Measles Exposure, Randall Children's Hospital
OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Multnomah County health officials are warning the public about a location where people may have been exposed to measles. People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at these dates and times: Randall Children’s Hospital Emergency Department waiting room, 2801 N Gantenbein Ave., Portland: Between 5:07 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., Monday, August 3; Between 6:57 p.m. and 8:57 p.m., Monday, August 3; Between 10:29 a.m. and 12:34 p.m., Wednesday, August 5; Between 1:32 p.m. and 3:32 p.m., Wednesday, August 5. People who were at this location during these dates and times should check their vaccination records and monitor for signs and symptoms of measles. People born after 1957 who have not had measles and have not been vaccinated against measles should receive an MMR vaccine as soon as possible. Public health will be reaching out to individuals who are unable to receive the MMR vaccine (i.e., young infants, pregnant women, and severely immunocompromised individuals) directly to recommend that they receive post-exposure prophylaxis with immune globulin to prevent measles. Families without a primary care provider can establish care at any of Multnomah County's seven primary care?clinics?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. Facts about measles 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 also can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area. 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. Measles can be dangerous, especially among infants and children younger than 5 years old, adults older than 20 years, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems. In developed countries in recent years, one to three out 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 measles. The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is very low. What to do if you suspect measles in your household: Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they: Have a measles-like rash, or Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND have any other symptom of measles (such as fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes). Individuals planning to seek medical care should first call a health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.

Wildfire smoke and air quality
OHA release - There are air quality advisories in several counties in Oregon due to wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke is harmful, especially for children, pregnant people, and those with chronic medical conditions. Smoke can hurt your eyes, irritate your respiratory system, and worsen heart and lung diseases. How to stay safe: Stay indoors when possible. Keep windows and doors closed. Avoid strenuous outdoor activity. Use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for indoor ventilation systems or portable air purifiers if available. Set your car's ventilation system to "recirculate" when driving. Follow a management and treatment plan for people living with respiratory conditions like asthma. Check the air quality index for your area. Learn more and stay prepared: • Monitor air quality in your area: oregonsmoke.org; • Protect your health during wildfires: healthoregon.org/wildfires. • Stay up to date on local emergency alerts: oralert.gov

Air quality advisory for many parts of Oregon
DEQ release - Location: Baker, Crook, Deschutes, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jackson, Jefferson, Josephine, Klamath, central and eastern Lane, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco, Wheeler counties. End date: Until further notice. Smoke source: Multiple wildfires in Oregon and Washington. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Lane Regional Air Protection Agency issued an air quality advisory Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026, due to smoke from multiple wildfires in Oregon and Washington for the following counties: Baker, Crook, Deschutes, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jackson, Jefferson, Josephine, Klamath, central and eastern Lane, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco, & Wheeler. The agencies expect the air quality advisory to last until further notice. DEQ and partner agencies will continue to monitor smoke. DEQ expects intermittent smoke in the Portland metro area (Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties), as well as Benton, eastern Douglas, Lake, Linn, Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties. The Washington Southwest Clean Air Agency also extended a smoke and ozone air quality advisory on Wednesday until 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, due to smoke and smog in the Vancouver metro area (Clark County). Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on weather. Check current conditions on the Oregon Smoke Information Blog, DEQ’s Air Quality Index, or by downloading the free OregonAIR app on your smartphone. Smoke can irritate the eyes and lungs and worsen some medical conditions. People most at risk include infants and young children, people with heart or lung disease, older adults and pregnant people. Protect yourself and your family when smoke levels are high: Stay inside if possible. Keep windows and doors closed. If it’s too hot, run air conditioning on recirculate or consider moving to a cooler location. Avoid strenuous outdoor activity. Use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in indoor ventilation systems or portable air purifiers. Or create your own air purifying filter by following these instructions. Be aware of smoke in your area and avoid places with the highest levels. When air quality improves to moderate or healthy (yellow or green on the Air Quality Index), open windows and doors to air out homes and businesses. If you have a breathing plan for a medical condition, be sure to follow it and keep any needed medications refilled. Cloth, dust and surgical masks don’t protect from the harmful particles in smoke. N95 or P100 respirators approved by NIOSH may offer protection, but they must be properly selected and worn. Select a NIOSH-approved respirator with a N, R or P alongside the number 95, 99 or 100. Learn how to put on and use a respirator. Respirators won’t work for children as they don’t come in children’s sizes. People with heart or lung conditions should consult their health care provider before wearing a respirator.

