Landslide closes OR 229 between Kernville and Siletz
ODOT release - LINCOLN COUNTY – A large landslide has closed OR 229 between milepost 14 and 15, between Kernville and Siletz. Because the slide has taken out a portion of the road, this will be a long-term closure. The closure follows several days of heavy rain and high water in the area. ODOT crews have been responding to weather-related impacts along OR 229 in recent days, including emergency repairs to a sunken grade area near milepost 9 on Wednesday. At this time, it is not known whether the closure will last days, weeks, months, or longer. ODOT geotechnical crews will need time to assess the slope and determine next steps before a timeline can be established. There is no detour available. Travelers should avoid the area and plan alternate routes. ODOT crews will continue to monitor conditions and will share updates as more information becomes available. Travelers are encouraged to check TripCheck.com for the latest road conditions before heading out.

Commission sets 2026 groundfish seasons
ODFW release - SALEM, Ore.— The Commission set 2026 groundfish regulations during their meeting in Salem Friday. The daily catch limit for lingcod will increase from 2 to 3 fish next year, since lingcod populations are healthy and bycatch of yelloweye rockfish (a protected species) is still low. The daily limit for general marine bag limit (rockfish, greenlings, cabezon, etc.) would stay at 4 fish all year in 2026, with a sub bag limit of 2 canary rockfish (up from 1 fish last year). The 4-fish daily limit is necessary due to continued high effort and catch rates for rockfish. In 2025, a planned 5-fish summertime bag limit had to be reduced back to 4 in August and then to 3 fish in September as the popular fishery approached the harvest guideline much earlier than expected. ODFW continues to work with coastal anglers to understand their preferences for managing black rockfish which are the main driver of the general marine bag limit and season. Some are now leaning toward?higher daily limits, even if it means a?shorter season?— which could influence future rules. The black rockfish harvest guideline for 2026 is slightly higher than last year but remains well below levels prior to 2024. After hearing an informational briefing from staff on Columbia River hook requirements and from anglers in favor of a change, Commissioners directed staff to continue talks with Washington about mainstem hook regulations. Commissioners acknowledged that changing the rule could impact complex joint fisheries management with Washington and reduce fishing days. They also discussed the timing and staff capacity for an additional workload while staff are involved in ongoing agency priority tasks, on top of day-to-day fisheries management. Barbless hooks have largely been required since 2013. Switching to barbed hooks could make it easier for anglers to land fish and align regulations between the mainstem and tributaries. However, it could also shorten fishing seasons due to more fish being landed and retained. "As commissioners, we seek to understand and respond thoughtfully when constituents bring forth these recommendations," said Commissioner Labhart. "I want our constituents to know we heard them— we are having this conversation because we did," said Commissioner DeFrees. "But this issue isn't simple." In other business, the Commission: Approved grant funding as recommended by the R&E board on projects to improve fisheries, fishing access and hatchery programs and appointed Steve Janego as a Sport Fishing Representative and Tim VonSeggern as a Commercial Salmon Industry Representative on the R&E board. Approve grant funding as recommended by the Access and Habitat board to expand hunter access to private land and improve wildlife habitat. Approved updates to commercial license fees, which haven't changed since 2016. The Oregon Legislature approved phased fee increases of 12% in 2026, 4% in 2028 and 4% in 2030 to support managing, monitoring and research for Oregon's commercial fisheries, with revenue also supporting OSP in enforcing commercial fishery regulations. Made reporting commercial landings on electronic fish tickets mandatory and updated regulations to allow the landing of commercial catch by catcher processors into Oregon. Most commercial fishery data is already submitted electronically. New commissioners Dave Moldal and Hugh Morrison joined Friday's meeting. Both were appointed by Governor Kotek and confirmed by the Oregon State Senate in November to the two Northwest region commission positions. Moldal is a lifelong conservationist, sportsman, and wildlife habitat advocate. He has worked professionally in environmental management and planning, wildlife conservation, federal law enforcement, and renewable energy development, most recently as Senior Program Manager at Energy Trust of Oregon. Morrisson is a multi-generational Oregonian who recently retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, completing his federal career as the Regional Director for the Pacific Region. His career provided him many opportunities to work with tribes, states, NGOs, and landowners on fish and wildlife conservation. The meeting was livestreamed and a recording is available at ODFW's YouTube page, https://www.youtube.com/@MyODFW/streams

