ODF Reminds Oregonians to Check Local Outdoor Fire Regulations
Salem, Ore. – The Oregon Department of Forestry understands that with wildfire regulations changing at the city, county and state level, knowing what the fire restrictions are in your area may be confusing. Here are some quick Q&As to help clear up some of that confusion. When can I burn my yard debris? Across Oregon there are multiple jurisdictions that vary from city to county to state to federal, and each may have different restrictions on fire. While in fire season, debris burning is prohibited on ODF-protected lands. But what if you’re outside of ODF jurisdiction? The easiest way to look up if it is safe to burn your yard debris is to visit beforeyouburn.net. The Before You Burn program simplifies and coordinates burns and provides real-time information to ensure the safety of Oregon’s communities. The online system empowers community members with the knowledge they need to comply with local regulations and burn responsibly. What if I want to have a campfire? Oregon is well known for its beautiful landscapes and forests, making outdoor recreation one of the most popular pastimes in the state. To keep these beautiful forests, it’s important to check the local regulations of the area or the regulations at state or national park you’re camping in. Campfires may be allowed but only in designated sites and, depending on fire danger, they may not be allowed at all. Regulations may vary depending on where you are, so using the public resources available will make planning your trip much easier. Look up ODF fire regulations before recreating. Oregon State Parks has a trip planning tool that will give you all the information you need to know about the campsite you’re staying at. Find the national forest you’re visiting and plan ahead. Learn about the different recreation activities and campground restrictions on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The common theme, especially during this time of year, is to check local regulations before you go. Taking that extra step will help protect Oregon’s forests from wildfire and keep them open for recreation. What about the prescribed fires around me? Is that safe? Prescribed burning is a valuable tool for maintaining a healthy forest, reducing wildfire smoke and reducing risks to public safety. These fires are thoroughly planned throughout the year to meet ecological objectives and are only lit when weather and fuel conditions are favorable to protect sensitive communities and areas from their smoke. If conditions change and are deemed unfavorable, the burn is postponed.

Value-aligned messages increased COVID-19 vaccination intentions, study finds
By Sean Nealon, OSU release - BEND, Ore. – Vaccine-hesitant adults were more likely to consider getting a COVID-19 vaccine when public health messages acknowledged distrust of government and affirmed values such as personal liberty, a new study found. Researchers at Oregon State University-Cascades developed vaccination messages tailored to values commonly held by vaccine-hesitant individuals – those that delay accepting or refuse vaccinations despite them being available – and tested them in two online surveys involving 1,170 unvaccinated U.S. adults in spring 2021 as vaccines became widely available. In the first survey, the proportion of participants who said they would get vaccinated as soon as possible after reading a message that acknowledged distrust of government increased by 16 percentage points. In the second survey, after hearing a message that affirmed the value of personal liberty, the proportion of participants who said they were more likely to get vaccinated increased by nearly 8 percentage points. The study’s authors, Christopher Wolsko, an associate professor of psychology, and Elizabeth Marino, an associate professor of anthropology, emphasized that the approach is not about persuading people to take a specific action. “We’re not saying this is a way to get people to take the vaccine, but it is a way to create the conditions for information to be heard and considered,” Wolsko said. “Our background research that led to this article indicates that the experience of distrust is often rooted in personal experiences – like feeling dismissed or discriminated against in a health care setting – rather than exposure to mis- or disinformation.” Marino said that even a brief acknowledgement that people’s fears and feelings of distrust are valid can completely change the likelihood that the next part of a conversation will go well. “Especially in today’s highly polarized social environment, we think people are constantly trying to determine whether someone poses a threat,” she said. “When you