Good morning Douglas County! Here are today's updates live from the Roseburg Receiver Communications Center.

• Current Temp: 33° F
• Humidity: 97%
• Wind: 1 MPH N
• Current Conditions: Cloudy / Fog
• Air Quality Index: 36
• Today's Forecast: High 44 | Low 31 | Cloudy/Fog
• Sunrise: 7:39 AM | Sunset: 5:11 PM

DENSE FOG ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10:00 A.M. WEDNESDAY

A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10:00 a.m. Wednesday for central Douglas County.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford said visibility of one quarter of a mile or less in dense is expected.

Dense fog could lower visibilities and make driving conditions hazardous, especially over higher roadways.

AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY REMAINS UNTIL 4:00 P.M. WEDNESDAY

An Air Stagnation Advisory remains in effect until 4:00 p.m. Wednesday within the valleys in Douglas County.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford said poor air quality will continue. This is due to an inversion and stagnant air conditions near the surface that will continue to trap pollutants. Air quality unhealthy for sensitive groups may develop.

Those with respiratory illness should follow their physician’s advice for dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air.

Motorists should slow down, use their headlights and leave plenty of distance ahead of their vehicle.

COTTAGE GROVE POLICE WITH ACTIVE DEATH INVESTIGATION

The Cottage Grove Police Department has an active death investigation underway.

A CGPD release said on Wednesday at about 5:30 a.m. officers responded to a report of a male who was found on the ground, unconscious and bleeding, in the 15000 block of Highway 99. When officers arrived, they found an adult male with an apparent gunshot wound. Officers attempted CPR but the male was pronounced deceased at the scene after medics arrived.

Witnesses in the area reported hearing gunshots and seeing an unknown person wearing dark clothing running from the area. No suspects have been identified or located. The name of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

CGPD is being assisted by the Lane County Sheriff’s Office and the Lane County District Attorney’s Office. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to call the Cottage Grove Police Department at 541-942-9145.

MAINTENANCE INSPECTION TO CLOSE STEWART PARK DRIVE BRIDGE THURSDAY

Stewart Park Drive Bridge in Roseburg will be closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic during a maintenance inspection on Thursday.

A City of Roseburg release said the depression-era steel truss bridge will be closed over the South Umpqua River from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. while an Oregon Department of Transportation contractor performs a maintenance inspection. The bridge may open earlier if the work is completed sooner than expected, according to Roseburg Public Works.

While the bridge was also inspected before reopening after a recent renovation project, ODOT still requires annual bridge inspections to be performed in addition to inspections done during the rehabilitation.

For more information contact the Public Works Department at 492-6730 or email: pwd@roseburgor.gov

DISCOVER ROSEBURG GEOCACHING KICK-OFF EVENT ON FEBRUARY 7TH

Roseburg’s next geocaching series launches on Saturday, February 7th.

A city release said hosted by Roseburg Parks and Recreation, the Discover Roseburg 15 Land of Umpqua Geocache Series kick-off is a free, family-friendly event designed to draw people of all ages outside to experience more of the city and its businesses. The kick-off will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Roseburg Public Library on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard. Parks staff will give out verbal instructions and coordinate-containing passports for a geocaching treasure hunt.

The event will be held, regardless of the weather.

Participants should bring a smart phone or other device with a Global Positioning System, or satellite-based radio system. Using a GPS device to follow coordinates printed on passports, they will hunt for five real-world geocaches, or small containers, hidden around town, plus 5 virtual geocaches at special locations. Geocachers will navigate to all the spots and fill out their passports along the way. Participants should bring a pen or pencil to sign geocache logs.

The kick-off will feature an “Ask the Expert” table staffed by former city councilor and Parks and Recreation Commission chairperson Mike Baker, who first suggested a geocaching event begin here to draw visitors to Roseburg. Baker will help participants troubleshoot geocaching apps or learn how to use their GPS devices.

Those who find all 20 geocaches in the Discover Roseburg 15 challenge can redeem passports for a limited-edition collector’s geocoin, with a trackable ID number. Only 200 are available. The challenge continues until all geocoins are awarded.

After the kick-off, passports can be picked up or dropped off at the Roseburg City Hall’s front lobby on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, call Parks and Recreation at 492-6899 or email: tdavid@roseburgor.gov.

ADAPT NOTICE OF INCIDENT/POTENTIAL BREACH OF INFORMATION

Adapt Integrated Health Care has released a notice of a security incident and potential breach of information.

An Adapt release said the information is being provided regarding a data security incident that occurred at TriZetto, a third-party company that works with Adapt’s electronic medical record system provider, OCHIN.

Adapt learned of this incident on December 10th, when OCHIN notified Adapt that an unauthorized individual had gained access to one of TriZetto’s systems. TriZetto took steps to stop the unauthorized activity and secure its systems. After learning that the incident may have impacted some Adapt patients, Adapt began working with OCHIN to understand what occurred and to help protect patient information.

Adapt’s internal systems were not breached. Not every patient’s information was affected. Beginning in February, TriZetto plans to send individual notification letters to patients whose information may have been involved.

Patents are encouraged to remain alert for suspicious activity, such as unexpected bills, insurance statements, or communications requesting personal information. Anyone who notices unusual activity should contact their health insurer and/or bank or financial institution immediately.

TriZetto has established a dedicated toll-free call center with information at 844-572-2724. Individual patient notices will include information about pre-paid credit monitoring services and instructions on how to enroll.

NORTH DOUGLAS COUNTY FIRE & EMS RECEIVES TWO GRANTS

North Douglas County Fire & EMS has been awarded two grants through the Oregon Emergency Management State Preparedness and Incident Response Equipment program.

A release from the agency said the funding will strengthen the department’s emergency response and rescue capabilities.

The first grant provided funding for Holmatro battery operated rescue tools, which will enhance vehicle extrication operations. These modern tools improve responder safety, reduce set-up time, and allow crews to operate more efficiently during rescue incidents.

The second grant funded an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle equipped with thermal imaging technology. This capacity will significantly improve search and rescue operations and situational awareness during emergencies by allowing responders to locate heat signatures and assess scenes from the air.

The release said all grant-funded equipment has now been received from Oregon Emergency Management, and a formal equipment agreement has been finalized. North Douglas Fire & EMS crews are currently training and familiarizing themselves with the new equipment to ensure safe and effective use.

PACIFIC POWER FOUNDATION AWARDS GRANTS FOR ARTS AND CULTURE ORGANIZATIONS

The Pacific Power Foundation has awarded grants to 63 arts and culture organizations in Oregon, Washington, and northern California.

Ryan Flynn, director of the Pacific Power Foundation and Pacific Power president, said, “We appreciate the important contributions of these local programs, which foster community engagement through theater, festivals and celebrations of cultural heritage”.

Grants to all the organizations totaled $173,760.

In Douglas County, the Safari Game Search Foundation and The Fish of Roseburg were each awarded $5,000.  The FISH will use the funds to help purchase a refrigerated van to use in their work. Safari Game Search Foundation will allocate the funding to help support free access to field trips at the park for low-income children in Oregon.

Arts and culture grants are made through one of four grant cycles offered by the Pacific Power Foundation each year. The Foundation supports a wide range of organizations within the communities served by Pacific Power.
