A mandatory reporter is required by law to report alleged abuse of: Children, Adults age 65 and over, Adults with developmental disabilities, Adults with mental illness, and Residents in nursing facilities. Outside this group, I will not share another man’s words, actions, or identity. I will only speak of my own experience and personal insights. I will speak openly and truthfully in “I” statements (not “you” or “he” statements). Any man may pass at any time. Any man may STOP a process (especially in the service of maintaining safety). I am not here to give advice. If I want advice, I will ask for it specifically. I will ask permission before offering feedback. I am responsible for taking care of myself. If I need something, I will ask for it. If I have questions, I will ask them. If I identify with what another man is saying, I may raise my hand rather than cross commenting. Any man may pass.

This is the final holiday travel season before the REAL ID deadline takes effect
DMV release - SALEM – Thanksgiving and Christmas?are among the busiest air travel days of the year, and this holiday season will be the last before the May 7, 2025, federal REAL ID deadline. Since Oregon’s REAL ID option became available in July 2020, one-third of the state’s 3.7 million driver’s license, instruction permit or identification card holders have chosen to upgrade to a REAL ID. As the deadline approaches, Oregon DMV is ramping up educational efforts to ensure you know what a REAL ID is, if you need one and how soon you should get it. What is REAL ID? REAL?ID is a state-issued driver’s license, instruction permit or ID card that meets federal security standards set by the REAL?ID Act of 2005. Starting next May, the Transportation Safety Administration will require every air traveler 18 years and older to present a REAL ID or an acceptable alternative – like a U.S. passport, passport card or military ID – to board a flight within the U.S. REAL ID-compliant identification will also be required to access certain federal facilities like military bases or nuclear plants. Oregon offers both standard issue and REAL?ID-compliant driver’s licenses, instruction permits and identification cards. It is your choice as to which one to get. Do I need a REAL ID? A REAL ID is not required. You do not need a REAL ID to legally drive, vote or prove identity and age. You do need a REAL ID or other acceptable form of ID if you are 18 years or older and will travel by plane or visit military bases, federally secure facilities or nuclear plants in the U.S. on or after May 7, 2025. Alternatives include a valid U.S. passport, passport card, military ID and others. If you don’t already have one of these other acceptable forms of ID, you may want to consider upgrading to the REAL ID option. How do I get a REAL ID? You must visit a DMV office and bring original documents that prove your identity, date of birth, state address (two proofs of address from two different sources) and lawful status in the U.S. You will also have to provide your Social Security number (verbally, you don’t need to bring in the card) or proof you are not eligible for one. DMV offers an online documents guide to help you create a checklist of what you’ll need to bring. Once you’re gathered your documents, you can make an appointment to get a REAL ID – availability varies based on the DMV office. You can also walk into any DMV without an appointment. The 2024 Legislature authorized DMV to hire 26 staff to work in field offices exclusively for REAL ID transactions. We’ve opened many more appointment slots to accommodate customers’ needs before the deadline. After DMV accepts and scans your submitted documents, your REAL ID card will arrive in the mail in about 20 days. At the DMV, you’ll get a temporary paper card, but TSA will not accept that, so make sure you have an acceptable form of ID before booking a flight. When should I apply for REAL ID? As the May 2025 deadline approaches, DMV offices anticipate being overwhelmed with applicants for REAL ID. The State Department may also be overcome with applications for passports. You may need to order a certified birth certificate from the state where you were born to apply for a REAL ID card or passport, which can add weeks or more to your application processes. Once you get to DMV and conclude your transaction, there will be up to 20 days or more before the card arrives in the mail. Oregon DMV is urging you to avoid the rush and get your REAL ID sooner than later. Taking the time to get a REAL ID now will save you waiting in long lines closer to the deadline. While you cannot get your REAL ID online, once you have a REAL ID, most people can renew or replace it online in the future. Oregon REAL and Not for REAL ID - What does an Oregon REAL ID look like? An Oregon REAL ID has a star inside a black circle in the upper right corner. If you renew and choose not to get a REAL ID, it will say “Not for REAL ID Act” in the upper right corner (47% of Oregonians currently have a “Not for REAL ID Act” credential). Cards issued before July 2020 have nothing in the top right corner. If your card does not have a star, it is not a REAL ID. Anything else I should know? While you can upgrade your driver’s license, permit and ID card to REAL ID any time, switching to REAL ID does not change the expiration date. The REAL ID option costs an additional?$30 every time you apply for an original, renewal or replacement driver’s license, permit or ID card. Fifty-one percent of Oregonians have a U.S. passport. It is unknown how many Oregonians have both a REAL ID and a passport or other federally acceptable identification. A passport is required to travel anywhere outside the U.S., including Canada and Mexico. Learn more about REAL ID in Oregon at oregon.gov/realid.