authentically reduce that threat, they become more open to considering new information.” The study, published in PLOS One, supports a broader communication strategy that aligns messages with audience values. Marino and Wolsko say the approach applies beyond public health, including efforts to encourage safe firearm storage as a suicide prevention measure, conservation behaviors among climate change skeptics, and more inclusive attitudes toward rural individuals among urban centers of higher education – all areas they have studied. For the COVID study, the researchers conducted focus groups with vaccine-hesitant adults in early 2021 and identified three recurring concerns for their hesitancy: distrust of institutions, concerns about personal liberty and freedom of choice and a desire to protect and reconnect with family. From this analysis, they developed four messaging slogans: Government – “You don’t have to trust the government, here are the facts.” Families – “Everybody wants to get back to their families,” which affirmed people’s concerns about maintaining normal family life. Choice – “It’s your life, it’s your choice.” Liberty – “COVID and politicians: Don’t tread on me.” They also developed a control message: “First, consider the following information about the COVID-19 vaccines from physicians at the Mayo Clinic and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).” Participants were randomly assigned to view one of the value-based slogans in large, bold font or the control message before receiving one page of information from the Mayo Clinic and CDC about COVID-19 vaccines. Researchers measured individuals’ attitudes in a few different ways, including by asking them how likely it was that they would get vaccinated on a six-point scale, ranging from “I will definitely NOT get the vaccine” to “I am certain that I’ll get the vaccine.” Findings included: In the first survey, 49.5% of participants in the control group said they would get the vaccine as soon as possible. That increased to 65.6% among participants who received the government slogan. Rates also increased among participants who received the families (58.1%) and choice (55.1%) slogans. (The first survey did not include the liberty slogan.) In the second survey, 40.7% of participants in the control group indicated they would get the vaccine as soon as possible. That increased to 48.5% in the liberty slogan group and 45.2% in the government slogan group. Rates were lower among participants who received the families (39.4%) and choice (39%) slogans. Marino and Wolsko, co-directors of the Laboratory for the American Conversation at OSU-Cascades, caution against viewing the approach as merely a tool of persuasion or manipulation. Their goal is to better understand the values and perceptions of risk that shape public attitudes and, in turn, improve public discourse. “Our findings suggest that understanding and empathizing with the authentic experiences of vaccine-hesitant individuals can make communication around health policy less defensive, less volatile and more open to new information – for both sides of the issue,” Wolsko said.

Humbug Mtn. & Cape Blanco State Park Closures this Month
OPRD release - Trails will be closed starting mid- and late October. Port Orford, Ore. – Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is conducting several land and forest management projects in October. This is a regular part of OPRD’s stewardship and supports healthy ecosystems. Check the park pages on the web for updates. Humbug Mountain State Park - Humbug Mountain Trail will be closed for about two weeks starting Monday, Oct. 19. OPRD is managing a sudden oak death infestation in tanoak. Sudden oak death is an invasive pathogen that causes tanoak to die. The treatment is necessary to remove the infected and dead tanoak to reduce the spread of sudden oak death within the park and surrounding areas. Within the 21-acre treatment area all tanoak will be cut down and the tree stumps will be treated with herbicide to limit resprouting. This treatment will also reduce the chances of wildfire risk by removing the unhealthy and dead trees. Initially discovered in Oregon in 2001, this pathogen spread within Curry County affecting private, state, and federal landowners. Cape Blanco State Park - The horse trail system will be closed for about three weeks starting Monday, Oct. 26. OPRD is reducing tree density within this area to enhance habitat, specifically to support the state and federally listed endangered western lily. This work will take place across 34 acres and include removing tree seedings, saplings and other trees to allow more meadow species to thrive and reduce encroachment in the sensitive western lily area.

