City of Newport on ICE Facility at their Municipal Airport
City of Newport release - Statement from Newport Mayor Jan Kaplan following Nov. 12 Newport City Council Special Meeting. “On behalf of Newport City Council, I want to begin by acknowledging the deep concern, frustration, and fear many in our community expressed regarding reports of a potential ICE facility being considered for Newport. We have heard your voices through conversations, emails, phone calls and at our Special Meeting, and our community can be assured that we share your commitment to ensuring that Newport remains a place that reflects our values of inclusion, compassion, and respect for all who live and visit here. We recognize that even the possibility of such a facility being erected here has caused understandable alarm. I want to make it absolutely clear that City staff is working alongside our legislative leaders at local, state, and federal levels to explore every available legal and municipal avenue to oppose the siting of an ICE facility in Newport. Newport is a city built on trust, diverse cultures, and shared responsibility. We will work together, thoughtfully, transparently, and within the bounds of the law to protect those values Thank you to everyone who has reached out, spoken up, and stood together for the kind of community we believe in. Your voices and resolve guide our path forward.”

Wyden, Merkley, Bonamici, Hoyle Demand Trump Administration Explain Big Coast Guard Changes in Newport & Reports of New ICE Facility
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden release - Oregon lawmakers urge DHS Secretary Noem to immediately provide the Oregon congressional delegation and state and local officials with a clear explanation of DHS’s actions and intentions in Newport. Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley along with U.S. Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Val Hoyle said today they are demanding the Trump administration answer questions about reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has relocated an essential Coast Guard helicopter away from Newport, and is planning to build an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in this small Oregon Coast town. “We urge you to immediately provide the Oregon congressional delegation and state and local officials with a clear explanation of DHS’s actions and intentions in Newport,” the Oregon lawmakers wrote DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. “Reassigning Coast Guard assets or establishing ICE facilities in Newport would be deeply misguided and should not move forward without full transparency and consultation with local officials.” Wyden, Merkley, Bonamici and Hoyle noted in their letter that the Coast Guard station in Newport serves the city and the central Oregon Coast as a critical lifeline for the state’s fishing industry, coastal visitors, and local residents with boat crews and a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew that has long been a proven lifesaver in search and rescue operations. “Oregonians at the local, state, and federal level have fought long and hard to preserve this crucial part of our coastal safety net, which is why we are so deeply concerned to hear reports that DHS has relocated this helicopter without any notice to our communities,” they wrote Noem. “This move endangers all those at sea, and will certainly undermine search and rescue operations, particularly ahead of crabbing season.” The Oregon lawmakers also sought answers in their letter to persistent reports and rumors that DHS is working to move Coast Guard assets away from Newport to make room for immigration enforcement operations. It appears ICE is looking to install a detention facility or outpost in Newport, as part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to ramp up immigration enforcement. “ICE has already rounded up law-abiding members of our communities who present no threat to public safety, which has created fear among Oregon families,” they wrote. “Newport residents and small business owners remain extremely concerned about the social and economic consequences that will result from ICE enhancing its presence in the town and the surrounding areas.” In addition to requesting a briefing from Noem as soon as possible, the Oregon lawmakers also asked Noem to provide written responses by November 14, 2025, to the following questions: Did DHS direct, approve, or initiate the reassignment of any Coast Guard assets or personnel from Newport? Has DHS or ICE proposed, authorized, or taken any steps toward establishing an ICE detention facility or expanding immigration enforcement activities in Newport? Why did DHS not consult with Oregon state and local officials before making or considering these reported changes, and when will such consultation occur?

