SAFETY TIPS DURING HUNTING SEASON In the Pacific Northwest, many enjoy the great outdoors while hiking, camping, or hunting. Whether you are a seasoned hunter or just starting out, safety should always be the top priority. Before you grab your gear and start your next adventure, check out the hunting safety tips below. Tip for Hunters: • Check the weather and plan accordingly. • Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will return. Leave a written plan at home and in your vehicle. • Be familiar with the area and plan for local hazards. • Consider using technology such as a handheld GPS, cellphone apps that use GPS, personal locating beacons (PLBs), or satellite messengers. These can help searchers find you if you are lost or injured. • Avoid wearing white or tan during hunting seasons. Wear hunter orange and make sure it is viewable from all directions. • If accompanied by a dog, the dog should also wear hunter orange or a very visible color on a vest, leash, coat, or bandana. • Check hunting equipment before and after each outing and maintain it properly. Familiarize yourself with its operation before using it in the field. • Always bring rain gear and additional clothing. Use layering techniques to prevent moisture while retaining body warmth. • Carry a first aid kit and know how to use it. • Clearly identify your target before shooting to prevent accidents or fatalities. • Be alert when hunting near developed areas and trails. Other recreationists are in the forest as well. Tips for Outdoor Enthusiasts: • Wear bright clothing to make yourself more visible. Choose colors that stand out, like red, orange, or bright green, and avoid white, black, brown, earth-toned greens, or animal-colored clothing. Orange vests and hats are best. • Protect your dog. Get an orange vest for them. • Be courteous. Once a hunter is aware of your presence, don’t make unnecessary noise to disturb wildlife and avoid confrontations. • Make yourself known. If you do hear shooting, raise your voice, and let hunters know that you are in the area. • Know when hunting seasons are. You may choose to continue to hike but learn where and when hunting is taking place. Consider hiking midday when wild game and hunting activity is at its lowest. • Know your own comfort level. If hunting makes you uneasy, choose a hiking location where hunting is not allowed, such as a national or state park.

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY School is back in session, and you may be seeing more traffic, students walking or biking, and busses on the road. Drivers have a responsibility to stop for school buses displaying red flashing lights. Because buses are large vehicles, it is very difficult to see around them. The outcome of illegally passing a school bus can be devastating for children and drivers. Law enforcement agencies receive reports each year from bus drivers and community members about motorists failing to stop for school buses. With nearly 6,000 school buses operating in the State of Oregon, motorists need to be alert. When a bus is flashing amber lights, motorists should prepare to stop. When the red lights begin to flash, motorists traveling in both directions must stop before reaching the bus and must remain stopped until the red lights are turned off. The same rules apply to church or work buses equipped with amber and red flashing lights. Be aware when following any type of bus, it may make frequent stops. Oregon law requires motorists to stop whenever the red lights on a school bus are flashing, regardless of the direction they are traveling. The law applies to any roadway with two or more lanes of traffic, including multi-lane highways such as Highway 101. The only exception to the law is for divided highways with two roads separated by an unpaved median strip or barrier, such as in the Lincoln and Gleneden Beach areas. In this case, only drivers on the same side of the road as the bus must stop. A painted median strip or a center lane used only for left turns does not create two separate lanes. Where this situation exists, all lanes of traffic must stop. By staying alert and following traffic laws, you reduce the risk of traffic crashes and pedestrian injuries in our community. Please do your part to make our roads safe.

Happy Labor Day! Labor Day is a day to reflect on the generations of hardworking Americans who stood up for fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignity in the workplace. This holiday is a result of the labor movement of the late 19th century, when workers across the country united to create better futures for themselves and their families. That hard work, resilience, and integrity remain at the heart of who we are. Our Administrative Offices are closed for the day, but our Patrol and Corrections Deputies are working their regular shifts. Stay safe and try not to give them too much work today…we’re fun, but your holiday is more fun without us intervening.
