has helped her family in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egYBgXH2Hks"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;this video&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About WIC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last year, Oregon WIC served 119,464 participants across 36 counties, including 86,461 infants and children received nutrition support that helps boost early learning and kindergarten readiness. WIC serves income-eligible pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding individuals, and infants and kids under age 5. WIC also provides families with nutrition education, breastfeeding support, health screenings, wholesome foods, and connections to community resources.

				<headline><![CDATA[More than 2 million seedlings planted this season in Oregon&rsquo;s state forests (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Salem, Ore.&mdash;A mild winter with spring-like weather has helped the Oregon Department of Forestry&rsquo;s (ODF) replanting of state forest timber harvest areas stay ahead of schedule this year with approximately two million seedlings already in the ground.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This has been a great planting season with no shutdowns due to weather,&rdquo; said John Walter, ODF&rsquo;s State Forests Silviculturist.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;All our districts are done or will be this month.&amp;nbsp; The only exception being Klamath Lake&mdash;they typically plant into May and have about 60,000 to get in.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Like most Western Oregon&rsquo;s forests, Douglas Fir is the dominant species, but ODF tries to add diversity to its reforestation plan to promote resilience and provide additional types of timber products.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This year we planted about 74 percent Doug(las) Fir, 17 percent Hemlock, two percent each of Western Red Cedar and Noble Fir, one percent each of Grand Fir and Sitka Spruce with the remaining three percent Pondarosa Pine,&rdquo; said Walter.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;Later, hardwoods naturally seed in with mainly alder and bigleaf maple.&amp;nbsp; So, we end up with a species mix that is fairly typical western Oregon forests.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The seedlings are grown by nine contracted northwest nurseries and this year they supplied ODF with 2.3 million of them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The successful bidders that purchase timber sales, have three years to complete harvest so it makes it a little tricky on the planning side to project a year in advance how many seedlings we need each year,&rdquo; said Walter.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;However, we never want to run short so we typically order a little more than what we will plant in state forests.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year ODF has nearly 300,000 of those &ldquo;extra&rdquo; seedlings, all of which are destined for Oregon&rsquo;s forests&mdash;just not state forests.&amp;nbsp; ODF typically sells, or sometimes donates, seedlings to watershed groups, other non-profits, and Oregon tribes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All those 2.3 million seedlings that were grown in controlled environments at the nurseries are then shipped to ODF and held in large coolers until planting season.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The planting is done mostly by private contractors working for ODF.&amp;nbsp; Some planting and replanting the next year, mainly in the Tillamook State Forest, is also done by Adults In Custody from the South Fork Forest Camp, a facility jointly run by the Department of Corrections and ODF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This is not easy work,&rdquo; said Bill Sayers, Reforestation Forester for ODF&rsquo;s Forest Grove District who along with two of his coworkers were monitoring contractors working in Tillamook State Forest. &ldquo;The terrain can be steep and slippery especially with a pack of 200 or so trees on your back and a shovel in your hand.&amp;nbsp; Also, the contracts emphasize both speed and efficiency.&amp;nbsp; They have to plant fast and plant correctly to get the maximum pay out specified in the contract.&amp;nbsp; Most of these guys do amazing work.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To determine if the work is done correctly ODF staff measures out a 1/100&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an acre circle and counts the number of seedlings planted in the circle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;To get to our goal of usually 400 trees per acre there needs to be four seedlings in that circle,&rdquo; said Sayers.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;If there are too few or too many, we alert the foreman and they correct the issue right there.&amp;nbsp; We then dig up the seedings in the circle to make sure they are planted correctly. If they are too deep or too shallow or the roots are bent over, we call those planting errors.&amp;nbsp; We identify those issues and again get it corrected in real time.&amp;nbsp; And yes, we replant the ones we checked ourselves.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once in the ground correctly and at the right time, the number one determining factor for their survival is whether they get the right amount of moisture at the right time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Obviously weather is the top determining factor&mdash;if it is an unusually dry spring and hot dry summer mortality goes up,&rdquo; said Walter.&amp;nbsp; &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t do anything about the weather.&amp;nbsp; The second major factor is competing vegetation.&amp;nbsp; Even if it is a &ldquo;normal&rdquo; participation year, seedlings can struggle if other plants are sucking up all the moisture.&amp;nbsp; We evaluate each unit individually and then where deemed necessary use herbicide to limit that competing vegetation to increase the survival rate.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other factors impacting seedlings survival are deer and elk browse, root damage (mainly from mountain beavers that live underground), insects, tree diseases and wildfire.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;However, these stressors are usually limited to certain units and not as much of a threat when compared to the overall impact lack of water or drought region wide,&rdquo; said Walter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking to the future, ODF has several cooperative agreements and is a partner in research projects in Oregon and the Northwest to improve the genetics to increase the survivability of future trees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s difficult and a long-term effort to improve our trees,&rdquo; said Walter. &ldquo;Ideally, we want disease resistance, climate adaptation and growth all in the same tree.&amp;nbsp; Realistically it is hard to get one of those traits without dropping one or two of the others.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, ODF continues to manage state forests to yield a sustainable balance of economic, environmental and social benefits over time and for all Oregonians.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WorkSource Oregon Invites Job Seekers to Job Fair for Autistic Community Activity Program&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OREGON CITY, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ndash; WorkSource Oregon invites job seekers to a job fair with the Autistic Community Activity Program (ACAP) on Wednesday, March 18,10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the WorkSource center in Oregon City. This is an opportunity to learn about summer jobs in the Portland-Metro area to help people with autism build lasting life skills. ACAP staff will be on site to share more information and conduct interviews for one-on-one assistants with their summer program. There is no cost to attend, and participants are encouraged to bring their resumes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Are you looking for the most fun you&rsquo;ve ever had in a summer job? Come work with ACAP in an active and engaging environment where you get to meet new people and make friends,&rdquo; said Brooke Pyper, chief operating officer at ACAP. &ldquo;This allows you to serve the community, explore Portland, and help autistic individuals build lasting life skills. You will work in groups, travel around the city, enjoy the sun, and engage with clients to ensure their goals are met.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Assistants will earn $18 to $23 per hour during ACAP&rsquo;s 2026 summer season, which runs from June through August. Internships and work-study hours are also available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;WorkSource Oregon is excited to support job seekers as they explore a wide range of employment opportunities &mdash; from seasonal positions to roles that make a meaningful impact in their communities,&rdquo; said Jim Pfarrer, director of Workforce Operations with the Oregon Employment Department. &ldquo;The ACAP Job Fair is a great example of that commitment, and an opportunity for job seekers to make a strong impression. They should come ready to talk about their strengths and experience. Our staff will be on hand to help applicants prepare for their interview.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