ODFW Fishing Report
ODFW release - Coastal fall salmon season offers more opportunity to catch and keep wild salmon this year. Whether you target the massive Chinook or dime-bright coho, you can’t go wrong on the coast. Salmon fishing is open somewhere from July through December, so grab your gear and stock up on wood chips for your smoker. You can catch coastal salmon from the bank or a boat with lures or bait. Take part in a scavenger hunt for science! Explore the tidepools and submit your photos for science (and prizes)! Participate in the Oregon Marine Reserve Partnership's BioBlitz across Oregon's five marine reserves, marine protected areas, and nearby intertidal areas throughout August. No scientific experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore! Recreating in drought and wildfire season - actions you can take to protect wildlife and yourself. For the most current fire closures and restrictions--KNOW BEFORE YOU GO.? Oregon Water Resources Department updates and advisories: Be aware and "when in doubt, stay out". Razor clam harvest is closed from the Washington border to Tillamook Head for conservation. Areas south of Tillamook Head to Cape Blanco remain open. Check for domoic acid closures here: Know before you go. Clean, drain, and dry boats and other watercraft after each use to prevent transmission of non-native species. ODFW Ashland Boat Inspection Station found?golden?mussels on a?boat and biologists recently found a single quagga mussel at Prineville Reservoir. Mussels damage irrigation and hydropower systems and degrade water quality. Drought impact on stocking schedules. Some areas are too warm or shallow to support hatchery fish, which will be diverted to more suitable locations. Check local ODFW offices for the most updated stocking information. Best bets for weekend fishing: Recreational Albacore anglers are reporting success from multiple ports, about 35-50 miles offshore. See the Marine Zone for fishing strategies. Catch them while you can! Buoy 10 offers both boat and bank fishing opportunities from August through September. Beat the crowds and go fishing for sea-run cutthroat in coastal streams, bays and tidewaters. Bag limits are lifted for Thief Valley, Pilcher Creek, and Wolf Creek reservoirs. See the news release for more information: Bag limits lifted during drought.  Fish for trout or change up to warmwater game species. See specific zone reports for best bets. ODFW recently stocked Blue Lake, St. Louis Ponds, Adair Pond, and Bond Butte Pond with channel catfish. These fish, sourced from an approved facility, averaged approximately one pound each and are expected to provide excellent summertime fishing opportunities in these valley ponds. Southwest: Trolling at Lost Creek and Applegate Reservoirs continues to be very good. Howard Prairie and Hyatt Reservoirs have plenty of legal-size rainbow trout. Holdovers from last year are a good size. Cooper Creek Reservoir looks nice and clear. Go earlier in the morning or fish deeper for success. This is a good time of year to look for cutthroat in the Chetco River estuary. The estuary has very little bank access. Please be mindful of out-migrating salmon and steelhead smolt. If you catch these young salmonids, consider switching to barbless hooks and/or moving to a new location. If winds are light, Winchuck River and Sixes River estuary can be good places to target cutthroat. Marine: Albacore anglers are reporting fish 20 to 30 miles out. Pacific City had the highest catch rate of 14 albacore per angler. Ocean salmon fishing has been amazing on the mid and northern Oregon coast! The highest catch rate for the week was in Astoria at 1.7 salmon per angler, however, several ports reported over 1 salmon per angler. All ports are seeing soft, recently molted, male crab. These soft crab will not be as full of meat or the meat may not be as high quality. Anglers have been landing between 2.5 and 3 rockfish but lingcod has been slow. Angler Education: Catch-and-release techniques will reduce fish stress and increase survival. Land fish promptly to prevent over?exhaustion and avoid beaching to minimize the time they spend out of the water. Rubberized nets prevent snagging and reduce injury. Keep fish in the water while removing hooks and wet your hands before handling fish to protect their slime layer. Barbless hooks and pliers or a hook remover tool make release quicker and less harmful. Gently support fish in the water until they swim away on their own. Avoid fishing during periods of high-water temperatures or poor water quality when fish are already stressed.