Proposed Rule Language for Whitewater Exemption
OR State Marine Board release - The Oregon State Marine Board filed a notice of proposed rulemaking with the Secretary of State’s Office on October 30, to solicit public comments on the proposed rule language to implement the Waterway Access Permit whitewater exemption per HB 2982 from the 2025 legislative session. The exemption pertains to boats under 10 feet in length, engaging in Class IV or higher whitewater runs that are not accessible from an improved boating facility. The Marine Board approved the staff recommendation referencing GIS technology as a better aid to boaters for visualizing specific waterways with Class IV and higher whitewater rapids, where permits would be exempt. Using this map application and a new data layer, boaters can select the “Proposed Whitewater Exemption” layer to comment on the specific river segments being proposed for the permit exemption. Visit the agency’s Boat Oregon Online Map. Agency staff compiled the data with assistance from the American Whitewater Association and additional references to whitewater rapid segments, combined with Marine Board data on waterway access facilities. Additionally, agency staff will hold a hybrid-style public hearing on December 4, 2025, from 11 am to 1 pm. The meeting will be held at the agency’s office, 435 Commercial Street NE, in Salem. The public can also participate online. The Board will meet in January 2026, and may make a motion to adopt, amend, or take other action on the proposed rulemaking. Written comments will be accepted until December 15, by 11:55 pm. Comments can be submitted by email to [email protected] or by U.S. Mail to Jennifer Cooper, Administrative Rules Coordinator, Oregon State Marine Board, 435 Commercial Street NE, Salem, OR 97301. Testimony will not be accepted by telephone.

What to Expect When Visiting Oregon State Parks in 2026
OPRD release - SALEM, Oregon— As this year comes to a close, Oregon State Parks is looking back on 2025 and planning for the 2026 season. This year Oregon State Parks welcomed millions of visitors, maintained nearly 1,000 miles of trails, hosted hundreds of events including mushroom hikes and star parties and finished dozens of projects from the restoration of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse to repaving the campground at Silver Falls State Park. State parks also updated many of its fees to reflect increasing costs and decreasing Oregon State Lottery funding. Depending on the fee, the last update was anywhere from seven to 15 years ago. Staff are looking forward to welcoming visitors for the 2026 season with guided hikes, seasonal events and outdoor adventures. To help visitors enjoy the more than 250 state parks and know what to expect next year, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department gathered the upcoming updates in one place. Winter 2025: Green Friday (Nov. 28): Parking fees will no longer be waived at parks requiring permits on Green Friday. Beginning January 1, 2026: First Day Hike (Jan. 1): Guided hikes at select parks. Parking fees will no longer be waived at parks requiring permits for First Day Hikes.  12-month parking permits will increase from $30 to $60 for Oregon residents and to $75 for out-of-state residents due to the out-of-state surcharge. 24-month parking permits will not be sold in 2026. Existing permits will be honored until they expire. Oregon State Parks will no longer sell Oregon Pacific Coast Passports but will honor passports purchased in 2025 until they expire. Oregon State Parks will no longer honor Jackson County parking permits. Winter/Spring 2026: OPRD is considering updates to its Division 15 Rates and Reservation Policy. The proposed changes would update the rules around cancellations, refunds, special access passes and rate ranges starting as soon as Feb. 2026. The proposed changes are designed to improve the long-term financial sustainability of the state park system and maximize the availability of campsites for visitors by encouraging early cancellation. Public comment is expected to run from December 1 to January 15, 2026. Final approval is required by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission. Additional parks will require a parking fee. The specific parks and implementation date is still being finalized. Implement fees to use dump stations at Oregon State Parks to support the cost of that service. State Parks Day (June 6), will continue to offer free parking for Oregon residents. Camping fees will no longer be waived on that day pending approval of the proposed Division 15 Rates and Reservation Policy updates. “The changes are critical to sustaining state park operations and services now and for the future. We appreciate visitors’ continued support as these necessary changes are implemented,” said Oregon Parks and Recreation Director (OPRD) Director Lisa Sumption. OPRD is projecting at $14 million budget shortfall this biennium due to decreasing lottery revenue, increasing costs and a long-standing need for more sustainable funding. OPRD does not receive general fund tax revenue for operations. OPRD will continue to review and update fees and operations to keep providing high-quality visitor experiences and sustain parks now and in the future. In addition to increasing fees, OPRD is also streamlining costs, planning to add more cabins and yurts to expand capacity and increase revenue and looking for new partnerships and sponsorships to help build a more sustainable funding future.

