OR. Dept. of Forestry Board Approves State Forests Management Plan
OR Dept. of Forestry release - SALEM, Ore.—In a 5-2 vote this morning, the Oregon Board of Forestry approved a new Western Oregon State Forests Management Plan (FMP). This long-term plan, along with locally-focused, shorter-term implementation and operation plans, ensures state forests provide the social, economic and environmental benefits required of state forestlands. The new plan is aligned with the expected approval of the submitted Western Oregon State Forests Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) by the federal services later this year or in early 2027. The board’s approval stipulates that the new FMP is to become effective once ODF receives an approved HCP and incidental take permits from the federal services. “This plan, when implemented along with the HCP, will provide economic certainty for timber harvests, environmental protections and enhancements, and continued recreational opportunities for all who depend on, use, and care about Oregon’s state forests,” said Mike Wilson, chief of ODF’s State Forests Division. The new FMP has been in development since 2018, and Wilson has been involved with the effort from the start. “Developing a plan like this over such a long timeframe not only requires immense dedication from ODF staff, but an enormous about of outreach and collaboration,” Wilson said. “Our county partners, tribes, other state agencies, stakeholders and the general public have been essential in crafting a plan that would be compatible with an HCP and still provide decision space for the board and department to manage our state forestlands into the future.” When effective, the new FMP will replace the 2010 Northwest and Southwest FMPs and the 2011 Elliott State Forest FMP. (The Elliott FMP still governs the management of Board of Forestry parcels adjacent to the Elliott State Research Forest.) While state forests management is still government by the current FMP and associated implementation and annual operating plans, the board’s decision gives ODF the clarity to move forward with crafting new plans for fiscal year 2028 that provide more specific management objectives and operational details. For more on the management of state forests see ODF’s website. The Western Oregon State Forests Habitat Conservation Plan under review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries, provides an integrated, collaborative, ecosystem-based approach to species conservation across the landscape and will ideally result in the department being issued incidental take permits (ITPs) for 15 species of wildlife and fish. The conservation measures in the HCP are designed to offset potential impacts from forest management, while the ITPs ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Together, the plan and permits provide a more holistic, cost-effective approach to ESA compliance, while also creating more certainty around the long-term financial viability of managing state forests for economic benefits.

Frequent cannabis users wake up with more of the ‘stress hormone’ in their system
By Steve Lundeberg, OSU release - CORVALLIS, Ore. – Research suggests people who often use cannabis start their day with higher cortisol levels than people who don’t, indicating a relationship between frequent cannabis use and a possible dysregulation of the body’s daily stress rhythms. The paper by Oregon State University scientists was published in the journal Cannabis. The researchers note that stress is a primary motivation to use cannabis and is linked with problematic use. While cannabis may provide short-term stress relief, its chronic use might negatively affect stress-response systems over time, they say. Led by Anita Cservenka of the OSU College of Liberal Arts, the study is one of the few to examine the link between frequent cannabis use and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the major neuroendocrine system that governs the body’s response to stress. The findings are important because in the United States, 29% of adults ages 19-30 report having used cannabis in the previous 30 days, a figure that has nearly doubled over the past 15 years. Greater than 10% of that age group report using cannabis 20 or more times in 30 days – more than twice the percentage seen 15 years ago, the scientists say. Cservenka emphasizes that the research doesn’t prove frequent cannabis use causes people to wake up with higher cortisol levels, or vice-versa. “We would need to study the same groups of people over a longer period of time to understand any cause and effect relationship, but we think this provides an important starting point,” she said. Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal glands; hormones are the body’s chemical messengers. Nicknamed the “stress hormone” because it is released when people find themselves under pressure, cortisol assists in fighting infection, maintaining blood pressure and regulating blood sugar and metabolism. Cortisol is beneficial for dealing with stress in the short term, but prolonged periods of high cortisol levels can have harmful effects on the body, such as an increased risk of anxiety, depression and heart disease. Cservenka and OSU colleagues Julia Donner and Alexia Obrochta centered their cannabis-cortisol study around what’s commonly known as CAR, or cannabis awakening response. “CAR is the cortisol rise that all people experience in the morning, peaking around 30 minutes after they wake up,” Cservenka said. Calculating CAR is straightforward: You measure people’s cortisol right after they awaken, measure it again a half-hour later, then subtract the first number from the second number. The difference is considered a marker of the body’s ability to prepare for the stressors of the day. The collaborators found CAR to be similar among both cannabis users and non-users, but they found cannabis users had a higher starting point – i.e., they woke up with more cortisol circulating through their bodies. “Our research suggests cortisol levels upon awakening may serve as a neurobiological marker of problematic cannabis use, and that connection needs to be investigated further,” Cservenka said. “Earlier studies by other researchers found CAR to be blunted in frequent cannabis users, but we didn’t replicate that finding, which suggests there is a lot of nuance that could be related to analytic strategies and sample characteristics.” Still, she said, it’s reasonable to think that individuals who use cannabis often may have impairments in their daily stress rhythms – and that a dysregulated stress system could in turn lead individuals into a cycle of more cannabis use. Oregon State University, the OSU Center for the Humanities and the OSU College of Liberal Arts funded this research.