Steelhead angling on the North Umpqua River is closed Aug. 10 – Nov. 30
ODFW release - ROSEBURG, Ore. – North Umpqua River steelhead angling will close at 12:01 a.m., Aug. 10 through Nov. 30, 2026 from the mouth upstream to the marker below Soda Springs Dam. Low numbers of returning wild summer steelhead prompted state fishery managers to enact this targeted angling closure. The current count of wild summer steelhead that have passed Winchester Dam is below 1,000 fish. ODFW biologists project the run will not meet the “critical abundance” level of 1,200 returning wild fish. Critical abundance is the point where conserving the population could be in jeopardy if a downward trend continues and is defined in the Coastal Multi-Species Conservation and Management Plan. Low river flows and water temperatures approaching 80 degrees in the lower North Umpqua and mainstem Umpqua rivers also play a role in this emergency angling closure. These conditions can make summer steelhead vulnerable to disease and mortality. Ocean conditions may also affect summer steelhead populations, specifically warmer oceans and last year’s marine heat wave, both of which affect prey availability and fish growth, and survival. Some populations of summer steelhead in the state are also experiencing low returns, which indicates a region-wide issue. Similar conditions and low returns closed fishing in this area in 2021 and 2023. In response to the low returns in 2021, ODFW developed a fishery management framework specifically for North Umpqua summer steelhead. The framework established criteria and processes to evaluate the need for a conservation closure to protect these fish. ODFW is continuing to work with partners to improve riparian and in-stream habitat to help cool water and provide better conditions for native fish. Work is also being done to increase flows in streams to benefit fish. Wild summer steelhead counts are determined from video counts of migrating fish at Winchester Dam.

Stolen Wheelchair Returned, Lane Co.
Lane Co. SO release - On July 22nd, LCSO Deputies were notified of a theft of a mobility chair from Armitage Park. The chair was valued at over 10,00 dollars and it belonged to a juvenile victim. The victim’s family took to social media and helped spread the word about the crime. Deputies spent extra time patrolling and contacting individuals in the area but so far had been unable to locate it. On August 5th, a community member contacted LCSO and reported finding the mobility chair. Deputies responded, seized the medical equipment and drove it back to its owner. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank everyone who helped in this case and ensured essential property was returned to a juvenile victim.

