Recreational use advisory lifted for Thief Valley Reservoir
PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has lifted the recreational use health advisory issued for Thief Valley Reservoir in Baker and Union Counties.- OHA issued the advisory July 2. Water monitoring has confirmed that water levels are too low for regular recreational use. OHA advises recreational visitors to continually be alert to signs of cyanobacteria blooms. This is because blooms can develop and disappear on any water body at any time when bloom conditions are favorable. Only a fraction of water bodies in Oregon are monitored for blooms and toxins, so it’s important for people to become familiar with signs of a bloom, exposures and symptoms by visiting OHA’s Cyanobacteria (Harmful Algae) Blooms website at http://www.healthoregon.org/hab. When recreating, people, and especially small children, and pets should avoid areas where the water is foamy, scummy, thick like paint, pea-green or blue-green, or if thick brownish-red mats are visible or bright green clumps are suspended in the water. If you see these signs, avoid activities that cause you to swallow water or inhale droplets, and keep pets out of the area. Cyanotoxins can still exist in clear water. When a bloom dies, toxins released may reach into clear water around the bloom. Blooms can be pushed into other areas, leaving toxins behind. There also are species of cyanobacteria that anchor themselves at the bottom of a water body, live in the sediment, or can grow on aquatic plants and release toxins into clear water. For health information or to report an illness, contact OHA at 971-673-0482, or visit OHA’s Cyanobacteria (Harmful Algae) Blooms website.

Major Illegal Marijuana Grow Operation Dismantled in Clackamas & Marion Counties
OSP release - Salem, OR (11 Sept. 2026) – A three?day collaborative drug enforcement operation culminated in the seizure of more than 110,000 illegal marijuana plants and over 81,000 pounds of bulk marijuana with an estimated value of $20 million. Investigators from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Interagency Task Force, supported by the Clackamas County Public Safety Levy, and the Oregon State Police Drug Enforcement Section completed a three?day operation to disrupt and dismantle a suspected drug trafficking organization responsible for several illegal marijuana grows in Clackamas and Marion counties. In response to community complaints, the Clackamas County task force and OSP launched separate investigations that led detectives to uncover several additional illegal marijuana grows. Over the course of the investigations, detectives determined they were investigating the same suspects. They joined forces, ultimately serving search warrants at six locations across Clackamas and Marion counties. During the service of search warrants, officers located and destroyed 110,437 illegal marijuana plants and 81,460 pounds of bulk marijuana. In addition, 86 firearms and $11,500 in U.S. currency were seized. Jaimee Virrueta?Gomez, 35, from Gerber, California, was arrested on charges of Unlawful Manufacture of a Marijuana Item and Unlawful Possession of a Marijuana Item. The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges will be referred to both the Marion and Clackamas County District Attorney’s Offices. Responding officers found individuals living and working in dangerous conditions without adequate shelter, running water, plumbing, or electricity. Investigators are working to determine whether the workers came to the site through force, fraud, or coercion. Law enforcement agencies requested on?scene crisis response and victim support at multiple locations in both counties. Service providers included Safety Compass, the Anti?Trafficking Project (AT:Project), a program of J Bar J, and the Cannabis Workers Resilience Partnership. Victim advocates and service providers offered crisis intervention, safety planning, basic necessities such as food and water, emergency transportation to safety, and connections to emergency shelter and housing. Legal services referrals were also available. Safety Compass provided confidential advocacy at every location. During this multi?day operation, 55 workers were offered services and continued follow?up support. Several county and state agencies assisted in the investigation of environmental crimes related to water use, pesticide and fertilizer runoff, and unlawful solid waste disposal. Additional assisting agencies included the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office, Marion County District Attorney’s Office, the Westside Interagency Narcotics (WIN) team, the Rogue Area Drug Enforcement (RADE) team, the Douglas County Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT), the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement Team (MADGE), Port of Portland Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Interagency Task Force and the OSP Domestic Highway Enforcement team are multi?jurisdictional narcotics task forces that identify, disrupt, and dismantle local, multi?state, and international drug trafficking organizations using an intelligence?driven, multi?agency, prosecutor?supported approach. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Interagency Task Force includes members from the Canby Police Department, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Oregon National Guard Counterdrug Task Force. The task force is supported by the Clackamas County Public Safety Levy. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Interagency Task Force and OSP’s Drug Enforcement Section are supported by the Oregon?Idaho High?Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). The Oregon?Idaho HIDTA program is an Office of National Drug Control Policy sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multi?agency drug enforcement initiatives throughout the state. Safety Compass, the Cannabis Workers Resilience Partnership, and the Anti?Trafficking Project are funded in part by the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission Illegal Marijuana Market Enforcement Grant Program.