Beaverton trampoline park identified as measles exposure site
Health officials urge people who were at location during exposure period to talk to a health care provider - OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore.—A Beaverton trampoline park has been identified as measles exposure location, prompting Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Washington County public health officials to urge people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed. People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at this date and time: Sky Zone Beaverton, 10750 SW Denney Road, Building 1, Suite 110, Beaverton, between noon and 3 p.m. Saturday, July 18. People who were at this location during this date and time period should immediately contact their health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine if you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection.

Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Awarded High-Water Rescue Vehicle through Oregon SPIRE Grant
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Newport, has been awarded a new high?water rescue vehicle funded through the Oregon State Preparedness Infrastructure Resource Equipment (SPIRE) grant program. This specialized vehicle enhances emergency responders’ ability to respond to flooding, severe weather, and other emergencies. Designed for challenging environments, this vehicle can safely access areas impacted by high water or debris. It is equipped with a custom 17-foot aluminum rescue body, integrated stairs, and a deep-water fording kit capable of navigating up to 50 inches of water. “This vehicle significantly expands our ability to reach community members during floods, storms, and other emergencies.” said Lincoln County Sheriff Adam Shanks. In addition to navigating challenging environments, this vehicle is equipped with a lift gate for moving medical equipment, evacuees, and supplies. The interior accommodates approximately 25 passengers, including versatile fold?down seating and wheelchair accessibility, providing critical capacity during evacuation operations. The Oregon SPIRE program supports local jurisdictions by providing essential response equipment to improve resilience and collaborative emergency response capabilities statewide. “Our communities have unique needs and challenges before, during, and after disasters. This funding helps increase capacity for first responders throughout Lincoln County, not only the Sheriff’s Office.” Sheriff Shanks continued. The addition of this high-water rescue vehicle will enhance coordination with local fire departments, emergency management agencies, and regional partners during disaster operations. Although this grant was originally applied for and awarded in 2022, it was delayed due to supply-chain disruptions following COVID-19.

