The National Weather Service issued wind chill advisories covering a vast area from South Texas to Canada and from Montana and Wyoming through New England. Dangerously low temperatures enveloped much of the Midwest, yet didn’t deter hundreds of people from ringing in the new year by jumping into Lake Michigan. Despite sub-freezing temperatures and a warning of potential hypothermia from the local fire chief, throngs of people took part in the annual tradition in Milwaukee, warming up later with chili or heat from a beach fire pit. A similar event was canceled from the Chicago lakefront, where the tempera- ture dipped below zero as thick white steam rose from the lake Monday morning. Organizers said the arctic blast made jumping into the lake too dangerous. “I’m not happy about it. But I was down by the lake and, gosh, if you were dropped in there, it’d take you 10 minutes to get out,” Jeff Coggins, who helped orga- nize the thwarted Chicago event, told WBBM-TV. Instead, would-be Chicago plungers had their pictures taken while jumping on the frozen beach — in their swimsuits. Temperatures plunged below zero elsewhere in the Midwest, including in Aber- deen, South Dakota, where the mercury dropped to a record-breaking minus 32 (-36 Celsius). The previous New Year’s Day record had stood for 99 years. In Nebraska, tempera- tures hit 15 below zero (-26 Celsius) before midnight Sunday in Omaha, breaking a record low dating to 1884. Omaha officials cited the forecast in postponing the 18th annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks Spectacular that draws around 30,000 people. -0s Classified & Legal Advertising 1-800-962-2819 or 541-278-2678 classifieds@eastoregonian.com or legals@eastoregonian.com NEWS • To submit news tips and press releases: call 541-966-0818 or email news@eastoregonian.com • To submit community events, calendar items and Your EO News: email community@eastoregonian.com or call Tammy Malgesini at 541-564-4539 or Renee Struthers at 541-966-0818. • To submit engagements, weddings and anniversaries: email rstruthers@eastoregonian.com or visit www.eastoregonian. com/community/announcements • To submit sports or outdoors information or tips: 541-966-0838 • sports@eastoregonian.com Business Office Manager: Janna Heimgartner 541-966-0822 • jheimgartner@eastoregonian.com COMMERCIAL PRINTING Production Manager: Mike Jensen 541-215-0824 • mjensen@eastoregonian.com NORTHWEST BRIEFLY Judge rejects settlement for man fatally shot by police PASCO, Wash. (AP) — The family of a man shot to death after throwing rocks at police can’t agree on who should receive a $750,000 settlement. So, the Tri-City Herald reports , a judge has rejected the offer and placed the civil case on hold for four months while the lawyers of Antonio Zambra- no-Montes’ family work out an agreement. Court documents say Zambrano-Montes died in February 2015 after officers shot at him 17 times. Zambrano-Montes, who was high on methamphet- amine, was throwing rocks at police and passing cars. An autopsy found he was shot five to seven times. The lawsuit was filed against the city of Pasco, the Pasco Police Department, Chief Bob Metzger and officers Ryan Flanagan, Adam Wright and Adrian Alaniz. It is not clear in court documents who will pay the settlement. Missing elderly woman found dead likely from exposure AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh Pedestrians are bundled up against frigid temperatures Sunday in Chicago. Northwest storm knocks out power, causes crashes John Fitzhugh/The Sun Herald via AP)/The Sun Herald via AP Icicles hang from the fountain at Beau View condomini- ums in Biloxi, Miss., on Monday. A hard freeze hit South Mississippi overnight and temperatures are expected to remain near or below freezing for the rest of the week. It was colder in Des Moines, where city officials closed a downtown outdoor ice skating plaza and said it wouldn’t reopen until the city emerged from sub-zero temperatures. The tempera- ture hit 20 below zero (-29 Celsius) early Monday, with the wind chill dipping to negative 31 degrees (-35 Celsius). In northeastern Montana, the wind chill readings dipped as low as minus 58 (-50 Celsius). And in Duluth, Minnesota, a city known for its bitter cold winters, the wind chill dipped to 36 below zero (-38 Celsius). Plunging overnight temperatures in Texas brought rare snow flurries as far south as Austin, and acci- dents racked up on icy roads across the state. In the central Texas city of Abilene, the local police chief said more than three dozen vehicle crashes were reported in 24 hours. It’s even cold in the Deep South, a region more accustomed to brief bursts of arctic air than night after night below zero. Frozen pipes and dead car batteries were concerns from Loui- siana to Georgia as overnight temperatures in the teens were predicted across the region by Monday night. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s office said two bodies found Sunday showed signs of hypothermia. They included a man in his 50s found on the ground in an alley and a 34-year-old man. SEATTLE (AP) A winter storm moving through the Pacific Northwest knocked out power in parts of Wash- ington and caused multiple collisions. Puget Sound Energy said crews are working to restore power in Whatcom County in northwestern Washington state on Saturday after an ice storm brought down poles and power lines and coated roads with ice. The company is warning people to never touch downed power lines. The company said 45,000 customers lost power at the peak of the ice storm. The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office said emergency crews had to pull back overnight as it was too dangerous to be on slick roads as trees and power poles toppled. State officials also say icy conditions led to multiple crashes involving tractor-trailers that closed eastbound Interstate 84 for about six hours. Tom Strandberg, spokesman for the Oregon Department of Transportation, said the agency has advised motorists blocked by closures to wait in a safe location and not follow GPS navigation devices that might direct them off main roads that may not be passable during winter. TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) — An 87-year-old Yakima County woman who was reported missing by her family has been found dead. Police in Toppenish said Sunday afternoon that Mary Shattuck likely died of prolonged exposure to hazardous weather conditions and foul play was not suspected. According to local news reports, she was found dead in her Subaru Forester near Mabton. Police had issued a silver alert for Shattuck last week. She was last seen at her doctor’s office in Toppenish. Teen dies of gunshot wound in apparent Russian roulette game SHERWOOD (AP) — Police in the Portland suburb of Sherwood say a teen boy has died of a gunshot wound and investigators believe he may have been playing a game of Russian roulette. Sherwood Police Captain Ty Hanlon says the boy died early Monday morning at a mobile home in Sherwood. The teen was dead by the time emergency responders arrived. KOIN-TV reports that based on witness interviews, police believe that the teen showed up to the mobile home with gun and fatally shot himself while playing Russian roulette.