Coast Guard rescues injured hiker from Three Sisters Wilderness
USCG release - ASTORIA, Ore. — A Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew from Air Station North Bend assisted with the evacuation of an injured hiker from a lava field near North Sister in the Three Sisters Wilderness, Saturday, Sept 5. Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Northwest District command center received notification at approximately 4 p.m. from Oregon Emergency Operations Center regarding a male hiker with injuries to his knee and wrist. Ground search and rescue crews, including EMTs, were able to reach the patient and offer initial treatment and stabilization. However, due to loose rocks and steep terrain, the ropes team could neither hike the patient out nor create anchors for a safe rope rescue. The Coast Guard aircrew arrived on scene at approximately 6 p.m., and battling deteriorating weather conditions, hoisted the hiker at approximately 7 p.m. The hiker was then transported to Eugene Airport where the individual was transferred to local EMS, who subsequently transported the individual to Riverbend Hospital. "Tough mountain hoists are always a big challenge, but our helicopter crew leaned on their everyday practice to stay calm and focused,” said Lt. Cmdr. Brandon Books, search and rescue pilot at Air Station North Bend. "That preparation, along with great help from our partner agencies on the ground, made it possible to lift the hiker out safely and get him the medical help he needed.

Hwy. 224 Fatal, Union Co.
UNION COUNTY, Ore. (11 Sept. 2026) – On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at approximately 1:04 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a single-vehicle motorcycle crash on Highway 244 near milepost 37 in Union County. The preliminary investigation indicated a gray BMW motorcycle operated by Marvin Joseph Mason, 84, of Kennewick, Washington, was traveling on Highway 244 near La Grande when it left the roadway for an unknown reason and crashed near the bank of the Grande Ronde River. Mason had been riding with another motorcyclist, Dean Allen Moore, 73, of Richland, Washington, who was operating a silver BMW motorcycle. At one point, Moore noticed Mason was no longer behind him, turned around to search, and eventually located Mason and the crashed motorcycle. The operator of the gray BMW (Mason) was pronounced deceased at the scene. The operator of the silver BMW (Moore) was reportedly not injured. The highway not impacted during the on-scene investigation. OSP was assisted by the Union County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

UO Football Falls at Stillwater, OK
UO release - Ducks Looking to Regroup After Road Loss - By: Rob Moseley - STILLWATER, Okla. — A week after surviving mistakes to come from behind and win its opener, Oregon again rallied back from early errors but this time couldn't hang on and lost Saturday at Oklahoma State, 39-31. The Ducks trailed 27-17 early in the second half, with both early touchdowns thanks to big plays on defense. The offense rallied to give the Ducks the lead early in the fourth, but the Cowboys responded with the final 10 points to hand Oregon its first road loss since 2023. A game delayed nearly 90 minutes by weather saw the home team get off to a quick start. A pick-six by Devon Jackson and an interception by Matayo Uiagalelei that set up a rushing touchdown kept Oregon close while the offense struggled to get untracked in the first half. Dante Moore threw touchdowns to Dakorien Moore and Evan Stewart after halftime, but the Ducks turned it over on their final two possessions, once on downs and once with a fumble. "We didn't have a lot of rhythm on offense; defensively, we gave up way too many explosives, some poor eye discipline, not winning at the point of attack," UO coach Dan Lanning said. "Our guys are much more capable of that, so all that starts with me. I didn't prepare our guys well enough." Penalties and turnovers hurt the Ducks a week earlier in their opening win against Boise State, and neither was as impactful for most of the day Saturday, until a late fumble when Oregon was already down eight in the final two minutes. But Lanning said tackling and play in the trenches remain concerns after both game one and game two. "This is a game that we needed to show improvement," he said. "We didn't show improvement, so we have to see that now moving forward with our team." The Ducks opened the preseason with their highest top-25 ranking ever, No. 2, and slipped to No. 6 after the uneven win over Boise State. A bigger drop is to come after Saturday's loss; while Oregon's championship aspirations both nationally and in the Big Ten remain intact despite the nonconference loss, the Ducks have much to address in their final nonconference game, against Portland State in Autzen Stadium this next Friday. "We have to evaluate everything that we're doing," Lanning said. "On the same note, a lot of what we're doing is the same thing that's had a lot of success the last few years. So it's not like you throw stuff in the trash. You figure out where are the holes, how do you patch the holes and how do you fix them and attack them?" After the 83-minute pregame lightning delay, Oregon struggled to contain Oklahoma State's offense and trailed badly in total yardage at halftime, 353-101. A 96-yard pick-six by Jackson in the first quarter was a bright spot, as was another interception in the second quarter by Uiagalelei, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by Jordon Davison. Still, the Ducks trailed 24-17 at halftime, and Oklahoma State kicked a field goal to open the second half. That's when Moore and the UO passing game — which had three drops in the first half — got going. The UO quarterback was 5-of-5 for 80 yards and a touchdown on the drive that ended in Dakorien Moore's TD reception, and a TD to Stewart on the first play of the fourth quarter gave Oregon the lead at 31-30. But Oklahoma responded with a touchdown to lead 36-31. The teams then traded punts, before Oregon went for it on fourth down in its own territory with 6:48 to play, and was stopped. "I think you have to be aggressive in those moments, especially when you're not having success, to keep it going," Lanning said. "If it works, it works; if it doesn't, then you create short fields." That short field resulted in an Oklahoma State field goal for a 39-31 lead. Oregon had a chance to tie with a touchdown and two-point conversion after taking over again with 3:11 to play, but a fumbled pitch between Moore and Dierre Hill ended dreams of a comeback. The Ducks' big-picture dreams remain intact despite Saturday's result. But given immediate concerns, those are far from Oregon's minds. "I don't get that feeling from our players that they were looking too far ahead," Lanning said. "I think they have high aspirations, but I think their focus has been on the immediate. But we didn't execute well enough. I think there's got to be a higher temperament at practice, a higher level of focus at practice for us to be able to execute, and then we have to be faster at making adjustments throughout the game."