Coast Guard rescues 2 stranded hunters during historic flooding in Western Washington
USCG release - SEATTLE – While responding to historic flooding in Washington State on Friday, a Coast Guard Air Station Astoria aircrew rescued two stranded hunters from a remote cabin in the Suiattle River Valley, near Mansford, Washington, after floodwaters washed out their only roadway access. Crews from Coast Guard Air Stations Astoria and Port Angeles responded alongside a Washington Air National Guard Sikorsky HH-60 Pave Hawk to assist local responders with a search for missing persons in the Suiattle Valley. During their search efforts, the Astoria aircrew located a small hunting cabin with two hunters signaling the helicopter by flashing lights at the aircraft. The aircrew lowered a rescue swimmer to the cabin, determined the hunters were stranded and hoisted the two individuals into the helicopter using a rescue basket. The hunters became stranded after floodwaters washed out the only road access to their cabin and were running out of food. The aircrew transported the hunters to Darrington Municipal Airport where they were reunited with their families. Coast Guard crews continue to operate alongside federal, state, tribal, and local partners as historic flooding impacts communities throughout the region. As America’s premier maritime first responder, the Coast Guard delivers highly skilled, multi-mission capabilities to save lives and proudly protect the citizens and visitors of the Pacific Northwest.

Drug Lab Discovered near Marcola, Lane Co.
Over the past year, Lane County Sheriff’s detectives received information that James Joseph Love, 51, of Marcola, was operating an illegal BHO extraction lab as well as manufacturing psilocybin products. These types of labs can be extremely hazardous when operated illegally and have resulted explosions and fires in Lane County over the past several years. On December 9th, Lane County Sheriff’s detectives and deputies served a search warrant at Love’s residence in 95100 block of Hazel Lane, north of Marcola. They encountered several clandestine labs in outbuildings on the property. Due to hazardous electrical wiring, chemicals, and pressurized systems still in operation, Mohawk Valley Rural Fire District responded. Further assistance was requested from Eugene Springfield Fire’s HAZMAT crew to ensure the safety of law enforcement personnel on scene conducting the investigation. Love was already in custody at the Lane County Jail on a parole violation. Charges related to this investigation are expected to be added at a later date. Lane County Land Management will be following up on numerous code violations discovered during the criminal investigation. This investigation would not have been possible without the ongoing grant funding from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission’s Illegal Marijuana Market Grant (IMMEG). This grant was created in 2018 by the Oregon Legislature to assist local law enforcement agencies and district attorneys’ offices in their efforts to address the illegal marijuana market in Oregon. This is an ongoing investigation. Further details may be provided at a later time. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact LCSO at 541-682-4141 and reference case #25-5937.

Coos County Sheriff’s Office – Quick Traffic Safety Tip
CCSO release - It’s that time of year again: deer are everywhere, especially at dawn and dusk on Hwy 101, 42, and all our rural roads. If you see one deer, slow down and expect more — they rarely travel alone. Top deer-crash tips from your deputies: • Slow down from dusk to dawn (peak deer hours); • Use high beams when possible — their eyes reflect early; • Don’t swerve — brake firmly and stay in your lane (hitting the deer is usually safer than hitting a tree or oncoming traffic); • Watch for the “deer crossing” signs — they’re not just decorations. Let’s keep our windshields (and our families) intact this season. Report injured deer or road hazards: Non-emergency (541) 269-8911. Emergency: 9-1-1. Drive alert, arrive alive. #CoosCountyOR #WatchForDeer #DriveSafeCoosCounty.