The Genesis of Skynet
OpEd By: CCSO Captain Sean M. Sanborn - It is a weird time for people of my generation and older. Those movies we watched way back when, such as “The Terminator” and “2001: A Space Odyssey,” seem to have been onto something. Today, in 2026, Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has become a thing. When we first started talking about AI a few years ago, I used to joke that it was all fun and games until Skynet became self-aware. Those who follow “The Terminator” franchise know that Skynet was the Artificial Intelligence that turned on humans and started a future war which bled into, and took place in the past, our present. The reality is that when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, cell phones were not a thing, and electric cars were imaginative fiction. The fact is that technology is becoming prevalent in all of our lives, and law enforcement is no different. When I started my career, I was provided a patrol car that was new the year I graduated high school. It had this giant lightbar on the top with halogen lights. I recall being on a traffic crash directing traffic, and the lightbar ran my battery dead; the alternator could not keep up with the draw, and it killed the engine in my car. I had a radio, which is how we received calls for service from Dispatch, and a notebook to document my notes. I was issued a pager for call back purposes if the department needed to call me back to work. Today, things are a lot different. Our cars are more akin to aircraft cockpits. LED lights are so bright that they look like UFO’s landing. In the digital age, we can take scene photographs on our phones and email them so they are at the office before we get there. There are computers which interact wirelessly with the internet, and calls for service are on that screen where every detail that Dispatch has can be viewed prior to arrival. Maps are digitally transmitted from phones to the car, and it navigates to where one needs to go. It is amazing the leaps we have taken in the past twenty years. We still have radios, which are heavily used in our county. And we still use our notebooks. Some things will never change. Now, however, we can document each incident with Body Worn Cameras. In a lot of ways, body-worn cameras have changed the landscape for law enforcement. Many in my profession expressed disdain for this technology when it emerged. What we have found, however, is that the number of complaints we receive has gone down. For the complaints that we do receive, one can readily view the video and determine what happened in fairly quick order. Artificial Intelligence is on the horizon for law enforcement as well. Technology exists which allows AI to access body camera footage and write a report based upon that footage. To put this into perspective, when I started my career in the military, we were still writing reports using paper and pen. Drones are a huge tool in use in law enforcement now. In conjunction with K9 teams, drones are used to apprehend suspects, look for folks during Search and Rescue operations, and accurately map crash and crime scenes. All of this technology truly does make me wonder what the future will bring. However, with all this technology, the human element remains important. Machines cannot express feelings…yet. They cannot show compassion; they cannot listen to a story and express a true understanding based upon personal experience. They cannot exercise discretion outside of an algorithm, which would be akin to a slot machine hitting the jackpot. While humans are and will remain beings who are imperfect, that need is there for a person to carry out effective policing, at least in my opinion. New toys are emerging all the time, but it comes at a price. Here at the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, we tend to look for relevant and affordable technologies. Most of the new shiny stuff we get, we obtain on a grant, through fundraising, or through service contracts. We are constantly looking for alternative means to pay for new equipment to purchase the technology that is out there. In the meantime, we still have our notebooks; we still provide relevant and timely training to our employees, and we constantly stay updated on current trends in case law and with law enforcement. Despite all the technology, we are policing with the resources provided to us to the best of our ability. In the meantime, we look forward to our positive interactions with our friends and neighbors out in the county, but are prepared for those interactions which are required to keep those friends and neighbors safe. Have a great summer and be safe out there!

Choked & Struck, Lane Co. Arrest
Lane Co. So release - On August 4th at about 6:45 pm, Lane County Deputies responded to an assault in the 42700 block of McKenzie Highway near Walterville. The caller reported being choked and struck in the face several times and lost consciousness. The suspect was identified as 42-year-old Jesse Lee Rider of Walterville. Rider left the location on foot before deputies arrived. Deputies interviewed the victim and held a perimeter until a LCSO K9 could arrive and assist. Deputies learned that in addition to the crimes committed that day, Rider already had warrants out for his arrest. K9 Tito led deputies directly to where Rider was located. Rider was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail for the below listed charges: Strangulation (2 counts); Assault in the Fourth Degree. Just prior to the call K9 Tito and his handler were performing a demonstration at a National Night Out event. A video was posted to Facebook of Tito’s performance from the event.

Veteran’s take note, using the Mike Pereira “Battlefields to Ballfields Program, all of your training, clothing and even the whistle, can be paid for. “What started as a small pilot program in California has grown into a national movement, transforming the lives of over 2,500 veterans across 45 states. Our mission remains unchanged: to honor military service by creating new opportunities for veterans to serve their communities.” For more information about being an OSAA Official for any sport, FB, VB, SC, BXB, go to their website: www.osaa.org/officials/registration, and for more information about the SW Oregon Football Association, contact SWOFA Commissioner, Glenn Koepnick at [email protected].
