Speaking up for Crab Fishermen
Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission release - The win in Springfield was important, but it was not the end of the fight for our fishery – it was the beginning of the next round. ODFW is now holding a series of public meetings along the Oregon coast to discuss the commercial Dungeness crab fishery, including marine life entanglement, new conservation plan elements, electronic logbooks, vessel monitoring, and experimental gear permits. These meetings will help shape what the Commission sees and hears before key decisions at the August 14 Commission meeting. Commercial fishermen, industry reps, and anyone who depends on this fishery are specifically being invited to attend, either in person on the coast or via the virtual option. That invitation is only meaningful if we actually show up. Right now, a lot of people in the fleet and in our communities are exhausted and think, “We already went to Springfield. We won. They heard us. We’re done.” That is exactly what some NGOs and other interests are counting on – that we will treat one good outcome as the end of the story and leave the next meetings half empty or quiet. Here is the reality: • Every time ODFW or the Fish and Wildlife Commission meets about Oregon Dungeness, the record either shows fishermen and coastal communities present and speaking, or it shows us absent. • When we are not in the room – in person or virtually – others get to define what “the fishing community” wants, what “the industry” can live with, and what “risk reduction” should look like. • Once rules are adopted, they change lives: when you fish, how you fish, what you invest in, and what your crew and family can count on. So, this is an ask, not just an information share: • If you are a permit holder, crew member, processor, buyer, port staff, or coastal resident who depends on this fishery, pick at least one of these meetings and commit to showing up. • If you can’t be there in person, use the virtual option – it counts. • Bring a neighbor, a crew member, or a family member who has been affected by delays, closures, or gear changes. Real people and real stories matter far more than policy buzzwords. We don’t need every single person at every single meeting. But we do need the room – physical and virtual – to reflect the fact that this fishery supports real families, real coastal towns, and real working businesses from Astoria to Brookings. If we are not there, others will speak for us. Next meeting, Thursday, May 7, North Bend Public Library, 1 to 4 p.m.; then, May 12, Newport; Oregon Coast Community College, 1 to 4 p.m.; final public meeting, May 14, Astoria, Astoria Public Library, 1 to 4 p.m. Concerns: Marine Life Entanglements; Five-year risk reduction measures evaluation; Vessel Monitoring & Electronic logooks; Experimental fishing gear permits.

Boaters Urged to Use Caution in Cold, Low Water Levels
Joint Release: Oregon State Marine Board & Oregon Department of Emergency Management - SALEM, Ore. – As warmer weather returns to Oregon, many people are adding water recreation to their weekend plans. If you’re heading out on the water, the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB) and the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) want to remind you that even when the air is warm, the water remains very cold and hypothermia can set in quickly. Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. Find tips on what to do if you or someone else is exposed to cold water on the OEM Blog. In addition, it is expected to be a record-breaking dry season, and Oregon’s waterways will be experiencing lower than normal water levels due to limited snowpack and emerging drought conditions. Boaters should expect changing conditions throughout the season, including navigation hazards which contribute to the risk of collisions with fixed objects, groundings and more water recreationists being concentrated in popular waterbodies. “Low water can expose submerged rocks, stumps, sand or gravel bars, and other hazards to navigation that may not have been visible in previous years,” said Ashley Massey, Public Information Officer for the Marine Board. “Even familiar lakes and rivers can look—and behave—differently during drought. River currents can be stronger in some areas and then stall in others. Be prepared for any situation you may encounter out there. Give yourself enough time to launch, play, and take out. It’s also recommended to boat with others who can help render aid if its needed. To help recreational boaters in Oregon stay safe and protect natural resources, OSMB and OEM offer the following safety guidance: General Boating Safety - Wear a life jacket. Whether in a motorboat or paddlecraft, falls overboard are the leading cause of accidental drowning. Oregon is considered a cold-water state, with most waterways remaining under 70 degrees year-round. Most fatalities from drowning are due to cold water shock –sudden immersion into cold water. The chances of survival drastically diminish when not wearing a properly fitting life jacket. In Oregon and Nationwide, roughly 84-87% of fatal boating incident victims were not wearing a life jacket. (2019-2024 US Coast Guard Accident Statistics). Choose waterways for boating that match your skill level. To avoid becoming stranded far from the take-out site it is advised for new paddlers to avoid congested areas or waterways where afternoon winds pick up. Carry all required equipment and ensure safety gear is in good working order. Share your float plan with someone you trust. Include your destination, boat type and expected return time. Operate slowly and stay alert. Conditions change quickly, and previously submerged hazards may now be visible or just below the surface. Monitor water levels closely. When water conditions are lower than normal, motorized boaters are encouraged to check local regulations and review the boat ramp status map to find waterbodies with open, low-water ramps. Motorized boaters need deeper water to operate safely. Paddlers should operate closer to shore and avoid deeper channels. Both types of boat users should avoid unfamiliar or narrow channels during low?water conditions. Motorized boaters must watch their wake and operate at slow-no wake speeds, especially in narrow and shallow areas. Use a depth finder, set shallow?water alarms and monitor depth closely as you make way. Monitor weather forecasts, tides and changing water conditions. Be courteous to other boaters and keep launching areas clear by staging gear in designated areas.