Bridge Repairs North Coast
ODOT release - SEASIDE — ODOT crews have completed repairs to two Beaver Creek bridges on OR 47 near Vernonia, replacing deteriorated timber supports to keep the bridges open and operational. The work involved replacing timber caps at mileposts 65 and 69. These large horizontal beams sit on top of the bridges’ vertical supports and help carry the weight of the structures. Replacing them is complex work that requires crews to carefully lift each bridge, remove the deteriorated timber and install a new cap. Timber structures are common in the area. ODOT’s District 1, which includes Clatsop, Columbia, and Tillamook counties, has more than 50 of them. Timber structures in District 1 have an average age of 78 years and crews are seeing more problems as the timber ages. Repair options are limited. District 1 crews often replace deteriorated timber with new timber because steel is vulnerable to rust in the coastal air. ODOT’s Technical Services staff work closely with maintenance crews to develop practical repairs. The work was completed through ODOT’s Major Bridge Maintenance Program, which focuses on keeping bridges open and operational. ODOT employees generally perform routine highway and bridge maintenance. Larger preservation projects, including major bridge repairs and road reconstruction, are typically completed by contractors under ODOT oversight. The Major Bridge Maintenance Program supports repairs that ODOT maintenance teams can complete, sometimes with help from local contractors. The two bridge repairs had a budget of $100,000 and remain under budget. Some final expenses, including material disposal, replacement tools and standard supplies, have not yet been added to the total. Completing these repairs with ODOT crews helped extend the life of the bridges and reduced costs. Early estimates indicated that a contracted project could have cost close to $1 million. The Seaside Bridge Crew completed the work with support from District 1’s Sign Crew, Warrenton Maintenance and ODOT’s Technical Services staff. Employees reached across work groups to provide additional workers, engineering expertise and the approved plans needed to complete the work safely and efficiently. Work began in late July and was completed Sept. 22. Traffic continued moving across both bridges during construction, with flaggers directing travelers through the work zones one direction at a time. Proactive maintenance can prevent smaller concerns from becoming larger, more expensive problems. For example, repaving a typical rural two-lane highway costs about $600,000 to $900,000 per mile. If maintenance is underfunded and the road deteriorates to the point that it must be rebuilt, the cost increases dramatically to about $4 million to $7 million per mile. These bridge repairs allowed ODOT to use the skills of its own crews, share resources across work groups and make the most of available maintenance funding.

SAR Near Summit Lake Trail, Lane Co.
On October 6th at about 10pm Lane County Sheriff Search and Rescue responded to Summit Lake Trailhead for an overdue hiker. The caller became separated from his brother but made it back to their vehicle and called for help. The caller remained at the trail head and waited for searchers to arrive. SAR volunteers trekked in and located the subject uninjured. The individual was guided out in the dark by SAR and reunited with his brother and returned home. This is a great example practicing good tactics in a bad situation. After calling for help the caller remained where he called from; not complicating the issue by going to search himself. The subject who got lost also remained stationery allowing phone pings a better chance of accuracy. The Lane County Sheriff’s Office wants everyone to recreate safely. Please remember, information is crucial to searchers. If you are making a report, ensure you have a way to be reached for additional information. Wanting to help is admirable, but do not put yourself in the same situation as those you are trying save. Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return. Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high! Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car. Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty! If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket! If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life.

Ison's big day spoiled as Simpson beats SOU with last-second TD
SOU release - ASHLAND – Junior quarterback Ya'j Vance scrambled for a 13-yard touchdown as time expired and Simpson (Calif.) walked off with a 36-35 Frontier Conference West Division win against Southern Oregon on Saturday afternoon at Raider Stadium's Laurel Field. Vance and the Red Hawks (3-3 overall, 1-1 FC West) trailed 35-23 midway through the fourth quarter before driving 71 yards to the end zone and getting a fourth-and-1 stop to take over at their own 26-yard line with 1:56 on the clock and no timeouts left. Vance brought them downfield with six completions, the last an eight-yarder to Jakari Williams at SOU's 13. Williams was unable to get out of bounds, but Vance took the final snap with seven seconds remaining. The clock hit zero a moment after he decided to escape the pocket: He took off through the heart of it, ran toward the left sideline, cut back to the middle of the field and left a few Raiders in his tracks as he got in untouched and triggered Simpson's celebration of its first-ever divisional victory. Vance was dangerous on his feet throughout the day, gaining 56 yards on the ground and extending a several plays to complete 21-of-32 attempts for 346 yards. He hooked up with Ivan Huerta five times for 159 yards and three TDs. The outcome soured a monster performance by SOU running back Fresh Ison, who netted career-highs of 212 yards and four TDs on 27 carries. His final score gave the Raiders a 28-23 lead at the end of the third quarter. With 7:15 left in the fourth, they extended it on Dom Montiel's short TD pass to Walker Bonar that capped an 80-yard march. The Raiders (2-4, 1-1) rushed twice as often as they passed and averaged 6.6 yards per carry. Coen Coloma got 12 for 75 yards. The Raider defense also got to Vance for a season-high six sacks. Raiden House had two and Josue Santos was credited with 1 ½. Both of the Raiders' West Division games have been decided by a single point. The latest was their fourth game out of six this season decided on the final play of a contest. In the teams' non-divisional season opener on Aug. 29, the Raiders clinched a 38-35 win when Danny McDonnell got his fingers on a 41-yard field goal attempt as time expired. The Red Hawks, in their third year of football existence, had lost the program's first 20 games until winning three of their last five. SOU plays next week at rival Eastern Oregon. The Mountaineers are 3-1 entering their West Division opener on Saturday night at Arizona Christian.

