ENCOUNTERING BEARS IN YOUR COMMUNITY Recently, there have been an increase in the number of bear encounters in our communities. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) urges Oregonians to respect wildlife and do their part to ensure that wildlife, including black bears, and people coexist. A bear's strongest sense is smell. This means everything from trash cans to grill drippings can bring them to your property. Bears also have a great memory when it comes to food. They remember where they have found food before, including trash. Female bears will also pass this knowledge down to their young. Intentionally or accidentally feeding bears can negatively affect multiple generations of bears. Feeding bears (intentionally or accidentally) will not only bring unwanted visitors to your community, but can also be harmful. Wildlife have specialized diets that coincide with seasonal changes. Food provided by humans can negatively impact their health, lead to conflict and safety issues with people, and in some cases, have fatal consequences for the animals. For the sake of Oregon's wildlife and their health, do not feed them. Living responsibly with black bears is possible and it's up to everyone to do their part to keep people safe and bears wild. Follow these tips: • Never feed or approach bears. Feeding bears, intentionally or unintentionally, will cause them to associate people with food. It is also against the law in Oregon (ORS 496.730). • Secure food, garbage and recycling. Please ensure that your trash and dumpsters are secure from bears by using commercially available garbage cans, metal bars over dumpsters, fully enclosed trash storage, or by storing garbage inside. Take trash out immediately before pick-up, not the night before. Wash garbage cans with bleach to reduce their smell. Food waste is one of the strongest attractants for black bears and allowing bears access could qualify as illegal feeding if appropriate steps are not taken to prevent the issue. • Remove bird feeders in bear habitat when bears are active. Birds have plenty of naturally available food sources during all seasons which is why some species migrate in winter. Bears can be food rewarded from bird seed and suet in feeders leading to habituation and food conditioning, destroyed birdfeeders, and public safety issues. • Never leave pet food outdoors. This practice can easily attract bears and other wildlife, putting your pets and wildlife at risk. • Clean and store grills after each use. • Alert neighbors and ODFW to unusual bear activity (continued sightings during daylight hours, lack of wariness around people or pets, etc.). Share these tips with your neighbors, friends and family. A community effort is vital to preventing problems with bears and situations like the one in Cottage Grove. One person who feeds or attracts bears, intentionally or not, can pose a risk to everyone in the neighborhood.

SUMMER SCAM REMINDER Summer can be a time for relaxation, adventure, reconnecting with loved ones, and time for taking those anticipated summer vacations. Even with the nice weather, scammers aren’t taking time off. This means you have to be aware and cautious throughout the year. Here are some common summer scams to watch for and tips on how to avoid them: 1. Law Enforcement Scams: o Scammers pose as law enforcement agencies and claim you missed jury duty, owe fees, or someone needs bail money. They urge you to pay the “fees” quickly to avoid serious consequences and accept bitcoin, gift cards, or other non-traditional payment forms. o Scammers pose as animal shelters or rescue organizations and claim they can reunite you with your lost pet for a large fee. o Prevent these by scams by o Verifying information is coming from an official source. When in doubt, hang up, look up the agency’s contact information and call or stop by their office to verify someone is trying to contact you. o Save our contact information to quickly verify information is coming from the Sheriff’s Office:  LCSO Website: lincolncountysheriff.net/  LCSO Main Office: 541-265-4277  LCSO Animal Shelter: 541-265-6610 2. Vacation Rental Scams: o Scammers post vacation rentals online at enticing prices. o They ask for advance payment via wire transfer, but the rental either doesn’t exist or is not available. o Prevent this by using reputable rental platforms or companies. 3. Home Improvement Scams: o Contractors offer very low-cost services such as driveway repaving, house painting, etc. o Contractors claim repairs are urgently needed and encourage you to act quickly to avoid further damage or before prices increase. o They may take your money without completing the work, work without proper permits, or do low quality work. o Prevent this by avoiding unsolicited offers, getting multiple referrals or bids, and researching companies and contractors. 4. Employment Scams: o Scammers exploit job seekers by offering fake summer jobs. o Scammers post opportunities that promise high pay for minimal effort. o Prevent this by verifying job postings, researching organizations, and avoid sharing personal information until you have verified the company and posting is legitimate. 5. Travel Scams: o Beware of unsolicited travel deals or sweepstakes claiming you’ve won a free vacation. o Prevent this by verifying offers and information before sharing your personal information or payment. 6. Ticket and Event Scams: o Scammers sell counterfeit tickets to concerts, festivals, sporting events, and other activities. o Prevent this by purchasing tickets from authorized sellers and verifying websites or vendors before purchasing. Staying informed, being cautious, and helping family and friends learn how to spot scams can help protect everyone throughout the year.

On August 3, 2026 at about 12:36pm, a Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy observed a gray Jeep Wrangler driving southbound in the center lane of Highway 101 near Milepost 143, South Beach, Oregon. The deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop by activating their emergency lights but the Jeep failed to stop and continued southbound on Highway 101. The Jeep continued driving recklessly as deputies pursued the vehicle. Spike strips were successfully deployed near Milepost 153 but the Jeep continued southbound passing through Waldport. Deputies observed the driver waving a firearm (handgun) out the window at one point and then observed gunshots coming from the vehicle south of Patterson State Park. The driver of the vehicle attempted to turn around in the highway near the intersection of Highway 101 and SW Whitecap Drive (Milepost 158). A deputy struck the Jeep with his patrol vehicle which stopped the vehicle from continuing. The driver, identified as 32-year-old Waldport resident Demar Jabary Soto, was taken into custody without further incident. Soto was transported to Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital for a medical evaluation before being lodged in the Lincoln County Jail on charges of Attempted Assault I, Attempted Assault on a Police Officer, Attempting to Elude a Police Officer, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Menacing, Criminal Mischief I, Disorderly Conduct, Reckless Driving, and Recklessly Endangering Another Person. Oregon State Police is assisting with the investigation which is ongoing. None of the involved deputies were injured during the incident and it is not believed any members of the public were harmed.

Southbound traffic is being diverted onto SW Range Drive/S Crestline Drive/ SW Wakonda Beach Road to avoid the impacted area. Northbound highway traffic is being diverted onto SW Wakonda Beach Road/S Crestline Drive/SW Range Drive.

A HOT CAR IS NO PLACE FOR YOUR PET While many of us welcome the warmer weather, we must remember that some of our loved ones may find themselves in an uncomfortable predicament. It could even result in their death. Pets regularly accompany many people on trips and errands, which often leaves them alone in a vehicle. Pets should not be left unattended in a parked car. On warm days, and even cloudy days, the temperature in a car can rise to dangerous levels in minutes, even with the windows left open. A brief stop at a store or another errand can quickly turn into 15 minutes or more before we know it. Leaving pets in a car for this time could be a mistake that takes their life. Leaving the windows cracked won't cool the car enough to protect your beloved pet, even if they have water available. Oregon was the 11th state to pass a Good Samaritan Law, which allows anyone – not just law enforcement – to enter a vehicle (by force or otherwise) to remove an unattended domestic animal without fear of civil or criminal liability. If you come upon a scenario where you believe an animal could perish, please contact our dispatch center at 541-265-0777 before deciding to enter the vehicle. Be ready to convey your location, the vehicle description, and a description of you. Our Animal Service Deputies will make every effort to respond quickly. If you determine that more immediate life-saving action is necessary, please ensure you do all of the following: • have a reasonable belief that the animal is in imminent danger • notify law enforcement or emergency services either before or soon after entering the vehicle • use only the minimum force necessary to enter the vehicle • stay with the animal until law enforcement, emergency services, or the owner or operator of the vehicle arrives.