               &lt;ul&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;Alcohol is the third leading cause of preventable death in Oregon.&lt;/li&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;Plan a safe ride home before drinking: a designated driver, rideshare or public transit.&lt;/li&gt;
                    &lt;li&gt;Alcohol misuse is linked to injuries, emergency department visits, chronic&amp;nbsp;disease&amp;nbsp;and impaired driving crashes.&lt;/li&gt;
               &lt;/ul&gt;
               &lt;/div&gt;
               &lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;/tr&gt;
     &lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;As&amp;nbsp;people in Oregon&amp;nbsp;prepare for&amp;nbsp;spring&amp;nbsp;break travel and St. Patrick's Day&amp;nbsp;celebrations, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is&amp;nbsp;offering a few&amp;nbsp;tips&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;making&amp;nbsp;safe&amp;nbsp;and healthy&amp;nbsp;choices when it comes to alcohol&amp;nbsp;use&amp;nbsp;and transportation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcohol-impaired driving continues to be a serious safety concern in Oregon. In 2023, 200 people died in crashes involving a drunk driver in the state - about 34 percent of all traffic fatalities.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Alcohol-related crashes are preventable tragedies,&rdquo; said&amp;nbsp;Tom Jeanne, M.D., M.P.H.,&amp;nbsp;deputy&amp;nbsp;state&amp;nbsp;health&amp;nbsp;officer&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;deputy&amp;nbsp;epidemiologist at OHA&rsquo;s Public Health Division. &ldquo;Celebrations like&amp;nbsp;spring&amp;nbsp;break and St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day can be&amp;nbsp;fun, but it&rsquo;s important to plan ahead for a safe ride home and to look out for friends and family.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Before you celebrate&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OHA encourages people to take&amp;nbsp;these&amp;nbsp;simple steps to reduce risks:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Plan a safe ride home before drinking&mdash;use a designated driver, rideshare, taxi or public transit.&amp;nbsp;In Portland, the&amp;nbsp;Bureau of Transportation&amp;nbsp;is once again offering&amp;nbsp;discounts&amp;nbsp;on taxi, Lyft and Uber rides in the days leading up to St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day (Tuesday, March 17) as part of its&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.portland.gov/transportation/news/2026/3/11/news-release-celebrate-st-patricks-day-responsibly-pbots-safe-ride" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Safe Ride Home Program&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Never drive impaired and never ride with someone who has been drinking.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Keep track of how much you drink and pace yourself.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Look out for friends and family members and make sure everyone has a safe way to get home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Alcohol&rsquo;s health impacts&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;State and national data show:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;About 16% of Oregon adults report binge or heavy drinking, consuming four or more drinks on one occasion for women or five or more for men.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Alcohol is the third leading cause of preventable death in Oregon, contributing to thousands of deaths statewide each year.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Alcohol misuse is linked to injuries, emergency department visits, chronic&amp;nbsp;disease&amp;nbsp;and impaired driving crashes across the state.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Rethink the Drink&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Through &ldquo;&lt;a href="https://www.rethinkthedrink.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Rethink the Drink&lt;/a&gt;,&rdquo; OHA encourages people in Oregon to better understand how alcohol affects their health and safety, especially during times of increased social gatherings and travel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcohol use is associated with a wide range of health risks, including injuries, liver disease, heart&amp;nbsp;disease&amp;nbsp;and several types of cancer. Public health experts say even modest reductions in drinking can lead to better health outcomes and safer communities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Small choices,&amp;nbsp;like drinking less, planning transportation ahead of time or choosing alcohol-free activities,&amp;nbsp;can make a big difference,&rdquo; Jeanne said. &ldquo;Our goal is for everyone celebrating to get home safely.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Outdoor Recreation Committee meets April 3 to evaluate grant applications]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Oregon&mdash; The Oregon Outdoor Recreation Committee (OORC) will meet April 3 to rank and establish a priority list of Land and Water Conservation Fund grant proposals from around the state for projects to develop and rehabilitate public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) administers this federally funded grant program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The meeting is open to the public but there will not be time for public comments during the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The meeting will be held online via Zoom. View the agenda for a list of project proposals and meeting information: &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/gra/pages/gra-lwcf.aspx"&gt;https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/gra/pages/gra-lwcf.aspx&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recommendations from the OORC will be submitted to the Oregon State Parks Commission for review and approval at their April 22 meeting. OPRD will then forward approved project proposals to the National Park Service for final approval.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The OORC is made up of nine members who represent a variety of interests and are appointed by the OPRD Director.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Land and Water Conservation Fund Program is a financial assistance program of the National Park Service. LWCF grants provide matching funds to state and local governments for acquiring and developing public outdoor recreation areas and facilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Child Welfare shares progress on key performance measures]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) published its &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/child-welfare-transformation/progressreports/cw-progress-report-2026-02.pdf"&gt;fourth&amp;nbsp;quarter report&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;with key data points and information showing progress and work under way to improve the child welfare system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The report covers many aspects of the child welfare system, which includes the child abuse hotline, child abuse and family needs assessments, resource (foster) care and supporting families&rsquo; safety so children in resource care can return home. It also includes programs and services to prevent child abuse.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Keeping children safe is our core mission,&rdquo; said Rolanda Garcia, interim Child Welfare director. &ldquo;We are committed to making steady progress to improve outcomes for children and families.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Highlights from the report include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Faster child safety assessments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;What it is and why it matters&lt;br /&gt;
     When ODHS receives a report of suspected child abuse and neglect, a team investigates the situation and assesses the child&rsquo;s and family&rsquo;s needs. When cases are assessed within a 60-day window, families receive information about next steps to create safety plans or a determination about temporarily moving children to a relative or resource family for safety. Overdue assessments can cause additional family stress and uncertainty and increase risks to child safety.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Report metrics&lt;br /&gt;
     The monthly proportion of safety assessments completed within 60 days steadily increased throughout 2025, rising from 38.2% in January to 50.5% in December. This improvement was accomplished through a series of initiatives including requiring every Child Welfare district office to develop a data-driven plan for improving completion timelines on investigations. Improving assessment timeliness is also part of the ODHS &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/agency/pages/cw-safety-initiatives.aspx"&gt;Safety Action Plan&lt;/a&gt; initiated in 2025.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reducing use of temporary lodging&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;What it is and why it matters&lt;br /&gt;
     Temporary lodging provides supervised hotel lodging for youth awaiting higher levels of residential care. ODHS has been working aggressively to reduce the use of temporary lodging by working with behavioral health partners and providers to increase capacity and meet the complex needs of this small segment of children and young adults in care.&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Report metrics&lt;br /&gt;
     The average number of children provided with temporary lodging nightly as they wait for a safe and appropriate placement declined to 8.33 in 2025, down from 10.86 the previous year. This measure has shown improvement since 2023 as Child Welfare identified children at risk of experiencing temporary lodging and developed child-specific plans to prevent that possibility. The total has been declining over time, with fewer children experiencing temporary lodging, and shorter stays overall. The total number of unique children who experienced temporary lodging in 2025 was 100, compared with 122 in 2023. In 2025, ODHS also opened four new programs with capacity to serve youth with specialized needs. Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTF) and programs added 20 beds, and Behavior Rehabilitation Services (BRS)/Qualified Residential Treatment Programs (QRTP) added 14 beds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.25in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Placement of children with relatives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;What it is and why it matters&lt;br /&gt;
     Children placed with relatives do better in terms of mental and physical health, as well as long-term outcomes. Placing children with relatives helps maintain family, community and cultural connections and reduces trauma.&lt;br /&gt;
     &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Report metrics&lt;br /&gt;
     The monthly proportion of children placed with relatives when they first entered foster care steadily increased during 2025, rising from 24.6% in January to 44.4% in December. Child Welfare implemented the Relative Pathway certification process statewide in August 2025. The Relative Pathway streamlines the foster care certification process for relatives. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The report will be published on a quarterly basis to highlight progress on core initiatives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We are committed to transparency and accountability about our successes and challenges, and the plans we have in place to make things better,&rdquo; said Liesl Wendt, ODHS Director. &ldquo;We are making important progress in the way we serve children and families, and we have more work to do.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[New Tillamook State Forest campground to give off highway vehicle users a better overnight experience (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Tillamook State Forest, Ore.&mdash;Oregon Department of Forestry recreation staff are working hard to transform the Diamond Mill off highway vehicle (OHV) staging area into the Tillamook State Forest&rsquo;s newest campground. The campground is set to open April 1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Diamond Mill is in the heart of some of the most active OHV usage areas in the Tillamook State Forest,&rdquo; said Ben Burns, ODF&rsquo;s Recreation Facilities Manager. &ldquo;Historically, Diamond Mill has been a staging and parking area for mostly single track (motorcycle) trail users. Now we are revamping it into a full-fledged campground.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The campground will have 16 sites and the option for a camp host site. There are new picnic tables, fire grates, site posts and signage, along with an existing double-vault pit toilet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We brought in boulders, soil, gravel, vegetation and contoured the area to make the sites feel more private and give campers a better overnight experience,&rdquo; said Burns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;It was a bit of free-for- all with parking before,&rdquo; said Burns. &ldquo;This will improve traffic flow and safety in the campground.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before, the use fee was $5 per car per night, now the improved sites are $20 a night like other ODF state forests campgrounds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;For this first year the campground ground will remain a first come first served area. Then, we will consider user feedback and might go to a reservation system in 2027,&rdquo; Burns said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Burns and his staff are ready to see their hard work pay off after a typically challenging Oregon winter of wet, windy and cold weather.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;ODF staff and South Fork Forest Camp crews have been working really hard in sometimes difficult weather to transform the area, and we are excited to have it ready for the April 1 opening,&rdquo; said Burns. &ldquo;This is just a great area in the heart of the Tillamook with miles of trails to explore and the campground is family friendly; we even have a kids&rsquo; track right beside the campground.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Trained Oregon State Park volunteers and park rangers will be stationed at 15 sites along the Oregon Coast to help visitors spot whales and their calves and answer questions from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily March 21-29. The sites are among the best places to watch whales on the Oregon Coast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Spring is a great time for whale watching because the gray whale migration can be a bit closer on their return trip north, usually within a few miles from shore.&amp;nbsp; As we get later into the spring, we can sometimes see the mothers with calves in tow,&rdquo; said Park Ranger Peter McBride.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates 13,000 gray whales are expected to migrate past Oregon&rsquo;s shores from late winter through June as they travel back toward Alaska, far fewer than earlier projections suggested. Although NOAA declared the &lt;a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/marine-life-distress/2019-2023-eastern-north-pacific-gray-whale-ume-closed"&gt;Unusual Mortality Event&lt;/a&gt; over in 2023 and initially believed the population might be rebounding, &lt;a href="https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/eastern-north-pacific-gray-whales-continue-decline-after-downturn-during-unusual"&gt;new winter 2025 estimates&lt;/a&gt; instead show the lowest numbers since the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NOAA&rsquo;s models, which combine visual surveys with migration pattern assumptions, indicate that the 2025 population most likely falls between 11,700 and 14,500 whales.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A map of volunteer-staffed sites is available online on the official event webpage: &lt;a href="https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=thingstodo.dsp_whaleWatching"&gt;https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=thingstodo.dsp_whaleWatching&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 21-29. Visitors to the center can enjoy interactive whale exhibits and take in the panoramic ocean views. Binoculars are provided. Park rangers and volunteers from Oregon State Parks will also be on hand to answer questions about the whales.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All Whale Watch Week visitors are encouraged to dress for the weather, to bring binoculars and to follow beach safety guidelines such as remaining out of fenced areas, knowing the tide schedule and keeping an eye on the surf at all times. Go to &lt;a href="https://visittheoregoncoast.com/beach-safety/"&gt;https://visittheoregoncoast.com/beach-safety/&lt;/a&gt; for a list of safety tips.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WinCo store is latest measles exposure location, health officials say&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;People who were at Gresham store during exposure period urged to talk to a health care provider&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt;&mdash;Another measles exposure location has been identified, and Oregon Health Authority&amp;nbsp;(OHA)&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Multnomah&amp;nbsp;County public health officials&amp;nbsp;are&amp;nbsp;urging people who&amp;nbsp;believe they&amp;nbsp;were&amp;nbsp;exposed to talk to a health care provider about their risks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People might have been exposed if they were&amp;nbsp;at the following location&amp;nbsp;at this date and time:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WinCo Foods, 2511 SE 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; St., Gresham, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, March 7.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People who were at this location during these dates and time period should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Facts about&amp;nbsp;measles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Measles can&amp;nbsp;be dangerous, especially among children&amp;nbsp;younger than 5,&amp;nbsp;adults&amp;nbsp;older than 20,&amp;nbsp;pregnant people, and&amp;nbsp;people with weakened immune systems.&amp;nbsp;In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;been fatal.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The measles vaccine is&amp;nbsp;highly effective&amp;nbsp;at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus.&amp;nbsp;The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is&amp;nbsp;very low.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to do if you suspect measles in your household&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have a measles-like rash, or&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND&amp;nbsp;have any other symptom of measles (such as fever,&amp;nbsp;cough&amp;nbsp;or red eyes).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever possible, individuals&amp;nbsp;planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New State Health Improvement Plan a &lsquo;roadmap&rsquo; for health&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;SHIP describes how public health system will address four priorities&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore.&mdash;Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has launched its five-year State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) with a focus on priorities to help the state&rsquo;s public health system better respond to rapid changes in social conditions and health needs throughout a person&rsquo;s lifespan.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le-1194924a_25.pdf"&gt;2025-2029 SHIP&lt;/a&gt;, published March 10, reflects the core priorities of Oregon&rsquo;s public health system and aligns with OHA&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le-609702.pdf"&gt;2024-2027 Strategic Plan&lt;/a&gt;. It also moves the agency closer to its 2030 goal of eliminating health inequities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A steering committee of partners and community members&mdash;working closely with community groups, local public health authorities, Tribal representatives, coordinated care organizations and OHA&rsquo;s Public Health Division staff&mdash;recommended four priorities for the SHIP:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Healthy environments&lt;/strong&gt;, created by identifying and responding to environmental exposures such as lead; reducing the health impacts of extreme heat and wildfire smoke; reducing toxins in homes; and ensuring access to clean air and drinking water.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Individual, family and community well-being&lt;/strong&gt;, through primary prevention activities that promote physical, mental and behavioral health by preventing overdoses, sexual violence, community violence and deaths by suicide; supporting children, youth and families; and reducing use of alcohol, commercial tobacco and other drugs.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Health promotion and disease prevention&lt;/strong&gt;, by encouraging healthy behaviors, making health-promoting choices readily available, and changing policies and systems that can impede health, including vaccinations; treating diseases such as hepatitis C, tuberculosis and HIV; responding to disease outbreaks; and supporting behavior change for health.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Emergency preparedness and response&lt;/strong&gt;, to protect public health when emergencies occur, by working with partners to develop regional preparedness plans; responding to health threats; and providing regional and state support for health care, Tribes in Oregon and local public health authorities for tracking diseases and providing health services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The State Health Improvement Plan provides a roadmap for maintaining and improving the health of all people&mdash;of all ages, in all places&mdash;in Oregon,&rdquo; said OHA Public Health Division Director Naomi Adeline-Biggs. &ldquo;The SHIP is our compass, guiding us through the complexities of the future while keeping us focused on our goal: a healthier, more connected Oregon.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to establishing health priorities, the SHIP describes the work of the state&rsquo;s public health system to address each priority. The priorities focus on areas for health improvement identified in the &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/ABOUT/Pages/HealthStatusIndicators.aspx"&gt;2025 State Health Assessment&lt;/a&gt;, or SHA. The Oregon Public Health Division leads the SHA and SHIP efforts within OHA, developing the plan and working with partners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Together with the SHA, the SHIP is required for public health accreditation through the national &lt;a href="https://phaboard.org/"&gt;Public Health Accreditation Board&lt;/a&gt;, but it goes beyond compliance. The SHIP&rsquo;s objective is to be a community-developed driver of health improvement across the state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A key to achieving that objective is the SHIP&rsquo;s emphasis on sustained partnerships and mutual engagement within the governmental public health system that includes the Oregon Public Health Division, local public health authorities, Tribal governments, community-based partners and the state&rsquo;s health care system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;One thing I took away from this whole process is the opportunity to advocate and speak for communities that often are not at the table,&rdquo; said SHIP steering committee member Sokho Eath, director of the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization&rsquo;s Pacific Islander and Asian Family Center. The process for developing the SHIP involved extensive community involvement and input and creating a plan for &ldquo;how to improve understanding of, and community connection to, what the state is trying to accomplish,&rdquo; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Public Health Division will use the SHIP to align resources across initiatives, including OHA&rsquo;s 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, which sets an intention in OHA&rsquo;s work, systems and policies to move toward this vision. Each priority includes strategies that address people&rsquo;s different access to community resources and changing health needs. To demonstrate alignment across existing plans, many strategies include links to state strategic plan documents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, for the &ldquo;healthy environments&rdquo; priority, which has six strategies, OHA plans to coordinate trainings or meetings for local public health authority case managers to increase case investigation capacity for children with elevated blood lead levels. OHA also will provide data and information about health risks from climate hazards to local partners so they can prepare and carry out action plans to lessen these impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 22 strategies under the SHIP&rsquo;s &ldquo;individual, family and community well-being&rdquo; priority include promoting safe, healthy relationships among youth to prevent sexual violence. Another is supporting &ldquo;age-friendly&rdquo; communities where clean air, nutritious food, daily activity and social connections are easily accessible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk223970723"&gt;For gerontologist and SHIP steering committee member Julia Brown, helping develop the plan&rsquo;s &ldquo;individual, family and community well-being&rdquo; priority was a passion project. A community outreach and engagement manager for AGE+&mdash;the nonprofit advocates for the well-being of older adults in rural, low-income and underserved communities&mdash;Brown wanted to ensure the plan represented a truly universal, &ldquo;all people, all ages, all places&rdquo; approach to improving health. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;It was important that this plan was as inclusive and equitable for our population as possible,&rdquo; Brown said. &ldquo;That could include a person with a disability living alone&mdash;maybe they're middle-aged or older, and don&rsquo;t have family nearby. Or people in rural regions who are far away from the I-5 corridor, who struggle to see themselves as represented in state organizations and state policies.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are 31 strategies under the &ldquo;health promotion and disease prevention&rdquo; priority, such as promoting routine dental care by increasing public and provider education, preventive treatment and collaboration with providers; and reducing youth nicotine use by making it easier for everyone to avoid tobacco and limiting how much young people see tobacco advertisements and products in stores.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under the &ldquo;emergency preparedness&rdquo; priority, there are five strategies, including maintaining the state&rsquo;s surveillance system that tracks emergency room and urgent care visits to spot and respond to health threats such as bad air quality, disease outbreaks and natural disasters. The priority also has a strategy to support the Oregon Medical Coordination Center, which helps hospitals place patients at their facilities or within their systems when they lack capacity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The division will regularly track and report on progress and identify where progress is lagging. This information will be shared with partners and community members through regular reporting.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[With less than five weeks to go before tax deadline state has issued 720,000 refunds]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Salem, OR&mdash; Heading into the final month of the 2026 tax season, the Oregon Department of Revenue has received and processed 860,000 electronically-filed Oregon personal income tax returns and has issued 720,000 refunds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most taxpayers can expect to receive their refunds within two weeks of the date their return is e-filed. Some returns, however, require additional review and can take longer. Taxpayers looking for the status of their refund can use DOR&rsquo;s &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/Pages/Where-is-my-refund.aspx"&gt;Where&rsquo;s My Refund? tool&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Where&rsquo;s My Refund? tool was enhanced last year and now provides:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Additional detail about refund status.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Added functionality to see when the agency is requesting additional information to complete processing a return.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Website enhancements for improved customer experience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To have the benefit of the enhancements, however, taxpayers need to be signed into their &lt;a href="https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap/_/"&gt;Revenue Online&lt;/a&gt; account. Taxpayers who don&rsquo;t already have a Revenue Online account can create one by following the Revenue Online link on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/dor/Pages/index.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;department&rsquo;s website&lt;/a&gt;. Taxpayers can still use the Where&rsquo;s My Refund? tool without being signed into Revenue Online account, but won&rsquo;t be able to see the updated features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href="mailto:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip7S6wLyotQ"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; outlining the refund process and timelines is also available to help taxpayers understand the process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Among those refunds that will take longer in 2026 are refunds from paper-filed Oregon Personal Income Tax returns. &lt;a name="_Hlk222293941"&gt;On average taxpayers who e-file and request direct deposit get their refund two weeks faster than those who file a paper return. The extra wait will be even longer this year.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the closing months of 2025, the IRS was late providing necessary tax form information to the Department of Revenue creating a delay in the processing of paper-filed state returns. Processing of paper-filed returns is expected to start at the end of March with the first refunds for paper-filed returns expected to be issued in early April.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon is returning a $1.41 billion revenue surplus &ldquo;kicker&rdquo; to taxpayers in 2026. The kicker credit will either increase a taxpayer's refund or decrease the amount of state taxes they owe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Only taxpayers who filed a tax year 2024 return and also file a tax year 2025 return can receive a kicker. The credit is a percentage of Oregon personal income tax liability for the 2024 tax year. Taxpayers can determine the amount of their kicker using a &lt;a href="https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap/_/?Link=WMK"&gt;&ldquo;What&rsquo;s My Kicker? calculator&lt;/a&gt; available on Revenue Online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk224028130"&gt;About 60 percent of the 2.2 million Oregon personal income tax returns expected to be filed in 2026 have yet to be filed with less than five weeks to go before the April 15 deadline.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Besides the high volume of returns filed at the end of tax season, there are other common things that can make it take longer for Oregonians to get their refunds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Four common reasons refunds take longer and what to do about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Filing electronically and requesting to receive a refund via a check takes longer. Request direct deposit instead.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Filing more than once. Sending a duplicate paper return through the mail after e-filing will a delay a refund. Taxpayers should file just once unless they need to amend their return to make changes.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Refunds for taxpayers that are new to filing returns may be delayed so we can verify your identity. Taxpayers who receive a letter requesting identity verification are urged to respond promptly through Revenue Online to speed the processing of their return.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Refunds can also be delayed when errors are identified on returns. Taxpayers who receive a letter requesting additional information are urged to respond promptly through Revenue Online to speed the processing of their return.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Department of Revenue recommends that taxpayers &lt;strong&gt;wait one week &lt;/strong&gt;after they have electronically filed their return to use the Where&rsquo;s My Refund tool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taxpayers can check the status of their federal tax refunds on the IRS website.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;SALEM, Oregon &ndash; On Monday, March 9, 2026, the Oregon Tourism Commission (dba Travel Oregon)&amp;nbsp;announced the recipients of the 2025 Oregon Travel and Tourism Industry Achievement Awards at the 2026 Oregon Governor&rsquo;s Conference on Tourism at the Oregon Convention Center.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Main Street Statewide Coordinating Program received the Oregon Prosperity Award. The Oregon Prosperity Award recognizes DMOs or businesses championing the value of tourism, whose vision and commitment help make Oregon's communities, tourism regions and state stronger visitor destinations, creating optimal economic impact.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Main Street Statewide Coordinating Program has offered a unifying model for community revitalization in 100+ towns statewide since 2008. Since then, Main Street&rsquo;s tenets of promotion, organizational support, design, and economic vitality with a historic preservation lens, have activated and reactivated communities of all sizes, in every county of Oregon. As of 2021, the work of the Oregon Main Street program and partner organizations have resulted in $134.6 million total economic impact while offering free technical services for local programs, revitalizing downtowns and awarding millions of dollars in grants to communities across the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently, there are over 100 communities in Oregon participating in the Oregon Main Street Network which includes the following tiers: Accredited Main Street, Designated Main Street, Affiliated Main Street, Rural Regional Main Street, and Connected Communities. There is not a fee to participate in the Oregon Main Street Network.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oregon Main Street is a program of Oregon Heritage in Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Be alert for landslides and debris flows across Northwest Oregon]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Portland, OR&mdash;The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Northwest Oregon from 5 PM today (3/11/2026) through Friday evening (3/13/2026). Heavy rainfall from a forecasted atmospheric river event may result in landslides and debris flows in areas of steep terrain, as well as debris flows in and near burned areas from recent wildfires. The watch area includes the Clackamas County Cascade Foothills, Clatsop County Coast, East Central Willamette Valley, East Portland Metro, Inner Portland Metro, Lower Columbia River, North Oregon Coast Range, North Oregon Coast Range Lowlands, Outer Southeast Portland Metro, Portland West Hills and Chehalem Mountain, Tillamook County Coast, Tualatin Valley, West Central Willamette Valley, West Columbia River Gorge I-84 Corridor and West Columbia River Gorge of Oregon above 500 ft.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Find the latest information here: &lt;a href="https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=pqr&amp;amp;wwa=all"&gt;https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=pqr&amp;amp;wwa=all&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Debris flows are rapidly moving, extremely destructive landslides. They can contain boulders and logs transported in a fast-moving soil and water slurry down steep hillsides and through narrow canyons. They can easily travel a mile or more. A debris flow moves faster than a person can run. People, structures, and roads located below steep slopes in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your home, work, or travel route is in a watch area:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay alert.&lt;/strong&gt; Track the flood watch by radio, TV, weather radio, or online. If told to evacuate, do so immediately.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Listen.&lt;/strong&gt; Unusual sounds might indicate moving debris, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together. A trickle of falling mud or debris may precede larger landslides. If you think there is danger of a landslide, leave immediately.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch the water.&lt;/strong&gt; If water in a stream or creek suddenly turns muddy or the amount of water flowing suddenly decreases or increases, this is a warning that the flow has been affected upstream. You should immediately leave the area because a debris flow may soon be coming downstream.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Travel with extreme caution.&lt;/strong&gt; Assume roads are not safe. Be alert when driving, especially at night. Embankments along roadsides may fail, sending rock and debris onto the road.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[National Park Service Lists Arthur H. Devers House in National Register of Historic Places (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; The Arthur H. Devers House in northwest Portland is among Oregon&rsquo;s newest entries in the National Register of Historic Places. The State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) recommended the nomination at its October 2025 meeting for the property&rsquo;s association with prominent turn-of-the-century Portland businessman and civic leader Arthur H. Devers. The National Park Service, which maintains the National Register, accepted the nomination in late February 2026.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completed in 1891 and located at 1125 NW 21st Avenue, the Devers House served as the longtime residence of Arthur H. Devers during the most formative years of his commercial and civic career. Devers was a coâ'owner of Closset &amp;amp; Devers, one of the Pacific Northwest&rsquo;s first prominent coffee and tea importers, and by the early twentieth century had become one of Portland&rsquo;s better known business figures. While living in the house between 1891 and 1908, he played a central role in shaping major regional initiatives, including planning the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905, securing political support and federal funding for the Dallesâ'Celilo Canal, and helping establish the &ldquo;City Beautiful&rdquo; committee that evolved into the Civic Improvement League, which later commissioned Edward Bennett&rsquo;s Progressiveâ'era plan for Portland. The house is the property most directly associated with Devers during this influential period, and it reflects the social aspirations and rising prominence of a selfâ'made leader whose impact on Portland&rsquo;s commercial and civic development was widely recognized.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The National Register is maintained by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Properties listed in the National Register are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Recognized as significant to the nation, state, or community;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Considered in the planning of federal or federally-assisted projects;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Eligible for certain federal and state tax benefits;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Qualified for historic preservation grants when funds are available;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Eligible for leniency in meeting certain building code requirements;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Subject to local laws pertaining to the conservation and protection of historic resources.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;State law in Oregon requires local governments to offer a minimal level of protection for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places; decisions about how to accomplish that goal reside with local governments, which also have the authority to create and regulate local historic districts and landmarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Visit the National Register program webpage at &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/national-register.aspx"&gt;https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/national-register.aspx&lt;/a&gt; to explore listed properties, review eligibility criteria and the nomination timeline, access research tools, and&mdash;if you are curious whether your property might qualify&mdash;submit a Historic Resource Record (HRR) form to receive preliminary feedback from State Historic Preservation Office staff.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Respect nesting areas to protect threatened snowy plover Mar. 15 through Sept. 15 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Corvallis, OR &lt;/strong&gt;&ndash; The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and Siuslaw National Forest remind visitors to the Oregon Coast that western snowy plover nesting season begins March 15 and runs through Sept. 15. Beachgoers can help recovery efforts for the threatened shorebird by observing recreation restrictions at designated plover beaches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sensitive plover nesting areas are identified on maps for the &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PCB/Documents/PCB_OS_Plover_NorthcoastBeachesMap_2019.pdf"&gt;northern Oregon Coast&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PCB/Documents/PCB_OS_Plover_SouthCoastBeachesMap_2020.pdf"&gt;southern Oregon Coast&lt;/a&gt;. Western snowy plovers nest in dry sand above the high tide line and are often difficult to see because they camouflage well. To help protect these tiny shorebirds, please stay on wet sand and leave your dogs at home or at your campsite, even if they are leashed. Visitors may notice signs at trailheads with additional rules and limitations. There may be rope fencing in dry sand areas; this fencing delineates some, but not all, of the critical plover habitat that should be avoided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Seasonal recreation restrictions have helped protect and recover the western snowy plovers living on Oregon&rsquo;s beaches. Nests, and especially chicks, are well-hidden. During the nesting season, human disturbances can flush adult plovers away from their nests as they attempt to defend their young. Left alone too long, or too often, eggs or chicks can die from exposure and predators. Habitat loss from invasive plants and human disturbances&mdash;including litter and discarded food scraps that attract predators&mdash; also contribute to the birds&rsquo; decline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recreation restrictions occur only in designated plover management areas where plovers nest or might nest. These areas combined make up about 40 miles of Oregon's 362 miles of shoreline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reminders for recreation on designated plover beaches March 15 - Sept. 15:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The following are not permitted: dogs (even on a leash), driving a vehicle, riding a bicycle or e-bike, camping, burning wood, flying kites or operating drones.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Foot and equestrian traffic are permitted below the high-tide line on wet, hard packed sand.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Respect signs and barriers to protect nesting habitat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed western snowy plovers as a threatened species in 1993 when officials counted only 45 breeding adults. Populations have steadily increased since then due to ongoing efforts. Officials counted 546 during the breeding season survey in 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"We appreciate visitors' support in keeping these shorebirds safe. We invite visitors to enjoy permitted recreation in sensitive areas or to recreate without seasonal restrictions on beaches not designated as plover nesting areas," said Laurel Hillmann, ocean shore specialist for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p&gt;More information on the snowy plover, including detailed maps of nesting sites, can be found on the Oregon State Parks website (&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/pcb/pages/pcb-plovers.aspx?utm_source=OPRD&amp;amp;utm_medium=egov_redirect&amp;amp;utm_campaign=www.oregon.gov%2Fplovers"&gt;oregon.gov/plovers&lt;/a&gt;) and on the Siuslaw National Forest website (&lt;a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/siuslaw/animals-plants/western-snowy-plover"&gt;fs.usda.gov/r06/siuslaw/animals-plants/western-snowy-plover&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Visitors to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area can review Off-highway Vehicle (OHV) maps to identify unrestricted recreation areas and information on riding motor vehicles on the sand at &lt;a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/siuslaw/recreation/rules-and-guidelines"&gt;fs.usda.gov/r06/siuslaw/recreation/rules-and-guidelines&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Plover activity near Sand Lake Recreation Area&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The increase in plover numbers may result in nesting occuring at new or historical nesting sites. For example, visitors to Sand Lake Recreation Area may see small roped off areas near the lake&rsquo;s inlet to protect active nests and may encounter plovers on the beach. Beachgoers are encouraged to protect these birds by restricting recreation activities to wet sand areas, avoiding roped off nesting areas, packing all trash out and keeping dogs on leash. Paragliders should steer toward the northern area of Sand Lake Recreation Area to avoid gliding or landing near plover nests on the southern edge of the Sand Lake spit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Background on plover protections&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Several land managers oversee beach activity for plover protection, primarily the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). For more information on how plovers are managed in Oregon, see the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP):&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PCB/Documents/WSP-HCP_08182010-web.pdf"&gt;https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PCB/Documents/WSP-HCP_08182010-web.pdf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[As Oregon Home Listings Rise and Sales Slow, OnPoint Community Credit Union Offers Guidance for Homeowners Navigating the Market This Spring (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preparation, timing and understanding the process are key as more homeowners sell and buy at the same time &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; Spring is the home-selling season across Oregon and southwest Washington, but this year&rsquo;s market is shifting. Rising inventory is giving buyers more leverage and creating new challenges for homeowners navigating both a sale and a purchase. New listings are up 14% compared to last year, according to the &lt;a href="https://www.redfin.com/state/Oregon/housing-market"&gt;latest Redfin data&lt;/a&gt;. Conditions may improve for sellers, however, as mortgage rates have eased to about &lt;a href="https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms"&gt;6.5%&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We spend a lot of time talking about first-time homebuyers, but there&rsquo;s another group that needs just as much attention,&rdquo; said Landon Anson, mortgage loan officer at OnPoint Community Credit Union. &ldquo;Existing homeowners selling one home while purchasing another are navigating two major transactions at once. They&rsquo;re balancing timing, financing and market conditions on both sides of the deal, which can be especially challenging in a shifting market.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To help homeowners navigate the process, OnPoint highlights several key considerations:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start with the right team. &lt;/strong&gt;While many buyers begin with a lender, homeowners planning to sell and buy should first connect with a real estate agent. An agent can help estimate a home&rsquo;s value, outline potential sale proceeds and identify steps needed to prepare the home for market. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Understand the timeline and plan for overlap.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Buying and selling at the same time involves multiple moving parts. One common approach is a contingent pre-approval, where a new home purchase depends on the sale of the current home. Sellers may negotiate a rent-back period to bridge timing gaps. This allows sellers to remain in their home temporarily after closing while they finalize their new home purchase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prepare for upfront costs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Getting a home ready to sell often requires repairs or updates. Homeowners may use savings, but some choose to leverage a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to cover these costs and preserve cash for their next purchase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know that proceeds can be recaptured. &lt;/strong&gt;If savings are used to prepare a home for sale, those funds can often be replenished once the home sells. Understanding how proceeds will be used, including for a down payment on a next home, is critical to planning with confidence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Explore alternative strategies. &lt;/strong&gt;Some homeowners may qualify to purchase a new home before selling their current one. This can reduce timing pressure and allow sellers to prepare and list their home after they have already moved.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;There are a lot of moving parts, and it can feel overwhelming,&rdquo; Anson said. &ldquo;That is why it&rsquo;s so important to have a lender and a real estate agent working together. At OnPoint, we stay aligned throughout the process to help homeowners understand their options so they can move forward with confidence.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&lt;/strong&gt;: Detrash Portland, in partnership with Fred Meyer and the Portland Trailblazers&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When: &lt;/strong&gt;Wednesday, April 8, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;815 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR&amp;nbsp;97205 (Director Park) &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/maps?q=815+SW+Park+Ave+Portland+OR+97205"&gt;Map Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event Description:&lt;/strong&gt; In celebration of Earth Month, Fred Meyer, in partnership with the Portland Trail Blazers and SOLVE, is hosting a cleanup event in Downtown Portland. The event brings the community together for a morning of giving back right in the heart of the city. Volunteers will help remove litter from surrounding streets and public spaces while connecting with neighbors and taking part in a shared effort to care for downtown Portland. Blaze the Trail Cat and a live DJ, along with music, snacks, and giveaways, will bring energy to the park as the community comes together to kick off Earth Month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Portland's business districts are the heartbeat of our city and keeping them clean is vital to our economy and the environment. Litter poses a significant threat to our community's well-being, affecting the aesthetics and overall health of our streets, neighborhoods, and waterways. SOLVE's mission is to create opportunities for individuals and businesses to give back to their communities and play a critical role in maintaining the beauty and integrity of our city from the harmful effects of trash. Together, we can create a cleaner, more inviting downtown that reflects our pride in the city and care for our community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Media Crews:&lt;/strong&gt; Arrive by 9:45 am at Director Park to see approximately 100 volunteers of all ages of all ages checking in, collecting their cleanup supplies, receiving a safety speech and event overview, and then heading out in groups to pick up litter in the surrounding area. The event will run from 10 am to 12 pm, with volunteers expected to spread throughout Downtown Portland.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This event will have plenty of visuals of volunteers picking up litter, making for great community packages, VOs, and VOSOTS.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Available interviewees:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Clark County Historical Society Presents Humanities Washington Speaker Lawrence B. A. Hatter (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Free public talk explores the paradox of liberty and empire in the American Revolution&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;VANCOUVER, WA &mdash;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; The Clark County Historical Society will present historian Lawrence B. A. Hatter on Thursday, May 7, 2026, as part of its ongoing Speaker Series. The event will be held at the Fort Vancouver Visitor Center, located at 1501 E Evergreen Blvd in Vancouver, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. and the program beginning at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free, and advance registration is required.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Titled &ldquo;The American Revolution&rsquo;s End and an Empire&rsquo;s Beginning,&rdquo; the presentation examines the complex and often contradictory legacy of the Revolutionary era. Drawing on his research, Hatter explores how the American Revolution functioned both as a fight for human liberty and as a catalyst for expansion, conquest, and empire-building.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The program invites audiences to consider the dual nature of the Revolutionary generation; one that secured landmark victories for universal rights while simultaneously advancing territorial ambitions. Hatter will highlight key moments such as the Battle of Fallen Timbers, where a United States victory over a Native confederacy contributed to the continued invasion of Indigenous lands.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This event is presented in partnership with the National Park Service at the Fort Vancouver Visitor Center, allowing the Historical Society to accommodate a larger audience. It is also part of the Clark County Historical Museum&rsquo;s participation in the nationwide America 250 commemoration, marking the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lawrence B. A. Hatter is an award-winning scholar specializing in Colonial and Revolutionary American history. A native of the United Kingdom, he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia and currently serves as Associate Professor of History at Washington State University. His writing has appeared in The Washington Post and TIME, and he contributes a regular column to The Inlander in Spokane.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The event is sponsored by Humanities Washington and the Historic Preservation Commission, with media sponsorship provided by The Columbian. The program is also presented in partnership with the Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service at Washington State University.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Clark County Historical Museum Presents &ldquo;Our Mr. Matsura&rdquo; Documentary Screening and Talk (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Clark County Historical Museum invites the public to a special &lt;em&gt;History on Tap&lt;/em&gt; event featuring a screening of the acclaimed documentary &lt;em&gt;Our Mr. Matsura&lt;/em&gt;, followed by a community discussion with documentarian Beth Harrington. The event will take place on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at the Old Liberty Theater in Ridgefield.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Our Mr. Matsura&lt;/em&gt; tells the remarkable story of Frank (Sakae) Matsura, a Japanese-born photographer who immigrated to Washington State in the early 1900s and became one of the most important visual chroniclers of life in Okanogan County. Orphaned at a young age and raised in Tokyo, Matsura eventually made his way to rural Washington, where he embedded himself in a diverse community of Native people, settlers, and working-class residents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through his lens, Matsura captured thousands of images that documented everyday life in the American West. His work stood apart from traditional photography of the era, often incorporating humor, collaboration, and unconventional self-portraiture that challenged prevailing ideas about identity and representation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The film is produced, directed, and written by Beth Harrington, an Emmy Award&ndash;winning independent filmmaker whose work explores American history, culture, music, and art. Harrington&rsquo;s previous films include &lt;em&gt;Welcome to the Club: The Women of Rockabilly&lt;/em&gt;, which earned a Grammy nomination and aired nationally on PBS, and &lt;em&gt;The Winding Stream: The Carters, the Cashes and the Course of Country Music&lt;/em&gt;, which premiered at SXSW and received widespread critical acclaim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With decades of experience in public television, including work with WGBH in Boston and Oregon Public Broadcasting, Harrington brings a deeply researched and human-centered approach to storytelling, illuminating the lives and communities that shape regional history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More than a century later, Matsura&rsquo;s photographs continue to resonate, offering a deeply human perspective on community, culture, and belonging.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the screening, attendees will be invited to participate in a discussion exploring Matsura&rsquo;s artistic legacy and the broader impact of immigrant voices in shaping regional history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The National Civics Bee is an annual competition that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. In the first round of the contest, local middle school students&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in an essay competition. Judges will then select 20 finalists to&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in our local competition: a live quiz event testing civics knowledge. The top three students from each local competition will advance to the state competition.&nbsp;According to the U.S. Chamber of&nbsp;Commerce Foundation,&nbsp;this competition was launched to tackle the lack of knowledge about history and civics among middle school students, exposed by new federal data on the&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/civics/2022/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="text-size-adjust: 100%; color: rgb(0, 79, 89);" target="_blank"&gt;Nation's Report Card&lt;/a&gt;. In 2022, the average civics score at eighth grade decreased by 2 points compared to 2018.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Forty-seven million people worldwide are affected by dementias, causing&amp;nbsp;memory loss, difficulties with planning, difficulties with language, personality changes, mood changes, and agitation. These diseases, including Alzheimer&rsquo;s Disease, have devastating impacts on affected individuals, their families, and their friends.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;If everyone lived long enough, would we all develop some form of dementia?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;What causes dementia, and how does it progress?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Why did earlier clinical trials to treat dementia fail?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Do current treatments help?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;What do new findings suggest about how to treat dementia?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us to explore these and other questions, as well as new insights into how dementias begin and possible ways to slow or even stop them.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;Back by popular demand! (Now with ASL interpreters!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Portland, OR &ndash; April 2, 2026&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; &lt;strong&gt;OREGON REPERTORY SINGERS&lt;/strong&gt; invites you to experience &lt;strong&gt;Brahms&rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;Ein deutsches Requiem&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;in a fresh and compelling way, performed in a rarely heard version for choir, two pianos, and timpani. This more intimate scoring brings the music into sharp focus, letting Brahms&rsquo;s warm harmonies and powerful choral writing shine with clarity and energy. Unlike the traditional Latin requiem, Brahms designed this work to comfort the living&mdash;to offer reassurance, hope, and peace to those who mourn rather than prayers for the dead. &lt;strong&gt;Soloists RICHARD ZELLER (BARITONE) and ARWEN MYERS (SOPRANO)&lt;/strong&gt; add depth and expressive beauty to this deeply human journey, making the experience both profoundly moving and immediately relatable. This is Brahms at his most personal: reflective, radiant, and full of compassion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;What Brahms understood, and what this music teaches, is that mourning is not the opposite of joy: It is the path to reclaiming joy after loss&hellip;.&amp;nbsp;That Brahms's answer to grief still speaks so directly&mdash;more than 150 years after he wrote it&mdash;is a testament to what great art can do. That this choir is still here after 52 years, still gathering, still singing, still refusing to look away from the full weight of human experience &mdash; I think Brahms would understand that too. Together, with beauty, we endure.&rdquo; &lt;strong&gt;&ndash; Ethan Sperry, Conductor and Gil Seeley Artistic Director&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONCERT PARTNER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOPEWELL HOUSE&lt;/strong&gt; is our concert partner for Brahms&rsquo; Requiem because we share a belief that comfort, dignity, and care&mdash;especially at the end of life&mdash;are worthy of our deepest attention. Brahms&rsquo; Requiem is not a work about fear or judgment, but one of &lt;strong&gt;compassion for the living and solace for those who grieve&lt;/strong&gt;. Hopewell House embodies these same values, providing equitable, compassionate end-of-life care for individuals and families, regardless of circumstance. Together, we affirm that this stage of life deserves tenderness, presence, and beauty.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hopewell House is a 12-bed residential care facility in Southwest Portland &lt;/strong&gt;exclusively for individuals on hospice and in their final phase of life. Partnering with residents&rsquo; hospice teams, their clinical staff and skilled volunteers provide 24/7 care, allowing loved ones to find meaning in their final chapter. Donations support access to Hopewell House for those with financial barriers, maintenance to the home, and training for their dedicated staff and volunteer community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Hopewell House is honored to be partnering with the ORS for this spectacular event. Please consider supporting this vital community organization." &lt;strong&gt;&ndash; Hopewell House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONCERT SPONSOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;I am delighted to help sponsor ORS's presentation of the Brahms Requiem. I volunteer with ORS where I am a Board member, and at Hopewell House where I am the co-lead of the volunteer Garden Team. This concert showcases the powerful vocal artistry of ORS with a unique two-piano accompaniment in a musical work that has been described as "a radiant, joy-filled work about death." Hopewell House is a community resource that provides individuals with compassionate end-of-life care and supports their families and friends through the process. Bringing these two organizations together to share their assets with the greater Portland community brings me great joy.&rdquo; &ndash; &lt;strong&gt;Sherril Gelmon, ORS Board Member &amp;amp; Concert Sponsor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GUEST ARTISTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Brahms Requiem is one of those pieces I love to come back to again and again. Every time I sing it, I hear it in a new way. The wonderful two-piano arrangement takes that to a new level. The sound world of the pianos is completely different than the original orchestration, and it's like hearing (or singing, in our case) a whole new piece, but with the same transcendent beauty and humanity of the orchestral version. It's much more than just the notes on the page. It reminds us that life is beautiful, our humanity is beautiful, and that death isn't the end&mdash; whatever that means to you. It is a humbling piece to perform.&rdquo; &lt;strong&gt;&ndash; Arwen Myers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I first performed with ORS in 1988. It was one of my first professional gigs with conductor Gil Seeley singing Haydn's &lt;em&gt;The Creation.&lt;/em&gt; Since then, I have returned numerous times through the years to sing again with ORS led by Gil and now recently with the inspiring Ethan Sperry! It is wonderful to be back again to sing one of my favorite pieces, the Brahms &lt;em&gt;Requiem&lt;/em&gt;. This is truly one of the Masterpieces of Western Music and I always feel humbled and privileged to sing it. This piece is full of the human condition, and I am moved each time I experience it." &ndash; &lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Richard Zeller&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Brahms Requiem has completely captured my heart! To be sitting at the piano at the center of such harmonic and emotional beauty is a true gift.&rdquo; &lt;strong&gt;&ndash; Naomi Laviolette&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;To witness the rich and textured writing of one of the masters of choral music and piano chamber music from the piano bench is one of those 'pinch me I'm dreaming' moments. This piece will push and pull you, rock and lull you, and surround you. This might be the only time I get to share the stage with a collaborative pianist as accomplished and sublime as Naomi LaViolette, so the real treat is this precious moment together. Thank you, Ethan, for programming this and letting Portland experience a Brahms Requiem with two pianos!&rdquo;&lt;strong&gt; &ndash; Colin Shepard&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is no animal we&rsquo;re more aware of having as neighbors as the American Crow. Loud, ubiquitous, and immediately recognizable, most Portlanders will see crows every day. And yet, there are few animals as mysterious and captivating.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;If I feed crows, will they bring me shiny presents?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Why are crows so intelligent, and what do they do with those big brains?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Why, if we look outside at dawn and dusk, do we see vast numbers of them all flying in the same direction?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Why do they tear out the grass in our lawns?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Why do they bring bits of food and wash it in our bird baths?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Why do they dive bomb some people?&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Do they really remember human faces? And hold funerals for their fallen?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this wide-ranging exploration of the exceedingly common, and unique, American Crow, we&rsquo;ll learn what makes them so fascinating and mysterious, and try to answer some of these questions along the way.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Portland, Ore.,&lt;/em&gt; - Union Gospel Mission (UGM) will hold its annual &lt;strong&gt;Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 5 at 12pm at 3 NW Third Avenue in Portland.&lt;/strong&gt; UGM is working to make the holiday a little extra special for those experiencing homelessness, especially since many are separated from family and can&rsquo;t have a typical celebration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In all, Union Gospel Mission will provide more than 3,200 special holiday meals. The holiday meal service kicked off Friday, March 27 when the Mission packed 500 Easter food baskets, which provide 2,500 Easter meals for families who are housed but unable to provide Easter meals for their families. This week, leading up to Easter, the Mission is serving more than 360 Easter meals during their Search + Rescue mobile outreach to camps.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;UGM is preparing to serve at least 400 meals Easter Sunday which will include scrambled eggs with diced ham and cheddar cheese, biscuits and sausage gravy, fruit salad, a pastry, coffee, juice, and a snack sack for later in the day. Guests will have the option of dining in or having a meal to go.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We look forward to welcoming each guest with a big smile and large plate of food and the hope found in Easter,&rdquo; says Matt Stein Executive Director.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[New Report Shows SW Washington&rsquo;s Nonprofit Sector is Strained by Federal Funding and Policy Changes (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vancouver, Wash., March 24, 2026&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; A year of federal funding and policy changes have strained southwest Washington nonprofits, according to &ldquo;Finding New Ways Forward,&rdquo; a new report published by the &lt;a href="http://www.cfsww.org"&gt;Community Foundation for Southwest Washington&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The report presents data from the organization&rsquo;s 2025 nonprofit survey, which polled more than 100 nonprofit leaders across Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania Counties. The responses reveal a sector navigating major financial challenges and growing uncertainty. Acute concerns include staffing reductions, program closures, additional administrative burdens and a rising demand for services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Nonprofits are a critical part of our region&rsquo;s social and economic infrastructure,&rdquo; said Matt Morton, president of the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington. &ldquo;They employ thousands of people and deliver essential services that keep our communities thriving. As funding disappears, the impact is felt beyond board rooms and offices &mdash; it&rsquo;s felt in our families and neighborhoods.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Larger organizations carry the greatest financial exposure, with cause areas like early childhood education, food security, and physical and mental health most reliant on federal funding. Because of this, leaders across the sector &mdash; including those insulated from federal changes &mdash; anticipate ripple effects that will increase competition for philanthropic resources and weaken essential community services.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One behavioral health nonprofit said, &ldquo;Recent changes are likely to cut a quarter of our funding and leave Medicaid beneficiaries who need services in the lurch. As a result, we&rsquo;ll see increased overhead costs, changes in the scope of our services and lost staff time as we focus on contingency planning.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key findings include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;60% of respondents feel insecure or worse about the state of the sector.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;32% of nonprofits receiving federal funds are experiencing or anticipating reductions in staffing or employee pay.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;51% of surveyed nonprofits have been or will be impacted by federal funding changes.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;62% of organizations said new federal policies already are or will soon impact operations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The report also illustrates how nonprofits are responding. Nonprofit leaders emphasized creativity and collaboration, including efforts to diversify revenue streams, strengthen partnerships and invest in shared infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Nonprofits have always shown incredible resolve through crises, even more so when local support buoys their efforts,&rdquo; Morton said. &ldquo;This is yet another moment for collective action, and nonprofits need sustained, flexible investments as they work to find new ways to meet local needs.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Finding New Ways Forward&rdquo; is designed to guide local funding and advocacy efforts. The report outlines recommended actions for donors, volunteers and other community partners, while also providing key insights for nonprofit leaders navigating the current climate.