New analysis yields clearer picture of toxin-producing blue-green algae blooms
By Steve Lundeberg, OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – A long-term analysis shows that a major Oregon reservoir abruptly swapped one type of toxic algae for another midway through the 12-year study period, absent any obvious cause. The project provides a novel look at harmful algal blooms, or HABs, which pose multiple health risks to people and animals worldwide. Harmful algal blooms in lakes and reservoirs are explosions of cyanobacteria, often referred to as blue-green algae. Microscopic organisms ubiquitous in all types of water around the globe, cyanobacteria use sunlight to make their own food and in warm, nutrient-rich environments can quickly multiply, resulting in blooms that spread across the water’s surface. These blooms can form at any time of the year but most often occur between spring and fall. Some types of cyanobacteria produce liver toxins and neurotoxins, while others make toxins that can cause gastrointestinal illness if swallowed and acute rashes upon contact with skin. “Not every cyanobacterial bloom is toxic, but it is always wise to follow the rule of avoiding contact when there’s green growth in the water,” said Theo Dreher, professor emeritus of microbiology at Oregon State University. “Potential exposure to cyanotoxins is of public health concern, and blooms particularly pose a threat to dogs entering lakes.” The body of water in the study, Detroit Reservoir in the Cascade Range foothills, is a popular recreation spot and also the source of drinking water for Oregon’s capital city of Salem and other communities downstream of Detroit Dam on the North Santiam River. In earlier research, Dreher identified the specific cyanotoxins, and the organisms that make them, involved in a 2018 water scare in Salem. Genetic analysis revealed the culprit organisms were two strains of Dolichospermum cyanobacteria, one producing a type of cylindrospermopsin and the other making an uncommon form of microcystin. Microcystin is a recognized liver toxin and potential liver carcinogen, while cylindrospermopsin can affect multiple organs. Microcystin is generally considered the more dangerous of the two, but both represent health hazards. In early summer 2018, low concentrations of microcystin and cylindrospermopsin were found in finished tap water in Salem, prompting a do-not-drink advisory for vulnerable individuals including infants and pregnant women. The Salem episode followed the death of more than 30 steers from drinking cyanotoxin-tainted water from Junipers Reservoir in June 2017, and since then state officials have improved the state’s ability to detect and respond to blooms, Dreher said. In the most recent study, Dreher and collaborators examined the population stability of Detroit Reservoir’s cyanobacteria using data collected by the city of Salem over many years of monitoring, together with additional genetic analysis. “We found that the lake underwent a regime shift in 2018, switching from one where cylindrospermopsin was the main concern to one in which microcystin is the main concern,” he said. “Our case study shows that dominant strain stability is the norm, but sudden population shifts can occur without an obvious cause. “The change in toxin status was caused by changes in the accumulations of the two previously identified Dolichospermum strains. We know the toxin producers and don’t have any gaps in understanding the toxin status of the lake, so downstream water utilities will be able to use genetic monitoring tools to track the toxin producers, which could provide early warning of a toxic bloom.” If a person or a pet comes into contact with water that may contain harmful cyanobacteria, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise immediate rinsing with fresh water. Dogs should not be allowed to lick the contaminated water off their fur, the CDC adds, and a veterinarian should be called right away. Anyone swallowing water near a harmful algal bloom should immediately call a doctor or poison control center. Collaborating with Dreher were Oregon State’s Claudia Maier, Connie Bozarth, Jonathan Shepardson and Ryan Mueller; Norman Buccola of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and Elijah Welch of Salem Public Works. Funding for the study, which was published in Harmful Algae, was provided by the state of Oregon’s Drinking Water Protection Fund, the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Study paints detailed picture of forest canopy damage caused by ‘heat dome’
By Steve Lundeberg, OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – A satellite imagery analysis shows that the 2021 “heat dome” scorched almost 5% of the forested area in western Oregon and western Washington, turning foliage in canopies from a healthy green to red or orange, sometimes within a matter of hours. Damage to foliage leads to a range of problems for trees including reduced photosynthesis and increased vulnerability to pests and disease, scientists at Oregon State University say. The study by researchers at OSU and the U.S. Forest Service identified 293,546 hectares of damaged forest, a total area of more than 1,000 square miles that’s nearly the size of Rhode Island. They took a deep dive into the affected areas to learn the factors that made some stands more vulnerable than others to the extreme heat event experienced by the Pacific Northwest in June 2021. Over three days, the heat dome brought temperatures as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit in Portland, 117 in Salem and 121 in Lytton, British Columbia, the highest temperature ever recorded in Canada. The coastal town of Quillayute, Washington, checked in at 110 – 45 degrees above its average high temperature for