Legal Requirements: Children 12 and younger must wear a life jacket when underway on any boat. Life jackets are required for all boaters on Class III whitewater rivers. Operators of motorboats over 10 horsepower must carry a boating safety education card. Paddlers operating non motorized boats must have a waterway access permit. For more information on safe boating practices and legal requirements in Oregon, visit Boat.Oregon.gov. On the home page, scroll to find your boat’s propulsion type to learn about equipment, education, rules, and other helpful planning resources. “Safety is always our top priority,” Erin Zysett, an OEM spokesperson, said. “We want all people in Oregon to enjoy time on the water responsibly. Stay informed. Respect the unique hazards water presents. Be prepared. And help protect our waterways and communities.”

Skeletal Remains Identified after More than 20-years, Portland
OSP release - PORTLAND, Ore. (5 May 2026) – More than 20 years after the fully skeletonized remains of a man were found in a wooded area of Southwest Portland, the remains have been positively identified as Robert Lee Horton, who would have been 47 years old at the time of his death. On December 19, 2004, two people exploring a wooded area near Riverview Cemetery discovered Horton’s remains. They notified local law enforcement immediately and personnel from the Portland Police Bureau and a medicolegal death investigator from Multnomah County responded to lead the investigation. Along with the human skeletal remains, a fabric lean-to, cooking pans, food items, and clothing were discovered. The clothing was retained as evidence and the skeletal remains were transferred to the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office for examination. The findings of the autopsy and skeletal examination concluded the decedent was a white male adult between the ages of 45 and 55 years old at the time of death and estimated to be between 5’6” and 5’9” tall. However, the cause and manner of death remained undetermined. In 2010, a DNA sample was sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification for Short Tandem Repeat (STR) DNA sequencing and entry into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) and a profile was created in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs). The State Medical Examiner’s Office regularly followed up on the case, and although DNA had been uploaded into CODIS, no genetic associations could be made. Missing persons profiles in databases like NamUs, the Violent Crime Apprehension Program (ViCAP), the Charley Project, and more were searched for new cases to match with the decedent. Unfortunately, there was no progress in the case. In 2018, the medical examiner’s office was awarded a National Institute of Justice – Forensic DNA Laboratory Efficiency Improvement and Capacity Enhancement Program grant to apply advanced DNA testing techniques on unsolved, unidentified skeletal remains cases. The case was recognized as one that could potentially be resolved by DNA Phenotyping and Investigative Genetic Genealogy provided by OSP’s vendor lab, Parabon NanoLabs. An additional bone sample was submitted for DNA extraction, and a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) DNA profile was successfully produced and analyzed. In January 2022, the first DNA Snapshot© Genetic Genealogy Report investigating distant familial connections was finalized. While matches were abundant, they were distant. To explore possible relationships among the highest?ranking matches, family trees were created for each, and extensive research was conducted utilizing a variety of sources. Unfortunately, there was little progress in the case. The Portland Police Bureau conducted additional follow-up and contacted distant relatives seeking clues about missing persons in their families as well as requesting DNA samples to help move the case along. However, the case again stalled. In late 2025, the medical examiner’s Human Identification Program reached back out to Parabon NanoLabs to inquire whether there were any new leads, and the case was reopened. Incredibly, by early 2026, Robert Lee Horton, born in 1957, had been identified as a likely candidate who had been missing since 2004. PPB then contacted remaining family members who reported that Robert had been living in Hawaii but moved to Portland in 2004. The family became concerned when they were unable to contact Robert, and he