Taft High swimmers get feet wet in relay meet at Philomath

0

The Taft High boys 200- and 400-yard breaststroke teams led the way with victories Thursday at the Rhonda Relays, a non-scoring swim meet in Philomath.

“It was a great experience for everyone,” Taft and Lincoln City Swim Club coach Lissa Parker said. “Several of the novices were able to try other strokes, and some of the breaststroke relays did really well.”

Twenty-five of Taft’s 28 team members competed, with Hunter Lunstedt still attending to shoulder issues.

“It was a quick meet — hard to get very much rest,” Parker said. “We raced Newport and Sweet Home, which are very fast teams, while Stayton and Philomath also have some fast kids, so there’s a lot of learning and motivation to keep us training hard and rise up to challenge them down the road.”

Parker cited “up-and-coming” beginners Ayden Woodard and Isabell Mackie, sprinters Jonee Wright and Tanner Landry, freshman Aubrey Sciarrotta, and upperclassmen Lydia Prins and Sammy Halferty for their progress.

Taft returns to the pool Friday, Dec. 21, at the Newport Invite.

Bomb threats emailed around the world

Bomb Threats

According to Homeland Security, a worldwide email campaign is targeting businesses and organizations with bomb threats that claim a device will detonate unless a ransom in Bitcoin is paid.

“This is more or less a hoax,” said a spokesperson with the FBI field office in Portland.

The threats have been reported across the world.

Facebook, universities and newspapers have received the email and authorities have swept for explosives but found nothing in every case.

The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is aware of the worldwide emails and actively pursuing all leads to determine the actors responsible.

Bomb Threat

If you receive a bomb threat email, NCCIC recommends the following actions:

High surf, wind and flooding advisory for Lincoln City

0

high winds lincoln city

The National Weather Service in Portland has updated its high surf advisory and issued high wind and flooding warnings for Lincoln City.

High Surf

Breakers 25-30 feet are expected at all beaches Friday and Sunday through Tuesday.

Hazardous surf will cause waves to run up much higher on the beaches than normal. These powerful waves can sweep people off jetties, exposed rocks and they can easily move large logs and other beach debris.

Bar crossings and the surf zone will be dangerous due to strong currents and breaking waves.

Video from Thursday at Nelscott Beach

High Winds

A high wind warning is in effect from 4 a.m. – 4 p.m. Friday near headlands and beaches with winds expected to reach 30-40 mph and gusts up to 65 mph. Late Friday morning through early Friday afternoon will have the strongest winds.

Damaging winds may blow down trees and power lines. Power outages are possible. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.

Areas affected: North Oregon Coast-Central Oregon Coast-South Washington Coast-Including the cities of Cannon Beach, Netarts, Pacific City, Lincoln City, Newport, Cape Foulweather, Yachats, Florence, Long Beach, Ocean Park, and Cape Disappointment

Flooding

Flooding is possible Tuesday and Wednesday of next week in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington

A weather system early next week is expected to bring heavy rain to the Pacific Northwest. While the details are uncertain, there is potential for 2 to 5 inches of rain in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington Monday night and Tuesday, with heaviest amounts in the Willapa Hills, the North Oregon Coast Range, and the west slopes of the Cascades. Sharp rises are likely on rivers draining these areas, and minor flooding is possible Tuesday and Wednesday.

The timing and location of heavy rain for this storm remains uncertain. If conditions warrant, watches or warnings for specific areas or rivers will be issued.

Monitor weather and river forecasts closely at weather.gov/portland. If you live in or near a flood-prone location, this is a good time to review your preparations and action plans should flooding develop next week.

Take extra caution when finding your way in winter travels

0

Sheriff winter

Winter officially begins in another week or so, but the time to start driving with extra caution is now. Our partners at the Oregon Department of Transportation have some excellent tips regarding use of your GPS during our rough and unpredictable weather and we thought it would be good to share them here as well:

When roads are closed and your GPS navigation system directs you onto a detour route, keep in mind that the device you count on for guidance could instead guide you into trouble. Most navigation tools don’t take current road or weather conditions into consideration. They may direct you onto remote roads that are neither maintained nor passible in all weather conditions.

Already this season someone had to be rescued after following their GPS navigation device off the main highway and onto a snow- covered forest service road near Mount Hood. Fortunately, they received help and everyone was safe. This has not always been the case.

Navigation systems and similar smartphone apps are great tools, but travelers may need to verify the identified detour route is appropriate given current conditions and the vehicle they are driving. Here are a few tips to consider:

What you can do:
• Be aware that the app on your phone or in your GPS device might not have the latest information – don’t follow it blindly!
• Use TripCheck.com (available on your computer and on your phone) to get the latest on state road conditions, or call 511.
• Remember, in winter conditions (or in summer’s fire season), roads can be impassable, so USE COMMON SENSE.
• If you are not familiar with an area and current road conditions, stay on state roads and don’t attempt detours onto roads you don’t know.
• Alter your travel plans.  If you are not sure of the route and road conditions your GPS device directs you to, ask local folks for information and consult a map. It is better to stay the night in town rather than be stuck on a remote road in the middle of nowhere.

