PET SAFETY ON THE ROAD Drivers and passengers alike know the importance of wearing their seatbelt when riding in a vehicle. Next time you take your pet with you, make sure they are just as safe. Many dog owners let their dog run loose in an open truck bed, not thinking about the dangers. No matter how well-trained or coordinated your dog is, they can still fall or jump out of the back of a truck. Oregon law requires a dog to be protected by a carrier or other restraint if transported on "the external part of a vehicle" on a highway. A carrier or cage is most ideal, but if you use a leash or lead, make sure it is of a length that doesn’t allow the dog to go over the side. A two-point restraint works best to ensure the animal can’t jump or be thrown in the event of a sudden stop or collision. If your pet travels inside the vehicle with you, remember that driving with any animal on your lap presents a distraction and puts the pet, driver, passengers, and other motorists at significant risk for a collision; a collision that would otherwise be preventable. There are numerous pet-specific vehicle restraints that work with your existing seatbelts and can be purchased either online or in pet stores. Remember to keep your pet’s collar with ID tags on during the trip and keep their license updated. An updated license (required for dogs, recommended for cats) and current contact information can help reunite you sooner if there is a collision or your pet gets separated from you another way. In addition to ensuring your pets are properly secured for the journey, remember to pack emergency supplies. Packing essentials such as extra food and water can make a big difference if you are stuck in traffic or inclement weather. Our pets love to be on the go with us. Show them how much you care by always considering their safety when you take them on the road.

Our office had the privilege of presenting the Retired Sheriff John O’Brien Memorial Scholarship to two Lincoln County Seniors this year! Congratulations Ezri Thompson from Newport High School and Maya Freschi from Taft High School for receiving this $2,500 scholarship. This scholarship allows us to celebrate the achievements, ambition, and future successes of the recipients while remembering the legacy of Retired Sheriff John O’Brien. Retired Sheriff O’Brien dedicated his life to our communities. He served in the US Army and Vietnam, later joining the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office where he rose through the ranks to become Sheriff until his retirement in 2003. After retirement, John worked with FEMA to respond to disasters in Oregon, Alaska, Washington, and New York City. After his passing in 2022, this memorial scholarship was formed and gives us the opportunity to honor his legacy of serving our communities while looking ahead to the next generation of leaders.

Media Release May 28, 2026 Female Arrested Following Theft in Yachats On May 28, 2026, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a theft in the 500 block of Highway 101 in Yachats. Deputies learned a female suspect had entered a local business and stolen items. After reviewing video evidence of the theft, a deputy identified Danielle Condley as the suspect and located her behind the Yachats City Hall. When the deputy contacted Condley and informed her she was being detained for the theft, Condley began to walk away, staggering her stance and obstructing her right hand from view. Condley shouted not to come near her as she attempted to leave the scene. The deputy reiterated his instructions and moved into a position to prevent Condley from escaping. Condley backed away from the deputy and removed a knife from her pocket. As she pulled the knife, Condley lost control of the weapon, dropping it to the ground. Both Condley and the deputy proceeded to reach for the knife, with Condley gaining possession. The deputy quickly tackled Condley to ground to prevent her from using the weapon and gave her commands to drop the knife. Condley was disarmed and placed in handcuffs. The deputy on scene requested cover units respond as Condley was actively attempting to escape the deputy’s physical restraint. Additional deputies, alongside the Oregon State Police, arrived and assisted in taking Condley into custody without further incident. No injuries were reported and the stolen property was recovered. Condley was charged with Theft in the Third degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Resisting Arrest.

NATIONAL PET PREPAREDNESS MONTH June is National Pet Preparedness Month. Here’s how to make sure your pets and livestock are ready for emergencies: For Pets: • Make an emergency plan for your pets. Practice what you’ll do if you need to leave quickly. • Check your pet’s emergency supplies. Replace old food, water, and medicine. • If you have to leave your home, bring your pets with you. Only leave them behind if you have no other choice. • Ask neighbors or friends to help with pets if you can’t get home. • During evacuation warnings, put collars and harnesses on your pets and keep them in a safe room so you can grab them quickly. • Find out which shelters or hotels allow pets before an emergency happens. • Make sure your pets have ID tags and updated microchips. Keep a copy of their vaccine records in your Go Bag. • Make a pet emergency kit: leash, carrier, food, water, medicine, sanitation supplies, ID, and a photo of your pet. • Never leave pets alone in cars or tied up outside. • If you must leave pets at home, leave plenty of food and water and put a sign on your door with the number and type of pets inside. • Pets may act differently after a disaster. Watch them closely. For Livestock: • If you get a level 2 evacuation warning, leave with your livestock right away. Start getting ready at level 1. • Post emergency contact numbers on barns or fences. Mark your phone number on your animals if you have to let them go. • Store extra feed in a different place in case you can’t get home. • Work with neighbors to make an evacuation plan. • Make a kit with halters, first aid, water, and papers that prove you own your animals. For more pet and livestock emergency tips, visit Lincoln County Emergency Management, Ready.gov, or Red Cross.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS Take advantage of the summer weather and host a neighborhood BBQ, drop off some summer produce, or find another excuse to connect with your neighbors. Getting to know your neighbors is a great way to foster a sense of community and offers many benefits. One of the most significant advantages of knowing your neighbors is that it helps keep the neighborhood safer. When you have a connection with your neighbors, you become an additional set of eyes and ears in the community. By looking out for one another, you can collectively identify and report suspicious activities, making your neighborhood a less attractive target for criminal activity. Being familiar with your neighbors enables you to check on each other regularly and recognize when something isn't right. If you notice unusual behavior or potential signs of distress, you can reach out to offer help or alert appropriate authorities. Your early detection of something being off, such as noticing a garage door is unattended and open after dark or noticing a neighbor hasn’t gotten their mail in several days can make all of the difference. In either of these cases, you may be preventing damage to, or theft of, property or you may be able to get help for a neighbor that has fallen or has had another accident that requires attention. When you notice something isn’t right, take a moment to check in with your neighbor (call, text, or knock on their door). Another benefit of knowing your neighbors is the ability to understand each other's needs and resources during emergencies. In times of crisis, such as natural disasters or power outages, having a support system close by can be invaluable. By building relationships with your neighbors, you can collaborate and help each other in times of need, whether it's by sharing supplies, providing shelter, or simply offering moral support. In addition to increasing safety and security, knowing your neighbors can also provide a sense of belonging. Take time to get to know your neighbors to help build a healthy community.