				<headline><![CDATA[Oaks Park is officially open for their 121st season!]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The gates are open and Oregon's iconic amusement park is now reopen for the 2026 season!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With 24 rides, classic carnival games, miniature golf, and the oldest roller skating rink in United States, Oaks Park has been Portland's playground since 1905.&amp;nbsp; The 121st &lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;amusement park is underway today with family fun on the midway from noon to 5 PM, then the kickoff continues daily from 12-5 PM each day&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;of Oregon Spring Break, March 21-29.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After Spring Break, the park is open for the spring on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.&amp;nbsp; Starting June 12 the park will be open 6 days a week for Summer Break, with the fun continuing in the fall all the way through Halloween.&amp;nbsp; The Roller Rink is open 6 days a week all year 'round, and is offering extended hours for both Oregon and Washington Spring Break.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New This Year&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;For the first time, Oaks Park is proud to offer season passes to the general public.&amp;nbsp; Passes include unlimited visits during the 2026 season, plus 10% off food and souvenirs, and 20% off Open Skate admission.&amp;nbsp; Passes are $74.45 for folks under 48" tall and $139.45 for guests 48" and taller.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Individual ride tickets are back!&amp;nbsp; The updated Chipper Buck program allows visitors to purchase points that can be used for ride admission, games, rink admission, food and beverages, and more. See oakspark.com for full details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Year for Anniversaries&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last year may have been the landmark 120th season, but 2026 has plenty of milestones of its own!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;This June the Roller Rink turns 120 years old!&amp;nbsp; Open since 1906, Oaks Park Roller Rink is the oldest roller skating rink in the U.S., the last to play a live pipe organ, and the only floating roller rink in the world!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The carousel celebrates 100 years on the midway this season.&amp;nbsp; The 1912 Herschell-Spillman hand-carved Noah's Ark Menagerie Carousel was installed in its current location in 1926 and has been the heartbeat of the park ever since.&amp;nbsp; Oaks Park carousel is the only free-to-ride carousel in the country (free rides available during standard operating hours only).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Also celebrating 100 years in 2026 is the fabulous Wurlitzer pipe organ. The antique instrument was manufactured in 1296, and Oaks Park purchased it from the Broadway theater in 1955.&amp;nbsp; It is the very last pipe organ in a roller skating rink in the entire world. The pipe organ is played at three sessions each week; Thursdays from 7-9:30 PM and Sundays from 1-5 and 7-9:30 PM.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This year&rsquo;s event will spotlight Laila, an 18-year-old from Prineville living with aniridia who is legally blind. Through the foundation&rsquo;s support, Laila received a bioptic telescope and funding for travel to Portland, where she completed a specialized driving course to obtain her learner&rsquo;s permit. With this new independence, she now has the ability to get herself to college and pursue her goals with greater confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&ldquo;Stories like Laila&rsquo;s are why this work matters,&rdquo; said &lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;Kelly Asbra, VP of Programs and Gala Committee Chair.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;Access to vision care can truly change the trajectory of a young person&rsquo;s life.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Nurses File Wage Theft Lawsuit Against Asante]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h3&gt;&lt;em&gt;Asante accused of manipulating workers&rsquo; paychecks and stealing healthcare workers' wages.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(MEDFORD, Ore.)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash;&amp;nbsp; On March 18, an Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) member leader filed a class action lawsuit against Asante for wage theft and violating Oregon law. Asante is accused of multiple illegal accounting practices including manipulating workers&rsquo; timecards, making unauthorized wage deductions, time rounding, refusing to pay workers&rsquo; earned differentials, refusing to pay missed meals and breaks, and failure to pay workers&rsquo; wages on time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nurses are suing to stop Asante&rsquo;s illegal accounting practices, recover lost wages owed to healthcare workers, and ensure a fair and accurate accounting of all workers&rsquo; hours and pay.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Nurses and healthcare workers show up every day to care for our community and we expect to be paid fairly for our work. When we clock in, we trust that Asante is paying us properly. That trust has been broken,&rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;said Fred Katz, RN, an ONA bargaining unit chair at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center and ONA board member. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t an honest mistake. Asante is systematically manipulating timecards as a structure of fiscal policy and enforced work rules. It&rsquo;s just wrong."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We know many workers are afraid to speak up. That&rsquo;s why nurses are taking the lead. We are standing up for every hourly worker who relies on fair pay to pay their rent, cover their bills and feed their families. It&rsquo;s time for Asante to take accountability for its actions. It needs to stop breaking the law and start paying frontline healthcare workers every dollar they&rsquo;ve earned,"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Katz said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Class counsel estimates 6,000 hourly workers have been victims of Asante&rsquo;s wage theft since 2020&mdash;including nearly 5,000 current employees. Plaintiffs estimate Asante owes workers $500,000 in unpaid wages. Asante is facing an additional $2 million in statutory penalties and damages plus interest and court costs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;As a nurse with Asante for over nine years, the work we do matters deeply to me and my colleagues. We&rsquo;re very proud of the care and attention we provide to our patients and our community. We&rsquo;re asking Asante to bring that same level of care and attention to its payroll practices to ensure workers are paid accurately,&rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;said Juniper Arthurs, RN, an ONA bargaining unit leader at Asante Rogue Regional, and a named plaintiff in the suit.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &ldquo;This case will provide a full and fair review of payroll practices and address any wages owed. All workers should feel confident they are being paid what they&rsquo;ve earned.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.epi.org/publication/wage-theft-2021-23/"&gt;Wage theft&lt;/a&gt; is the failure to pay workers the full wages they are legally entitled to. It is the largest form of theft in the United States costing workers billions of dollars each year. Wage theft can take many forms, including requiring employees to work off the clock, denying workers their legal meal breaks or payment for missed breaks, illegal deductions and overtime violations among others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Asante is accused of illegally &ldquo;rounding&rdquo; workers timesheets among other unlawful accounting practices. Rounding workers&rsquo; timesheets is illegal in Oregon. It can lead to providers working for free off the clock and working more hours for less pay. Oregon law requires companies to pay workers for all hours worked to ensure accurate timekeeping and fair compensation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How rounding works:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Examples: &lt;/em&gt;A nurse clocks in at 5:53 a.m. and begins caring for patients. Asante rounds the time so it only pays the nurse starting at 6 a.m. regardless of the amount of work the nurse performed before 6. Alternatively, if a nurse clocks out of a shift at 7:07 p.m. due to work demands, Asante only pays them for work until 7 p.m.&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;&mdash;&lt;/span&gt;refusing to pay the nurse for all hours worked.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While the individual daily impact can be small, illegal accounting practices like rounding compound and multiply&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;&mdash;&lt;/span&gt;affecting every hourly worker on every shift every day. Asante&rsquo;s illegal accounting has been going on for years, preventing thousands of workers from being paid fairly and costing them potential overtime payments, premium and differentials, and earned sick time and leave benefits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One nurse alone already won more than $5,000 in earned backpay after successfully challenging Asante&rsquo;s illegal accounting practices through union grievances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to rounding, Asante is accused of illegally modifying workers&rsquo; timecards to prevent workers from receiving earned premium and differential pay. In these cases, Asante would allegedly alter workers&rsquo; timecards after the worker and their supervisor reviewed and approved them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Asante has also refused to correct workers&rsquo; timesheet when workers&rsquo; reported having to skip meals and breaks due to short staffing or other issues; preventing workers from receiving the full pay they earned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The lawsuit is filed in Jackson County Circuit Court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wpsvfj6bf5m0ppzkldunu/AsanteWageTheftLawsuit_26.03.18-Arthurs-Complaint-26CV13176.pdf?rlkey=z641u43aoh15rbqjweidsohc6&amp;amp;st=ksg452sn&amp;amp;dl=0"&gt;Click here for a copy of the lawsuit.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Asante is a multimillion-dollar healthcare system that is the largest healthcare provider in 9 counties across Southern Oregon and Northern California. It has more than 6,000 workers in hospitals, clinics and offices throughout the region. Asante executives are already under fire for closing maternity and inpatient services at Ashland&rsquo;s only hospital and racking up more than $684,000 in state fines for violating Oregon&rsquo;s safe staffing law. Asante executives also face six unfair labor practice charges (ULPs) including for refusing to meet and bargain with frontline healthcare workers and mounting questions about their decision to outsource local healthcare providers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ONA represents more than 1450 registered nurses and technical workers at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[The Oregon Nurses Association Endorses Cristian Mendoza Ruvalcaba for Highly Competitive Senate District 3 Race]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medford, Ore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;- The Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) has endorsed Cristian Mendoza Ruvalcaba&mdash;a nurse practitioner, educator, and longtime union member&mdash;in the highly competitive race for Oregon Senate District 3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Born and raised in Medford, Cristian brings frontline healthcare experience and deep roots in the Rogue Valley to one of the most closely watched legislative races in the state. As a registered nurse, educator, and union advocate, he has spent his career fighting for patients, caregivers, and working families across Southern Oregon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;I am grateful for the endorsement of ONA and the backing of such an impactful organization that fights for the rights of patients and communities every day,&rdquo; said Cristian. &ldquo;As a nurse and a long-time ONA member, I am running to stand up for working families, our local communities, and to build a more just and equitable healthcare system. I can&rsquo;t think of a better organization that fights for those same principles every day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11.5pt"&gt;Together, we can earn the votes of the people in Senate District 3 and build a future that works for every family."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;ONA represents more than 25,000 nurses and frontline healthcare professionals statewide, and thousands of caregivers in the Rogue Value including at Providence Medford Medical Center and Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Senate District 3 is expected to be one of the most competitive and closely watched races in Oregon this year following the decision by long-time incumbent Jeff Golden not to seek reelection. Cristian is currently facing off against four other Democrats for the party&rsquo;s nomination in the May primary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;Cristian is a tireless advocate for our community and a true champion for working people,&rdquo; said Breanna Zabel, RN, chair of the ONA Providence Medford Bargaining Unit, and a district resident. &ldquo;He knows firsthand what it takes to care for patients on the frontlines&mdash;and he&rsquo;ll bring that same commitment to Salem. I&rsquo;m proud our union is standing with him.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Cristian is running for Senate to stand up for working families and safeguard access to healthcare and education. Improving these essential services in local communities is at the heart of his campaign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;Southern Oregon raised me, and I&rsquo;m proud to call it home,&rdquo; said Cristian. &ldquo;Healthcare in the Rogue Valley is essential to our communities, but it&rsquo;s under tremendous strain. Corporate-driven healthcare and deep federal funding cuts are forcing patients to choose between medications and groceries, while worsening conditions for frontline caregivers. I&rsquo;ll bring the voice of frontline experience to Salem&mdash;and I will always fight for our patients, our communities, and the people actually delivering the care.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Interviews available upon request.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;You can learn more at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cristianforsd3.com" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;www.cristianforsd3.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) represents a diverse community of more than 25,000 nurses and healthcare professionals throughout Oregon. Together, we use our collective power to advocate for critical issues impacting patients, nurses and healthcare professionals including a more effective, affordable and accessible healthcare system; better working conditions for all healthcare professionals; and healthier communities.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The region has made some gains in outcomes for the women workforce, but more progress is needed to retain talent and productivity.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Portland, OR &mdash; &lt;/strong&gt;The Portland Metro Chamber has released its State of Women in the Portland Metro Economy report, a debut report produced by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="Hyperlink SCXW49813476 BCX0" href="https://econw.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ECOnorthwest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and presented by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="Hyperlink SCXW49813476 BCX0" href="https://www.regence.com/home" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regence&amp;nbsp;BlueCross BlueShield&amp;nbsp;of Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;The report finds that women&rsquo;s workforce participation has increased meaningfully over the past decade, yet persistent disparities in earnings and leadership representation show that participation alone doesn&rsquo;t guarantee economic security or advancement. As the region grapples with what &ldquo;good growth&rdquo; means in the Portland metro context, the analysis illuminates whose economic opportunities are expanding, whose remain constrained, and where structural barriers persist regardless of individual effort or qualification.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;The barriers that women face demonstrate how broader economic pressures on household costs, entrepreneurial dynamics, and workforce productivity compound existing structural inequalities. Achieving resilience and growth requires unblocking economic participation of women across all backgrounds through targeted policy measures, not only as a matter of equity, but as an economic imperative for a state that cannot afford to leave talent and productivity on the table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;This report follows the release in February of the Chamber&rsquo;s annual&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="Hyperlink SCXW49813476 BCX0" href="https://portlandmetrochamber.com/resources/2026-state-of-the-economy/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;State of the Economy report&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(3, 33, 45)"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a class="Hyperlink SCXW49813476 BCX0" href="https://portlandmetrochamber.com/resources/2026-state-of-downtown/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;State of Downtown and the Central City report,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(3, 33, 45)"&gt;&amp;nbsp;as well as its&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;annual&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="Hyperlink SCXW49813476 BCX0" href="https://portlandmetrochamber.com/resources/2026-voter-poll/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;State of the Electorate report&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on voter sentiment, which showed that the Portland metro region faces a troubling &ldquo;new normal&rdquo; characterized by stagnant job growth, slowed housing production, declining public economic confidence, and dropping economic competitiveness rankings. Within this challenging landscape, women&rsquo;s economic participation and advancement &ndash; especially within the Portland Metro area &ndash; are not peripheral concerns but central to the region&rsquo;s path forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;Report at a Glance&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;2% increase in workforce participation for all women in the Portland metro region from 2014 to 2024.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Hispanic women in the Portland metro have the greatest wage gap when compared to every dollar all men earned in the Portland metro in 2023, at $0.61.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;20% of all households in the Portland metro region are headed by single women.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;45% of Oregon&rsquo;s state legislature is&amp;nbsp;comprised&amp;nbsp;of women in 2025, compared to 33% nationally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;99% of women-owned businesses are small businesses with less than 50 employees.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW49813476 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; clear: both; cursor: text; overflow: visible; position: relative; direction: ltr; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;Additional Takeaways&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Workforce participation for women with young children (under the age of 6) has increased by 10 percentage points since 2014.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Educational attainment is strongly connected to workforce participation for women.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Women of color continue to see lower workforce participation rates than white women.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Women earn less than men on the dollar, but the gender wage gap varies&amp;nbsp;greatly by&amp;nbsp;race and ethnicity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Women earn less than men across&amp;nbsp;almost all&amp;nbsp;occupations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Most occupations with higher wages for women have lower representation of women overall, and even lower representation of women of color.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;In households with children, single-female-headed households are more likely to face poverty or asset limitations than single-male-headed households.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;The number of women state legislators in Oregon has been consistently higher than the number of women state legislators nationally.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Women CEO representation in publicly traded companies in Oregon increased from 1 woman in 2015 to 7 women in 2024.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;99% of woman-owned businesses are small-sized businesses with less than 50 employees.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lisa Murphy, Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff at&amp;nbsp;Regence Health Plans&amp;nbsp;and Treasurer of the Portland Metro Chamber Board of Directors, said,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&ldquo;This report reveals both the Portland metro region's successes and critical gaps in supporting its women workforce.&amp;nbsp;We've&amp;nbsp;made meaningful progress: workforce participation is up, wage gaps have narrowed for most racial and ethnic groups, women's business ownership has&amp;nbsp;grown&amp;nbsp;and Oregon leads the nation in electing women to public office. However, structural barriers persist, especially for women with young children and women of color, limiting economic access and opportunity. While we celebrate gains, we must also accelerate progress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;Andrew Hoan, President and CEO of the Portland Metro Chamber, said,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&ldquo;To champion our region&rsquo;s wellbeing, we must also champion the success of our region&rsquo;s women workforce. With the economy in recession since 2023, constraints on any parts of our community strain our ability to prosper. To achieve sustainable and inclusive growth, we must urgently fix the cracks in our economic foundation, including the structural issues that continue to limit participation and progress among women, particularly women with young children and women of color.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;-----------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Crown Point Country Historical Society, one of the oldest historical societies west of the Mississippi, is excited to announce the grand opening of its brand-new Crown Point Country Museum, located at 36901 East Historic Columbia River Highway, Corbett, Oregon.&amp;nbsp; Through the hard work of many volunteers over many years, the museum is really a dream come true.&amp;nbsp; Join in the festivities on Saturday, March 21st.&amp;nbsp; Starting at 10 a.m., a ribbon-cutting ceremony will kick things off, along with music, refreshments, and door prizes.&lt;span style="font-size:24px"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"&gt;Rep.

				<headline><![CDATA[Mid-Columbia Lions Follies presents:  &ldquo;WHODUNIT&rdquo; (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;LOCATION: Hood River Middle School Auditorium&lt;br /&gt;
DATES: March 20, 21, 22, 27, 28&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Mid-Columbia Lions Follies cast and crew will be bringing back their fun-filled musical performance on March 20, 21, 27, 28 at 7 pm and the Sunday matinee, March 22 at 2 pm. All performances are at the Hood River Middle School Auditorium located at 1602 May Street in Hood River. Tickets are $15.00 General admission, $12 for Seniors and students and $10 for ages 12 and under. Ages 5 and under are free. Tickets may be purchased at Waucoma Book Store, Key Bank, on-line, and at the door.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;WHODUNIT&rdquo; is a murder mystery built around artificial intelligence, - AI. It is a story about the Baxter family has just a few hours before word of their patriarch&rsquo;s death by unusual circumstances reaches the media, Their business is about to explode and their investors may pull funding. Famous detectives from the past are called in to help solve the crime. This sounds serious, but in the Follies way, music, comedy and the flair of the dramatic take place for a fun-filled performance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The cast consists of local performers. The Baxters are played by Jacob Hollenberry in his stage debut, Sarah Fox and Colton Nussbaum. Amy Maddy plays the nanny. Detectives consist of Jeremy Belcher as Philip Marlowe, Dave Tallman as Adrian Monk, Beth Gatewood (a Follies newcomer) and Sandy Belcher as Jessica Fletcher. The Scooby Doo kids join in the hunt as well &ndash; Grant Hinman, Brayden Belcher, Honor Ivy, and Addie Goss. They are all joined by newcomer to Follies, Rebekah McAlister and Izzie Hollenberry, who also is the costumer for the show.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The show was written by the Follies writer, Terri Tyler. Her quick wit and creative thoughts always lead the way to a fun show, and this one is no different. Bev Bridgewater is the Producer/Director, assisted by Amy Maddy as Vocal Director, Gayle Huwe as Properties, and Cindy Biddle as Stage Manager. Using AI as part of the show has been a challenge, which Bridgewater admits she is very limited. Fortunately, Shay Belcher, Sarah Fox and Colton Nussbaum stepped up to make all the music and background happen to create the magic for this AI-themed show.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hood River Lions, Hood River Eye Opener Lions, and The Dalles Lions are the sponsoring clubs of the show. The Hood River Leos will be offering cookies and water during the performances. &ldquo;We are so excited every year to present our version of entertainment to an audience.&rdquo; Bridgewater says. &ldquo;This year&rsquo;s show has a mystery to solve, and there is plenty of music, comedy and action. It&rsquo;s Follies!&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All proceeds go to the Oregon Lions Sight &amp;amp;amp; Hearing Foundation (OLSHF), a statewide nonprofit whose mission is to screen, treat, save, and restore sight and hearing in partnership with Lions Clubs. 100% of donations go directly to sight and hearing programs that help Oregonians in need to access eyeglasses, hearing assistance, treatments, and surgeries. The OLSHF, supported by the local Lions, perform sight screening for over 200,000 students across the State, including Hood River and Wasco county schools. Further, local Lions provide sight grants to local folks in need. The Follies has donated over $435,000 to the OLSHF over the years, making it the highest single donor to the Foundation.

				<headline><![CDATA[Tualatin Lions Easter Egg Hunt Returns, April 4, 2026 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The Easter Bunny is ready for his favorite Easter Egg Hunt! It&rsquo;s the Tualatin Lions Club&rsquo;s 53rd annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at the big green, beautiful Tualatin Community Park, 8515 SW Tualatin Rd., Tualatin OR.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Tualatin Lions Club and their Scout Troop 530 Scouts have been busy getting ready for this giant event and the Ester Bunny&rsquo;s visit. As always, EVERY hunter is a winner! Hunters just need to have fun on the hunt, get an egg or two, or even none, then meet up with the Troop 530 Scouts for a bag of safe Easter candy! There will be &ldquo;special&rdquo; eggs in each hunting area to be exchanged for Big prizes! Be sure to come early for photos with the Easter Bunny, who has promised to arrive by Noon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hunts will start promptly at 1:00PM with the Toddlers to 2-year-olds in the playground area (the only hunt where parents and grandparents can help). The 3 and 4-year-olds are next in the field between the tennis/pickle-ball courts and the Van Raden Center. Next come the 5 and 6-year olds in deep left field, finishing with the big kids, 7 and 8-years-old in shallow left field. All hunters should bring their own basket/bag/bucket &hellip; container for Easter Eggs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A special feature of the Tualatin Lions Easter Egg Hunt is the hunt for our vision impaired friends. The Lions have beeping Easter eggs for those friends and that hunt starts at 12:50PM just north of the main picnic shelter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Troop 530 Scouts and Tualatin Lions will be on hand to give directions to hunting areas and to help with photos with the Easter Bunny. The Tualatin Lions will also have their popular popcorn/soda/water sales on hand. Each item is still just $1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is NO charge to any hunter or their families. This is the Tualatin Lions Club&rsquo;s annual fun &ldquo;give back&rdquo; to Tualatin children and their families. The Tualatin Lions will gladly accept monetary donations (near the popcorn popper) or donations of non-perishable food items for local food pantries (no glass containers, please).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Lions and Scouts are all excited to see the regions children and to welcome the Easter Bunny, Saturday, April 4, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Tualatin Lions Club welcomes anyone with interest in having fun and serving their community, especially those less fortunate. The Tualatin Lions Can be reached at &lt;a href="mailto:tualatinlionsclub@gmail.com"&gt;tualatinlionsclub@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Oaks Park First: Season Passes That Offer Nonstop Fun All Season Long&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (March 16, 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; For the first time ever, Oaks Park is offering season passes to the general public, so park visitors can enjoy all the fun of Oregon&rsquo;s favorite amusement park anytime throughout the 2026 season. The new passes offer unlimited rides all season long as well as exclusive savings and special offers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;For years, fans of Oaks Park have told us that they&rsquo;d love to have a season pass for making multiple trips to the park throughout the season,&rdquo; said Emily MacKay, Oaks Park&rsquo;s Marketing and Events Director. &ldquo;This year, we&rsquo;re making it happen so folks&amp;nbsp;can drop by whenever the mood for fun strikes, whether it&rsquo;s a quick afternoon ride break, an evening on the midway, or a full day of thrills.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Available in limited quantities now, Oaks Park Season Passes include unlimited rides every standard operating day of the 2026 season.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Governor Ferguson Signs HB 2632, Modernizing Language in Washington State Law (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Olympia, WA &ndash; Governor Bob Ferguson signed House Bill 2632 into law, updating outdated terminology in Washington State statutes and directing state and local entities to replace references to the term &ldquo;alien&rdquo; with &ldquo;noncitizen&rdquo; or other context-appropriate language, except where federal law requires otherwise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;With the signing of this law, Washington state became the fourth state in the nation to remove the use of the word &ldquo;alien&rdquo; from its laws when referring to individuals. HB 2632 represents a collaborative effort among legislators, legal practitioners, and community advocates to ensure Washington&rsquo;s statutory language remains clear, accurate, and consistent with contemporary legal standards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Joining Oregon and California as the only other states to make this change across all statutes and documents, this modernization of terminology has been a priority of Representative My-Linh Thai since becoming the first refugee elected to the Washington State House of Representatives in 2019. The outdated term was once again raised this session, brought forward by the Undocumented Communities Committee, a body focused on equitable access to legal aid in support of the Washington State Supreme Court-appointed Access to Justice Board.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;"As a refugee to this country, I know what it feels like to be labeled as &lsquo;other&rsquo;. The term 'alien' is outdated, dehumanizing, and does not reflect how we speak about people today,&rdquo; said Rep. My-Linh Thai, the bill&rsquo;s prime sponsor. Thai added, &rdquo; Our laws should reflect who we are as a state. Washington stands for fairness, dignity and equal protection under the law and this bill is part of that ongoing work.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Supporters included the Washington State Access to Justice Board, the Association of Washington Assistant Attorneys General (WFSE Local 5297), the Washington State Pro Bono Council, NAACP Vancouver and numerous legal experts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;In an update to the law which revised &ldquo;oriental&rdquo; to &ldquo;asian&rdquo; in 2001, the fight for this bill&rsquo;s passage a quarter of a century later has been chillingly similar. Opposition asserted this terminology modernization was made to quell hurt feelings at the expense of legal clarity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;The term &lsquo;alien&rsquo; does not refer to any specific immigration status,&rdquo; said Elizabeth Fitzgearld, co-chair of the Undocumented Communities Committee. &ldquo;When it carries legal meaning, it is always accompanied by a modifier, &lsquo;alien offender,&rsquo; &lsquo;legal resident alien,&rsquo; &lsquo;nonimmigrant alien.&rsquo; This bill replaces a word that is, at best, an ambiguous synonym requiring constant context and, at worst, dehumanizing to Washingtonians without U.S. citizenship with its plain, objective equivalent: noncitizen.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Fellow co-chair Nicholas Mej&iacute;a agreed, noting that the bill preserves existing statutory structure while meaningfully improving clarity. &ldquo;&lsquo;Noncitizen&rsquo; is not less precise than &lsquo;alien&rsquo;, it is more precise. It states exactly what the statute intends to describe, without implication, without metaphor, and without requiring interpretation. From a governance standpoint, this is careful, restrained lawmaking.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:transparent; font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The legislation takes effect June 11, 2026, requiring state and local statutes and official documents enacted after that date to use updated terminology where appropriate, while preserving language required under federal law. It also provides state agencies with an expedited rulemaking process to update existing statutes and documents if the proposed rule only substitutes the term alien with the term noncitizen or other context-appropriate term but does not change the effect of the rule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Iris Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wanting to recognize women of achievement in Southwest Washington who exemplified leadership, philanthropy, and community service&lt;/em&gt;&nbsp;&lt;em&gt;was the inspiration for the Iris Awards in 1985. For&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;41&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;years, the Southwest Washington community has nominated outstanding women for recognition. The Iris Award is held to commemorate National Women&rsquo;s History Month, to recognize International Women&rsquo;s Day, and to honor volunteer efforts and community leadership of women in Clark County.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Greater Vancouver Chamber&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Vancouver&rsquo;s Poet: The Life and Works of Mary Barnard (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VANCOUVER, WA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt; &mdash; The Clark County Historical Museum will kick off &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Poetry Month&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt; with a special installment of its Speaker Series, featuring local literary historian Betty Bell. The program, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;Vancouver&rsquo;s Poet: The Life and Works of Mary Barnard,&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt; will explore the life and legacy of one of the Pacific Northwest&rsquo;s most accomplished yet understated literary figures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Mary Barnard, a Vancouver poet and translator, emerged as a distinctive voice in 20th century modernist poetry. Her work drew on both classical influences and the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, shaping a style known for its clarity, restraint, and vivid imagery. From her early years exploring the forests and beaches of the region to her studies at Reed College and her time among literary circles in New York City, Barnard forged a remarkable path in American poetry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The evening will be presented by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Betty Bell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;, a close personal friend of Barnard who later served as her literary executor. Drawing on personal memories as well as decades of research, Bell will offer a unique perspective on Barnard&rsquo;s life, creative process, and enduring legacy. The program will also explore Barnard&rsquo;s connections with literary figures such as Ezra Pound and her celebrated translation of Sappho, a work that remains widely regarded as a classic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Attendees will hear readings from Barnard&rsquo;s poetry and learn more about the personal and professional journey of a writer whose quiet brilliance continues to resonate with readers and scholars alike.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The program will be held at the Fort Vancouver Visitor Center. This Speaker Series event is made possible through the generous support of the Historic Preservation Commission, media sponsorship from The Columbian, and a partnership with the National Parks Service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon Historical Society Announces 2026 History Makers: Awards &amp; Dinner Set for October 4 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Portland, OR &mdash; &lt;/strong&gt;The Oregon Historical Society (OHS) is delighted to announce the 2026 Oregon History Maker honorees. First celebrated in 2009, the annual &lt;a href="https://www.ohs.org/support/history-makers.cfm"&gt;Oregon History Makers Awards &amp;amp; Dinner&lt;/a&gt; recognizes contemporary individuals and organizations that are positively shaping the history, culture, and landscape of Oregon. The event also supports the Oregon Historical Society&rsquo;s important work to collect, preserve, and interpret Oregon&rsquo;s past.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 2026 Oregon History Makers are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mel Brown&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Godfather of Oregon Jazz&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If one person embodies the story of jazz in Oregon, it is drummer and bandleader Mel Brown. Raised in Northeast Portland, he was mentored by seasoned musicians along Williams Avenue, where the city&rsquo;s vibrant jazz scene once flourished. Brown went on to tour nationally with Motown Records, performing with some of the biggest names in music. Returning home to find his community displaced, he dedicated himself to reinvigorating Portland&rsquo;s jazz scene. His drum shop, mentorship of other musicians, and nightly performances with multiple bands have helped cultivate the vibrant live music scene that exists today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ted Kulongoski&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Esteemed Public Servant&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No Oregonian has held as many positions of public trust as Ted Kulongoski. Over a distinguished career spanning all three branches of state government, he served as representative, senator, insurance commissioner, attorney general, supreme court justice, and governor. Known for intelligence, integrity, and bipartisan leadership, he advanced major reforms in workers&rsquo; compensation and juvenile justice while championing Oregon&rsquo;s veterans. A former U.S. Marine, Kulongoski attended the funeral of nearly every Oregon solider killed in Iraq and Afghanistan &mdash; an enduring testament to his sense of honor, duty, and respect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Patricia C. &ldquo;Patsy&rdquo; Smullin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Local Broadcasting Powerhouse&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Patsy Smullin is president and owner of California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc., the West&rsquo;s longest continuously operating independent broadcast organization. With decades of experience both in front of the camera and in administration, she is revered in regional and national media circles alike. In her program, &lt;em&gt;Up Close with Patsy Smullin&lt;/em&gt;, she has interviewed some of the most interesting public figures of our time. Despite her national profile, Smullin remains deeply committed to southern Oregon through philanthropy and civic leadership, and by ensuring that news stays grounded in the local community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Columbia Sportswear Company&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Iconic Outdoor Apparel Company &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From its beginning in 1938 as a hat wholesaler, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown into one of the world&rsquo;s largest and best-known outdoor apparel companies, with brands that include Columbia, Sorel, Mountain Hardwear, and prAna. Building its reputation on durable, high-performance gear designed to withstand the harshest elements, Columbia&rsquo;s innovative thermal technologies have even protected spacecraft on missions to the moon. Employing thousands at its global headquarters in Washington County, Columbia has long been one of Oregon&rsquo;s most admired companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Since 2009, the Oregon Historical Society has celebrated Oregon&rsquo;s living leaders, highlighting individuals and businesses who are part of the state&rsquo;s DNA,&rdquo; said OHS Boyle Family Executive Director Kerry Tymchuk. &ldquo;This year&rsquo;s honorees all exemplify the best of what our state has to offer, and the OHS Board of Trustees is delighted to present Mel Brown, Ted Kulongoski, Patsy Smullin, and Columbia Sportswear Company with their History Makers Awards.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Oregon Historical Society will celebrate the 2026 Oregon History Makers Awards &amp;amp; Dinner on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the Portland Art Museum. Table sponsorships and individual tickets are available. For more information, please visit &lt;a href="https://www.ohs.org/support/history-makers.cfm"&gt;ohs.org/historymakers&lt;/a&gt;. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Ally Huffman at 503.306.5226 or &lt;a href="mailto:ally.huffman@ohs.org"&gt;ally.huffman@ohs.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Oregon Historical Society&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more than 125 years, the Oregon Historical Society has served as the state&rsquo;s collective memory, preserving a vast collection of objects, photographs, maps, manuscript materials, books, films, and oral histories. Our research library, museum, digital platforms, educational programming, and historical journal make Oregon&rsquo;s history open and accessible to all. We exist because history is powerful, and because a history as deep and complex as Oregon&rsquo;s cannot be contained within a single story or point of view.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Sherwood Public Library is Bridging the Digital Divide for Vision &amp; Hearing-Impaired Patrons]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Sherwood Public Library is taking a tremendous step to help vision and hearing-impaired patrons of all ages to access technology and better utilize the resources of the Sherwood Public Library, a member of the Washington County Cooperative Library Services located at 22560 SW Pine St. Sherwood, Oregon 97140. Sherwood Library Foundation won a notable grant from the Network of the National Library of Medicine, Region 5 and the National Institutes of Health under an agreement with the University of Washington, to equip Sherwood Public Library with three computer workstations with specialized software and accessories for vision and hearing-impaired patrons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One workstation is a new professional-grade laptop with specialized software to create an accessible workstation for vision and hearing-impaired patrons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to the laptop, the grant also funds adaptive technology for two existing desktop computers, adaptive mice, large print-high contrast keyboards and a Nero Braille keyboard. As well, specialized JAWS software (a trusted screen reader) will be installed on three workstations. Also installed on all three workstations will be the TypeAbility typing program which interfaces with JAWS and helps visually impaired and one-handed typers use a standard keyboard. All workstations are operating on Windows 11, which includes many accessibility options.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Adrienne Doman Calkins, the manager of the Sherwood Public Library said: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m delighted and grateful to be able to add these resources to our library to better serve people with vision and hearing-impairments and increase access to digital tools and services everyone deserves to be able to use.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sherwood Public Library, a founding member of Washington County Cooperative Library Services since 1976, offers a locally curated collection of over 51,000 items. In addition to books, the library features a wide range of resources for all library patrons, including children, students, families and older adults.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Derek Sandell, President of the Tualatin Lions Club, which helps underserved people with vision and hearing issues throughout southern Washington County said: &ldquo;This is a great step towards more independence for the vision and hearing impaired population and is a tool that takes us another stop closer to keep the Lions promise to Helen Keller to be the &lsquo;Knights of the Blind&rsquo; in the fight against darkness.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sherwood Library Foundation (SHELF) enriches the resources and services of the Sherwood Public Library by complementing public funding with charitable giving. SHELF Board Member and Project Director, Madeline Robinette said: &ldquo;It is the mission of the Sherwood Library Foundation to create a more accessible and equitable space for all of our Sherwood citizens, and we are thrilled to bring this technology to the Sherwood Public Library as our inaugural project. Our next project, the ADA accessible meeting pod, is coming soon.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Donations can be made at &lt;a href="http://sherwoodlibraryfoundation.com/"&gt;sherwoodlibraryfoundation.com&lt;/a&gt;, or a check can be mailed to P.O. Box 44, Sherwood, OR 97140.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brad King, Secretary of the Tualatin Lions, said: &ldquo;This is a wonderful tool that helps even the field for vision and hearing-impaired people, particularly students who can learn and use this technology to help reach their potential. We hope the Lions and the Sherwood Public Library can work together to bring more technology and services to this population.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The staff and friends of the Sherwood Public Library look forward to seeing this new technology bridge the digital gap for vision and hearing-impaired clients.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Sherwood Public Library Hours are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sunday - 1:00PM - 5:00PM&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h3&gt;&lt;u&gt;MEDIA ADVISORY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
March 12, 2026&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TODAY: 'Save Our ER Docs' Rally at PeaceHealth&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday, March 12&lt;br /&gt;
3 - 5:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Speeches at 4:45 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
Intersection of MLK Blvd. and Cardinal Way in Springfield, OR&lt;br /&gt;
In front of PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center RiverBend&rsquo;s campus&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;WHAT: &lt;/strong&gt;Healthcare providers, elected officials, and community members are holding a rally in support of local emergency room doctors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PeaceHealth executives recently refused to renew its contract with the Eugene Emergency Physicians group whose members have cared for local families during medical emergencies for 35 years. PeaceHealth is attempting to outsource its emergency room care to a large, out-of-state medical group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHEN: &lt;/strong&gt;Thursday, March 12 from 3 - 5:30 p.m. Speakers will begin at approximately 4:45 p.m.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Healthcare workers and allies will be available for media comment during the event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHERE: &lt;/strong&gt;The intersection of MLK Blvd. and Cardinal Way in Springfield, OR.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
(In front of PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center RiverBend&ndash;3333 Riverbend Dr, Springfield, OR 97477)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHO:&lt;/strong&gt; Frontline nurses and medical staff from PeaceHealth Sacred Heart RiverBend, Eugene Emergency Physicians, firefighters, paramedics, elected officials, and community members.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHY: &lt;/strong&gt;Healthcare workers, elected leaders and community members are united in opposition to PeaceHealth&rsquo;s proposal to auction off emergency care to a corporate medical group from Georgia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Local doctors from Eugene Emergency Physicians have cared for and saved the lives of patients and families at PeaceHealth emergency rooms in Eugene, Springfield, Florence and Cottage Grove for more than three decades. They have won multiple awards from PeaceHealth and have earned the respect and admiration of their colleagues and community members.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Outsourcing our community&rsquo;s healthcare to an out-of-state corporate medicine group would be a costly mistake which will negatively impact providers, patients and the community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PeaceHealth&rsquo;s executives have faced intense scrutiny and widespread criticism of their outsourcing proposal with many sharing concerns the change could threaten community health and safety. Since the announcement, community members have roundly criticized the decision; medical providers and nurses have both held votes of no confidence in PeaceHealth&rsquo;s executives; and elected leaders have questioned the proposal's legality while calling on PeaceHealth to maintain its relationship with local emergency care providers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;Andrew Hoan, President and CEO of the Portland Metro Chamber and a Board Member of BBAO,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;added, &ldquo;BBAO is leading the way in advancing economic equity in&amp;nbsp;Oregon.&amp;nbsp;The launch of this Strategic Roadmap&amp;nbsp;represents&amp;nbsp;the continued commitment of BBAO&amp;nbsp;and partners&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;coordinated,&amp;nbsp;focused advocacy&amp;nbsp;for&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;expansion of&amp;nbsp;business opportunities&amp;nbsp;among&amp;nbsp;Black Oregonians.&amp;nbsp;The Portland Metro Chamber is in full&amp;nbsp;support&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;BBAO&rsquo;s advocacy for the&amp;nbsp;Black business community.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;BBAO&amp;nbsp;emerged&amp;nbsp;from a moment of national reckoning and has grown into a data-informed, policy-focused statewide champion for Black economic parity.&amp;nbsp;In 2020, Black leaders on the Portland Metro Chamber board published the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="Hyperlink SCXW15318782 BCX0" href="https://portlandmetrochamber.com/policy/black-economic-prosperity/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regional Black Economic Prosperity Agenda&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;which&amp;nbsp;laid&amp;nbsp;the groundwork for the establishment of BBAO.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;BBAO was officially launched in 2022 through a collaboration between the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;Portland Metro Chamber&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;NAMC-Oregon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;, with&amp;nbsp;nearly $1 million&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;initial&amp;nbsp;public, private, and philanthropic funding.&amp;nbsp;With strong leadership and deep partnerships with the broader business community, BBAO builds political power and expands economic opportunity for Black communities in Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;Black-owned businesses are essential drivers of Oregon&rsquo;s economy, community stability, and cultural vitality. Yet their contributions have long been constrained by structural barriers, including inequitable access to capital, contracting, and workforce pipelines, as well as public and private systems not designed to support Black entrepreneurs at scale. Despite these challenges, Black business owners across Oregon continue to lead with resilience, innovation, and vision.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px"&gt;BBAO&rsquo;s Strategic Roadmap will strengthen cross-sector&amp;nbsp;accountability and&amp;nbsp;help shape policies and partnerships that advance&amp;nbsp;equitable&amp;nbsp;economic outcomes for Black Oregonians, and for Oregon as a whole.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;Taking March&rsquo;s results together with timber sales in January and February, the total amount of revenue generated in the first quarter of 2026 was $25,047,695 from 94.4 million board feet sold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;The BLM manages 58 million acres of forests, including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.blm.gov/programs/natural-resources/forests-and-woodlands/oc-lands" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 94, 162);" target="_blank"&gt;2.4 million acres&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;in western Oregon of some of the most productive forests in the world, and is committed to supplying a reliable, secure, and resilient domestic supply of timber. BLM forestry supports economic security, reduces risks from wildfire, conserves fish and wildlife habitat, and decreases costs of energy production. Local communities rely on jobs that come from BLM forests, and timber from public land feeds local industry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;Each year, the BLM forestry program's sales support approximately 2,000 jobs nationally and generate more than $1 billion for local economies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;More than 20 percent of BLM-managed lands are forest and woodland ecosystems. The BLM ensures the health and resilience of these public forest lands as well as the availability of traditional forest products, such as timber. In fiscal year 2025, the BLM offered 301 million board feet of timber under new sales, good neighbor agreements, and stewardship contracts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;-BLM-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America&rsquo;s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Rural Fire Readiness applications now open! BLM supports local wildland firefighting (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; &amp;nbsp;The Bureau of Land Management Oregon/Washington, in partnership with the U.S. Wildland Fire Service, is now accepting applications for the Rural Fire Readiness program. The program enhances wildland firefighting safety and response across the region by providing critical training, equipment, and communication tools to local cooperators. The BLM is accepting applications until&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;April 30&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The RFR program supports rural partners who protect private, Tribal, state, and federal lands by providing resources such as wildland firefighting vehicles and specialized supplies. The BLM and USWFS help local agencies safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Collaborating with our rural partners is essential for effective wildfire response," said Larae Guillory, Fire Operations Specialist. "This program ensures those who are the first on the ground have the resources needed to protect their communities."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To qualify for equipment transfers, applicants must:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Maintain an existing cooperative fire response agreement with the BLM and/or USWFS.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Serve a rural community with wildland fire protection responsibilities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Operate near lands administered by the Department of the Interior, within a wildland-urban interface, or alongside an established Rangeland Fire Protection Association.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Respond to wildland fires in support of the USWFS as needed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Provide a clear benefit to the Department of the Interior&rsquo;s land management goals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Apply&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Applications are available online and in print. Cooperators are highly encouraged to consult with their local USWFS staff before applying to ensure all requirements are met.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Submit via the&amp;nbsp;Rural Fire Readiness Application page.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By Mail/In-Person:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Submit printed PDF applications to the USWFS staff at your local BLM office.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All submissions will be reviewed by local staff following the April 30 deadline. For more information or to find a local office, contact&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Larae Guillory&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;lguillory@blm.gov&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;or visit the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.blm.gov/programs/public-safety-and-fire/fire-and-aviation/regional-info/oregon-washington/rfr"&gt;Rural Fire Readiness program website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NOTE: Media interested in interviewing a USWFS expert in wildland fire and the RFR please reach out to the media contact above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-BLM-&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation.