Beaver Football Routs San Diego State
OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. —Jesse Legree caught 10 passes for 191 yards and three touchdowns to become the first player in Oregon State history with six straight 100-yard receiving games, and the Beavers rolled past San Diego State, 66-14, on Saturday at Reser Stadium. Oregon State (4-2, 2-0 Pac-12) won its fourth straight game for the first time since closing the 2022 season and extended its win streak over the Aztecs to six. The 66 points were the Beavers' most since a 68-point game against Montana State in 2022, and the 52-point margin was their largest since a 77-3 win over Nicholls State in 2012. Braden Atkinson completed 29 of 38 passes for 409 yards and five touchdowns. It was his sixth straight 300-yard game, leaving him one short of Sean Mannion's school-record seven in a row in 2013, and his second straight 400-yard game, something no Beaver had done since Mannion that same season. Atkinson's 21 touchdown passes tie Sean Canfield (2009) and DJ Uiagalelei (2023) for sixth on Oregon State's single-season list, and he went over 2,000 yards for the year in the first quarter. Legree broke the record of five straight 100-yard games he had shared with Mike Hass (2005) and Brandin Cooks (2013). His 10 catches were a career high, and his three touchdowns give him 12 on the season, tied with James Newson (2002) for third in program history. The true freshman has 932 receiving yards through six games. Oregon State scored touchdowns on each of its first five possessions. The opening drive went 75 yards in 11 plays and ended with an unusual connection, as Atkinson found fellow quarterback Maalik Murphy for a 2-yard touchdown. AJ Newberry followed with a 27-yard touchdown run, and Legree's 11-yard catch on the first play of the second quarter made it 21-0. After San Diego State turned the ball over on downs at its own 32, Cornell Hatcher Jr. scored from a yard out. Decorion Temple then caught a 12-yard touchdown pass to finish a 10-play, 64-yard drive for a 35-0 lead. The Aztecs got on the board with 25 seconds left in the half on an 11-yard pass from Jayden Denegal to Jacob Bostick. Caleb Ojeda answered with a 53-yard field goal as time expired, tying his career long, to send Oregon State into the break ahead 38-7. Legree took over from there. He caught a 71-yard touchdown pass on the Beavers' first snap of the second half, his third catch of 70 or more yards this season, and added a 31-yard score less than three minutes later. Jabari Odoemenem intercepted Draiden Trudeau on the next San Diego State possession, and Jake Reichle finished the ensuing drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 59-7. San Diego State's Jaylon Hawkins returned the next kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. Murphy, who completed all eight of his passes, closed the scoring early in the fourth quarter with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Eddie Freauff, capping a 14-play, 75-yard drive that took 7:48 off the clock. Oregon State finished with 651 yards of offense, its second straight game over 600 yards, which had never happened in program history. The total ranks seventh in school history and came one week after the Beavers piled up 650 at Colorado State. Oregon State has scored 207 points over its last four games, a program record for a four-game stretch. The defense was just as dominant. The Beavers held San Diego State to 147 total yards and six first downs, the fewest first downs by an Oregon State opponent since at least 1996. The Aztecs completed 9 of 27 passes and converted 2 of 13 third downs. Odoemenem led Oregon State with seven tackles to go with his interception. Oregon State held the ball for a school-record 42:18. The Beavers ran 92 plays, picked up 35 first downs and converted 12 of 17 third downs. Eric Olsen caught three passes for 44 yards, extending his streak of games with a reception to 21. Kourdey Glass added 51 rushing yards on 10 carries. Oregon State remains home to face Washington State on Saturday, Oct. 17. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m., on USA Network.