failed to retrieve mail and other items that were sent to him. The case detective obtained contact information for Robert’s living family members and obtained a family reference standard from his elderly mother. In February 2026, the Human Identification Program sent the family reference standard to Parabon NanoLabs DNA extraction laboratory for testing. By April 2026, the Kinship Inference Report returned definitive conclusions. The results indicated a 100 percent probability of a parental relationship with the unidentified remains based on genetics. Robert’s family was notified immediately of the positive identification. Sadly, his mother passed away a short time later. “While no amount of time can lessen the loss experienced by Robert Horton’s loved ones, we hope this identification brings a measure of closure and answers they have long deserved,” Portland Police Chief Bob Day said. “PPB is proud to have played a role in this case with our partners, and we remain committed to using every available tool to seek the truth and provide resolution for families impacted by tragedy.” “This case highlights the exceptional interagency teamwork required to resolve cold cases of this nature. OSP is grateful for the cutting?edge genetic genealogy analysis provided by Parabon NanoLabs, the seamless case work by the Multnomah County Medical Examiner’s Office, and the dedicated investigation by the Portland Police Bureau,” said State Forensic Anthropologist Hailey Collord-Stalder, Ph.D. “By collaborating closely with the State Medical Examiner’s Office and combining resources, the agencies were able to advance the case in ways none could have achieved alone.”

Hwy. 126 Fatal, Lane Co.
LANE COUNTY, Ore. (4 May 2026) – On Sunday, May 3, 2026, at 1:54 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a three-vehicle fatal crash involving two motorcycles on Highway 126 near milepost 2.7 in Lane County. The preliminary investigation indicated a white Volvo 240, operated by Lorna Marie Trujillo (50) of Florence, slowed to a stop in the eastbound lane of Highway 126 to make a left turn into a mobile home park near Rose Hill Road when it was rear-ended by a green Harley Davidson Heritage Softail motorcycle, operated by Brandon Taylor Oetken (38) of Florence, which sent the rider to the ground. A white Harley Davidson Ultra Classic motorcycle, operated by John Carlos Moreno (65) of Florence, then struck the rear of the green motorcycle causing the operator to lose control and lay the motorcycle on its side. The white Harley Davidson slid approximately 150 feet before coming to a stop. Good Samaritans stopped to render aid to the two down riders. The operator of the green Harley Davidson (Oetken) was pronounced deceased at the scene. The operator of the white Harley Davidson (Moreno) was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. The operator of the Volvo (Trujillo) was transported to an area hospital as a precaution with reported complaints of pain. The highway was impacted for approximately one hour during the on-scene investigation. OSP was assisted by Western Lane Fire and Rescue, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, Florence Police Department, the Lane County Medical Examiner’s Office, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Click It or Ticket Campaign Coming to CBPD
CBPD release - The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) will be participating in the upcoming U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign. This national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, will run May 18-31, 2026. “Seat belt use should be an automatic habit for drivers and passengers alike,” said CBPD Captain Tom Lindahl. “During the Click It or Ticket campaign, we’ll be working with our fellow law enforcement officers across local and state lines to ensure the message gets out to drivers and passengers. Not buckling up could mean a ticket, or worse, risking a life.” In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, which is good, but it can be better. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night. Buckle Up the Right Way: • Place the shoulder belt across the middle of the chest and away from the neck. • Lay the lap belt across the hips and not the stomach. • NEVER place the seat belt behind the back or under arms. For more information on the Click It or Ticket seat belt high-visibility enforcement campaign, please visit NHTSA.gov/ClickIt.