&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Media hotline: 503-813-6018&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rate adjustments for Oregon residential customers begin April 1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (March 31, 2026) &mdash; Pacific Power residential customers in Oregon will see a rate increase, approved by the Oregon Public Utility Commission. These rate increases are taking effect on April 1, 2026, in compliance with HB 3179, which requires that rate increases not take effect during winter months when bills are highest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The adjustment reflects multiple items, including the 2024 Power Cost Adjustment Mechanism (PCAM), the Renewable Adjustment Clause (RAC) and a legislatively mandated update to the Low Income Bill Payment Assistance Fund. The PCAM is an annual update that aligns 2024 actual power costs which include fuel and power purchased on the wholesale market and other expenses, with the costs previously included in rates, so customers either receive a credit or pay the difference. The RAC allows the company to recover costs associated with building or acquiring renewable energy facilities consistent with state clean energy goals. The combined rate also includes increased support for the Energy Trust of Oregon&rsquo;s energy-efficiency programs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the combined filings, the impact for the residential customer is an approximately 2.9% increase, or $4.29 per month for the typical residential customer. Customers in Albany, Oregon, can expect an average increase of about 4.1%, or $5.64, per month. The additional increase is related is to a street remodeling project approved by the city of Albany, which asked the company to bury power lines underground.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key drivers for the changes include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Continued investments in low-cost renewable energy resources.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Increased power costs related to higher fuel and energy prices, coal supply issues, conversion to natural gas at the Jim Bridger plant, the removal of Klamath River hydro facilities and increased power demand during the January 2024 ice storm event.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:.375in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pacific Power works hard to mitigate the impacts of cost increases on our customers. The company offers the Oregon Low Income Discount Program,&amp;nbsp;which is helping over&amp;nbsp;70,000&amp;nbsp;of our most vulnerable customers across the state lower their power bills from 20% to&amp;nbsp;80%, depending on their income. More information is available at &lt;a href="https://www.pacificpower.net/my-account/payments/bill-payment-assistance/oregon-low-income-discount-program.html"&gt;PacificPower.net/LID&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;Customers can also access a variety of bill support programs&amp;nbsp;through local community action agencies, including the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ohcs/energy-weatherization/Pages/utility-bill-payment-assistance.aspx"&gt;Oregon Energy Fund&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ohcs/energy-weatherization/pages/index.aspx"&gt;Oregon Energy Assistance Program&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ohcs/energy-weatherization/pages/index.aspx"&gt;Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pacific Power also offers a variety of ways to budget for energy expenses, including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pacificpower.net/savings-energy-choices/time-of-use.html"&gt;time of use&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pacificpower.net/my-account/billing-options/equal-pay.html"&gt;equal pay&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;billing options, and energy use tracking offered online and through the company&rsquo;s mobile app. In partnership with Energy Trust of Oregon, Pacific Power customers can access information and rebates to help improve their energy efficiency and lower their bills. Customers can call 1-888-221-7070 to discuss options.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (March 19, 2026) &mdash; PacifiCorp announced today that it has executed nonbinding term sheets outlining transactions with three separate Oregon electric cooperatives to sell its distribution assets in Wallowa County, Monroe and Lakeview, Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under the agreements, PacifiCorp plans to transfer its distribution assets serving 5,514 residential, commercial and irrigation customers in Wallowa County to Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative; assets serving 1,162 residential, commercial and irrigation customers in the Monroe area to Blachly-Lane Electric Cooperative; and assets serving 2,228 customers in the Lakeview area to Surprise Valley Electrification Corporation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;These agreements represent the company&rsquo;s ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial position and simplify operations to ensure the continued delivery of safe, reliable electricity to our customers,&rdquo; said Ryan Flynn, president, Pacific Power. &ldquo;Each of the utilities involved in these transactions are experienced operators committed to the communities they serve, and we are confident this transition will be seamless for our customers in these areas.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once definitive agreements are negotiated and executed, these transactions are subject to regulatory approval and could take up to 12 months to complete. During this period, PacifiCorp will continue to provide quality service and customer care to these communities.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Construction Starts This Month on New Inclusive Playground at Riverfront Park (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Riverfront Park playground closes for replacement April 13.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Local contractor and vendor help save on project costs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &ndash; &lt;/strong&gt;Construction is set to begin this month on a new, larger and more inclusive playground at Riverfront Park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The playground is designed to be inclusive with all sorts of features that make it so kids of all abilities can come together, socialize and play,&rdquo; said Rob Romanek, park planner and project coordinator.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The playground will close on Monday, April 13, and contractors will put up a construction fence around the area, including some of the parking spaces in the south parking lot for use as a staging area. The restrooms near the playground will also be closed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Completion of the new playground is expected by mid- to late summer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community Input Helped Shape Design&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;City staff reached out to families who need inclusive options and based design decisions on their feedback. Special features include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A quieter, low-sensory zone called the Eagle&rsquo;s nest&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;An all-inclusive accessible spinner&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A music station&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Fencing around the entire playground for families that need fully enclosed play space&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Rolling bars on one of the slides and specialized synthetic grass that safely reduces static electricity, helping prevent interference with devices like cochlear implants&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The design also prioritizes accessibility and comfort for families and caregivers. Smooth paved pathways &ndash; including an extra-wide bridge &ndash; allow everyone to reach the second level of the main play structure. Multiple seating options are provided throughout the playground for caregivers, along with attractive landscaping and additional shade trees planted around the play area to create a welcoming and comfortable environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The playground&rsquo;s theme centers on wildlife and nature. For example, a climbing structure made of logs will be called the Beaver Dam. The playground will also feature a rock-scramble element that uses real boulders. The synthetic grass will have color variations intended to depict a watershed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The playground&rsquo;s entryway will feature circles on the pavement that are riddles. They feature animal motifs and can show visitors where in the playground they can find the image again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new playground will be bigger and will be separated from park paths, minimizing user conflicts. Instead, a new 12-foot-wide path will arc around the playground through the south part of the South Meadow. The path will also encompass a tree-filled area that will provide shade for informal picnics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are taking care to protect and preserve the park&rsquo;s existing trees. Only one tree will need to be removed to allow for the playground expansion, and every effort is being made to minimize impacts on other park trees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Local Vendors and Contractors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The City has sourced much of the new commercial-grade playground equipment from a Salem vendor, Park N Play Northwest. This company is providing new swings, a three-tier play structure and a &ldquo;bamboo forest&rdquo; of metal poles to climb on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a gift to their Salem community, Park N Play Northwest offered a special discount of more than $46,500 on the large custom tower, helping make this playground project possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The playground will also include equipment sourced from four other vendors representing a total of six manufacturers. The City usually uses equipment from a single manufacturer when upgrading a park playground. In this case, as part of the park known as &ldquo;Salem&rsquo;s Living Room,&rdquo; staff used multiple sources to assure that the equipment provided maximum value and function for the people who are going to use it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The general contractor, Dalke Construction, is also a Salem firm. At less than $2.4 million, Dalke&rsquo;s low bid is about $600,000 less than the City&rsquo;s final $3 million construction cost estimate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The total playground project cost, including design, project management and construction on the new park path, is expected to be about $2,532,000. It is funded through park system development charges, the 2022 Safety and Livability Bond and a $770,000 grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electrical System Upgrade&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Coordinating with work on the playground project, the City is upgrading the park&rsquo;s electrical system. The upgrade has been planned for a long time. Cost of the electrical project is approximately $896,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The upgrades will serve the original park amphitheater, the north meadow and the south meadow. It will replace the distribution system that serves events such as World Beat and the holiday lighting display. The new electrical panels will be on small pedestals where City staff and event organizers can more easily plug in equipment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coordination at Bush&rsquo;s Crooked House Playground&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Crooked House playground at Bush&rsquo;s Pasture Park will also be closed part of the time that Riverfront Park is closed. The closure will allow for replacement of the playground surface with synthetic grass similar to the material being installed at Riverfront Park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Playgrounds at Bush&rsquo;s Pasture Park (Lower Leffelle, near Phillips&rsquo; Field), McKay Park, Orchard Heights Park, River Road Park, Wallace Marine Park, and Woodmansee Park will remain open. In addition, you can find a neighborhood park with a playground near you from our &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/community/things-to-do/parks/find-a-park/-npage-2"&gt;Find a Park&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[City of Portland announces launch of Portland rides e-bike rebate program to expand clean, affordable transportation to low-income households]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h3 style="color:#aaa;font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;$20 Million Investment Will Provide Over 6,000 Standard, Cargo and Adaptive E-Bikes through December 2029&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (April 6, 2026)&lt;/strong&gt; -- The &lt;a href="https://www.portland.gov/bps/cleanenergy"&gt;Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund&lt;/a&gt; (PCEF) is excited to announce that applications will open April 6, 2026 for its E-Bike Rebate Program, &lt;a href="https://portlandebikerebate.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Portland Rides&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This new initiative will provide an instant discount rebate to eligible residents to purchase standard, cargo, and adaptive e-bikes for personal use. The citywide program will expand access to clean, affordable, and reliable transportation through a $20 million investment over five years, prioritizing low-income Portlanders and frontline communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Portland has a deeply rooted bike culture and has led the nation with innovative bike transportation infrastructures,&rdquo; said PCEF Transportation Decarbonization Program Manager Seetha Ream-Rao. &ldquo;We continue to support our residents with access to convenient and affordable transportation options. This new e-bike rebate program will make commuting more affordable for low-income households, support healthier communities, improve transportation access and help the city reduce greenhouse gas emissions.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The program officially kicks off April 6, 2026, with online applications open for Class 1 and 2 Standard and Class 1 and 2 Cargo e-bikes, followed by the application opening for adaptive e-bikes on April 20 (customized for riders with disabilities and/or limited mobility). This first release includes discounts up to $1,600 for Standard e-bikes, up to $2,350 for Cargo e-bikes specifically designed to carry heavier loads or additional passengers and up to $300 for essential accessories like helmets, locks, and lights. Eligible Portlanders who are selected via automated random selection will receive an email with details to redeem their e-bike rebate and an accessories rebate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There will also be an adaptive e-bike rebate option for those who have a disability and cannot have their needs met by a standard or cargo e-bike.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The 2026 program aims to provide:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Equitable distribution of discounted e-bikes to eligible Portlanders&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Accessories that enhance safety, comfort, and resiliency of new e-bike riders&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;E-bike education and safety training&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eligible participants must be at or below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). The first round of applications will be accepted online at &lt;a href="http://www.portlandebikerebate.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.portlandebikerebate.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; between April 6 and July 24, 2026. PCEF staff will be in person on April 11, at Parkrose Middle School from 12-3 p.m. at the &lt;a href="https://www.portland.gov/sustainability/events/2026/4/11/earth-motion-earth-day-2026"&gt;EV Tailgate Party Powered by PCEF Earth Day&lt;/a&gt; event. Participants can test ride e-bikes and submit their application in person with staff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fall 2025 Pilot Program at PCC a Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PCEF kicked off the Portland Rides rebate program with a soft launch last September for Portland Community College (PCC) students from low-income communities. &ldquo;The 2025 e-bike pilot launch at PCC was a huge success providing more than 100 eligible students with e-bikes, stimulating local bike shop business, and showing strong community demand for expanded access to clean, affordable transportation,&rdquo; said Seetha Ream-Rao from PCEF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supporting Local Bike Retailers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To support Portland Rides, a variety of local bike shops in Portland will accept the rebates and help eligible participants choose the right e-bike. Find a list of approved retailers on the program website. For more information about upcoming &ldquo;Try an E-Bike&rdquo; events in the community, visit &lt;a href="http://www.portlandebikerebate.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;www.portlandebikerebate.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Cryptosporidium Monitoring Update: Detections from routine monitoring in the Bull Run. Customers do not need to take any additional precautions at this time.]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk138148745"&gt;Since 2017, the Portland Water Bureau has detected low levels of &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; from routine monitoring of source water. The Portland Water Bureau received results from ongoing monitoring from the Bull Run Watershed intake for &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium,&lt;/em&gt; a potentially disease-causing microorganism. In the 50 liters sampled each day from March 29 to April 1, 2026, two &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; oocysts were detected in the sample collected on March 30 and one oocyst was detected in the sample collected on March 31. &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; was not detected in the sample collected on March 29 or April 1. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk138148864"&gt;Prior to this detection, &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; was last detected from the Bull Run drinking water source on March 25, 2026.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Bull Run watershed is Portland&rsquo;s primary source of drinking water. The Portland Water Bureau does not currently treat for &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt;, but is required to do so under drinking water regulations. Portland is working to install filtration by September 30, 2027 under a compliance schedule with the Oregon Health Authority. In the meantime, Portland Water Bureau is implementing interim measures such as watershed protection and additional monitoring to protect public health. Consultation with public health officials has concluded that at this time, customers do not need to take any additional precautions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Exposure to &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; can cause cryptosporidiosis, a serious illness. Symptoms can include diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomach pain. People with healthy immune systems recover without medical treatment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with severely weakened immune systems are at risk for more serious disease. Symptoms may be more severe and could lead to serious or life-threatening illness. Examples of people with weakened immune systems include those with AIDS, those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system, and cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppressive drugs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Environmental Protection Agency advises that customers who are immunocompromised and receive their drinking water from the Bull Run Watershed consult with their healthcare professional about the safety of drinking the tap water. The Portland Water Bureau and Burlington, City of Gresham, City of Sandy, City of Tualatin, Green Valley, GNR, Hideaway Hills, Lake Grove, Lorna Domestic Water, Lusted, Palatine Hill, Pleasant Home, Raleigh, Rockwood, Skyview Acres, Tualatin Valley, Two Rivers, Valley View and West Slope Water Districts receive all or part of their drinking water supply from Bull Run. To learn if your drinking water comes from Bull Run, please contact your local drinking water provider.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The public and the media are encouraged to view all sampling results posted to the City&rsquo;s website at portland.gov/water/CryptoResults.

