Honoring NB Fire Chief for 35-Years of Service
City of North Bend release - The City of North Bend recently recognized Fire Chief Jim Brown for 35 years of dedicated service to the fire service and the community, marking a career defined by leadership, commitment and a deep connection to the place he calls home. Mayor Jessica Engelke and the North Bend City Council honored Brown during a recent council meeting, celebrating a career that began more than four decades ago and has spanned nearly every level of the department. Brown first joined the North Bend Fire & Rescue Department in 1983 as a volunteer firefighter. After attending school in the Salem area and gaining experience in the Woodburn Fire District, he returned to his hometown in 1990 as a full-time firefighter. Over the years, he steadily rose through the ranks, serving more than two decades as assistant chief before being promoted to fire chief in 2019. Today, Brown leads a department responsible for providing comprehensive emergency services to the North Bend community, including fire suppression, advanced life support emergency medical services, hazardous materials response, technical rescue and fire prevention. The North Bend Fire Department is a combination agency staffed by career personnel and volunteers and maintains an ISO Class 3 rating while also providing mutual aid support to neighboring jurisdictions. “Chief Brown’s career represents the very best of public service,” said North Bend City Administrator David Milliron. “For 35 years, he has answered the call—often in the most difficult and dangerous circumstances—to protect the lives and property of North Bend residents. His leadership, professionalism and commitment to this community have shaped the department into the respected and highly capable organization it is today.” Under Brown’s leadership, the department continues to operate an all-hazards response model that includes fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue, fire investigation, domestic preparedness planning and public education. Firefighters also conduct regular inspections of commercial buildings, respond to medical emergencies and participate in a wide range of community outreach efforts. The department operates two fire stations and maintains a fleet that includes multiple engines, an aerial ladder truck and specialized equipment such as a rescue boat, drone response team, and technical rescue trailer. Milliron said Brown’s leadership has helped maintain a strong culture within the department while preparing it for the future. “Chief Brown has always emphasized teamwork, professionalism and service to the community,” Milliron said. “He has worked tirelessly to ensure our firefighters have the training, equipment and support they need to do their jobs safely and effectively. North Bend is fortunate to have someone with his experience and dedication leading our fire and rescue operations.” Beyond emergency response, Brown and his team are also active in community programs, including public education efforts, fire prevention initiatives and community events hosted in partnership with the department’s volunteer association. Milliron noted that Brown’s long tenure reflects a deep commitment not only to the profession but also to the community itself. “Chief Brown has spent his career protecting the town where he chose to raise his family,” Milliron said. “That kind of commitment says everything about who he is and the values he brings to the job every day. On behalf of the City of North Bend, we congratulate him on 35 years of exceptional service and thank him for everything he has done—and continues to do—for this community.”

Reminder: Late-season Risk Reduction Measures Start April 1
ODFW release - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is sending out a notice to the Commercial Dungeness Crabbing Fleet a reminder that the temporary rule changes that moved the implementation of the existing late-season whale entanglement risk reduction measures from May 1 to April 1 effective this current crab season (2025-26) remain in place. Order your buoy tags now if you plan to crab in April. The regulation changes include: Reduced pot limits by 20% combined with a 40-fathom depth restriction, effective April 1. This means beginning April 1, the amount of Dungeness crab gear allocated to each Dungeness crab permit is reduced by 20% and no gear will be allowed outside 40 fathoms. Required late-season buoy tag in addition to primary season tag. This means beginning April 1 all Dungeness crab gear in the water must have a secondary tag attached to it in addition to the primary tag. Late-season tags are available for purchase from the Department at cost ($1.15 per tag) but cannot be attached to gear in the water before March 1. An application for late-season tags can be found here. All commercial landings of crab beginning April 1 are prohibited unless late-season tags are purchased and attached. Any gear in the ocean without a late-season buoy tag or outside of 40 fathoms can be retrieved under in-season derelict gear provisions beginning April 21. Please share this information and reminders about crab fishing best practices to reduce risk of marine life entanglements with your networks. Also, consider reporting whale sightings using the WhaleAlert app and sharing the locations of unusually high whale or sea turtle activity with ODFW and with other fishers. All entangled marine mammals or sea turtles should be promptly reported by calling 1-877-SOS-WHALe (1-877-767-9425). Keep a safe distance and do not attempt disentanglement. Thank you for taking these important, proactive steps to avoid entanglements and help to provide continued opportunities to harvest crab.