"We were much improved from two weeks ago. This is a national-caliber field. We were likely ranked 30th of 34 teams coming in so we upgraded today," head coach Louie Quintana said. "We raced more cohesive and had a simple plan and executed it. We still have some parts that could have raced better today - but those things happen. I am about the leap forward in this national field. I know they are building momentum heading into conference," Quintana continued. Noemi Lundgren led the top squad in Madison, placing 78th in 20:38.6, followed by Sage Brooks in 103rd just 16 seconds later.

Ducks Fall to Bruins at Home
Oregon struggled to find offensive consistency without injured QB Dante Moore and lost Saturday. UO release by: Rob Moseley - EUGENE, Ore. — With injured starting quarterback Dante Moore watching from the sidelines in street clothes, the No. 13 Oregon football team struggled to find offensive consistency until the fourth quarter and lost, 17-15, to No. 21 UCLA at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Moore was sidelined by a concussion suffered at USC two weeks earlier. The quarterback who led Oregon's win there in his absence, Dylan Raiola, started Saturday and was 6-of-19 for 43 yards. Eugene native Brock Thomas entered for the fourth quarter and was 11-of-15 for 156 yards and a score, but the Ducks couldn't complete a comeback after falling behind 17-6 early in the fourth. The Oregon defense fought gamely, holding UCLA's vaunted rushing attack to 140 yards — half its season average — and forcing three turnovers. The UO special teams blocked a field goal and was solid in other facets as well. But offensively the Ducks had seven turnovers and were 1-of-12 on third down, unable to take advantage of solid play in the other two phases of the game. "I felt like this was going to be the game, based on our prep, where all three phases really came together," UO coach Dan Lanning said. "And obviously it didn't with the offense today. It's all come together for us quite a bit in the past; it hasn't so far this year. We've got to continue to figure out what that looks like." Oregon's defense helped the Ducks take an early lead, recovering a fumble near the goal line that set up Jordon Davison's rushing touchdown that made it 6-3 midway through the first quarter. But the UO offense ultimately didn't mount a drive longer than 27 yards until the fourth; 179 of Oregon's 272 total yards came after UCLA took a 17-6 lead with 13:31 left in the game. By that time, Thomas had replaced Raiola. "You can't turn the ball over," said Raiola, who threw two interceptions. "I was reckless with the ball today, and you can't win football games like that. I thought we prepared; I thought our coaches prepared us. And we lost. … The team counts on me to make those plays, and I let them down today. So I'm going to work my hardest to not let this happen again." UCLA also finished the game without its starting quarterback, as the UO defense had two sacks among seven tackles for loss on the afternoon and made two interceptions. But the Bruins had a handful of explosive plays in the passing game to complement their rushing attack and came away with the win. "At the end of the day, although we did a good job on defense, we didn't do a great job," UO edge defender Teitum Tuioti said. "We didn't live up to our own expectations. Seventeen points is too much for us; our standard is 13 points or less. So us as a defense has to do better." Oregon's first play of 20 yards or longer was a 36-yard pass from Thomas to Dakorien Moore that set up a UO field to make it 17-9 with 5:16 to play. Three minutes later, a 44-yard touchdown reception by Evan Stewart got the Ducks within 17-15. But as they did after the early Davison touchdown, the Ducks went for two and were unsuccessful. Asked postgame about the quarterback situation heading into a home game against Nebraska next week, Lanning said "it would be too early to make a decision there. Have to go back, evaluate the film, evaluate practice, and see what it looks like, and then see where Dante (Moore) is at." Oregon (1-1, 3-2) hosts Nebraska, Saturday, 8p, televised on Fox.