				<headline><![CDATA[Salem Safety and Livability Bond Sale Favored by Market]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; In a competitive bid, on March 24 the City of Salem received 13 bids for its tax exempt series ($94.5 million) and six bids for the taxable series ($5.5 million) of General Obligation bonds. The all-in true interest cost for the combined sale was 4.52 percent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Similar to the sale of a home, the bond sale closes two to four weeks after agreement to terms is reached. The City&rsquo;s bond sale closes April 7. At closing, the City is expecting approximately $3 million in premium, or additional, funding.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These funds will be available to support completion of the bond projects as costs may continue to increase over the course of the next several years. If costs lower, the premium can be used within the scope of the approved bond measure for enhancing of projects or completion of additional applicable projects.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the second of three bonds sales that support &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/government/shaping-salem-s-future/safety-and-livability-bond"&gt;Salem&rsquo;s safety and livability measure&lt;/a&gt;, passed by voters in November 2022. The City plans to issue one more bond sales within the next few years as part of the 10-year project plan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to fire trucks and equipment, the bond includes investments in Salem&rsquo;s streets, sidewalks, parks, two new fire stations to improve responses times, funds for affordable housing, purchase of sites for affordable housing, branch libraries, cybersecurity improvements to protect City operations and Civic Center seismic improvements.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through the payoff of existing debt and refinancing opportunities, the sale of these bonds is not expected to increase Salem&rsquo;s bond tax rate above $1.20/$1,000 of assessed value.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The projects supported by Safety and Livability Bond are overseen by a community oversight committee. The &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/government/boards-commissions/bond-oversight-steering-committee"&gt;Bond Oversight Steering Committee&lt;/a&gt; meets monthly to hear updates and make recommendations on bond projects. Membership of the committee includes Mayor Julie Hoy, Councilors Linda Nishioka and Micki Varney, and community members Bob Cortright and Mike Herron. Councilor Mai Vang serves as an alternate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. &ndash; The popular Thompson Elk statue &ndash; cleaned, polished and ready to shine &ndash; is scheduled to return to a new and improved granite fountain pedestal in mid-April. The City of Portland, Portland Parks Foundation and Regional Arts &amp;amp; Culture Council welcome all to join a &lt;a href="https://www.portland.gov/elk-homecoming"&gt;community celebration&lt;/a&gt; on Sunday, April 12.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost: &lt;/strong&gt;Free! Come one, come all and celebrate the Thompson Elk Fountain!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Power of Partnership&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fountain&rsquo;s long-awaited return is the result of a coordinated, citywide effort. The statue was removed in July 2020 after fires damaged the fountain&rsquo;s stone base and an inspection found the bronze elk was not securely attached, creating a fall risk. In the past few years, City and local partners worked together to ensure an improved return of this Portland icon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Portland Water Bureau led the project team to repair and restore the historic fountain and bring it back into service. The Office of Arts and Culture oversaw the elk as part of Portland&rsquo;s public art collection, with the Regional Arts and Culture Council caring for and safeguarding the statue during restoration. The Portland Parks Foundation helped launch the project by funding early planning and design, moving the restoration from concept to construction. The Portland Bureau of Transportation partnered on the project by adjusting the striping of SW Main Street around the fountain, improving clearance for TriMet buses, people driving, and people biking. The City&rsquo;s Procurement Office worked to ensure that the selected contractors had the appropriate experience in historic restoration to undertake this important work. Moving forward the fountain will be maintained by Portland Parks and Recreation. Since the statue&rsquo;s removal in 2020, the Portland Parks &amp;amp; Recreation Fountain Maintenance Team has worked in close partnership with the Portland Water Bureau, contributing to planning efforts, design-build discussions, and serving as subject matter experts on the fountain&rsquo;s mechanical and lighting systems. The Portland Parks &amp;amp; Recreation Fountain Maintenance Team will be working alongside the construction team during fountain testing, before ultimately resuming responsibility for the site&rsquo;s daily care and long-term maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Thompson Elk Statue has triumphantly returned to a resurgent downtown Portland,&rdquo; said Mayor Keith Wilson. &ldquo;I want to thank the many City staff, particularly the Portland Water Bureau, the Portland Parks Foundation, and other partners whose work made the return possible. This landmark is part of Portland&rsquo;s story, the long-awaited rededication represents a milestone in the rebuilding, restoration, and revitalization of our beautiful city.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Thompson Elk's return represents the kind of thoughtful collaboration that makes Portland stronger," said deputy city administrator for public works Priya Dhanapal. "Our bureaus were proud to help lead this effort alongside community partners to bring back a beloved landmark that connects us to Portland's history, public spaces, and future. We are excited to see it take its rightful place in the heart of our city for generations to come."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Elk has inspired Portlanders and visitors for generations, and we invite you to join us in welcoming the statue home to its original location for its next 100 years,&rdquo; said Darion Jones, assistant director of the Office of Arts &amp;amp; Culture. &ldquo;This project represents years of collaboration and partnership across the city and with our partners, and I am so proud to bring the Thompson Elk back home to Downtown alongside the Water Bureau, the Regional Arts &amp;amp; Culture Council, the Portland Parks Foundation and others.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The restored Thompson Elk Fountain strikes a balance between Portland&rsquo;s traditional past and its sustainable future. Granite for the fountain base was sourced from the original quarry in Barre, Vermont &ndash; a nod to the history. Modern engineering features, like a recirculating water-efficient pump and stronger anchoring of the bronze statue will make the feature more resilient in the decades ahead.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The return of the Elk Fountain is a testament to the power of partnership. Portland Parks Foundation&rsquo;s initial advisory team helped chart the path forward, Architectural Resources Group brought nationally recognized preservation expertise to the design, and former City leaders made the project possible by prioritizing it in the budget.&amp;nbsp; Portland Water Bureau carried the work forward with care, alongside the construction team led by Cedar Mills Construction and the extraordinary stone restoration by Pioneer Waterproofing. With Office of Arts &amp;amp; Culture and Regional Arts &amp;amp; Culture Council caring for and restoring the statue to its perch and 65 civic patrons contributing gifts ranging from $10 to $50,000 to expedite its return by as much as 18 months, this effort reflects the shared commitment of public agencies, preservation experts, and community members to bringing this beloved Portland landmark back to life.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;As the caretakers of the elk statue for the past 30 years, we at the Regional Arts and Culture Council have been looking forward to its reinstallation for the past five years, said RACC Director of Partnerships and Programs Kristin Law Calhoun. &ldquo;We have been honored with this role and we are grateful and excited to be part of this new partnership to bring this iconic statue bridging the past and the present back to all Portlanders.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Community in Action: Police Cruisers &ldquo;Crammed&rdquo; with Snacks to Benefit Local Students (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 28, 2026, the Battle Ground Police Department partnered with the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and the Battle Ground Education Foundation to host the inaugural &lt;em&gt;Cram the Cruiser&lt;/em&gt; event at the Battle Ground Fred Meyer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The community showed up in a big way. Thanks to their generosity, nearly 8,500 individual snack items were donated to support student food pantries at Battle Ground High School and Prairie High School&mdash;programs led by School Resource Officer Phil Anderson and Deputy Chelsea Quiggle. The overwhelming volume of donations filled both patrol vehicles and required multiple trips to transport.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These school-based pantries, including BGHS&rsquo;s &ldquo;Tiger&rsquo;s Table,&rdquo; are designed to ensure students have access to quick, nutritious snacks during the school day while also creating opportunities for positive, everyday interactions with law enforcement. What started as a small, officer-led effort has grown into a meaningful, community-supported program that continues to strengthen connections with students.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Beyond the donations, the event created valuable opportunities for officers and deputies to engage with students, families and community members. The Battle Ground Police Department was also grateful for the support from Read Northwest, Fire District 3, local elected officials, and members of the Pacific Youth Cheerleading organization, who helped make the event a success.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Battle Ground Police Department extends its sincere appreciation to the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, Battle Ground Public Schools, and the Battle Ground Education Foundation for their continued partnership and commitment to students.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Together, this community effort is making a difference, one conversation, one snack, and one relationship at a time.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Downtown Salem Parking Structure Revitalization Project to Begin April 6 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location: &lt;/strong&gt;538 Liberty St. NE, Downtown Salem&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start Date: &lt;/strong&gt;April 6, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Completion Date: &lt;/strong&gt;November 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; The Marion parking structure is undergoing a revitalization to improve safety, visibility and usability. These updates aim to create a more welcoming and safer environment for everyone who uses the facility. The project will reduce facility maintenance costs, enhance the structure&rsquo;s openness and encourage increased use, especially during evening hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This project supports downtown Salem&rsquo;s growth by improving infrastructure that serves residents, visitors and businesses while prioritizing safety and accessibility.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Improvements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project includes several significant updates to the parking structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Stairwells:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The stairs will be replaced and the walls around the stairs will be removed to allow users to clearly see who is entering and exiting the building.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Overhead Roof Structures:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Overhead roof structures will be added above each staircase entrance to provide weather protection and highlight the entrances.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transparent Ground Floor Walls:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The solid walls on the ground floor that block visibility will be replaced with perforated metal panels. These panels will screen parked cars while improving visibility and transparency.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Updated Features: &lt;/strong&gt;New signage and architectural features will be added to the exterior fa&ccedil;ade to update and improve the aesthetics.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upgraded Lighting:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Exterior lighting will be updated to increase visibility and encourage use during nighttime hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to Expect During Construction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The revitalization project has been carefully planned to minimize disruptions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Traffic Control Measures:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Signed traffic control measures will be in place throughout the project to ensure safety.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phased Construction:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Work will be completed in phases, focusing on one corner of the structure at a time. This will allow parts of the parking structure to remain open for public use.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Permit and Accessible Parking:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Permit parking and accessible (ADA) parking will still be available, but their locations may be adjusted during construction. Please look for signage indicating the location of designated permit parking spaces.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visitor Parking:&lt;/strong&gt; Visitor parking spaces will still be available during construction. Please look for signage indicating available parking areas.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mall Access:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The skybridge entrance to the Salem Center Mall will remain open.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notices and Updates:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Signs will be posted throughout the facility to inform users about closed parking areas, elevators and stairwells.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Night Work Schedule and Notifications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Limited night work is expected during the project to accommodate lane closures required by the City of Salem Traffic Engineering Division. The scheduled closures are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High Street NE&lt;/strong&gt;: May 26 through June 1&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liberty Street NE&lt;/strong&gt;: September 14 through September 18&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Night work will take place between&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;9 p.m. and 5 a.m.&lt;/strong&gt; A Sound Permit will be obtained for these activities. Residents and businesses near the parking structure will receive a separate notice with details about the Sound Permit and any potential impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn More&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This project is funded by Riverfront Downtown Urban Renewal funds. The construction contract has been awarded to PCL Construction Services LLC.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CORRECTION:&amp;nbsp; Smith was contacted at his place of employment, not&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;'with contact at his place of employment'&lt;/em&gt;, as stated in error in the original release.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;###&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On March 27, 2026, at approximately 6:30am, the Battle Ground Police Department, with assistance from the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, arrested Michael T. Smith (46) in connection with a fatal collision that occurred in 2025.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The arrest stems from a two-car collision that occurred on March 19, 2025, at approximately 2:12pm, near the 100 block of SW 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered that two occupants of Kia Soul&ndash; an adult male (driver) and an adult female (passenger)&ndash; had sustained significant injuries and were transported by ambulance to an area hospital.&amp;nbsp; Sadly, the passenger was pronounced deceased at the hospital at 3:37pm that afternoon.&amp;nbsp; The driver was treated for serious injuries and fortunately survived.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Smith, the driver of the second vehicle involved in the collision, was evaluated by medical personnel at the scene and was relatively unharmed.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Due to the severity of the injuries resulting from the collision, deputies from the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and the Vancouver Police Department Traffic Units were brought in to assist with the investigation.&amp;nbsp; Collision analysis determined that Smith&rsquo;s vehicle was traveling significantly above the posted speed limit when it struck the Kia as it entered SW 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Avenue from a private driveway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In March 2026, investigators received laboratory results from the analysis of a blood sample obtained from Smith on the day of the collision, giving investigators probable case for the arrest.&amp;nbsp; Smith was contacted at his place of employment in the Hazel Dell area and taken into custody without incident.&amp;nbsp; He was booked into the Clark County Jail on charges of Vehicular Homicide and Vehicular Assault.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Battle Ground Police Department is grateful to our partners at the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office and the Vancouver Police Department for their assistance with this investigation and safe apprehension of the suspect.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Cryptosporidium Monitoring Update: Detections from routine monitoring in the Bull Run. Customers do not need to take any additional precautions at this time.]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk138148745"&gt;Since 2017, the Portland Water Bureau has detected low levels of &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; from routine monitoring of source water. The Portland Water Bureau received results from ongoing monitoring from the Bull Run Watershed intake for &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium,&lt;/em&gt; a potentially disease-causing microorganism. In the 50 liters sampled each day from March 22 to March 25, 2026, one &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; oocyst was detected in each of the samples collected on March 22, March 23, and March 25. &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; was not detected in the sample collected on March 24. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="_Hlk138148864"&gt;Prior to this detection, &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; was last detected from the Bull Run drinking water source on March 17, 2026.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Bull Run watershed is Portland&rsquo;s primary source of drinking water. The Portland Water Bureau does not currently treat for &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt;, but is required to do so under drinking water regulations. Portland is working to install filtration by September 30, 2027 under a compliance schedule with the Oregon Health Authority. In the meantime, Portland Water Bureau is implementing interim measures such as watershed protection and additional monitoring to protect public health. Consultation with public health officials has concluded that at this time, customers do not need to take any additional precautions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Exposure to &lt;em&gt;Cryptosporidium&lt;/em&gt; can cause cryptosporidiosis, a serious illness. Symptoms can include diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomach pain. People with healthy immune systems recover without medical treatment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with severely weakened immune systems are at risk for more serious disease. Symptoms may be more severe and could lead to serious or life-threatening illness. Examples of people with weakened immune systems include those with AIDS, those with inherited diseases that affect the immune system, and cancer and transplant patients who are taking certain immunosuppressive drugs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Environmental Protection Agency advises that customers who are immunocompromised and receive their drinking water from the Bull Run Watershed consult with their healthcare professional about the safety of drinking the tap water. The Portland Water Bureau and Burlington, City of Gresham, City of Sandy, City of Tualatin, Green Valley, GNR, Hideaway Hills, Lake Grove, Lorna Domestic Water, Lusted, Palatine Hill, Pleasant Home, Raleigh, Rockwood, Skyview Acres, Tualatin Valley, Two Rivers, Valley View and West Slope Water Districts receive all or part of their drinking water supply from Bull Run. To learn if your drinking water comes from Bull Run, please contact your local drinking water provider.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The public and the media are encouraged to view all sampling results posted to the City&rsquo;s website at portland.gov/water/CryptoResults. The bureau will notify the media and public immediately should further test results indicate a risk to public health and precautions are necessary.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;br /&gt;
Date: March 26, 2026&lt;br /&gt;
Contact: Suzanne Harold, Astoria Public Library Director&lt;br /&gt;
sharold@astoria.gov 503-440-5415&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
North Coast Food Web partners with Astoria Public Library, and OSU Extension to provide food business items to Astoria&rsquo;s new Library of Things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Astoria, OR &ndash; North Coast Food Web celebrates the opening of Astoria Public Library&rsquo;s new Library of Things and the beginning of growing season with a Community Seed Swap March 29th 12-4pm at the Lower Columbia Preservation Society in downtown Astoria.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Library of Things are collections of items that can be checked out from a library just like a book, providing library patrons with free equipment rentals for limited time periods. In the case of food preservation equipment, this lowers the cost of entry into commercial food production substantially and also allows for more people to preserve their own food at home. With the foundational support from the Autzen Foundation, North Coast Food Web is able to provide $5,000 worth of equipment to this new community resource.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
OSU Extension, another partner in this project, collaborates with public libraries across the state of Oregon, facilitating food preservation-focused Library of Things collections. This will be the first Library of Things resource in Clatsop County to provide food business support equipment, and will have equipment that can be used to support clamming, fishing, baking, canning, fermenting, fruit processing, and dehydrating efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To learn more about the North Coast Food Web, visit https://www.northcoastfoodweb.org/ or contact Jesse Jones, Executive Director, at jesse@northcoastfoodweb.org or 503-468-0921.&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; At about 2:50 p.m. March 19, a leakage of untreated sewage into Pringle Creek occurred in the 600 block of Church Street SE. The incident was resolved at 5:34 p.m. after crew members located and repaired a leak in a 42-inch sewer pipe that runs horizontally under a bridge. About 165 gallons of untreated sewage were spilled.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To protect public health, signs have been posted advising residents to avoid contact with the water in Pringle Creek due to potentially elevated bacteria levels. Water quality testing is underway and will continue until results confirm the issue has been resolved. Any bacteria introduced into the creek should naturally flush out within the next few days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you notice an overflowing sewer manhole or want to report a spill, please contact the Public Works Dispatch Center at 503-588-6311.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can help prevent sewer backups and overflows by keeping fats, oils, rags and grease out of the sewer system. Learn more about preventing sanitary sewer overflows and the City of Salem&rsquo;s efforts to reduce these events by visiting &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/community/household/water-utilities/wastewater/how-to-prevent-sewer-back-up"&gt;https://www.cityofsalem.net/community/household/water-utilities/wastewater/how-to-prevent-sewer-back-up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Celebrate Qing Ming Festival at Salem Pioneer Cemetery April 4]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; The community is invited to attend Salem&rsquo;s 8th annual celebration of the Chinese Qing Ming Festival, also known as the Clear and Bright Festival, at Salem Pioneer Cemetery on April 4 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This traditional Chinese festival honors ancestors while welcoming the arrival of spring.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Qing Ming Festival has deep historical roots in Salem. In 2018, a Chinese funerary table (shrine) was uncovered at Salem Pioneer Cemetery, revealing that the local Chinese community had been observing this festival as far back as the 1800s. During these early celebrations, graves were cleaned and decorated with flowers. Families burned symbolic items, such as money and clothing, to provide for their ancestors in the afterlife. Candles were lit, and food and flowers were placed on altars to honor the departed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to Expect at the Celebration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
By attending this event, participants can learn about the rich heritage of Salem&rsquo;s Chinese community and their enduring cultural traditions. This celebration fosters understanding, respect and appreciation for the diverse history of Salem and its residents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The April 4 event will feature:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A proclamation by Salem Mayor Julie Hoy&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Traditional Chinese music and poetry performed by Willamette University students&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;A presentation by Dr. Russell Low about Salem&rsquo;s Chinese community and the significance of Qing Ming traditions&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Qing Ming offerings, including the lighting of a burner for Joss paper and the placement of Joss sticks and flowers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Significance of the Qing Ming Festival&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Qing Ming Festival is an important cultural tradition that connects Salem&rsquo;s present-day community to its historical roots. It highlights the contributions of Chinese immigrants to the city&rsquo;s history and preserves the memory of their customs and practices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Understanding Qing Ming Traditions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
During Qing Ming, families traditionally clean the tombs of their ancestors and make offerings of tea, wine and food. Burning paper items, such as symbolic money, ensures that ancestors have the resources they need in the afterlife. These practices reflect the importance of honoring and caring for one&rsquo;s ancestors, a central value in Chinese funerary culture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Chinese immigrants began arriving in America in the 1850s, they maintained these traditions. Many hoped to have their remains returned to China after death. Typically, remains were buried for seven to 10 years before being exhumed and shipped back to China. However, some individuals, including women and children, remain buried in the Chinese section of Salem Pioneer Cemetery due to financial or logistical challenges faced by their families.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reviving a Historic Tradition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The modern interpretation of the Qing Ming ceremony in Salem began in 2018, following the discovery of the funerary slab during archaeological excavations. This revival was made possible through collaboration between several organizations, including the City of Salem, Friends of the Pioneer Cemetery, Oregon State Historic Preservation Office, CCBA Portland, Willamette University, the Chinese Shrine Advisory Committee, Rick Hilts and City View Cemetery and Raymond Lin of the Hoy Yin Association.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn More&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For more information about the Qing Ming Festival, visit the &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/community/things-to-do/history/annual-chinese-qing-ming-festival"&gt;Annual Chinese Qing Ming Festival web page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Vancouver Fire Department honors firefighters, community members at annual awards ceremony (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, Wash. &ndash; On March 11, the Vancouver Fire Department recognized firefighters, City employees and community members for acts of courage, lifesaving care and outstanding service during its annual Vancouver Fire Awards ceremony.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;These awards recognize moments when people chose to act, often in the most difficult and dangerous circumstances,&rdquo; said Fire Chief John &ldquo;JD&rdquo; Drake. &ldquo;Whether it&rsquo;s a firefighter entering cold water to rescue someone, a citizen helping a stranger or a team working through the night during a major incident, these actions reflect the courage, skill and commitment that help keep Vancouver safe.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The department&rsquo;s highest honor, the Medal of Valor, was awarded to Firefighter/Paramedic Jennifer English for her role in a dramatic water rescue at Lacamas Lake in May 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;English entered cold, murky water with little visibility to search for a drowning victim. Despite entanglement hazards, she made several rapid free dives. On her fourth dive, she located the victim, brought him to the surface and swam him to shore so crews could begin advanced medical care. Her decisive actions and technical rescue skills gave the victim the best possible chance of survival.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A total of 36 awards across several categories were presented to firefighters, City employees and community members:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Life Saving and Fire Medal Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Several citizens, firefighters and public safety partners were recognized for lifesaving actions:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Kayla Edwards, a dispatcher, and Roberto &ldquo;Alex&rdquo; Dennis received the Fire Medal for helping rescue a driver from a burning vehicle after a crash on Interstate 205.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Brody Walton and off-duty Paramedic John Mosely were honored for rescuing and reviving an eight-year-old child found unresponsive in a swimming pool.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Ashley Lyon and City Public Works employee Tony Castro used an automated external defibrillator (AED) to revive a construction worker who collapsed from cardiac arrest.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Captain Jarrod Grahn, Paramedic Josh Lawson and Firefighter Adam Pozsgai revived a three-year-old child who was unresponsive and not breathing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chief&rsquo;s Achievement Award&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fire Chief Drake presented the Chief&rsquo;s Achievement Award to Chuck Winkler, supervisor of the department&rsquo;s fleet services team, recognizing 25 years of leadership maintaining the department&rsquo;s engines, ladder trucks, fireboats and specialized vehicles. Winkler&rsquo;s leadership helped ensure emergency apparatus remain ready to respond at all hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meritorious Service Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recognizes firefighters whose actions demonstrate exceptional professionalism and dedication.&lt;/p&gt;