Newport Police Department Using "Bait Bikes" to Combat Bicycle Theft
NPD release - The Newport Police Department is committed to protecting our community and reducing property crime. As part of that commitment, the department has recently been utilizing specially equipped "bait bikes" in areas where bicycle thefts have historically occurred. The Newport Police Department “Bait Bike” Program was started by Officer Jack Grippin after he realized that traditional investigative methods were not having an impact. He developed a low to no cost method to start the program and got other department members on board. The program, which has been in effect since June, began seeing immediate results and has produced multiple arrests. Officer Grippin has deployed a “bait bike” 9 times since starting the program and the “bait bike” has been stolen 7 of the 9 times during his operations. A bait bike is an unattended bicycle equipped with technology that allows officers to monitor its location in real time. Individuals who choose to steal the bicycle can be quickly identified, located, and arrested. The goal of the program is not only to apprehend offenders but also to deter future thefts by increasing the perceived risk of being caught. Bicycle theft continues to be one of the most common property crimes in communities across the United States. Unfortunately, many thefts go unreported, and recovery rates remain low. Studies have found that only about 15–20% of stolen bicycles are ever recovered, making prevention and proactive enforcement especially important. Bait bike programs have proven successful in numerous communities. One notable example is the Bend Police Department, which implemented a comprehensive bike theft reduction strategy that included bait bike operations. As a result, Bend experienced a more than 60% reduction in bicycle thefts while making numerous arrests of repeat offenders involved in bike theft. The Newport Police Department also encourages bicycle owners to take the following steps to reduce their chances of becoming victims: · Always lock your bicycle using a quality U-lock or heavy-duty chain. · Lock the frame and at least one wheel to a fixed, immovable object. · Record your bicycle's serial number and keep photographs of the bike. · Register your bicycle through a bicycle registration program if available. · Avoid leaving bicycles unattended overnight in unsecured locations. While enforcement is an important part of reducing crime, community awareness and prevention remain equally important. Residents who witness suspicious activity involving bicycles or other property crimes are encouraged to contact the Newport Police Department immediately. The Newport Police Department will continue using intelligence-led enforcement strategies, including bait bike operations, to reduce property crime and improve the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and visits Newport.

Armed Robbery, Central Oregon Coast
NPD release - Details: On July 14th, 2026, at approximately 1120 HOURS, Newport officers responded to the Days Inn, located at 544 SW Coast Hwy, on the report of a Armed Robbery. Officers responded to the area and contacted the victim who stated they had just been robbed by a known associate, Christopher Michael Lekoff, 20 of Independence, Oregon. Further investigation revealed Lekoff and the victim had known each other for several years and had shared a room at the business the previous night together. Today, while the victim was in the shower, Lekoff packed all his possessions. When the victim exited the bathroom, Lekoff demanded the victim’s purse. The victim admitted to having a large sum of US Currency inside their purse, which Lekoff was aware of. When the victim refused to hand over their purse to Lekoff, he brandished a firearm and continued to demand the victim’s property. In fear, the victim complied. Lekoff fled the room with the victim’s purse and money and got into his vehicle. He then left the area headed southbound on Hwy 101. Newport Police alerted the surrounding agencies to be on the lookout for Lekoff and his vehicle. A short time later the vehicle and Lekoff were located in Florence, Oregon. Florence Police Department conducted a High Risk Vehicle Stop and detained Lekoff. An officer from the Newport Police Department responded to Florence while another Newport officer completed a search warrant for Lekoff’s vehicle to search for the firearm and the missing purse and money. Upon service of the warrant, a 9mm handgun, along with the victim’s purse and US Currency were located hidden inside Lekoff’s vehicle. Lekoff was transported from Florence to the Lincoln County Jail where he was lodged.

Oregon State Penitentiary Nearing End of Functional Life, Audit Finds
The Oregon Department of Corrections must make a plan to move adults in custody out of facilities that pose a significant risk to health and safety - OR Secretary of State release - SALEM, OR — Secretary of State auditors are recommending that the Oregon Department of Corrections make a plan to move adults in custody out of prisons that pose a significant risk to their health and safety, particularly the Oregon State Penitentiary. This is one of eight recommendations released today as part of an audit of the facilities, staffing, and IT systems at prisons within the Oregon Department of Corrections. The department agreed with all of the recommendations. “Oregon’s adults in custody are in the care of the state, and it is the state’s responsibility to ensure they are safe and healthy as they are held accountable for their actions, go through rehabilitation, and prepare to return to society,” Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read said. “This audit and our recommendations will help the Department of Corrections fulfill its responsibilities.” The audit found that many DOC facilities are outdated and fail to meet basic living and accessibility standards; deferred maintenance costs as of 2024 were $861 million and rising; IT systems are out of date and there are a variety of barriers to modernization; and staff burnout, IT system limitations, and other challenges have made it difficult to determine initial success of the Oregon Way initiative. Additionally, auditors found that the Oregon State Penitentiary is projected to become functionally obsolete in the near future regardless of any additional efforts to address deferred maintenance needs. The cost of a replacement facility is projected to increase over time. The Oregon State Penitentiary was built in 1866 with expansions in the 1950’s and today holds nearly 1,800 adults in custody.
