Efren Hurtado Jr., 26, of Boardman was transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center and later flown to a Portland area hospital for treatment, according to a release from Oregon State Police. OSP said Hurtado’s injuries are considered non-life threatening and he is in stable condition. The deputy, whose name is being withheld during the initial investigation, stopped at about 1:50 a.m. for a disabled vehicle on the westbound side of Interstate 84 near exit 164 for Boardman, according to state police. The deputy encountered Hurtado, who had a firearm. “Shots were fired during the encounter,” state police reported, though it didn’t indicate whether both people fired. The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office reported no one else was around or in the vehicle with the victim. The officer was not injured. The name of that officer will be released as allowed by the Morrow County District Attorney’s Office, according to the release from state police. The sheriff’s office activated the Umatilla/ Morrow County Major Crime Team, and Oregon State Police along with the Morrow County District Attorney’s Office are leading the investigation into the shooting. Early snow hits the Blue Mountains Friday marked the first day of fall, but some areas of Eastern Oregon are skipping ahead a season and displaying some early signs of the winter to come. On Wednesday, Oregon State Police responded to a wreck involving a 77-year-old man who crashed his car into a guard rail and median while driving westbound on Interstate 84 between Meacham and La Grande after it started snowing. Two nearby ski resorts — Bluewood and Anthony Lakes — posted pictures of the first snow of the season on their Facebook pages Tuesday. Despite these early signs, there are only a few official indications of September snow. Zaaron Allen, a science and operations officer with the National Weather Service in Pendleton, said the service received a report from Wallowa County on Wednesday of one inch of snow at 4,000-foot elevation. Some snowfall did appear on the service’s cameras in Tollgate, Allen said. Although it was the first he was hearing of the accident on I-84, he wasn’t surprised. “It doesn’t take a foot of snow to wreak havoc,” he said. It also might be premature to try to read the tea leaves in the late summer snowfall. Although a La Niña effect in the Pacific Ocean led to an especially heavy winter for the Northwest, Allen said there hasn’t been any strong indications on how strong the 2017-2018 winter will be. CASCADE LOCKS (AP) — More than 4,000 cut trees remain on a patch of ground near Oregon’s Ainsworth State Park following a wildfire that struck the area this summer. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Oregon Department of Transportation workers have spent nearly two weeks removing the trees, which were deemed likely to be a threat to motorists. The trees have forced the eastbound lanes of Interstate 84 in the area to remain closed since Sept. 4.

Report: Missing Oregon mother found alive EUGENE (AP) — Skinner Butte is getting a trim. The Register-Guard reports that work crews have been clearing away invasive plants from three sides of the Eugene landmark, trying to reduce fire danger and improve wildlife habitat. During the next three to four weeks, the thinning of brush and small trees will expand to parts of 11 acres. The butte tops out at 682 feet above sea level. It rises about 240 feet above the surrounding neighborhood. City officials plan to leave the north side untouched by thinning. It faces the Willamette River and is covered by evergreen trees. EUGENE (AP) — A Eugene woman missing since Labor Day weekend has reportedly been found alive. The Register-Guard reports the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and discovery of 33-year-old Katie Goodright were not immediately known. Relatives broke the news Friday on social media. The Lane County Sheriff’s office said deputies have not spoken with the mother of two and could not confirm she’s been located. Goodright was last seen Sept. 3, when she left her 6-year-old daughter at a relative’s Eugene’s Skinner Butte gets trim to reduce fire danger More than 4,000 cut trees remain near interstate Andrew Clark was misidentified in photo captions that accompanied the story “Man with the plan” (September 22, Page 1A).