     &lt;li&gt;Captains Brandon Werry and Andrey Yelizavetskiy for leadership in the department&rsquo;s training division.&lt;/li&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[&ldquo;Cram the Cruiser&rdquo; to Benefit Battle Ground and Prairie High Schools (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last year, Battle Ground Police Department (BGPD) School Resource Officer Phil Anderson used his personal funds to establish a small food pantry at Battle Ground High School (BGHS), initially stocking it with Cup &lsquo;O Noodles and other light snacks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the Battle Ground Education Foundation (BGEF) learned of Officer Anderson&rsquo;s efforts, it generously committed to providing a monthly stipend to help keep the pantry stocked. With the foundation&rsquo;s support, the pantry&rsquo;s offerings have expanded to include a wider variety of nutritious snacks.&amp;nbsp; Since the launch of the SRO food pantry program, students and staff creatively and affectionately named the pantry &ldquo;The Tiger&rsquo;s Table&rdquo;, a tribute to the BGHS mascot. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition, the collaborative partnership between BGPD and the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office (CCSO) has created opportunities for officers and deputies to connect and share ideas. Through that partnership, CCSO Deputy Chelsea Quiggle, the School Resource Officer assigned to Prairie High School, learned about &ldquo;The Tiger&rsquo;s Table&rdquo; and launched a similar food pantry at her school, also with support from BGEF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Than a Pantry - A Bridge to Trust:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The food pantries established by Officer Anderson and Deputy Quiggle help ensure that no student goes without access to a snack during the school day. What began as a modest, officer-funded initiative has proven to be far more impactful than its founders originally imagined.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each day, between 10 and 20 students visit the pantries at each school in search of a quick snack. For some, the visit meets a genuine nutritional need. For others, it becomes the starting point for a meaningful conversation; one that builds trust, offers support, and strengthens the connection between law enforcement and the next generation. These pantries have become one of the most effective relationship-building tools available to the School Resource Officers, yet demand continues to exceed available supplies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Community That Steps Up:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Community support for these pantry programs has been outstanding. As demand has grown beyond current supplies, Officer Anderson and Deputy Quiggle developed an innovative way to replenish their food pantries while also engaging the community. &amp;nbsp;The &ldquo;Cram the Cruiser&rdquo; event represents the next step in expanding a truly community-supported initiative, inviting residents to directly support the mission of the pantries and the students they serve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The inaugural &ldquo;Cram the Cruiser&rdquo; community donation event will be held on &lt;strong&gt;Saturday, March 28, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;. Community members will have the opportunity to place donations of non-perishable snack items directly into a Battle Ground Police Department and/or a Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office patrol vehicle. All donated items will be used to restock the food pantries at both high schools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ldquo;The Tiger&rsquo;s Table is a powerful example of what can happen when law enforcement meets students where they are; with consistency, compassion, and even something as simple as a quick snack,&rdquo; shared Officer Anderson. &ldquo;Every conversation that begins at that pantry is an opportunity to build a lasting relationship. We are deeply grateful to the Battle Ground Education Foundation and the broader community for helping us sustain this effort.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Deputy Quiggle added, &ldquo;We have seen firsthand how something as simple as a snack can open a door that might otherwise remain closed. Students who may never approach an officer in any other setting will stop by the pantry, and suddenly we are talking, really talking. It gives us the opportunity to show students that we are here for them.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Event Details -&amp;nbsp;Cram the Cruiser&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Date: Saturday, March 28, 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Time: 11:00 a.m. &ndash; 3:00 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;
Location: Fred Meyer, 401 NW 12th Avenue, Battle Ground, WA 98604&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What to Bring:&amp;nbsp; Non-perishable snack items, including individually packaged snacks, granola bars, instant noodles, crackers, trail mix, and similar items.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This event is sponsored by Battle Ground Police Department, Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office, Battle Ground Education Foundation, Battle Ground High School, and Prairie High School.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Battle Ground Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office are deeply grateful for their partnership with Battle Ground Public Schools and extend their sincere appreciation to the Battle Ground Education Foundation for its generosity in helping sustain this meaningful program. Together, they are making a difference; one conversation, one snack, and one relationship at a time.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[City of Salem Receives Aa2 Rating from Moody&rsquo;s; Outlook Stable]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &ndash; &lt;/strong&gt;Moody&rsquo;s Investor Service has assigned the City of Salem an Aa2 rating with a stable outlook. This rating applies to the upcoming sale of the City&rsquo;s 2026 General Obligation Bonds. This matches the rating received for the City&rsquo;s 2023 bonds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"This rating reflects the disciplined financial management and strong governance practices that help keep Salem on a stable path,&rdquo; said City Manager Krishna Namburi. &ldquo;Maintaining a strong credit rating allows us to access capital at lower borrowing costs and invest in the infrastructure and services our community relies on, while continuing to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moody&rsquo;s also praised the City&rsquo;s financial practices. &ldquo;The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the City will continue to budget conservatively, resulting in healthy reserves and liquidity,&rdquo; the agency stated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a Bond Rating?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A bond rating is like a credit score for cities and other large organizations. It shows how likely a city is to repay borrowed money. This rating affects the interest rates a city will pay when it issues bonds to raise money.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rating agencies, such as Moody&rsquo;s, evaluate a city&rsquo;s finances based on several factors. These include the strength of the local economy, the city&rsquo;s tax base, financial management, debt levels, pension obligations and governance practices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Does Aa2 Mean?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Aa2 rating means Salem has a solid financial position and a stable economic base. For Fiscal Year 2026, the City expects to end the year with a positive financial outlook. This is partly due to a new local option levy approved by voters in May 2025. The levy provides funding for libraries, parks and recreation, reducing the burden on the City&rsquo;s General Fund.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Salem&rsquo;s economy remains strong, even though some wealth indicators are slightly below average for cities with similar ratings. As Oregon&rsquo;s capital, Salem&rsquo;s economy is supported by government jobs, higher education and agriculture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Aa2 General Obligation Unlimited Tax (GOULT) rating matches the City&rsquo;s issuer rating. This reflects the City&rsquo;s full faith and credit, as well as its ability to collect unlimited property taxes to secure its bonds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is This Rating Important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Aa2 rating reflects Salem&rsquo;s strong financial position and responsible management. A high bond rating allows the City to borrow money at lower interest rates, saving taxpayer dollars. This is especially important for funding public projects, such as libraries, parks, streets and infrastructure improvements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For Salem residents, this rating shows that the City is managing its finances well and is prepared to meet its future obligations. It also highlights the City&rsquo;s commitment to maintaining a stable and thriving community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Salem Introduces Pilot Program to Assist with Non-Emergency Calls at Regional Dispatch Center]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore&lt;/strong&gt;. &mdash; &amp;nbsp;At Salem&rsquo;s regional 9-1-1 dispatch center, Willamette Valley Communications Center staff will begin a pilot program that uses an automated assistant to help manage certain non-emergency calls received on agency business lines.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The assistant, called Ava, supports call processing for non-emergency situations such as noise complaints, parking issues, lost property and other administrative requests. The pilot program tests whether an automated assistant can gather initial information for certain non-emergency calls and route callers to the appropriate agency resource. The goal is to reduce wait times for routine requests while keeping telecommunicators focused on emergency response. The six-month pilot allows WVCC to collect operational data and evaluate how the system performs in a real-world environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Emergency 9-1-1 calls are not part of this pilot. Every emergency call continues to be answered by a trained WVCC telecommunicator. No staffing positions are being eliminated as part of this effort. WVCC personnel continue to manage and oversee all call processing functions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;With the Ava system, we aim to provide a seamless experience for callers, ensuring that they can receive assistance efficiently while allowing our staff to focus on more complex or time-sensitive situations," said Salem Fire Chief Dave Gerboth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WVCC, which operates under the Salem Fire Department, serves more than 415,000 residents across Marion, Polk and Lincoln counties and supports communications for 32 public safety agencies. In 2025, the center processed over 500,000 calls. About 50 percent of those calls involved non-emergency requests that still require staff time and attention.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Does the Automated Assistant Work?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The assistant follows structured call-handling paths developed by WVCC staff and approved under existing operational procedures. If a caller reports an emergency or the system detects a situation outside the approved paths, the call is transferred immediately to a live dispatcher.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Human oversight remains part of every step of the process. WVCC telecommunicators monitor assisted calls, review call information and follow up with callers when needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This pilot reflects our continued commitment to the community we serve," Gerboth said. "Our goal is to ensure people receive timely service while keeping our telecommunicators focused on emergency response. By testing tools that help manage routine calls, we strengthen our ability to respond quickly and maintain the level of service our community expects and deserves.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p&gt;PORTLAND, OR &ndash;&amp;nbsp;Portland Water Bureau crews are responding to a main break at NE Multnomah Street and NE 13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Avenue that has caused flooding for approximately three blocks of Multnomah Street in both directions.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Vancouver Police Chief Troy Price gives notice to retire in early 2027 (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, WA &ndash; Last week, Chief Troy Price notified the City Manager that he plans to retire in early 2027. His retirement will follow more than 30 years in policing and two years as Vancouver&rsquo;s Police Chief.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Chief Price has guided major advancements in how we deliver police services, including the implementation of bodyworn and in-car cameras to strengthen transparency and trust,&rdquo; said City Manager Lon Pluckhahn. &ldquo;He also played an instrumental role in shaping the successful Proposition 5, securing critical funding for the department. His impact on this organization and our community is significant, and I am deeply grateful for his service.&rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;My goal has always been to leave this department better than I found it. When I look at the men and women who show up each day with dignity, respect, and a deep commitment to this community, I know we have achieved that, and there is still more ahead,&rdquo; said Police Chief Troy Price. &ldquo;Although my time in uniform is coming to a close, the responsibility of keeping our city safe remains, and I will be passing that mission to a skilled, dedicated, and compassionate team.&rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The City will begin a recruitment for its next Chief of Police later this year. Residents will have opportunities to share their perspectives on the qualities and priorities they would like to see in the department&rsquo;s next leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Price joined VPD in 1997 as a lateral-entry officer and moved up through the ranks. He has served as a Patrol Officer, Street Crimes Detective, Property Crimes Detective, Joint Terrorist Task Force Agent, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Assistant Chief, and Deputy Chief before becoming Police Chief in 2024.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Revised West Salem Grant Offers Increased Flexibility for Businesses]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; Business growth and expansion in West Salem just got easier. West Salem Urban Renewal Area&rsquo;s grant program has recently been adjusted to allow more flexibility for businesses. Now called the West Salem Urban Renewal Area Capital Improvement Grant Program, it allows for business retention, business expansion and business relocation that adds new jobs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We are excited to offer an accessible grant opportunity in West Salem that matches others throughout the City and will allow local businesses to grow, expand and create local jobs,&rdquo; said Salem City Councilor Paul Tigan, who represents Ward 1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The grant program was last updated in 2019. Significant updates include a new grant funding match scale that ranges from 50 percent to 20 percent based on total eligible project costs, expanded grant eligibility and reduced application materials.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The program updates address a recent decline in grant application activity in West Salem and makes access to capital easier for a broad range of projects resulting in new investment, products and services that benefit the area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The West Salem Urban Renewal Area (WSURA) was created in 2001 to eliminate blight and depreciating property values and attract aesthetically pleasing, job-producing private investments and improvements to public infrastructure. Since then, the City has issued 18 WSURA grants with an average grant amount of $131,000; $2.3 million project total has been matched by over $26 million in private investment and has resulted in the creation of over 260 jobs.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[City of Salem Announces Retirement of Police Chief Trevor Womack (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, Ore. &ndash; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/government/departments-agencies/city-manager-s-office/salem-city-manager"&gt;Salem City Manager Krishna Namburi&lt;/a&gt; today announced the upcoming retirement of &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/community/safety/police/salem-police-department/police-chief-trevor-womack"&gt;Police Chief Trevor Womack&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;After over 34 years in law enforcement and more than five years serving the Salem community, Chief Womack informed me of his decision to retire as chief of police, effective May 22, 2026.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Chief Womack joined the &lt;a href="https://www.cityofsalem.net/community/safety/police"&gt;Salem Police Department&lt;/a&gt; in December 2020 during a time of significant pressure and uncertainty for law enforcement and our community. His leadership through challenges and opportunities has laid a solid foundation for the agency's future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;One of Chief Womack&rsquo;s signature achievements has been leading the development and execution of the department&rsquo;s first public strategic plan, which set clear goals to enhance community safety, build police-community trust, and strive for excellence.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Under his leadership, the department has:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Improved efficiencies and effectiveness through data-driven decision-making and increased transparency&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Implemented the department&rsquo;s first body-worn camera program, improving criminal investigations, increasing accountability, and enhancing public trust&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Focused on violence reduction and collaborative partnerships with an array of stakeholders, including criminal justice agencies and community-based organizations&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Enhanced coordination between police, social services, and non-profit partners to better support individuals experiencing homelessness and those in crisis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;These accomplishments reflect significant progress toward the department&rsquo;s goals and demonstrate a commitment to modern, community-focused policing.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Like many departments across the country, Salem has faced ongoing staffing challenges. Chief Womack worked diligently to maintain essential public safety services while advocating for resources to support officers and the community.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Throughout his tenure, Chief Womack emphasized effective communications, internally and with the community. His commitment to open communication with the public and the media meant regularly sharing departmental information and directly addressing difficult or unexpected questions. Beyond public communication, his leadership was characterized by active listening, seeking input, and fostering collaboration throughout the department.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&ldquo;On a personal note, I have greatly appreciated Chief Womack&rsquo;s analytical approach and intellectual curiosity. Every conversation with him yielded thoughtful suggestions and new ways to serve our community,&rdquo; said City Manager Namburi. Regarding his leadership, she added, &ldquo;He embraced the City of Salem, this community, and his staff, making Salem his home and always striving to build trust and do what is right for the community. He has been a strong team member and leader in our Leadership Team and One City approach, particularly during the development of the Safe, Clean, Healthy Salem initiative, where his enterprise-wide solutions were invaluable. I will miss these conversations and his thoughtful leadership and partnership.&rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Of his retirement, Chief Womack noted, &ldquo;Serving this department and community has been one of the greatest honors of my career. Salem welcomed me from day one, and I&rsquo;m proud of what we&rsquo;ve achieved together: stronger partnerships, a clear strategic direction, and a department committed to safety, trust, and excellence in everything we do.&rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;To ensure continuity and stability in the department, Assistant Chief Brandon Ditto will serve as interim police chief for at least six months following Chief Womack&rsquo;s retirement. During this time, we will assess the needs of the Salem Police Department and the community to determine the most appropriate path forward for permanent leadership.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&ldquo;Please join me in thanking Chief Womack for his service, leadership, and dedication to Salem, and in wishing him the very best in his retirement,&rdquo; concluded the city manager.&lt;/div&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;After graduating from Jesuit, Coach Rombach played football at Linfield University for four years where he was team captain and an all-conference linebacker, helping the team win four conference championships and a national championship.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;Coach Rombach earned a degree in health education from Linfield and subsequently earned his master&rsquo;s degree in education with a focus on secondary education from Grand Canyon University. Coach Rombach&rsquo;s ties to Jesuit extend over the past many decades with his father, Gary Rombach, coaching Jesuit football and track and field and teaching math for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size:12pt"&gt; more than 30 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;My mission in coaching football is to teach life skills to young men and to build them into well-rounded, faith-filled servant leaders who are ready to enter the next phase of life and have a positive impact on their communities,&rdquo; said Coach Rombach. &ldquo;I look forward to leading our football program and continuing to develop young people in Ignatian values and the Jesuit tradition. I will work tirelessly to continue the tradition of excellence that is Jesuit Football and to represent our program well for years to come.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;We are incredibly excited to welcome Phil as our new Head Football Coach,&rdquo; said Colin Griffin '00, Jesuit&rsquo;s Athletic Director. &ldquo;His leadership, vision, and commitment to our school&rsquo;s mission will honor the proud tradition of Jesuit football while continuing to grow our program to new heights.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;Phil Rombach succeeds Ken Potter, who is retiring at the end of the 2025-26 school year from his roles as Counselor and Head Coach of the Varsity Football Team. In his 39 years at Jesuit, Coach Potter&rsquo;s 369-92 overall record includes 25 Metro League championships and four state titles, including his first state title in 2000 when Coach Phil Rombach was a player. In fall 2024, Coach Potter&rsquo;s historic 353rd victory made him the all-time winningest football coach in Oregon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It highlights how Black families and communities consistently resisted these conditions, pushing for educational opportunity, equity, and belonging despite structural barriers.&amp;nbsp;Ultimately, the&amp;nbsp;presentation challenges folks to see this history as ongoing and local, emphasizing that teaching Black, place-based history is essential to creating more&amp;nbsp;accurate, inclusive, and meaningful learning experiences today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(198, 198, 198) !important; color:windowtext; font-family:arial,arial_embeddedfont,arial_msfontservice,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Who:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:10pt"&gt; Second-grade students, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon and Valley Catholic School teachers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Where:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:10pt"&gt; Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Chapel - 4440 SW 148th Ave, Beaverton, OR 97078&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:10pt"&gt;For 140 years, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon have devoted their lives to prayer, education and health care. Now, as they celebrate their milestone anniversary and a transformational $1 million gift to the Valley Catholic School endowment, the Sisters are leaving a lasting legacy, one reflected in the students they have guided for generations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:10pt"&gt;Today&rsquo;s Heritage Prayer Service symbolizes a sacred legacy being passed from one generation to the next. As the Sisters strengthen Valley Catholic School through their historic endowment gift, the Valley Catholic School 2nd graders who will lead today&rsquo;s service represent the living promise of that investment, continuing a mission that began in 1886 and remains vibrant today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:10pt"&gt;Sister Michael Francine Duncan, SSMO, Superior General, said the prayer service reflects the heart of the Sisters&rsquo; mission.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Now, as they celebrate their milestone anniversary and a transformational $1 million gift to the Valley Catholic School endowment, the Sisters are leaving a lasting legacy, one reflected in the students they have guided for generations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size:10pt"&gt;On Wednesday, March 18 at 9:30 a.m., second-grade students at Valley Catholic Elementary School will lead a special Heritage Prayer Service honoring the Sisters&rsquo; enduring mission, their $1 million gift and the future their generosity helps secure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size:10pt"&gt;The service symbolizes a sacred legacy being passed from one generation to the next. As the Sisters strengthen Valley Catholic School through their historic endowment gift, these young students represent the living promise of that investment, continuing a mission that began in 1886 and remains vibrant today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[The Hands That Feed: New Art Exhibit at Museum Highlights Farm Workers; Bold murals, animation, and immersive experiences reveal the people whose work brings food from the field to our tables (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, April 6, 2026&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEND, OR&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&mdash;&amp;nbsp;A new exhibit at the High Desert Museum features vibrant murals, hand-drawn animations and freestanding, hand-painted art that offer a window into the daily lives of the people who harvest the fresh fruits and vegetables we bring to our tables. Opening Saturday, April 11,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Miguel Almeida: Las Manos&amp;nbsp;que&amp;nbsp;dan de Comer (Miguel Almeida: The Hands That Feed)&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;portrays everyday workers and community figures whose labor often goes unseen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Almeida, 33, comes from&amp;nbsp;a long line&amp;nbsp;of farm workers, a primary source of his artistic inspiration. Growing up amid the fertile fields of the Owyhee and Snake River valleys of Idaho&mdash;where he worked alongside his mother during some summers&mdash;shaped his connection to the land and the people who work it, themes central to the murals he creates around Boise, Idaho, where he is based.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The art of&amp;nbsp;this first-generation Mexican American prompts visitors&amp;nbsp;to think not only about where our food comes from but also about the people who labor in the fields that sustain us.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Museum explores how people and the landscape shape one another, and Miguel Almeida&rsquo;s work brings that relationship to life in a powerful way,&rdquo; said Museum Executive Director Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. &ldquo;His images center the farm workers, inviting visitors to consider the human stories behind what often feels like an invisible process. The exhibition aims to open important conversations about conservation, land use, and agricultural practices through the perspectives of the people who are&amp;nbsp;closely connected&amp;nbsp;to the land.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The exhibition entrance signals a shift into this world. The gallery fa&ccedil;ade is transformed with bold color&mdash;pinks, teals,&amp;nbsp;yellows&amp;nbsp;and purples influenced by the artist&rsquo;s visits to Mexico and fascination with the country on everything from architecture to pastries. Inside the&amp;nbsp;roughly 1,000-square-foot&amp;nbsp;space, large-scale murals anchor the gallery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the center of the gallery, a hand-painted cutout figure of a worker more than 10 feet tall is surrounded by soil. The scent of the earth and ambient audio of field sounds further immerse visitors in that landscape. On either side of the gallery, hand-painted animations&amp;nbsp;play. One follows a farmworker through the rhythms of a workday&mdash;from family life to the fields in all kinds of weather. The other traces the path of harvested food into the modern supply chain, contrasting the experiences of agricultural labor with the everyday act of shopping at a grocery store.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;My hope, through this work, is that people make a connection to who is doing the hard work to feed us,&rdquo; Almeida said. &ldquo;I wanted to take it a step further and make sure we&amp;nbsp;aren&rsquo;t&amp;nbsp;just reduced to a &lsquo;labor force.&rsquo; We are also humans, with hopes and dreams who are here out of necessity to provide a better life for our children.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The exhibition, translated into Spanish by Almeida, came about after Dustin Cockerham, Senior Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at the Museum, discovered Almeida&rsquo;s work while on a motorcycle trip in Idaho.&amp;nbsp;Outside of&amp;nbsp;Boise, he was struck by the smell of onions and&amp;nbsp;produce&amp;nbsp;from nearby fields when a mural caught his attention&mdash;its bold colors and&amp;nbsp;stylized&amp;nbsp;figures standing out against the working farmland. He began seeing more murals around the city, discovered it was the same artist, and contacted him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;There&rsquo;s almost a comic-book superhero element to it,&rdquo; Cockerham said. &ldquo;It's&amp;nbsp;a very contemporary style, influenced by skateboarding culture while also drawing from Mexican folk traditions.&amp;nbsp;What&rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;compelling is how the artist uses this to illuminate bigger issues&mdash;our food systems, the land, agriculture&mdash;through the lens of the people whose labor is at the center of it.&rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Miguel Almeida: Las Manos&amp;nbsp;que&amp;nbsp;dan de Comer (Miguel Almeida: The Hands That Feed)&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;is open through Sunday, October 11. It is made possible by the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation, with support from Central Oregon Radiology Associates.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT THE MUSEUM:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cliff Bentz in his effort to keep the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) focused on&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;protecting Oregonian's property and lives from flood risk. According to Congressman&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bentz, The National Flood Insurance Program Clarification Act of 2026 &ldquo;stops application of&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the Endangered Species Act in a way Congress never intended. Flood insurance exists to&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;protect human life and property. It should not be used as a vehicle to impose sweeping&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;land-use mandates on local communities.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OFP members support H. R. 7862:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;For more than a decade, Oregon communities have faced uncertainty about the future of&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;flood insurance and development in their communities. The National Flood Insurance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Program Clarification Act of 2026 restores the careful balance of responsible development,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;land management, and flood protection that was intended by the National Flood Insurance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Program. We thank Representative Bentz for his leadership in introducing this critical&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;legislation.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;The Oregon Farm Bureau applauds the introduction of H.R. 7862 &ndash; the National Flood&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Insurance Program Clarification Act &ndash; and urges its swift adoption. This commonsense&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;legislation reaffirms the intent of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as a critical&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;safety net in response to unpredictable and uncommon flooding events. Restoring the core&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;mission of NFIP to protection and recovery balances important aquatic habitat protections&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;with responsible natural resource land management and development practices. We&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;appreciate the leadership of Congressman Cliff Bentz in bringing this legislation forward.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Angela Bailey, Oregon Farm Bureau President&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Rep. Bentz&rsquo;s bill is a welcome addition to the fight for ensuring congressional intent is&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, March 19, 2026, 9:00 am PDT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;$40M Expansion Will Add a New Wing,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strengthening the Museum&rsquo;s Role as a Civic and Cultural Anchor for the Region&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;by Creating New Spaces for Art, Education, and Community Gathering&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bend, Oregon &ndash; March 19, 2026 &ndash; The High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon today broke ground on its $40 million campus expansion, which will add a new wing to the museum, transforming the arts and cultural landscape of central and eastern Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new 24,000-square-foot wing will increase the interdisciplinary Museum&rsquo;s capacity for exhibitions, education, and engagement, and will feature new classrooms, expanded gallery space, and new event and gathering spaces for the community. In addition, the expansion includes the reinstallation of the Museum&rsquo;s permanent Doris Swayze Bounds collection dedicated to the communities of the Indigenous Plateau region, the first such update in more than 25 years. Opening to the public in winter 2027, the project will expand access to the Museum for visitors and allow it to better serve one of the nation&rsquo;s most geographically vast and culturally diverse areas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Designed by Portland-based architecture firm Hacker, which also designed the Museum&rsquo;s first new building when it expanded in 1989, the new wing responds directly to the evolving needs of the fast-growing region. Since opening in 1982, the High Desert Museum has grown into the largest cultural institution east of the Cascades in Oregon, bringing together art, history, cultures, and natural science to explore the diverse landscapes and people of the High Desert region. It houses a collection encompassing over 28,000 objects from the intermountain West ranging from historic objects to contemporary artwork, including the Doris Swayze Bounds collection of 7,000 Indigenous plateau objects. The only institution of its kind in central and eastern Oregon, the Museum has doubled its programming over the last 15 years as attendance has grown by 40%, underscoring both its growing impact and the need for expanded facilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"The High Desert Museum exists to inspire curiosity, foster understanding, and celebrate the unique cultures and landscapes of our region and the ways in which people and landscape thrive together. This expansion allows us to share our mission with broader audiences, creating spaces where people can gather, learn, and engage with the stories that shape our communities,&rdquo; said Dana Whitelaw, Executive Director of the High Desert Museum. &ldquo;The transformed campus will deepen our ability to evolve alongside the diverse audiences we serve and to reinforce the Museum&rsquo;s integral role in our community as a leading cultural, educational, and civic institution.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Connected to the Museum&rsquo;s main building, the new wing will include a dedicated entrance and commons, and will allow for a holistic visitor experience with a seamless flow across the campus. The expansion encompasses an art gallery; the Gathering, an intimate community space; the Learning Center, featuring four new classrooms and an outdoor learning space; and the High Desert Hall and outdoor Event Terrace, offering the ability to accommodate large public events. The architecture draws inspiration from the surrounding sagebrush steppe landscape, with floor-to-ceiling windows, open gathering areas, and a nature-based color palette that visually connects interior spaces with the surrounding environment and reinforces the Museum&rsquo;s commitment to place-based storytelling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This project reflects the extraordinary generosity and shared commitment of the many donors, foundations, and community partners who believe deeply in the High Desert Museum&rsquo;s mission, and the Museum's role as a space where art, history, science, and nature come together to tell the story of this singular region, &rdquo; said Sharon Gueck, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees. "The expansion will allow the Museum to deepen its impact and increase its capacity as a vital community hub while continuing to celebrate the cultures that define the High Desert.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Museum Expansion &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conceived as a continuation of the High Desert itself and envisioned to blend seamlessly with the original building, the new wing&rsquo;s design reflects the local landscape&rsquo;s rimrock formations, volcanic geology, and the nearby Steens Mountain escarpment, with an intentionally restrained material palette that incorporates weathered steel, stone walls, and glass. In an acknowledgement of the Museum&rsquo;s deep connection to place and its interconnectedness with nature, the new wing is fully electric and features solar-ready infrastructure, and is designed for potential net-zero energy and net-zero water expenditure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A new 3,225-square-foot gallery will be the only art space of its kind in Oregon east of the Cascades, with flexible exhibition space featuring high ceilings and integrated audiovisual technology, allowing the Museum to expand its presentation of modern and contemporary art and to organize more impactful exhibitions featuring notable loans alongside collection highlights. Exhibition programming will continue to spotlight artists whose perspectives broaden understandings of the American West, and to emphasize underrepresented voices, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the region through a diverse cultural lens. The gallery will connect to the main building via a light-filled, 2,775-square-foot Gallery Walk, where visitors will encounter works of art in a beautiful setting inspired by nature.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reflecting this renewed commitment to engaging exhibition programming, the expansion project includes the renovation and reinstallation of the Museum&rsquo;s permanent exhibition dedicated to sharing the Doris Swayze Bounds collection of objects from the Indigenous Plateau region, one of the most significant Plateau collections in the nation. Developed in close collaboration with an advisory committee comprised of Indigenous members, the reimagined galleries will foreground contemporary Native voices and perspectives, emphasizing the continuity of Plateau cultures and their enduring relationships to the High Desert landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The heart of the new wing will be the Gathering, the Museum&rsquo;s &ldquo;living room&rdquo; that offers a welcoming environment featuring a wood-burning fireplace and comfortable spaces for rest and reflection. The space provides opportunities for intimate and informal gathering alongside facilitated dialogue, workshops, and community-driven programs that invite participation across generations and perspectives to explore issues important to the community. Positioned at the intersection of exhibition, education, and event areas, the Gathering will encourage visitors to linger, exchange ideas, and engage more deeply with the themes explored throughout the Museum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The wing will also be home to the Learning Center, which will feature four classrooms with flexible education space totaling 4,500 square feet and an outdoor area. This more than doubles the museum&rsquo;s current education facilities, which provide an essential resource for preK-12 teachers and students in the Museum&rsquo;s rural region with over 14,000 students and 100 teachers reached annually. The new spaces will significantly expand the High Desert&rsquo;s capacity to offer interdisciplinary field experiences, artist residencies, and teacher trainings. The classrooms are designed to open directly onto an outdoor &ldquo;learning porch&rdquo; featuring a stepped outdoor amphitheater space that lets learning experiences flow between indoor and outdoor environments and reinforces connections between cultural understanding and the natural landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The High Desert Hall will be a 5,000-square-foot, flexible event center with a 300-person capacity that establishes a civic gathering space capable of hosting lectures, performances, film screenings, conferences, and community conversations. Featuring adaptable seating and a raised stage, the venue will accommodate significantly larger audiences than the Museum&rsquo;s current facilities, while the ability to host multifaceted events that flow seamlessly between the Hall, the Art Gallery, and the Gathering will allow for a more diverse range of programming. The Hall opens directly onto a terrace, welcoming visitors into the ponderosa pine forest and seamlessly transitioning to the surrounding meadow and the Museum&rsquo;s outdoor trails. Together, these spaces are designed to function as an integrated environment where art, the natural landscape, scholarship, and community dialogue intersect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Museum is currently fundraising towards the $40 million project, which encompasses the capital expansion and the renovation of the Indigenous Plateau permanent exhibition. To date, the Museum has raised 87% of its goal through a combination of government grants, private foundations, and individual giving, including a $6 million grant awarded from the Roundhouse Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the High Desert Museum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The High Desert Museum is the only institution in the nation dedicated to the study of the High Desert region and the largest cultural institution in central and eastern Oregon. Since opening in 1982, the Museum has evolved into a place that annually serves almost 225,000 visitors from across the nation and cares for a collection of over 28,000 objects and 170 animals. Located in Bend, Oregon, the Museum encompasses 135 forested acres, two permanent cultural exhibitions, three changing exhibition galleries, a bird of prey center, otter exhibit, and the High Desert Ranch and Sawmill, and offers learning experiences uniquely rooted in the surrounding landscape.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Museum was a 2021 recipient of the National Medal for Museum and Library Service. In 2025, it was awarded the 2025 Autry Public History Prize for its original exhibition, &lt;em&gt;Sensing Sasquatch.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Sky Hunters Takes Flight at the High Desert Museum During Spring Break (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Monday, March 16, 2026&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BEND, OR &mdash; Spring break kicks off this Saturday, March 21 at the High Desert Museum with special programs, new&amp;nbsp;exhibitions&amp;nbsp;and summer hours, 9:00 am &ndash; 5:00 pm.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The popular indoor flight&amp;nbsp;demonstration,&amp;nbsp;Sky Hunters returns to the E. L. Wiegand Pavilion in the Donald M. Kerr Birds of Prey Center. Visitors experience powerful predators&amp;nbsp;close up&amp;nbsp;as raptors fly just overhead,&amp;nbsp;showcasing&amp;nbsp;the birds&rsquo; agility and grace while learning about their lives in the wild. The program is daily from Saturday, March 21 &ndash; Saturday, March 28 at 11:00 am and 1:30 pm and&amp;nbsp;is first come, first served. Tickets are $7 and available at Admissions on the&amp;nbsp;day of. Museum members receive a 20% discount. Sky Hunters is made possible by Fly Redmond with support from&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Visitors will also be able to enjoy daily talks about High Desert flora and fauna, free with admission. These include the&amp;nbsp;Nature Walk at 10:30 am, Otter Encounter at 12:30&amp;nbsp;pm&amp;nbsp;and Mammal Encounter at 3:00 pm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Spring break visitors will also be able to experience the Museum&rsquo;s temporary exhibitions. The new, original exhibition&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Under Pressure: A Volcanic Exploration&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the Spirit of the West Gallery invites visitors to discover the science, spectacle, and significance behind the giants that live among us. For many in the West, the impact of volcanoes is forever tied to the eruption of Mount St.&amp;nbsp;Helens on May 18, 1980.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Blending history and geology with interactive storytelling and hands-on exploration, visitors will&amp;nbsp;encounter&amp;nbsp;lava rocks, a volcanic hazard&amp;nbsp;map,&amp;nbsp;and hear the rumble of a volcano. Learn more at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://highdesertmuseum.org/under-pressure/" target="_blank"&gt;highdesertmuseum.org/under-pressure&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another exhibition on view in the Brooks Gallery is&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Soil&amp;nbsp;Alive!&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;a subterranean journey into the world beneath our feet. Presented in English and Spanish, the exhibition&amp;nbsp;beckons visitors underground to discover how soil is not just a bed of crunched up rocks and other materials.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation Announces Lorena Carrillo as Executive Director (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hillsboro, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt; &ndash; Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation has named Lorena Carrillo as its new executive director. Carrillo brings more than a decade of nonprofit and public-sector leadership experience advancing fundraising, communications, and community-centered programs.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Carrillo most recently served as Director of Development and Communications at El Programa Hispano Cat&oacute;lico, where she helped secure more than $8 million in funding and strengthened organizational systems to support long-term sustainability. Her work has focused on expanding access to critical services including education, housing stability, and community health, with an emphasis on culturally responsive approaches.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;We are thrilled to welcome Lorena as executive director of the Foundation. Her leadership comes at a critical moment, and she has the experience and perspective needed to continue strengthening the partnerships that support this work,&rdquo; said Michael Willes, board chair of the Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Carrillo&rsquo;s career reflects a strong commitment to advancing equity and improving outcomes for communities historically excluded from opportunity and investment. Her experience includes supporting regional flood resilience and emergency preparedness efforts across the Portland metropolitan region, contributing to the development of a Social Equity Policy, and leading outreach and engagement with Latine and immigrant communities. She began her career supporting international peacebuilding initiatives in Colombia, focused on youth development and violence prevention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m deeply honored to join the Foundation and build on the strong work already underway. At a time when access to healthcare is more critical than ever, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center plays a vital lifeline for many. I look forward to working alongside our community, partners, and donors to ensure that care continues to grow and reach those who need it most,&rdquo; said Carrillo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Born in Colombia and raised in Alaska, Carrillo brings both lived experience and professional expertise to her role. She holds a bachelor&rsquo;s degree in international development from Portland State University and is completing her master of public administration. She lives in Portland with her family.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation supports the work of Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center, advancing equitable access to high-quality health care and services for communities across Washington and Yamhill counties. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Photos &amp; Video from Sunnyside Hospital Groundbreaking Today! (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Today, Kaiser Permanente hosted a celebration to mark the start of construction on a new, state-of-the-art hospital tower at Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center in Clackamas, Oregon. The new facility is scheduled to open in 2029.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The event brought together Kaiser Permanente leaders, employees, community members, and elected officials to celebrate a major milestone for health care in the region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B-roll for media:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Augmented reality:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="https://coarchitects.github.io/kps/"&gt;View a digital visualization of the future hospital tower.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;The ceremony to break ground featured remarks from regional leaders and community partners, a performance by the Clackamas High School Choir, and interactive elements highlighting Kaiser Permanente&rsquo;s connection to the community and its vision for the future of health care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;&ldquo;Since opening our doors in 1975, Sunnyside Medical Center has been a place where lives are saved, families begin, and people come for care at every stage of life,&rdquo; said Wendy Watson, regional president of Kaiser Permanente in the Northwest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;&ldquo;Today, it&rsquo;s incredibly special to celebrate this moment alongside our employees, community members, and local leaders &mdash; people who have all been part of Sunnyside&rsquo;s story. As we break ground on this new hospital tower, we&rsquo;re building on that legacy with a vision for the future that brings together leading-edge technology and a significantly reduced carbon footprint, a healing environment, and our deep commitment to helping our communities live longer and healthier lives for generations to come."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;&ldquo;Hospitals are more than buildings. They are where science meets compassion and where some of life&rsquo;s most important and caring moments unfold,&rdquo; said Leong Koh, MD, executive medical director of Northwest Permanente.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;&ldquo;For more than 50 years, Sunnyside has been a place where our physicians, nurses, and care teams have delivered exceptional care to this community, and this new hospital tower is a direct investment in their ability to continue that work. Designed for team-based care, advanced technology, and a healing environment, it will give our patients the privacy, safety, and comfort they deserve while supporting our clinicians in delivering the best possible outcomes. As Oregon&rsquo;s first fully electric hospital, it also reflects our belief that environmental health is public health, and demonstrates our responsibility to build a healthier future for the communities we serve.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The ceremony included alumni families from the neonatal intensive care unit to symbolize care at every stage of life. Attendees also took part in a &ldquo;wishing tree&rdquo; activity, sharing their hopes for the future of care at Sunnyside Medical Center on handcrafted medallions that will later become part of a permanent installation in the new hospital.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;A highlight of the event was an augmented reality moment, where a digital visualization of the planned future hospital tower was revealed. The new 7-story, 615,000-square-foot hospital tower will feature leading-edge technology, expanded capacity, and modern patient amenities, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;100% private patient rooms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;In-room telemedicine capabilities, advanced robotics, and image-guided surgical equipment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Expanded emergency department capacity to reduce wait times&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Easy navigation for patients, staff, and visitors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Natural light, green spaces, walking paths, and healing gardens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This hospital will be fully electric, significantly reducing its carbon footprint. &lt;/strong&gt;The facility is also targeting LEED Gold certification. Once complete, it will become Kaiser Permanente&rsquo;s 87th LEED-certified building, adding to the largest group of LEED-certified health care facilities in the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Sunnyside Medical Center first opened in 1975 and has served the Portland metro community for more than 50 years. Today, more than 2,300 doctors, nurses, and health care professionals provide care for tens of thousands of patients each year, perform thousands of surgeries, and deliver more than 2,000 babies annually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The medical center is home to Kaiser Permanente&rsquo;s regional centers for neurosurgery and adult cancer care, a Level III NICU, and the Northwest Center for Heart and Vascular Care. It is also recognized as the only hospital in Oregon and Washington to have received Healthgrades&rsquo; America&rsquo;s 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery Award for 10 consecutive years.&lt;br /&gt;
During peak construction, the project is expected to employ more than 600 local tradespeople, supporting the regional economy. When the new tower opens in 2029, the existing hospital building is scheduled to be replaced with additional parking, walkways, and outdoor spaces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Sunnyside Medical Center is 1 of 2 Kaiser Permanente hospitals that serve Oregon and Southwest Washington; the other is Kaiser Permanente Westside Medical Center in Hillsboro, Oregon, which opened in 2013.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The five-day event, affectionately called Miracles on a Mountainside, offers participants adaptive sports therapy opportunities such as, downhill skiing, sled hockey, and several other adaptive sports activities. Approximately 400 disabled Veterans from across the country are expected to participate and will be supported by around 600 volunteers and 200 sponsors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Winter Sports Clinic epitomizes the strength, courage, and determination of our Veterans.&rdquo; Said Karla Azcuy, Director of VA Portland Health Care System. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m excited for them to have this impactful experience as part of their health care journey.&rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first Winter Sports Clinic was held in 1987 and hosted 90 disabled Veterans. For four decades, the event has helped Veterans who live with physical disabilities and wounds unseen overcome obstacles and challenge their perceived limitations. World-class instructors and recreation therapists help Veterans experience the full potential of adaptive sports as a tool for improved health and well-being.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (March 30,&amp;nbsp;2026)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&ndash;&amp;nbsp;Kaiser Permanente will host a groundbreaking celebration on&amp;nbsp;Thursday,&amp;nbsp;April 2, marking the start of construction on a new,&amp;nbsp;state-of-the-art&amp;nbsp;hospital tower at Sunnyside Medical Center in Clackamas, Ore. The new facility is scheduled to open in 2029.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The event will bring together Kaiser Permanente leaders, employees, community members, and elected officials to celebrate a major milestone for health care in the region. Speakers include&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Oregon Representative April Dobson, Clackamas County Chair Craig Roberts and&amp;nbsp;Dr. Sejal Hathi, MD, MBA, Director of the Oregon Health Authority.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;groundbreaking ceremony will feature remarks from regional leaders and community partners, a performance by the Clackamas&amp;nbsp;High&amp;nbsp;School Choir, and a variety of interactive elements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;designed to highlight Kaiser Permanente's connection to the community and its vision for the&amp;nbsp;future&amp;nbsp;of health care.&amp;nbsp;Displays throughout the event will also recognize Sunnyside care teams and feature local community partners supported through the project.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;"Since opening our doors in 1975, Sunnyside Medical Center has been a place where lives are saved, families begin, and people come for care at every stage of life," said Wendy Watson, President of Kaiser Permanente Northwest. "Today, it's incredibly special to celebrate this moment alongside our employees, community members, and local leaders -- people who have all been part of Sunnyside's story. As we break ground on this new hospital tower, we're building on that legacy with a vision for the&amp;nbsp;future&amp;nbsp;that brings together&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;leading-edge technology and a significantly reduced carbon footprint, a healing environment, and our deep commitment to&amp;nbsp;helping our communities live longer and healthier lives for generations to come&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;"Hospitals are more than buildings. They are where science meets compassion and where some of life's most important and caring moments unfold," said Leong Koh, MD, Executive Medical Director of Northwest Permanente. "For more than 50 years, Sunnyside has been a place where our physicians, nurses, and care teams have delivered exceptional care to this community, and this new hospital tower is a direct investment in their ability to continue that work. Designed for team-based care, advanced technology, and a healing environment, it will give our patients the privacy, safety, and comfort they deserve while supporting our clinicians in delivering the best possible outcomes. As Oregon's first fully electric hospital, it also reflects our belief that environmental health is public health and our responsibility to build a healthier&amp;nbsp;future&amp;nbsp;for the communities we serve."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Guests will also receive a Northwest-themed keepsake and can explore&amp;nbsp;displays&amp;nbsp;showcasing Sunnyside care teams, reinforcing the connection between the people who deliver care and the&amp;nbsp;future&amp;nbsp;facility being built for them and their patients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Construction on the new tower begins April 2, 2026. The current hospital will remain fully operational throughout the project, ensuring uninterrupted patient care.&amp;nbsp;The new 7-story, 615,000-square-foot hospital tower will feature leading-edge technology, expanded capacity, and modern patient amenities, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;100% private patient rooms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;In-room telemedicine capabilities, advanced robotics, and image-guided surgical equipment&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Expanded emergency department capacity to reduce wait times&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Easy navigation for patients, staff, and visitors&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Natural light, green spaces, walking paths, and healing gardens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This hospital is fully electric, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The facility is also targeting LEED Gold certification. Once complete, it will become Kaiser Permanente's 87th LEED-certified building, contributing to the largest portfolio of LEED-certified health care facilities in the United States.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Sunnyside Medical Center first opened in 1975 and has served the Portland metro community for more than 50 years. Today,&amp;nbsp;more than 2,300 doctors, nurses, and health care professionals provide care for tens of thousands of patients each year, perform thousands of surgeries, and deliver more than 2,000 babies annually.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(198, 198, 198) !important; font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;The medical center is home to Kaiser Permanente's regional centers for neurosurgery and adult cancer care,&amp;nbsp;a Level&amp;nbsp;III&amp;nbsp;NICU, and the Northwest Center for Heart and Vascular Care. It&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;also&amp;nbsp;recognized as the only hospital in Oregon and Washington to receive Healthgrades' America's 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery Award for 10 consecutive years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;During peak construction, the project is expected to employ more than 600 local tradespeople, supporting the regional economy.&amp;nbsp;When the new tower opens in 2029, the existing hospital building will be replaced with&amp;nbsp;additional&amp;nbsp;parking, walkways, and outdoor spaces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Sunnyside Medical Center is 1 of 2 Kaiser Permanente hospitals that serve Oregon and Southwest Washington; the other is Kaiser Permanente Westside Medical Center in Hillsboro, Oregon, which opened in 2013.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Legacy Health Announces Susan Huang, M.D., MBA as Next President and Chief Executive Officer (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PORTLAND, Ore., March 31, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&mdash; &lt;/strong&gt;Legacy Health announced today that Susan Huang, M.D., MBA has been selected as its next president and chief executive officer following a comprehensive and competitive national search. Dr. Huang will officially join Legacy Health on June 16.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Huang is a board-certified dermatologist with an extensive background as a physician executive. She is a graduate of Harvard College, where she earned her biochemistry degree Magna Cum Laude. She received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School and completed her internal medicine internship at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She completed her dermatology residency through the Harvard Combined Dermatology Program, where she was elected chief resident. Dr. Huang later served on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and as an attending physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She also obtained a Master of Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout her career, Dr. Huang has led integrated care delivery and improved clinical quality, access, financial performance and caregiver engagement. She has been recognized for distinctive leadership across diverse care environments including community, academic, acute, ambulatory and virtual. Most recently, she has served in senior physician executive leadership roles across large, complex healthcare systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What makes Dr. Huang's leadership particularly compelling is her rare ability to bridge clinical excellence with strategic and operational vision. She has been at the forefront of innovation in health care, including contributing to one of the first successful AI models in medicine developed in partnership with Google.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;The Board conducted a thoughtful and rigorous national search to identify the right leader for Legacy&rsquo;s next chapter. Dr. Huang stood out for her deep clinical expertise, her proven ability to lead complex health systems, and her commitment to the patients and communities we serve. We are confident she is the right leader to guide Legacy forward and to build on our strong foundation of high-quality, community-centered care.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Nancy Locke, Legacy Health CEO Search Committee Chair&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Legacy Health has long been an essential part of the health and well-being of communities across Oregon and Southwest Washington. As Legacy welcomes Dr. Huang&rsquo;s leadership and enters this next chapter, its commitment to the patients and communities who count on Legacy to be here for good has never been stronger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;&lt;em&gt;I am deeply honored to join Legacy Health as its next President and CEO at this pivotal moment in healthcare. Building on Legacy&rsquo;s strong foundation and deep roots in the community, we have a profound opportunity to help shape the next era of care&mdash;one defined by compassion, personalization and high-quality care, grounded in the needs of the people we serve.&amp;nbsp;Our mission-driven caregivers, in close partnership with our communities, will be essential to this work as we accelerate innovation and set a new standard for patient-centered care across Oregon and Southwest Washington.&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Susan Huang, M.D., MBA, incoming President &amp;amp; CEO, Legacy Health&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[INTERVIEWS: Thorns &amp; Fire team physician shares spring training tips]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;PORTLAND, Ore. (March 10, 2026): The Portland Thorns kick off the season March 13 -- a sure sign that spring sports are back in full swing across the Northwest. But it's not just professional athletes preparing for the season. As warmer weather arrives, many women are returning to activities like running, soccer, tennis, hiking, and pickleball. After a winter of lower activity levels, jumping back in too quickly can increase the risk of injury.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;"As team physician for the Thorns and the Portland Fire, I spend a lot of time helping elite athletes prepare for the season ahead," said Dr. Jackie Brady, a sports medicine physician with Kaiser Permanente Northwest who specializes in caring for female athletes. "But the same principles apply to everyone. Whether you're a professional athlete or someone getting back to weekend soccer, running, or pickleball, gradually building strength and conditioning can help reduce injury risk and keep you active longer."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;Women experience some sports injuries differently than men due to differences in anatomy, hormones and biomechanics. For example, women are significantly more likely to experience ACL injuries, particularly in sports that involve pivoting, jumping, or sudden changes in direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;"Sports medicine research has historically focused on men, but we're learning more about how to tailor training, recovery and injury prevention specifically for women, Dr. Brady said. "Strength training, proper warmups, and paying attention to recovery are some of the best ways to stay healthy and active."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;Interest in women's sports is also growing rapidly, and Portland is at the center of that momentum. Kaiser Permanente recently announced it will serve as the trusted team physicians and official medical provider for the Portland Thorns and the WNBA Portland Fire, supporting both elite athletes and broader efforts to advance women's health and performance in sports.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;Interviews available:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;Dr. Jackie Brady, Sports Medicine Physician with Kaiser Permanente Northwest, is available for Zoom interviews on Thursday, March 12 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Contact &lt;a href="http://mailto:karen.a.vitt@kp.org"&gt;Karen Vitt&lt;/a&gt; to schedule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"&gt;Dr. Brady is prepared to discuss:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"&gt;&bull; How women can safely ramp up activity as spring sports season begins&lt;br /&gt;
&bull; The most common injuries seen in women athletes and how to prevent them&lt;br /&gt;
&bull; Why training and recovery strategies should be different for women&lt;br /&gt;
&bull; Simple strength and conditioning tips that help reduce injury risk for runners, soccer players, and other recreational athletes&lt;br /&gt;
&bull; Kaiser Permanente's new partnership with RAJ Sports as the team physicians and official medical provider for the Portland Thorns and Portland Fire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[UPDATE_4/2/26: Inmate with pending charges in Clark County escapes Western State Hospital (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;UPDATE_4/2/26: Joshua Dylan Rice is 45 years old, not 35 years old as previously reported.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CORRECTION: Please note that this individual may have associates in North Bend, Oregon. An earlier version of the release incorrectly said North Bend, Washington.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, Wash. &ndash; Clark County was notified this afternoon that a Clark County inmate being held in Western State Hospital in Lakewood has escaped. Joshua Dylan Rice broke out of the hospital at approximately 8 pm March 31.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rice currently has pending robbery 1, and theft of a motor vehicle charges in Clark County Superior Court. Due to the violent nature of these crimes, he should be considered dangerous. He also has known criminal history in Multnomah County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rice is a 45-year-old white male with blue eyes. He is approximately six feet tall and weighs approximately 185 pounds. He may have associates in the Salmon Creek area and potentially North Bend, Oregon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone who sees Rice or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact 911.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please see the attached images of Joshua Rice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Regional Partners Encourage Safer Choices and Open Conversations for Alcohol Awareness Month]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ST. HELENS, Ore., Apr. 1, 2026 &mdash;&lt;/strong&gt; In recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month, Alcohol and Drug Prevention and Education Programs (ADPEP) in Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook counties are encouraging community members to reflect on their relationship with alcohol and understand its impact on personal health, families, and the broader community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Alcohol is the most commonly used substance in Oregon and the United States. While many people drink socially, excessive or underage drinking increases the risk of injury, chronic disease, mental health challenges, and substance use disorder. Alcohol use is also linked to higher rates of motor vehicle crashes, violence, and academic or workplace problems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&ldquo;Alcohol Awareness Month is an opportunity to pause and have honest, non-judgmental conversations about alcohol,&rdquo; said Haley Medina, Health Promotion Specialist. &ldquo;We want people to have the information they need to make informed choices and to know that support is available if they or someone they care about needs help.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Throughout April, Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook counties will share resources focused on:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Understanding lower-risk drinking guidelines&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Preventing underage drinking&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Reducing alcohol-related harms&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Supporting individuals and families affected by alcohol misuse&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Parents and caregivers can help reduce youth alcohol use by setting clear expectations and maintaining open communication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Confidential help is available for anyone concerned about alcohol use. Call or text the &lt;a href="file://ch-disks/shared/Team%20Share/PIO-Pacheco/DesktopFiles/NR/NR-%20Jessica%20Kosydar%20Honored%20with%20Statewide%20Public%20Health%20Award/988lifeline.org"&gt;988 Lifeline&lt;/a&gt; for mental health and substance use support, or visit &lt;a href="http://www.findtreatment.gov/"&gt;FindTreatment.gov&lt;/a&gt; to locate local treatment resources.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[County seeking young people to fill 10 volunteer positions on Youth Commission]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, Wash. &ndash; The Clark County Youth Commission is recruiting youths from all walks of life to fill at least 10 positions for the 2026-2027 program year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The commission is a group of 30 people ages 12-19 which serves as a voice for Clark County youth. It advises the Clark County Council, county departments and community organizations about how their work can affect young people. It identifies and takes action on youth concerns, educates the community about building strong youth-adult partnerships, and provides leadership opportunities for youth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All open positions are available for youth who live in Clark County. Additionally, new leader positions are available for youth with no previous leadership experience, and some positions are open to students living in the geographical boundaries of specific school districts as the Youth Commission uses school district boundaries to ensure broad representation of youth from all areas of the county. Woodland applicants must live in the section of the city within Clark County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Members serve a one-year term but can recommit to serve multiple terms. The Youth Commission requires six to 12 hours of work each month. Meetings are 6:45-8:45 pm the first and third Thursdays of each month, except July and August. These meetings will be in person. Special projects, assignments and subcommittee work add another two to eight hours per month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Youth Commission is accepting applications until Thursday, April 23, 2026. Please find the application at &lt;a href="http://www.clark.wa.gov/community-services/youth-commission"&gt;www.clark.wa.gov/community-services/youth-commission&lt;/a&gt;. Finalists must participate in an in-person interview. If selected, they must be available to attend a mandatory orientation in August.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Youth commissioners work together on various projects and assignments, voicing ideas and contributing their skills and strengths. The commission is continuously striving to be more representative of the county&rsquo;s diverse population.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information about the Clark County Youth Commission, please contact Elizabeth Houston-Hill, program coordinator, at 564.397.5133 or elizabeth.hill@clark.wa.gov.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Clatsop County seeks public input for Fair &amp; Expo Strategic Plan update (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ASTORIA, OR&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; Clatsop County is inviting the public to help shape the future of the Fair &amp;amp; Expo by participating in a community survey and attending an upcoming open house on &lt;strong&gt;Saturday, April 18&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The County, in partnership with the Fair Board, has begun updating the Fair &amp;amp; Expo Strategic Plan. This will be the first comprehensive update since 2009 and will guide future decisions related to fairgrounds facilities, programming, and community use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Community input is a key part of the planning process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Residents, exhibitors, vendors, and event organizers are encouraged to share their ideas and priorities through &lt;span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"&gt;a short online survey &lt;/span&gt;and by attending a public open house.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;The Fair &amp;amp; Expo brings people together, and this is a chance for the community to help shape its future," said Fair Board Chair, Abigale Goodman. &ldquo;We hope people will take a few minutes to complete the survey or join us at the open house and share their ideas.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community Open House&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When&lt;/strong&gt;: Saturday, April 18, Noon&ndash;2 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where&lt;/strong&gt;: Clatsop County Fairgrounds&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The open house will introduce the strategic planning process, provide an opportunity to learn more about the Fair &amp;amp; Expo, and gather feedback on facilities, events, and programming. Attendees may drop in at any time during the event. Snack will be provided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to the open house, community members can complete an online survey to share input. The survey takes just a few minutes and will remain open through April 30.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take the survey&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"&gt;https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/ajRKBQ5nf1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A second public open house will take place on &lt;strong&gt;May 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;, where community members can review draft recommendations and provide feedback before the Strategic Plan is finalized. The strategic planning process includes data review, community partner engagement, and public input, and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Columbia County Reuse Program Diverts 18,000 Pounds From Landfill]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in; text-align:center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Program returns usable items to local nonprofits instead of the landfill&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ST. HELENS, Ore., Mar. 19, 2026 &mdash; &lt;/strong&gt;Columbia County&rsquo;s Reuse Program has diverted nearly 18,000 pounds of usable materials from the landfill since launching in fall 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;The effort helps keep usable materials out of the landfill while returning them to the community through local nonprofit partners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;The program operates at the Columbia County Solid Waste Transfer Station and focuses on identifying new or like-new items before they enter the waste stream. These items are then redirected to local nonprofit partners where they can continue to be used by the community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;The program was developed after a year-long planning process in 2024 and 2025, during which the County&rsquo;s Solid Waste Department researched reuse programs in other counties, worked with transfer station operator Hudson Garbage, and received support from the Columbia County Board of Commissioners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Hudson Garbage hired a Reuse Specialist who works at the transfer station to recover usable materials from the tipping floor before they are sent to the landfill. Since launching in fall 2025, the program has diverted nearly 18,000 pounds of materials, including construction supplies, home d&eacute;cor, art and craft materials, and other reusable items.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Recovered materials are distributed to community partners including Habitat for Humanity, Top Notch Thrift Store, the Scappoose Senior Center, St. Helens Parks and Recreation, and other local nonprofit organizations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&ldquo;I really love the Reuse Program and my role in it,&rdquo; said Lori Baker, Reuse Specialist. &ldquo;I get to help divert usable items from the landfill and get them to terrific local nonprofits like the senior center&rsquo;s Top Notch Thrift Store and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which helps support their missions and our community. I also get to interact with customers and provide recycling support.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Tatum Flowers, Columbia County Solid Waste Coordinator, said the early results showed how effective the program could be.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&ldquo;A program like this is rare, and with continued support from Hudson Garbage and the Reuse Specialist, we&rsquo;ve already seen a huge impact,&rdquo; Flowers said. &ldquo;In the first three months of the program, we diverted more than 8,000 pounds away from the landfill and returned usable items back into the community through our nonprofit partners.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;The Solid Waste Department plans to continue working with community partners and the transfer station operator to expand reuse opportunities and reduce the amount of material entering the landfill.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Columbia County&rsquo;s Solid Waste Program:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Columbia County&rsquo;s Solid Waste Program works to protect public health and the environment by providing responsible waste management services and promoting waste reduction, recycling, and reuse throughout the county. The program operates the Columbia County Transfer Station and supports community programs that help reduce landfill waste, conserve resources, and keep reusable materials in circulation within local communities.&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Corvallis Housing First breaks ground on 47-unit supportive housing community (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="wp-image-10156" src="https://boc.bentoncountyor.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/7O2A9017-1024x494.jpg" style="border-style:none; box-sizing:border-box; height:auto; max-width:100%; vertical-align:bottom; width:1024px" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Community members, local leaders and housing advocates gathered Thursday, March 19 to break ground on Third Street Commons, a 47-unit permanent supportive housing development aimed at helping people experiencing chronic homelessness in Benton County.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The project, led by Corvallis Housing First, will provide housing paired with services such as health care, behavioral health support and case management. When complete, it will be the first development of its kind in Corvallis. The facility will include fully furnished studio and one-bedroom apartments, on-site services and community spaces.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All three Benton County commissioners attended the event, underscoring the County&rsquo;s commitment to expanding housing options and supporting coordinated efforts to address homelessness.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Board Chair Pat Malone shared remarks during the ceremony before joining partners and other local and state leaders to turn over the first shovel of dirt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;On behalf of Benton County, we&rsquo;re grateful to everyone who helped make this project possible and look forward to seeing residents move into Third Street Commons and begin new chapters in their lives,&rdquo; Benton County Commissioner Pat Malone said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Permanent supportive housing combines stable housing with services designed to help people maintain housing and improve their overall well-being. Project partners said the development will help fill a critical gap in the community&rsquo;s continuum of care.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;This project has been years in the making and reflects the hard work of many partners who believe everyone deserves a safe and dignified place to live,&rdquo; said Andrea Myhre, executive director of Corvallis Housing First.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For people who have experienced homelessness, the project represents more than a new building. It also represents stability, affordability and a path forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dominic Marchese, a local who has benefitted from supportive services, said Corvallis Housing First has already had a life-changing impact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m forever indebted to this place because they saved my life,&rdquo; Marchese said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m hoping to have an apartment here.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He said the support provided goes beyond housing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;It makes me feel great that there are organizations out here to help people who are struggling,&rdquo; Marchese said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re&amp;nbsp;life-saving.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jason Sutherland, &amp;nbsp;another local who has received housing support through Corvallis Housing First, said stable housing has been critical during ongoing health challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Everybody with Housing First has just been phenomenal,&rdquo; Sutherland said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ve been there for me through everything.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sutherland said the organization helped him secure housing and has continued to support him as his health has declined.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;They&rsquo;re looking out for people, not just those with addiction, but people with serious health conditions,&rdquo; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Project leaders said the effort reflects years of planning and collaboration among Corvallis Housing First, the City of Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon Housing and Community Services and other public and private partners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Construction is expected to be completed in September 2027, with residents moving in shortly afterward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Organizers said the groundbreaking marks an important step toward expanding supportive housing and helping more people in Benton County stabilize and rebuild their lives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ST. HELENS, Ore., Mar. 18, 2026 &mdash;&lt;/strong&gt; Columbia County Public Works crews are responding to road damage and flooding caused by the recent atmospheric river event, resulting in multiple road closures and traffic changes across the county.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apiary Road (Milepost 7.1), at Meissner Road &ndash; Traffic Revision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A culvert northeast of the Apiary Road and Meissner Road intersection has separated, partially undermining the north lane. Crews have installed temporary advisory signage and cones to shift traffic to the south side of the roadway while repairs are planned. Public Works crews will excavate the area, restore the roadway, and repair the culvert. Additional updates will be provided as repair work is scheduled.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holbrook Road (Milepost 1.1), at Beaver Homes Road &ndash; Road Closed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Holbrook Road remains closed after floodwaters overtopped the roadway at Goble Creek. Water has receded, and a washout has been confirmed. Public Works crews are assessing the full extent of the damage and will begin repair planning, including restoring the roadway base and surface.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Detour: Holbrook Road &rarr; Fairview Road &rarr; Nicolai Road &rarr; U.S. Highway 30.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heath Road (Milepost 0.2 to 0.45), between U.S. Highway 30 and Wonderly Road &ndash; Road Closed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;This low-lying section of Heath Road is prone to flooding and is currently closed. Once water levels recede, Public Works crews will reopen the roadway and begin restoration work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Detour: U.S. Highway 30 &rarr; Alston-Mayger Road &rarr; Wonderly Road.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;Motorists are advised to use caution near work areas and follow posted detour routes. Additional updates will be provided as conditions change and repairs are scheduled.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;For the latest information on road conditions, residents are encouraged to monitor Columbia County communication channels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in"&gt;Emergency responders evacuated residents from the park during the early morning hours as rising water impacted the area, and Clatskanie High School is serving as the primary shelter for residents affected by the flooding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in"&gt;The City of Rainier and the Rainier School District have also offered a location for temporary sheltering of displaced residents with recreational vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in"&gt;&ldquo;Our priority is making sure residents are safe and have a place to go,&rdquo; said Corey Padr&oacute;n, Director of Columbia County Emergency Management. &ldquo;Conditions may continue to change today, and we encourage residents to stay alert, avoid flooded areas, and follow guidance from local officials.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:-0.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Clark County March storm response information and closures]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Vancouver, Wash.&amp;nbsp;&ndash; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE 8 a.m. Friday, March 13: No weather-related closures remain in effect.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As heavy rains continue, county roads and parks are beginning to see impacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Public Works response&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Members of the public who encounter flooding, standing water, downed trees, or other issues on county roads are encouraged to report it by calling 564.397.2446 or using the online form at clark.wa.gov/public-works. As Public Works receives these reports, staff respond to the location of the issue and assess the situation. Where our crews are able to solve the issue, for example, by removing leaves from a clogged storm drain or moving a fallen tree off the roadway, they are doing so as quickly as possible. In many cases, such as when rising rivers and creeks flood roads and bridges, the only recourse is to close the road and wait for the creek, stream, or river levels to decrease.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many parks with river access may experience areas of localized flooding. In some locations, roads and parking lots may become inundated. Fast-flowing and rising water, storm debris and slope instability can create exceptionally hazardous conditions. Park visitors are reminded to stay away from rivers and out of any areas of standing water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Closures and Impacts &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This information will be updated throughout this weather event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;UPDATE 8 a.m. Friday, March 13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPEN&lt;/strong&gt;: Northeast 159th Street between Northeast 72nd Avenue and Northeast 75th Court&lt;font color="#212529" face="-apple-system, blinkmacsystemfont, segoe ui, roboto, helvetica neue, arial, noto sans, sans-serif, apple color emoji, segoe ui emoji, segoe ui symbol, noto color emoji"&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"&gt;which was closed on March 12 due to flooding, is now open.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Estimated reopening times are not known.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safety Reminders&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Drivers are reminded to: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Not drive through water if they can&rsquo;t tell how deep it is&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Never drive into areas closed with signs or barricades&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Slow down and increase following distance&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Slow down and give space to workers on or near the roadway&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Park and trail visitors are reminded to: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Avoid flooded areas&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Never drive off-road to avoid standing water&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Do not approach or enter rivers and streams&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The Camas School District has selected Ryan Scott as the next principal of Lacamas Lake Elementary, pending approval by the school board. Scott will assume the role following the retirement of longtime principal Julie Mueller.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Scott currently serves as associate principal in the district, supporting both Helen Baller Elementary and Woodburn Elementary. He has also worked at Dorothy Fox Elementary and Grass Valley Elementary, building strong connections with students, staff, and families across the Camas community.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;Ryan brings a thoughtful, student-centered approach to leadership and a deep commitment to our community,&rdquo; said Superintendent John Anzalone. &ldquo;He understands the importance of strong instructional systems, positive school culture, and meaningful relationships. We are excited for him to lead Lacamas Lake Elementary into its next chapter.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;In his current role, Scott has partnered with staff to strengthen literacy and math instruction, supported collaborative team structures, and helped refine systems that support student success, including scheduling, attendance, and interventions. He also served as interim principal at Woodburn Elementary, ensuring continuity of leadership and daily operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Scott&rsquo;s background as a teacher, counselor, and administrator reflects a consistent focus on supporting the whole child and building environments where both students and staff can thrive. His leadership emphasizes listening, collaboration, and creating clear, consistent, and responsive systems that meet student needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;I am honored to serve the Lacamas Lake community,&rdquo; Scott said. &ldquo;I believe schools do their best work when students feel known, staff feel supported, and families feel connected. I look forward to building on the strong foundation already in place and continuing to support every student&rsquo;s growth.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Scott holds multiple advanced degrees and certifications in education, counseling, and leadership. He is also a parent in the Camas School District.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The district extends its deep appreciation to Julie Mueller for her years of dedicated service and leadership at Lacamas Lake Elementary and wishes her the very best in her retirement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[WHS Students Pitch Energy Ideas to Clark PUD (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Students at Washougal High School (WHS) stepped into the role of urban planners and grid engineers this spring, presenting innovative proposals for the future of regional energy supply. Proposals, which focused on energy generation strategies that balance long-term grid reliability, environmental concerns, and conservation efforts, were judged by a panel of guest experts from Clark Public Utility District (Clark PUD) who asked questions and provided real-world feedback on the students&rsquo; ambitious designs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The proposals challenged students to make recommendations about energy infrastructure that meets the communities growing need.&amp;nbsp; Students were asked to plan for future growth while addressing trade-offs between new energy sources, grid storage, and conservation goals.&amp;nbsp; Students planned for future electricity needs that align with environmental stewardship and the mandates of the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA), which aims for a 100% clean energy supply by 2045-2050. Students used an Energy Grid Calculator to model their proposed solutions, identifying changes in carbon dioxide output, utility rate changes, and potential benefits.&amp;nbsp; Students also talked through drawbacks to different methods of generating electricity.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Students shared good ideas; it was fun to watch them think and work through problems,&rdquo; noted Bailey Burk, a Water System Operator and Washougal High School graduate. Burk challenged students on the technical specifics of their storage ideas, asking about the duration and discharge rates of proposed battery systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Students Kaden Gabriel and Audrey Gale proposed a diversified energy portfolio that increased both solar and hydro investment while phasing out coal and biomass. They engaged in a deep dive into energy storage, describing hydro storage as a massive natural "battery" to smooth out generation variability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The panel of experts from Clark PUD offered students a glimpse into the complexities of utility management. Charles Bennett, Technical Services Supervisor overseeing substations, pushed students to consider the necessity of a diverse generation mix and shared insights into the rigorous fish protection and mitigation efforts the PUD employs to keep local ecosystems healthy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Anthony Garibay-Villa&rsquo;s group focused on winterizing plants and expanding hydro capacity. They notably suggested a tiered pricing model, increasing costs for high-consumption data centers to fund critical infrastructure projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Zeecha Van Hoose, Reliability Compliance officer, reminded students of the human element behind the grid. &ldquo;Think about all the little things that electricity does in your life... things you don't even think about,&rdquo; Van Hoose said. She emphasized that &ldquo;for those relying on oxygen systems and life-safety equipment, grid reliability isn't just a convenience&mdash;it&rsquo;s a necessity.&rdquo; Van Hoose asked follow up questions for groups proposing the phase out of biomass generation facilities, noting that these facilities might be more carbon neutral than students anticipated since the carbon they use comes from recently grown plants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The lesson is part of the OpenSciEd high school physics curriculum, which the Washougal School Board adopted for use at Washougal High School for science last spring. WHS teachers use the OpenSciEd curriculum for physical science in ninth grade, biology in tenth grade, and earth science in eleventh grade.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The Clark PUD guests each shared their personal career paths and discussed the wide array of opportunities within the utility sector, including generation, transmission, and power grid management.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman,serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The project concluded with a discussion on the "long view" of energy. Van Hoose encouraged students to look beyond the immediate output and consider the "cradle-to-grave" costs of energy, with Bennett also talking about the consideration of the carbon footprint of manufacturing and transporting components for renewable projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;]]></detail>

