Officials wanted to warn Salem-area residents Tues- day night that elevated lev- els of a natural toxin caused by the algae bloom had made area tap water unsafe for children and people with compromised immune sys- tems. But that information got cut off, and a more omi- nous-sounding default mes- sage went out in its place, said Andrew Phelps, head of the state emergency manage- ment agency. Officials sent a second message 31 minutes later with more information and a link to a municipal website. Within hours of the first alert, residents stripped the aisles at one supermarket in the city’s downtown center of bottled water, and a shop- Single copy price: $1 Tuesday through Friday, $1.50 Saturday rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow 50s ice 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 110° in Midland, Texas Low 25° in Angel Fire, N.M.

Management. “I apologize for the confusion and the anx- iety this incomplete message has caused.” Phelps said the message had also been broadcast via local television stations. Cole Mahaffey, a Salem resident, set down a case of bottled water Wednesday he was carrying down the sidewalk and described the uneasy feeling of seeing the first alert arrive on his phone, 10s National Summary: Drenching showers and storms will extend from the Great Lakes to the eastern Gulf and southern Atlantic coasts today. Severe storms will rattle the interior Northwest as heat builds over the southern Plains. Cryptic emergency alert panics Salem ping cart lay tipped on its side in front of the empty shelves. Workers brought out a pal- let of sparkling water, which they placed at the front of the store, and told customers they hoped they’d get more regu- lar water in the morning. The incident marked a high-profile glitch in author- ities’ use of emergency alert systems, following a false alarm sent out by Hawaii offi- cials in January warning of an incoming ballistic missile. In Oregon, confusion sur- rounded the initial alert even within the emergency man- agement agency, with an official telling reporters the message had caught them unaware and state police ask- ing residents via a Facebook post not to call 911 about the alert. And when officials directed residents to the city of Salem’s municipal web- site for more information, the site briefly crashed under the load. “The integrated public alert warning system inadver- tently defaulted to a generic message,” Phelps said in a video posted on social media by the Office of Emergency 0s showers t-storms Copyright © 2018, EO Media Group By TOM JAMES Associated Press -0s ADVERTISING Regional Publisher and Revenue Director: Christopher Rush 541-278-2669 • crush@eomediagroup.com Advertising Services: Grace Bubar 541-276-2214 • gbubar@eastoregonian.com Multimedia Consultants: • Kimberly Macias 541-278-2683 • kmacias@eastoregonian.com • Jeanne Jewett 541-564-4531 • jjewett@eastoregonian.com • Dayle Stinson 541-278-2670 • dstinson@eastoregonian.com • Angela Treadwell 541-966-0827 • atreadwell@eastoregonian.com • Audra Workman 541-564-4538 • aworkman@eastoregonian.com SUBSCRIPTION RATES East Oregonian (USPS 164-980) is published daily except Sunday, Monday and postal holidays, by the EO Media Group, 211 S.E.

Liberty High School in Hillsboro had prohib- ited senior Addison Barnes from wearing his “Don- ald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.” shirt on school grounds. But U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman found Tuesday that the Hillsboro School District could not justify its censorship, The Orego- nian/OregonLive reported. The school district is entitled to be concerned about the response of other students to the T-shirt, Mosman said. But the “thin” court record so far offers little support for the district’s argument that the shirt could “substan- tially disrupt” the school, he said. Barnes earlier this month sued the high school, the principal and district, arguing they vio- lated his First Amendment rights when he was told to go home or cover up the shirt in class. Barnes, 18, was sus- pended Jan. 19 for wear- ing the shirt to his “People and Politics” class, where the topic of discussion was immigration. After his father met with the princi- pal, the school rescinded the suspension but told Barnes he couldn’t wear the shirt again in school. School officials said the shirt would contribute to a “hostile learning environ- ment” and would make students feel insecure, not- ing students of Hispanic descent make up about one-third of the school population. The district also described increased tensions arising from racially charged language around immigration. After the hearing, when asked if Barnes was going to wear the shirt to school before he graduated, his lawyer, Bradley Benbrook, responded, “Yeah, that was the idea.” Barnes is scheduled to graduate June 7. Redmond sues for $62,000 after company fells Christmas tree REDMOND (AP) — A city in central Oregon seeks $62,000 from a tree removal company that accidentally cut down a big spruce that was slated to become the city’s Christmas tree. In a lawsuit filed last week, Redmond officials allege that workers trespassed on land owned by the city and removed a tree that was intended to be part of a park expansion near City Hall, The Bulletin newspaper reported. Keith Leitz, human resources director for the city, said the 40-foot blue spruce is difficult to replace, because of its size and loca- tion near the center of town. He said the city resorted to a lawsuit because it couldn’t agree with the company on compensation. The mistake occurred in March after a property man- agement company asked Fagen Tree & Chips to remove a spruce. Company owner Wade Fagen said an employee accidentally went to a prop- erty three blocks to the east, where he encountered a sim- ilar spruce tree with tape and cones around it. He said the removal was an honest mis- take and criticized the city for taking legal action. “I think they’re just trying to profit off a bad situation,” Fagen said Tuesday. The city’s tree was marked with tape and cones to prevent it from being removed, Leitz said. The parcel the tree sat on had been transferred to the Your Family Deserves The MOFE HD CHANNELS, FASTEF INTEFNET AND UNLIMITED VOICE.