Researchers develop AI-based tool to protect freshwater fish before they become endangered
By Sean Nealon, OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers spent five years developing an AI-based model to protect freshwater fish worldwide from extinction, with a particular focus on identifying threats to fish before they become endangered. “People sometimes go in to protect species when it’s already too late,” said Ivan Arismendi, an associate professor in Oregon State University’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences. “With our model, decision makers can deploy resources in advance before a species becomes imperiled.” Findings were recently published in the journal Nature Communications. Nearly one-third of freshwater fish species face possible extinction, threatening food supplies, ecosystems and outdoor recreation. The new model uses a machine learning framework to identify potential threats to more than 10,000 freshwater species worldwide. The majority of species accounted for in the model may still be safeguarded before becoming endangered. The model identifies threats beyond traditional assessments by analyzing 52 variables, including damming, habitat degradation, pollution, economics and invasive species. Using publicly available data, the tool can make identifying and protecting freshwater fish more cost-effective. “This uses new metrics to identify what is working to keep species from being listed,” said Christina Murphy, a U.S. Geological Survey assistant unit leader for the Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and a University of Maine assistant professor. “Managers may be able to protect a lot of fish.” The tool allows for more proactive conservation by recognizing ecological, environmental and socioeconomic patterns that are working for fish, helping wildlife stewards implement targeted protections that benefit multiple species at once. “The big takeaways are the socioeconomic impact on conservation potential, and that we are better at identifying what works for species than what doesn’t,” Murphy said. “Managers can set up new conservation programs based on what has worked in the past because a lot of species share what works.” Researchers incorporated data from 12 publicly available sources, the majority from the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They developed and trained an artificial intelligence system capable of analyzing millions of nonlinear relationships among species to identify those at immediate risk and the factors driving those threats. The platform allows users to explore the conditions contributing to vulnerability and evaluate whether similar risks may affect species not yet in urgent danger. The research team also validated the model against existing conservation assessments. They believe their tool can be used in conservation and regional planning efforts and hope it can be leveraged to design new models for protecting birds, trees and other flora and fauna. “Our results suggest conservation works like human health: the signals of ‘well-being’ are often more consistent than the many pathways to illness,” said J. Andres Olivos, a post-doctoral scholar at Oregon State. “For freshwater fishes, safe conditions tend to be predictable, while extinction risk can come from countless combinations of threats.” Murphy began the project in 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher at Oregon State, where she worked with Arismendi and Olivos in collaboration with scientists from the USGS, the U.S. Forest Service and the University of Girona in Catalonia, Spain.

Coast Guard announces passing of Petty Officer Tyler Jaggers following rescue operation injury
USCG release - SEATTLE – Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers, an aviation survival technician assigned to Air Station Astoria, Oregon, passed away the evening of March 5, 2026, as a result of critical injuries suffered during the rescue of a distressed mariner from a commercial ship offshore of Oregon on Feb. 27. As part of an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Astoria, Jaggers was injured while responding to a medical emergency aboard the commercial motor vessel Momi Arrow, located approximately 120 nautical miles west of Cape Flattery, Washington. Following the incident, Jaggers was transported to Victoria General Hospital in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, for initial treatment. He was subsequently transferred to Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, Washington. During a ceremony attended by his family and fellow crew members from Air Station Astoria, the Coast Guard recognized Jaggers’ remarkable courage by meritorious advancement to Petty Officer Second Class and award of the Distinguished Flying Cross, one of the highest military awards for heroism during aerial flight. He succumbed to his injuries and passed away shortly after. “Aviation Survival Technician Jaggers represented the very best of our Service and the Aviation Rescue Swimmer community,” said Admiral Kevin Lunday, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. “He demonstrated extraordinary heroism in the face of danger, upholding the highest standards of courage and excellence for Coast Guard operations. We honor his selfless actions and unwavering devotion to our highest calling: to save others. His family has our deepest condolences and steadfast support, and we continue to honor their privacy during this very difficult time.” Jaggers joined the Coast Guard in January 2022 and served at Air Station Astoria since April 2024. He had previously been recognized for superior performance by the Secretary of Homeland Security while assigned as a crew member aboard U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Legare during operations in the Caribbean Sea. The Coast Guard is conducting an investigation into the cause of AST2 Jaggers’s injuries during the rescue, and will release additional information as it becomes available.

On February 12th, an Oregon State Police (OSP) detective located the suspect vehicle near Armitage Park north of Eugene. It was occupied by one of the suspects, Tina Jean Devault, 57, of Noti. During a search of the vehicle, detectives located approximately 1 pound of methamphetamine. OSP detectives handled the drug possession investigation. Devault was arrested and lodged at the Lane County Jail on a Parole Violation warrant from convictions for Possession of Methamphetamine and Cocaine. OSP detectives later added new charges for Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine, and Delivery of Methamphetamine. Based on information obtained during the investigation, our property crimes detective authored a search warrant for a property in the 21400 block of Highway 126, east of Noti.

Anderson was lodged at the Lane County Jail for Burglary in the 2nd Degree, Aggravated Theft in the 1st Degree, Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle, Driving While Suspended – Misdemeanor, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm. The property crimes detective continued following up, and on February 13th, detectives returned to the property with an additional search warrant. During the service of this warrant, detectives located 9 stolen firearms and ammunition that had been stolen in the burglary. The last suspect, Guy Gilbert Devault, 61, of Noti, is still outstanding, as well as several firearms. Detectives determined Devault was living on a property in the 23000 block of Green Creek Road, and authored a search warrant. Devault was not located during the service of the warrant.