&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hough Elementary School Celebrates St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;with Annual Paddy Hough Parade&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Vancouver, Wash.&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ndash; The annual Paddy Hough Parade made its way along Main Street in Vancouver&rsquo;s Uptown Village Neighborhood today, bringing together students, staff, and the community in a celebration of school pride and history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;The parade began at Hough Elementary School and students from every grade level, along with school bands, honored the legacy of the school&rsquo;s namesake, Patrick &ldquo;Paddy&rdquo; Hough. Students passed out candy, cookies, and potatoes to the crowd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;This year&rsquo;s theme, &ldquo;The Heart of Hough &mdash; Cultivating Learning through Connection and Community,&rdquo; was on full display as students marched through the neighborhood before returning to campus to continue the celebration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;In addition to students, the parade included local businesses and vintage cars that all added to the festivities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;Patrick (Paddy) Hough was born in Ireland on St. Patrick&rsquo;s Day in 1846, and dedicated his life to teaching and mentoring future educators.&amp;nbsp; Sixteen years after his death, Hough Elementary School was built and named in his honor.&amp;nbsp; Soon after, the Hough Neighborhood sprouted up around Hough Elementary. In 1991, a Hough teacher established the Paddy Hough Parade, and the tradition continues more than three decades later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="margin-left:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); color:rgb(13, 13, 13); font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The board gathered applications from interested candidates in February. Board members interviewed Retchless at the March 10, 2026 special meeting. The board appointed Retchless the same night, with Superintendent Aaron Hansen administering the oath of office.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr" style="margin-left:36pt"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); color:rgb(13, 13, 13); font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Board President Sadie McKenzie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); color:rgb(13, 13, 13); font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;said, &ldquo;Greg&rsquo;s experience as a business person and the 30 years working as a teacher adds to our capacity as a board.

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat"&gt;On March 10, Ridgefield School District officials recognized the March 2026 Employees and Students of the Month at the Regular Board of Directors Meeting. Congratulations to all of this month&rsquo;s honorees!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Madden Brandt, PreK at the Early Learning Center&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Each day, Madden arrives with unwavering determination and a genuine desire to connect, learn, and fully participate in everything his classroom has to offer. He is joyful, endlessly curious about the world around him, and motivated to build relationships with his peers and teachers. He works diligently to communicate using his eye gaze device, and watching him use it to share his thoughts, stories, and one-of-a-kind personality has been one of the true highlights of our year. His classmates love hearing what he has to say, and so do we! What makes Madden's perseverance so remarkable is that he meets every challenge with heart and grit. He doesn't back down &mdash; he leans in. That never-quit spirit shows up in everything he does, from connecting with friends to tackling every task his teachers place in front of him. The growth we have witnessed in how long he is able to stand and work through a task is a direct reflection of his hard work and determination. Every milestone Madden reaches is a celebration, and his joy is absolutely contagious. He is not just growing in confidence and independence, he is inspiring everyone around him. We are incredibly proud of everything Madden has accomplished, and we cannot wait to see what he does next!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bridget Hanes, 3rd Grade at South Ridge Elementary School&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Bridget is a hardworking and attentive student who consistently gives her best effort in everything she does. She listens carefully during lessons and stays focused on her work, which helps her complete tasks accurately and thoughtfully. Bridget is also exceptionally kind and respectful to everyone around her. She treats classmates and teachers with compassion and consideration, creating a positive and welcoming presence in the classroom. Her strong work ethic and caring nature make her a wonderful role model for her peers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maddison Hubbard, 4th Grade at Union Ridge Elementary School&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Maddison Hubbard deserves this recognition because she exemplifies what it means to be a resilient, persistent, active learner. Regardless of the subject or task, Maddison faces each activity head-on, always trying her best, keeping a growth mindset, and advocating for herself when she needs help. Maddison is also the first one who will stop what she is doing to offer help to a classmate. Her kind, patient demeanor is welcoming, making her a person others feel comfortable talking to, working with, and seeking help from. Because of her ability to self manage in the classroom, whether it be during instruction, independent work time, or transitions, Maddison demonstrates what a responsible leader looks like in school. She shows integrity throughout the day in all settings. Maddison is bright, polite, and motivated to achieve, taking every opportunity offered to push herself to the next level. We have no doubt that she will accomplish great things!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Melody Penfold, 5th Grade at Sunset Ridge Intermediate School&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Mel consistently demonstrates what it means to be a dedicated and determined learner. While school does not always come easily to her, she approaches every challenge with perseverance and a strong work ethic. She is committed to her growth, asks thoughtful questions, and puts forth her best effort in all that she does. Her resilience and determination to improve each day truly set her apart. In addition to her academic effort, she is a kind and respectful member of our school community. She comes to school with a positive attitude and a smile, bringing warmth and encouragement to those around her. She is an outstanding friend who is supportive, patient, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Her classmates know they can count on her to be encouraging and considerate. She exemplifies the character, integrity, and pride that define what it means to be a Sunset Ridge Coyote. Through her hard work, positivity, and commitment to excellence, she serves as a wonderful role model for others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vlad Vorozhko, 8th Grade at View Ridge Middle School&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Vlad is a kind, motivated, and helpful student who truly embodies what it means to be a leader. We have loved watching him grow in both his ELA skills and his confidence this year. His leadership and eager participation have made a positive impact in class every single day. Vlad consistently brings a positive attitude to school. He is attentive, works to the best of his ability, and is always willing to lend a helping hand to his classmates. He is kind, empathetic, and enjoys collaborating with his peers. His enthusiasm and love of learning make him a joy to have in class. Vlad works hard in every subject and is always striving to improve. In mathematics, he has shown tremendous dedication to gaining understanding and proficiency. If there were awards for hardest working and most improved, Vlad would surely earn them both! He asks thoughtful questions, stays engaged, and takes responsibility for his own learning. We are so proud of Vlad and cannot think of a more deserving student for this recognition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michael Young, 11th Grade at Wisdom Ridge Academy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Michael Young is the kind of student who makes you stop and think about what it really means to do well in school. He's dealt with some serious health challenges that have genuinely disrupted his education. And yet, he keeps his grades up and holds himself to a high standard, not because anyone is pushing him to, but just because that's who he is. But honestly, his grades aren't even the most impressive thing about him. It's his attitude. Michael doesn't complain, doesn't make excuses, and doesn't take shortcuts, even when he'd have every right to. Accommodations exist for a reason, and no one would blame him for using them more than he does. He just chooses to keep going. What's really something is how he manages to stay calm through all of it. He sets high expectations for himself without letting the pressure get to him. Michael strikes a balance that's hard to find at any age, let alone at 16 years old. He's mature in a way that's hard to put into words, and without even trying, he sets an example for everyone around him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Gracie is an exceptional student whose curiosity and dedication set her apart. As an AP Scholar with a 4.0 GPA, Gracie approaches learning with intention, consistently asking thoughtful questions, seeking deeper understanding, and pushing herself to grow. Her teachers describe her as inquisitive, kind, and genuinely invested in both her learning and the world around her. Gracie is also a vital part of Ridgefield High School&rsquo;s theatre program. As a member of the Thespian Honor Society, she brings energy and passion to every production, both on stage and behind the scenes. Whether performing, playing guitar, or engaging with music as a creative outlet, Gracie embraces opportunities to express herself. Beyond academics and theatre, Gracie is known for her positive spirit and inclusivity. She values the guidance of her older sisters and encourages others to communicate openly and advocate for themselves. Gracie plans to study physics next year after high school and with her enthusiasm for learning and growth, there is no doubt she will continue to make a meaningful impact.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

She works hard to make our school a better place, whether it be by building lasting relationships with her students and other staff, helping her teammates, or advocating at BLT, she is truly an exemplary educator. She is just plain awesome!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif"&gt;Tyler is part of our team in Central Services, and he has truly taken the &ldquo;service&rdquo; to heart.