OSU Football Close, but Still No Cigar
OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. —Jesse Legree caught eight passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, the second-most receiving yards in a single game in program history, but Oregon State came up just short in a 35-24 loss to No. 13 Texas Tech at Reser Stadium. The true freshman's day also marked the first time an Oregon State player has topped 200 receiving yards in a game since Isaiah Hodgins had 200 at Nevada on Sept. 15, 2018, and the first time it's happened at home since Mike Hass went for 225 against Stanford on Nov. 15, 2003. Legree's 240 yards were shy of Hass' program-record 293 in 2004 against Boise State. Legree got things started with a 75-yard touchdown catch from Braden Atkinson in the second quarter, marking his longest reception of the season and his second catch of 70-plus yards through two games, following a 71-yarder against Houston in the opener. That stretch makes him the first Beaver with receptions of 70 or more yards in back-to-back games since Chad Johnson did it against Washington and Stanford in 2000, and the first FBS player to do it since North Texas' Wyatt Young last season. The 75-yard score was also the 25th of 75-plus yards in Oregon State history. Legree wasn't done. He hauled in a 37-yard touchdown in the third quarter, his second score of the day, to help the Beavers answer right back after Texas Tech had taken a lead. Atkinson matched his top target throw for throw, completing 31-of-51 passes for 413 yards and two touchdowns. It marked the second straight week he's topped 300 yards passing, making him the first Beaver quarterback to do that in back-to-back games since Jake Luton threw for 310 against Colorado and 301 against USC in 2018. Atkinson got in on the scoring himself, too, hauling in a 4-yard touchdown pass from running back AJ Newberry on a trick play in the third quarter — the first receiving touchdown by an Oregon State quarterback since Tristan Gebbia caught one against California on Nov. 21, 2020. Newberry was the quarterback on that trick-play score and finished with 5 catches for 43 yards to go with 8 rushing yards on five carries, giving the Beavers a second playmaker capable of beating teams through the air out of the backfield. Oregon State also got extended, meaningful snaps from some newer faces. Jackson Bowers made his second career start at tight end and caught the first pass of his career for 8 yards in the first quarter. On defense, Blake Thompson made his first career start and led the way among Beaver defensive backs with eight tackles. Caleb Ojeda connected from 34 yards out in the fourth quarter for his first field goal of the season, part of an Oregon State offense that found the end zone on three of its scoring drives. The Beavers' passing attack carried the day for the offense as a whole, which piled up 472 total yards — 403 of them through the air — and 20 first downs. Oregon State twice answered Texas Tech scores to force a 21-21 tie early in the third quarter, then took its first lead of the game, 24-21, on Ojeda's field goal with 13:23 remaining in the fourth. Oregon State stays home next Saturday, hosting Montana on Sept. 19. Kickoff at Reser Stadium is set for 8 p.m. PT, with the game airing live on USA Sports.