the day. The forest analysis showed that sun exposure, microclimate and aspect – the direction a slope faces – were factors that made some areas more sensitive to the heat dome. Other factors were tree species, stand age, the timing and pattern of budburst – when dormant buds open and begin to grow – and the presence of foliar pathogens such as the fungus that causes Swiss needle cast in Douglas-fir trees. “The extent of foliar mortality shown in this study, particularly in iconic, old-growth forests, suggests that longer-lasting or hotter heat waves in the future could lead to even more widespread impacts on invaluable Pacific Northwest forests,” said OSU College of Forestry doctoral graduate Adam Sibley. The researchers found that culturally and economically significant species like western redcedar, western hemlock and Sitka spruce were disproportionately prone to heat damage, including in old-growth stands where they dominate the canopy. The scientists say the findings highlight the multifaceted challenges posed to forests by extreme heat waves, as well as the need to better understand their impact on forest ecosystems as the climate warms. “The heat dome was an uncontrolled test of the thermal tolerance of trees in their native environments,” said Chris Still, a tree physiologist in the College of Forestry. “To our knowledge, there are no examples of heat wave-induced foliar death at this scale in the historical record. This study provides the first spatially comprehensive estimate of forest canopy damage from the heat dome and provides land managers with important information in advance of future extreme heat waves.” The research revealed extensive foliar scorch on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, home to Olympic National Park, recognized as both a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve. Sixty-nine percent of the park’s forest is old growth dominated by western hemlock, western redcedar and Sitka spruce, among the species shown to be most sensitive. “If heat waves increase in frequency and severity, we may see major changes in the composition of old-growth forests, as well as reduced productivity for plantation forests,” said Sibley, a former research associate at Oregon State and now a remote sensing scientist at Chloris Geospatial in Boston. Also contributing to the study were the College of Forestry’s Matthew Gregory, David Shaw, Nina Ferrari, Alex Dye and Mark Schulze; David Rupp of the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences; and Chris Daly of the College of Engineering. The National Science Foundation, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station funded this research, which was published in Global Change Biology.

Oregon seeks $1 billion federal investment in rural healthcare
SALEM, Ore. — Oregon Health Authority (OHA) submitted its application for a federal grant program that could bring up to $1 billion in new investment to strengthen healthcare in Oregon’s rural and frontier communities. Through the federal Rural Health Transformation Program, Oregon is seeking funding to expand access to care, grow the healthcare workforce, modernize technology and data systems, and invest directly in community-driven prevention and wellness initiatives. The program was established under House Resolution 1, the federal government budget reconciliation bill that was signed into law in July. To develop the application, OHA undertook a statewide engagement process between August and October that was designed to center regional voices. The agency: Hosted two statewide virtual public forums attended by hundreds of residents; Conducted two online surveys that reached hundreds more providers, patients and community organizations; Held formal consultation and follow-up meetings with Oregon’s Nine Federally Recognized Tribes; and Reviewed extensive written input from hospitals, clinics and community partners across rural, frontier and remote regions. Across these conversations, people in Oregon emphasized prevention, healthy communities and workforce resilience as top priorities. They called for investments in community-based care models, support for local recruitment and retention, and incentives to attract non-traditional and culturally responsive providers. “Informed by the insight of our statewide rural partners, OHA developed a robust plan for transforming rural health in Oregon,” said OHA Director of Health Policy and Analytics Clare Pierce-Wrobel. “As a state with one-third of its residents living in rural and frontier communities, we believe our proposed initiatives meet or exceed the expectations of this funding opportunity—and expect the federal government will recognize the importance of this investment for Oregon’s rural communities when making awards later this year.” If funded, Oregon’s initiative would roll out in two phases: Phase 1 (2026–2027): Immediate “catalyst” grants for shovel-ready projects that expand access, improve local infrastructure, and strengthen emergency and maternity care. Phase 2 (2028–2031): Larger, regional initiatives focused on long-term sustainability, shared infrastructure and cross-sector collaboration. The proposal also includes a dedicated Tribal initiative, providing direct funding for Tribal-led strategies that strengthen sovereignty, workforce development and culturally grounded care. Nationwide, the Rural Health Transformation Program will distribute $50 billion between 2026 and 2031. Federal law requires the U.S. government to make program award decisions by Dec. 31. More information is available on the OHA Rural Health Transformation Program webpage, including the following documents: a project summary, a project narrative, a budget narrative, a letter to OHA partners and a letter of support from Gov. Tina Kotek.