Tyler is the ultimate team player, always willing to help and do whatever it takes to support the district and his teammates. Thank you Tyler for your relentless hard work and support in creating the systems that keep us moving forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="max-width:800px"&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Board of Directors Seeks Candidates to Fill District 4 Position &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The position became vacant with the resignation of Jacqueline Weatherspoon, who had filled the role since 2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vancouver, Wash., March 10, 2026&lt;/em&gt; &ndash; The Evergreen Public Schools Board of Directors is seeking candidates to fill its position that represents District 4. On Tuesday, the Board announced the resignation of Jacqueline Weatherspoon, who has served in that role since 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Applicants must be a registered voter and live within District 4, which is the southeastern portion of the EPS enrollment area. Boundaries of the Board&rsquo;s five districts can be seen on &lt;a href="https://evergreenps.community.diligentoneplatform.com/home/policies/policydoc/5354d9d9-b611-4db6-a3b5-3079b6702995" target="new"&gt;this document&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The position will be filled by appointment of the board and serve the remainder of the term until it is filled by voters during the general election on November 2, 2027. Information on how to apply and other details are on the &lt;a href="https://www.evergreenps.org/school-board" target="new"&gt;EPS Board of Directors webpage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Director Weatherspoon had served on the Board since she was appointed to fill the District 4 vacancy in March 2022, becoming the first Black woman to serve on the EPS Board. She remained in the role by winning election in 2023. This year, she served as board president for the second consecutive year. The role, which includes running board meetings, will be filled by Rob Perkins, who had been serving as vice president.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Jackie Weatherspoon led the same way she started &mdash; in the buildings, working with students,&rdquo; Director Perkins said. &ldquo;She showed up, listened, and brought what she learned back to the board table. She wisely pushed us to center equity and student voice, helped our student advisors give the Board meaningful advice, and helped lead the search that brought us Dr. (Christine) Moloney as Superintendent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Through enrollment declines and budget pressures, Jackie never wavered in her focus on what was best for students. She was open, accessible, and always willing to hear a different perspective. I'll miss her on this board."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;About Evergreen Public Schools:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; With about 22,000 students in 38 schools in the city of Vancouver, Evergreen Public Schools is one of the largest school districts in the state of Washington. The district was founded in 1945, when nine schools from eight different districts came together.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Oregon City School District Expands Pre-Apprenticeship Pathways with Western States Carpenters and United We Heal (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h3 dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:13pt"&gt;New Programs Build on District's Growing Commitment to Career-Connected Education for Every Student&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oregon City, Oregon &ndash; March 29, 2026 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&ndash; Oregon City School District has achieved another milestone in its commitment to preparing students for life after high school, announcing two new career pathways: a BOLI-approved pre-apprenticeship program in partnership with the Western States Carpenters, and a behavioral and mental health pathway through United We Heal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The announcements build on last fall's launch of the district's plumbing pre-apprenticeship through the Clackamas Youth Trades Initiative &mdash; which made OCSD the first district in Clackamas County to receive BOLI approval for pre-apprenticeship programming. With these additions, Oregon City School District continues to expand aiming to become one of the most comprehensive career-connected learning ecosystems in the region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;"There are no other programs like this in the county currently," said OCSD&rsquo;s School to Career Coordinator, Angie Gilbert. "We're providing students with quality training that puts them ahead of any of their counterparts in Clackamas County."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The district's momentum has earned statewide recognition: Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Commissioner is scheduled to visit the Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences on April 28 to spotlight OCSD's growing pre-apprenticeship programs as a model for career-connected learning across Oregon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Western States Carpenters Pre-Apprenticeship &mdash; Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences&rsquo;s (CAIS) Woods program has received BOLI approval for a pre-apprenticeship program in partnership with the Western States Carpenters' Regional Apprenticeship and Training Council.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The program is distinguished by the rigor of its curriculum. Rather than coursework simply aligned to industry standards, OCSD students are learning using the exact curriculum developed by the Western States Carpenters &mdash; the same materials used to train working professionals in the field today. "We are teaching the carpenters' curriculum directly to our students &mdash; and we're meeting their hours requirements," said CAIS Principal, Mike Stead. "Students completing the pre-apprenticeship will get nearly 500 hours of training, which is unheard of for a high school program."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;That investment in preparation translates directly into opportunity. Upon completing the program &mdash; including coursework, an industrial safety certification, and a professional portfolio &mdash; OCSD students will enter the apprenticeship process as among the strongest candidates in the applicant pool. "In the eyes of the carpenters, if they have space, these kids [will be] on par with their highest-rated candidate &mdash; because of our training program," said Mike Stead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The program is open to students at all OCSD high schools, including Oregon City High School and Oregon City Service Learning Academy. Students will forecast next year&rsquo;s course selections in the coming months, with a full program launch planned for the 2026&ndash;27 school year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;United We Heal &mdash; Behavioral and Mental Health Pathway&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Oregon City School District believes every student deserves a clear path from the classroom to a career that matters &mdash; including those drawn to serve their community through health and human services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Through a new partnership with United We Heal, OCSD students now have access to a behavioral and mental health pre-apprenticeship pathway combining rigorous college-level coursework with real-world career preparation. Interested juniors and seniors complete three credits through Clackamas Community College &mdash; Psychology 101, Psychology 201 (equivalent to the district's AP Psychology course, which is another option), and Psychology 215: Human Development &mdash; at no cost to students or families.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Students engage with the same academic content pursued on college campuses, building both the knowledge base and the professional foundation to enter the behavioral health field with confidence. Courses are available asynchronously, designed to layer onto a student's existing high school schedule. Students interested in this pathway can connect with their high school counselor or administrator to learn more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Growing Ecosystem of Career Opportunity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;These announcements reflect Oregon City School District's sustained commitment to ensuring that every student &mdash; regardless of the path they choose &mdash; graduates with the skills, credentials, and confidence to build a life right here in their community. When Oregon City taxpayers invest in their schools, this is what that investment looks like: students trained to industry standards, stepping into careers that strengthen the community that raised them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:montserrat,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The April 28 visit from Oregon's BOLI Commissioner affirms what families and industry partners are already seeing &mdash; Oregon City School District is setting a standard for what public education can deliver.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Regional Art Show Gallery Opens, Celebrating 10 Years of Student Creativity (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Largest student art show in Oregon returns with work from all 10 Clackamas County school districts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.clackesd.org/"&gt;Clackamas Education Service District&lt;/a&gt; is proud to announce the opening of the 2026 Regional Art Show gallery, marking the 10th year of the celebrated event and a major milestone for student artists across the region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;Now recognized as the largest student art show in Oregon, the &lt;a href="https://www.clackesd.org/artshow/"&gt;Clackamas ESD Regional Art Show &lt;/a&gt;features 230 works of art by middle and high school students representing all 10 Clackamas County school districts. The public is invited to visit the gallery March 30 through April 28, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Clackamas ESD administrative building, 13455 SE 97th Avenue, Clackamas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;For the past decade, the Regional Art Show has elevated student artists and created a space where their talent, ideas, and perspectives can be seen and celebrated. Since its launch, the show has featured the work of more than 1,600 student artists and has grown into one of the state&rsquo;s premier showcases of youth art.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;&ldquo;The Regional Art Show reflects something we believe deeply at Clackamas ESD &mdash; that every student deserves the chance to be seen, celebrated, and encouraged in their talents,&rdquo; said Clackamas ESD Superintendent Larry Didway. &ldquo;For ten years, this show has lifted up the creativity and perspective of students from across our county. Their artwork reminds us that our schools are places where imagination, identity, and voice can flourish.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;Founded by former CESD Superintendent Jada Rupley, the Regional Art Show began with a simple but powerful belief: student artists deserve to be celebrated like champions. That vision continues today, with the show highlighting student achievement across a wide range of artistic disciplines, including painting, ceramics, photography, mixed media, graphic design, and more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;This year&rsquo;s exhibit also introduces awards in five media categories: drawing and painting, digital art and photography, ceramics and sculpture, graphic design, and mixed media. An awards ceremony to announce this year&rsquo;s winners will be held on April 28.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;The Regional Art Show gallery reflects Clackamas ESD&rsquo;s commitment to expanding access to the arts and ensuring students from across the county have opportunities to share their work with the broader community. The exhibit also includes increased support for participation by students in CESD programs, including the Life Enrichment Education Program and Heron Creek Therapeutic Program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;Community members, families, educators, and supporters of student arts are encouraged to visit the gallery and celebrate a decade of student creativity.&amp;nbsp;Media outlets interested in covering the show can contact Clackamas ESD for help coordinating interviews with student artists, as well as photo and video opportunities at the gallery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Community Baby Shower Aims to Support Local Families Facing Diaper Need]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;(Salem, Ore.)&amp;nbsp; April 1, 2026 -The cost of caring for a newborn continues to rise, and for many families, one essential item remains out of reach: diapers. Today, experts estimate that infants require 6 to 12 diapers per day, totaling up to 3,500 diapers in the first year alone. At an average cost of $80 to $100 per month, diapers are a significant and often overlooked financial burden for families already struggling to make ends meet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To help address this growing need, the Rotary E-Club of the Willamette Valley and the South Salem Rotary Foundation will host a &ldquo;Community Baby Shower&rdquo; donation drive on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Willamette Health Council, 1701 Liberty St. SE in Salem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The community is invited to &ldquo;shower&rdquo; local families with essential baby items. The greatest need is for disposable diapers, but organizers are also collecting new or handmade clothing, blankets and quilts, bottles, wipes, books, toys, and personal care items for newborns.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All donations will be distributed through partner agencies serving families in crisis, ensuring items reach those who need them most.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Something as basic as diapers can become a major source of stress for parents,&rdquo; said event organizer Marcy Crenshaw. &ldquo;This is a simple, tangible way our community can step in and support families during one of life&rsquo;s most vulnerable times.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Financial contributions are also welcome and can be made the day of the event &lt;a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XZFCC58QB65TC"&gt;via credit card or PayPal&lt;/a&gt;, or online at &lt;a href="https://www.rotaryeclubwillamettevalley.org/"&gt;rotaryeclubwillamettevalley.org&lt;/a&gt;. Checks may be mailed to:&lt;br /&gt;
South Salem Rotary Foundation&lt;br /&gt;
c/o Marcy Crenshaw&lt;br /&gt;
1625 Snow Peak Ct&lt;br /&gt;
Stayton, OR 97383&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information or to arrange donation pickup in advance, contact Marcy Crenshaw at (503) 507-4770.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Deadline approaching for 2026 Sparky Award nomination submissions]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; Behind every fire-safe community is a person or group working tirelessly to protect their neighbors. The Oregon State Fire Marshal is accepting nominations for the 2026 Golden and Silver Sparky Awards. These honors recognize the unsung heroes who have made significant contributions to fire prevention and life safety across Oregon. Nominations are open through April 15, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Established in 1977, the Sparky awards are the agency&rsquo;s most prestigious recognition, celebrating exceptional achievements in fire prevention and safety education. The Golden Sparky Award honors a member of the Oregon fire service, while the Silver Sparky Award recognizes a member of the public who has gone above and beyond to make their community safer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We know Oregonians are doing great work with fire prevention and safety in their communities. This is a great opportunity to honor their achievements,&rdquo; said State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple. &ldquo;Past recipients were instrumental in creating fire-adapted communities, leading smoke alarm installations at the neighborhood level, and advocating for fire safety through creative campaigns.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Do you know someone who demonstrates exceptional dedication to improving fire safety where they live or work? This is your chance to shine a light on their contributions and help celebrate their impact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominations are due April 15.&lt;/strong&gt; Anyone can submit a nomination; you do not need to be a fire service member. Nominate today through the OSFM&rsquo;s website.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:24px"&gt;Capital City Retro Fest Returns to Salem Waterfront&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px"&gt;Award-Winning Festival Set for Three Nights of All-Ages Concerts at the Gerry Frank | Salem Rotary Amphitheater&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salem, OR &ndash; March 30, 2026&lt;/strong&gt; &ndash; Capital City Retro Fest returns to Salem&rsquo;s Riverfront Park for its second year, August 14&ndash;16, 2026 at the Gerry Frank Amphitheater. The three-night, all-ages tribute band festival follows a successful debut in 2025, where it was recognized by the Oregon Festivals and Events Association with an Ovation Award for &ldquo;Music Festival of the Year.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;The 2026 lineup spans multiple eras of popular music, with each night featuring three tribute acts. Friday, August 14, includes Red Not Chili Peppers [Red Hot Chili Peppers], Fighting Foos [Foo Fighters], and Infatuation Junkie [Alanis Morissette]. Saturday, August 15, features Hysteria [Def Leppard], Wild Boys [Duran Duran], and TribU2 [U2]. Sunday, August 16, closes the weekend with Taken By The Sky [Fleetwood Mac], Petty Fever [Tom Petty], and Hall &amp;amp; Bros [Hall &amp;amp; Oates + Doobie Brothers].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;Produced by Harefest, LLC, the festival was created to offer a high-quality tribute concert experience in an all-ages setting. The event returns to the Gerry Frank Amphitheater following recent park improvements, which provide a central, accessible outdoor venue for live music in downtown Salem. New for 2026, the festival will include a dedicated &ldquo;photo stage,&rdquo; where attendees can step up with instruments and capture their own rock star moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;&ldquo;Last year exceeded expectations on a lot of levels,&rdquo; said Jason Fellman, co-founder of Harefest, LLC. &ldquo;Winning the Ovation Award was a strong indicator that this event connected with the community. Moving to a weekend ahead of the Oregon State Fair gives us more room to grow and makes it easier for people to plan around both events.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;Capital City Retro Fest will also feature food carts, misting tents, a free water refill station, family-friendly activities, and a central bar serving adult beverages for attendees 21 and over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h3 dir="ltr" style="color:#aaa;font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(67, 67, 67); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The visit highlights three million dollars in new federal funding that will improve transit access and safety across the Salem region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, OR &ndash; (March 24, 2026)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt; &mdash; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;U.S. Representative Andrea Salinas visited the Keizer Transit Center on Friday, March 20, to meet with Cherriots leadership and see firsthand how federal investments are helping strengthen public transportation in the Salemâ'Keizer area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The visit celebrated three million dollars in federal funding recently secured to support construction of the future South Salem Transit Center (SSTC), a vital project that will expand access, improve safety, and enhance connections for local riders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Representative Salinas toured the Keizer Transit Center (KTC), which serves as a model for the SSTC, and stopped at Cherriots&rsquo; Del Webb Operations and Maintenance Facility to learn about the District&rsquo;s sustainability efforts and growing battery-electric bus fleet. Joining the tour were Cherriots Board President Maria Hinojos Pressey and Deputy General Manager David Trimble, along with other Cherriots board members, leaders, and staff who shared progress and community feedback on recent system improvements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;KTC showcases many sustainability features that reflect Cherriots&rsquo; broader environmental commitment, including a green roof, solar panels, rain gardens, and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. These features, along with the agency&rsquo;s investment in zero-emission, battery-electric buses, help reduce the region&rsquo;s carbon footprint while creating a cleaner, more comfortable transit experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Getting around shouldn't depend on owning a car. Everyone deserves to be able to get to school, work, the doctor, or the grocery store without worrying about how they will get there,&rdquo; said Rep. Salinas. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud to have secured three million dollars for Cherriots to help make it easier and safer for Oregonians to reliably get where they need to go. I'll keep fighting for the infrastructure that makes everyday life more affordable and manageable for working families across our district.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Representative Salinas&rsquo; advocacy ensures our transit system continues to grow with the people we serve,&rdquo; said Board President Hinojos Pressey. &ldquo;South Salem is one of the fastestâ'growing parts of our region, yet it still lacks a dedicated transit hub. The South Salem Transit Center will give people in South Salem a new option to commute, making it easier and simpler for riders who depend on us every day.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The SSTC will create a new access point in South Salem for riders who currently lack a dedicated transit hub, improving access to jobs, schools, businesses, and essential services. It will offer amenities such as comfortable waiting areas, secure bike facilities, and improved connections between bus routes, all in a part of the community where those options are limited today. The District is currently in active negotiations on land acquisition for the project and expects to advance design and construction phases in the coming year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Cherriots&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Established in 1979, Salem Area Mass Transit District (SAMTD) is a special District covering 78 square miles in the Mid-Willamette Valley between Portland and Eugene.

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;h3 dir="ltr" style="color:#aaa;font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A continuing collaboration that connects classroom learning with real-world experience at Cherriots.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SALEM, OR &ndash; (March 12, 2026) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&mdash;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt; Cherriots continues to advance its enduring partnership with Chemeketa Community College&rsquo;s Diesel Technology Program, working together to foster technical education and strengthen the region&rsquo;s skilled workforce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Cherriots is proud to strengthen our long-standing partnership with Chemeketa Community College by investing in the skilled technicians who will power the future of public transit. From parts donations and shop tours to upcoming career workshops, these initiatives help build a stronger workforce that benefits the District, our students, and the entire Mid-Willamette Valley&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt; said Maria Hinojos Pressey, Cherriots Board President.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;This ongoing collaboration connects students with hands-on learning experiences, donated equipment, and direct connections to potential employers in the transit industry. Recently, Cherriots provided Chemeketa&rsquo;s Diesel Technology Program with several key components including Allison transmissions, steering gearboxes, and a rear axle that will be used in classroom labs to help students understand, dismantle, and rebuild real transit vehicle systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;These parts allow students to learn on the same equipment they&rsquo;ll encounter in the field,&rdquo; said Kevin Ruby, instructor for Chemeketa&rsquo;s Diesel Technology Program. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ll study how each system works, conduct failure analysis, and practice the skills that prepare them for today&rsquo;s high-tech diesel jobs.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Cherriots Maintenance Manager, Zach Leeth serves on Chemeketa&rsquo;s Diesel Technology Advisory Committee, providing real-world insights on emerging maintenance technologies, such as electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) propulsion systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;&ldquo;Our partnership bridges education and industry,&rdquo; Leeth said. &ldquo;It helps students build their skills while showing them that careers in public transit maintenance are rewarding, stable, and essential to keeping our communities moving.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;This partnership has already led to meaningful experiences, including a May tour where second-year Diesel Technology students visited the Cherriots maintenance shop for an up-close look at transit operations. Students explored vehicle lifts, fluid delivery systems, and electric bus charging infrastructure, gaining insight into how modern maintenance teams support a diverse and sustainable fleet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Upcoming Career Workshop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Cherriots Human Resources, Chemeketa Community College, and WorkSource Oregon will host a Maintenance Shop Industry Workshop on March 18, 2026, from 9 to 11 a.m. at WorkSource Oregon Salem Center (hybrid format available).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;The event targets job applicants for Cherriots maintenance roles and career changers interested in diesel or automotive programs at Chemeketa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Registration is required via Eventbrite: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maintenance-industry-hybrid-workshop-worksource-salem-tickets-1982198793952?aff=oddtdtcreator" style="text-decoration-line: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family:open sans,sans-serif; font-size:12pt"&gt;Maintenance Industry Hybrid Workshop - WorkSource Salem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Woodburn recognizes sacrifices of military children with April proclamation (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WOODBURN, Ore.&lt;/strong&gt; &mdash; The Woodburn City Council recognized April as the Month of the Military Child during its regular meeting on March 23, when Mayor Frank J. Lonergan signed a proclamation honoring the resilience and sacrifice of children with parents serving in the armed forces.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;The proclamation was coordinated by the Oregon National Guard's Child and Youth Program as part of a statewide effort to secure similar recognitions from cities across Oregon.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;"We do the proclamations for Month of the Military Child &mdash; it's our way of spreading the word that we have children who serve alongside their parents," said Lorene Moore, Oregon National Guard Child &amp;amp; Youth Program manager. "We reached out to cities across the state to see if they wanted to be part of honoring our kids."&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;Moore said up to five cities are expected to sign similar proclamations before April, including Tualatin, Madras, and Warrenton, with a state-level proclamation from the governor's office also under consideration.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;Two members of the Oregon National Guard's Teen Panel attended the Woodburn ceremony to speak on behalf of the program. The Teen Panel &mdash; a youth leadership initiative that trains military children in public speaking and civic engagement &mdash; has become a centerpiece of the proclamation events.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;"It's nice to have that support system," said Grace Carlile, a Teen Panel member whose father, Maj. Stephen Carlile, recently returned from deployment with the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team as part of the NATO-led Kosovo Force's 34th rotation. "Especially for kids during deployment, we've been able to lean on each other and have someone who understands, whereas our civilian friends wouldn't."&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;Natalie Nunn, also a first-year Teen Panel member and student at Cascade High School in Turner, said she has taken on a creative role within the program, designing posters and social media graphics for events including a youth symposium, the Military Ball, and the Back to School Bash. Her father, Tech Sgt. Roy Nunn, is an F-15EX crew chief with the 142nd Wing.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;Maj. Stephen Carlile, who recently returned from the Kosovo Force rotation, said the program fills a gap that can otherwise leave military children feeling isolated.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;"It gives the children an opportunity to see that there are other children like them," Carlile said. "You might not have somebody in your neighborhood, or even your school, who is going through the same sorts of things &mdash; but there are other children throughout the state who are."&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;As part of its recognition, Woodburn announced plans to illuminate a local overpass in purple in honor of Purple Up! Day, a national observance encouraging communities to show visible support for military children.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"&gt;April has been designated the Month of the Military Child since 1986, when former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger established it to recognize the contributions and sacrifices of military families.&lt;/div&gt;]]></detail>

&lt;div style="direction: ltr; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 1em 0px; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The recognition coincides with Women&rsquo;s Military History Week, observed March 16&ndash;20 as part of the national monthlong recognition of women&rsquo;s contributions to the armed forces.&lt;/div&gt;

				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Students in Washington, Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook counties gain access to high-demand healthcare career training. Applications open March 30.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HILLSBORO, OR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt; &mdash; The Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) and Linguava have launched a new partnership offering high school seniors the opportunity to become qualified medical interpreters at no cost. Beginning March 30, multilingual students across Washington, Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook counties can apply for professional training through Linguava&rsquo;s Interpreter Academy&mdash;opening a powerful pathway into a purposeful, in-demand healthcare career.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Access to trained medical interpreters is increasingly vital as healthcare systems serve growing multilingual populations. Clear communication not only improves patient safety and trust but also helps providers deliver accurate diagnoses and culturally responsive care. The need for qualified interpreters continues to rise across Oregon and nationwide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;In a diverse community like Washington County, access to qualified medical interpreters is critical to equitable healthcare,&rdquo; says Todd Warlik, a registered nurse and the director of quality and patient safety at Hillsboro Medical Center. &ldquo;Their work helps ensure that every patient, regardless of the language they speak, can receive safe, respectful, and informed care.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Linguava is a nationally recognized language services company specializing in healthcare interpreting, translation, and interpreter training. Through its Interpreter Academy, bilingual individuals develop professional interpreting skills, medical terminology proficiency, and a strong foundation in ethics&mdash;competencies increasingly sought across hospitals, clinics, and healthcare systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;This partnership creates a meaningful career pathway for multilingual students while directly addressing a growing workforce need,&rdquo; says Adam Whalen, executive director of school performance and workforce development at NWRESD. &ldquo;By offering regional access, we ensure students from urban, suburban, and rural communities alike can participate and explore a high-demand healthcare career that may not be available in their local high school.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;The initiative allows students to transform the language skills they already possess into a valuable professional credential&mdash;while supporting the long-term healthcare needs of their communities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

     &lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li dir="ltr"&gt;
     &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next step:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfl1OwzDrXxDl3LUNkCUdaIpNVg1XaZZvohUiDIsgx4L0fZpQ/viewform" style="text-decoration-line: none;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204); font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;Complete the interest form to receive updates and application instructions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:roboto,sans-serif; font-size:11pt"&gt;&ldquo;This partnership program previews the kind of regional career learning opportunities we intend to expand&mdash;options that complement high school curricula, fill existing workforce training gaps, and connect students to real, high-demand professions,&rdquo; says Whalen. &ldquo;Linguava is one of many industry partners we hope to collaborate with to open these doors for learners across the region.&rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

				<headline><![CDATA[Investing in Staff Wellness: Kelso School District Receives Fourth Consecutive Zo8 Award (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Kelso School District has once again been recognized for its commitment to employee health and wellbeing, earning the &lt;a href="https://www.hca.wa.gov/about-hca/programs-and-initiatives/washington-wellness/tracking-success"&gt;Zo8 Award&lt;/a&gt; from the Washington State Health Care Authority&rsquo;s Washington Wellness initiative for the fourth consecutive year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Zo8 Award honors organizations that implement best practices aligned with the SmartHealth Workplace Wellness Roadmap, an eight-step framework designed to build strong, sustainable wellness programs that support employee wellbeing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At Kelso School District, employee wellness is more than a program&mdash;it is a core part of the district&rsquo;s commitment to supporting the people who serve students every day. The district&rsquo;s strategic plan prioritizes staff wellbeing through a comprehensive approach that includes a robust Employee Assistance Program offering free, confidential counseling and resources, wellness training opportunities at school sites, and regular staff wellness surveys to better understand employee needs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Central to these efforts is the district&rsquo;s Wellness Committee, led by Human Resources Director Dr. Holly Budge and composed of staff members representing a wide range of roles across the district&mdash;including teachers, principals, counselors, administrators, and human resources personnel. The committee meets quarterly to review program results, identify emerging needs, and develop strategies to strengthen wellness supports for staff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;When our staff feel supported and valued, it strengthens every classroom and every school,&rdquo; said Dr. Budge. &ldquo;This award celebrates the collective effort of our Wellness Committee and staff to build a culture of wellbeing across Kelso School District.&rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Washington Wellness recognized Zo8 Award recipients during a celebration on February 24, where participating organizations received awards and certificates honoring the teams who lead their wellness efforts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;About Kelso School District&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kelso School District has a goal of 100% (&lt;a href="https://bit.ly/ksd-100"&gt;bit.ly/ksd-100&lt;/a&gt;) of students graduating high school and having post-secondary plans for college, career, trades, or military. Our mission is to prepare every student for living, learning, and achieving success as a citizen of our changing world.&lt;/p&gt;]]></detail>

				<headline><![CDATA[Excellence in the Making: Celebrating Our First Semester Honor Roll (Photo)]]></headline>
				<detail><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;A massive congratulations to the 354 students who demonstrated exceptional dedication to their studies, navigating a rigorous curriculum with grit and determination, and made the first-semester honor roll at Woodland High School.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maintaining a high GPA isn't just about the numbers on a transcript; it&rsquo;s a reflection of late-night study sessions, active participation in the classroom, and the discipline to balance academics with sports, clubs, and personal lives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The sheer volume of students qualifying for honors this semester speaks volumes about the culture of excellence at Woodland High. Here is how the achievements break down:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;Total Principal&rsquo;s List/Honor Roll Recipients: 354 Students&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;GPA Range 3.0 &ndash; 3.89: This core group represents the backbone of our academic community, showing consistent effort and mastery across their subjects.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The 3.9+ Principal&rsquo;s List: 94 students pushed themselves to the very top tier of academic performance.&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;The Perfect 4.0: A special shout-out to the 64 students who achieved a perfect straight-A record this semester.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To our honorees: This milestone is a testament to your resilience. Whether you are a freshman finding your footing or a senior closing out your final chapters, your commitment to your education sets a standard for your peers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Success in high school is a marathon, not a sprint. To those who saw their hard work pay off in the first semester, let this be fuel for the second half of the year. To those who were&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;this close&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;to hitting your goal, know that the faculty and staff at Woodland are here to support you in bridging that gap.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As we are now well into the second semester, keep that momentum alive. Remember that your GPA is a door-opener&mdash;it reflects your reliability and your ability to tackle complex challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take a moment to thank the teachers, staff, parents, and mentors who supported you along the way. We cannot wait to see what this group achieves by the time June rolls around.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