What ODOT will do:
• ODOT crews work continually to keep state highways safe, but during certain conditions, such as blowing snow and freezing temperatures, you may want to avoid travel altogether.
• ODOT will issue media flash alerts if roads are closed. These will be updated continually on TripCheck.com.

Secretary of State updates cancer condition with video

0

Secretary of State Dennis Richardson recorded a video to update Oregonians to the status of his cancer treatment.

“I’m so proud to lead a gifted team of public servants as we continue to improve transparency, accountability and integrity in Oregon government.”

“As many of you are aware, I announced in June that I was diagnosed with a small, cancerous brain tumor. The support I have received since has been so encouraging to my wife Cathy and me,”  Richardson said.

“The latest MRI shows that the tumor has not grown,” he said.

Dennis Richardson

“Thank you so much for all of your ongoing prayers and support during my treatment.”

10th-rated 4A Tillamook girls get past 3A Taft on home floor

As if stepping up in rank to meet Tillamook on the road Wednesday night wasn’t a tough enough test for the Taft High girls basketball team, maybe next week’s home opener will be.

The Class 3A Tigers (2-2), who fell 50-34 Wednesday to the 10th-rated -Cheesemakers (6-1) of the 4A Cowapa Conference, will host No. 1-ranked and unbeaten Warrenton at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17, in their debut in the newly formed Coastal Range League.

The Warriors, who have outscored their seven opponents 407-209 (58-30 points per game) this season, are coming off a 61-44 victory Tuesday over Yamhill-Carlton. The Coastal Range League, a combined 20-5 in non-league play this season, has four teams ranked in the top 14 in the state, and two in the top seven. All five teams are .500 or better.

Details sought from the Taft girls loss to Tillamook have not been provided. The Taft girls JV defeated the Cheesemakers, 50-23.

The Taft boys, coming off a 60-53 comeback win at Tillamook on Friday, will host Warrenton (4-2) following the girls game. The Tigers, already relegated primarily to a seven-player rotation, will be without starting junior guard Lucas Hindman, who broke his right hand Wednesday at practice.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Warrenton girls lost 46-17 at home to Salem Academy on Thursday following this post and are now 7-1 and ranked second in the state.

High surf advisory issued for Lincoln City, Oregon Coast

0

high surf advisory

The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a high surf advisory for the Oregon Coast due to a strong series of storms crossing the northeast Pacific.

Breakers up to 25 feet are possible with all beach areas impacted. Hazardous surf will cause waves to run up much higher on the beaches than normal. These powerful waves can sweep people off jetties and rocks and can also move large logs and other beach debris.

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach erosion.

The storms will continue through early next week and will send westerly swells towards the Pacific Northwest Coast resulting in periods of high surf activity. High surf is possible Friday, and Sunday through Monday.

Central Oregon Coast-
156 PM PST Wed Dec 12 2018

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST THURSDAY...

National Weather Service is uncertain about this forecast and will be updating and refining it as the storms draw closer.

Oregon to update driver’s license, ID card design

1

The next time you renew your Oregon driver license or identification card you may see a new design with new security features. DMV is rolling out a new card design starting this winter and early 2019.

The beauty of the new cards isn’t just skin deep. The enhanced colorful look is part of the new card’s advanced security features, making it harder to alter or duplicate.

Your current driver license or ID card will remain valid until its expiration date, so you do not need to replace your card before that date. You also do not need to replace your card when you move within Oregon – you can file your new address online at OregonDMV.com.

This is the first major upgrade to the card technology in Oregon since 2003. In addition to the new look and security features, the new card will provide a vertical layout for provisional driver license holders – drivers younger than 21 years old. This will make it easier to identify minors where age restrictions apply, such as the purchase of alcohol.

The new card will hold the same information as the current card, including name, address, issuance date and expiration date, as well as a small duplicate “ghost” image of the person’s photo. Driver license and ID card fees will remain the same with the new card.

New features

Among the new security features:

  • The card body is a durable plastic material made of a polycarbonate blend.
  • Customer information is laser-etched in clear, highly defined lines.
  • The colors are printed in tiny patterns that are difficult to see without magnification and difficult to duplicate.
  • The clear laminate covering the card front shows a hologram of Oregon symbols at certain angles and light conditions.

DMV will begin to test and install the new card system in two Salem-area field offices starting the week of Dec. 17. After making sure the new process is working properly, DMV will begin to install it in the rest of its 60 field offices during the first half of 2019.

Real ID option in 2020

As a reminder, this new card design is not yet available as a Real ID Act-compliant card. Oregon will begin to offer an optional Real ID-compliant card in July 2020. Until that time, Oregon driver licenses and ID cards will continue to be accepted as identification at secure federal locations and for boarding commercial aircraft. For more information about Oregon and Real ID, click here.

Any time you need to visit a DMV office, first check www.OregonDMV.com to find office hours and locations, and to make sure you have everything you need before your visit. You also can do some DMV business from home at OregonDMV.com. You can renew your vehicle registration, file a change of address or file notice of the sale of your vehicle online without getting in line at an office.