States set 2025 sturgeon retention seasons
ODFW release - CLACKAMAS, Ore.—Fishery managers from Oregon and Washington set 2025 sturgeon retention seasons for the Columbia River upstream of Bonneville Dam during a hearing in early November.? Sturgeon retention fisheries in both The Dalles Pool and Bonneville Pool will be open two days per week (Wednesdays and Saturdays) from Jan. 1-29 or until the pool-specific quotas are reached.?Anglers should be aware that fisheries in both pools have closed early in recent years due to high angler effort and catch rates that resulted in the harvest guidelines being reached prior to the scheduled season end date. Fishery managers shifted to a days-per-week season structure for sturgeon retention several years ago to have time to assess and react to catch rates in real time, and to try to extend the fishery later into the year. But the fishery continues to see high interest from anglers and harvest guidelines can be met quickly when water temperature, weather, and on-the-water conditions are favorable. The traditional opening date of Jan. 1 also contributes to a shortened retention season, as fishing effort and catch rates are high on the opening day holiday. During today’s hearing, there was some discussion of shifting away from a Jan. 1 opener in the future to provide more fishing days. “It’s difficult to move away from Jan. 1 without a more thorough public process, as we know how important it is to a lot of people up there,” said Tucker Jones, ODFW’s Ocean Salmon and Columbia River Program Manager. “But considering the performance of these fisheries, I am skeptical that we will be able to offer a meaningful number of retention days without reconsidering a Jan. 1 opener in the future.” The John Day Pool fishery will be open seven days per week in 2025, as listed in the permanent regulations, until the harvest guideline is met. This fishery has historically been slower to reach its catch guideline and has provided more opportunity than the Bonneville and The Dalles pools. The current recreational harvest guidelines are 675, 275, and 105 white sturgeon for Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day pools, respectively. However, the Bonneville Pool guideline will be reassessed by fishery managers in late January 2025 after all stock assessment information is finalized. Planned season dates follow but sturgeon anglers are reminded to always check Regulation Updates for the Columbia Zone before fishing as regulations can change quickly, https://myodfw.com/articles/regulation-updates#columbia-zone Bonneville Pool: Season:? Wednesdays and Saturdays, Jan. 1–29 (9 days); Area:?Mainstem Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to The Dalles Dam, and all adjacent tributaries; Allowable Catch:?white sturgeon; Legal size:?38-inch minimum and 54-inch maximum fork length. Fork length is measured in a straight line from the tip of the nose to the fork in the caudal fin (tail) with the fish laying on its side on a flat surface, with the tape measure/ruler positioned flat under the fish.? Bag limit:?One fish daily, two fish annually?(applicable to any/all sturgeon retention fisheries). The Dalles Pool: Season:? Wednesdays, and Saturdays Jan. 1 –29 (9 days total); Area:?Mainstem Columbia River from The Dalles Dam to John Day Dam, and all adjacent tributaries; Allowable Catch: white sturgeon; Legal size:?43-inch minimum and 54-inch maximum fork length. Fork length is measured in a straight line from the tip of the nose to the fork in the caudal fin (tail) with the fish laying on its side on a flat surface, with the tape measure/ruler positioned flat under the fish. Bag limit:?One fish daily, two fish annually?(applicable to any/all sturgeon retention fisheries). Catch-and-release sturgeon angling remains open all year, except angling for sturgeon is prohibited May 1 through Aug. 31 within the designated sanctuary areas in each of the dam tailraces.

Powers takes 1A (6) Prep Football Championship
The unbeaten, top-ranked, No. 1 seed Powers Cruisers, anchored by six-seniors, won the 1A (6) OSAA OnPoint Community Credit Union State Football Championship at Caldera HS (Bend), Saturday, 32-13 over No. 2 seed Harper Charter (Malheur Co.). Tied at 13-13 at the half, the Cruisers put their foot down, literally, in the second-half. Powers did not throw a single pass over the final 24-minutes and instead relied on the feet of Jayce Shorb and Rene Sears to swing the game’s momentum and lead to the Cruisers advantage. Shorb, the power back, had 178-yards on 22-carries, while the shifty Sears ran for 146-yards on 23-carries. Powers outgained Harper Charter 205 to 44 over the third and fourth quarters to bag the school’s first state championship since 1998.
