PORTLAND (AP) —
A toddler in Oregon died
after being left alone in a hot
car while her mother went
to work as a family nurse
practitioner, authorities said
Friday.
Nicole Engler, 38, of
Roseburg told investigators
she thought she had taken
her 21-month-old daugh-
ter Remington to daycare
before heading to work,
court documents say.
Instead, she completed
her shift at 4 p.m. and found
the toddler in the back seat
— unconscious and blue,
authorities said.
Engler rushed
the toddler back
into the medical
facility, where staff
performed
CPR
until an ambulance
arrived. The child
was pronounced
dead Thursday at Engler
Mercy
Medical
Center in Roseburg.
The temperature was
about 80 degrees when the
child was discovered.
On a day that warm, the
temperature inside a vehi-
cle can rise to 109 degrees
within 20 minutes, accord-
ing to a National Safety
Council report released ear-
lier this month.
Engler
was
booked into Doug-
las County Jail on
suspicion of sec-
ond-degree man-
slaughter. Court
records do not
list an attorney
to speak on her
behalf.
Police Sgt. Gary Klop-
fenstein said the depart-
ment had no comment
beyond what was in public
documents.
Pediatric vehicular heat-
stroke killed 742 children
between 1998 and 2017, the
safety council found. The
average age of victims was
pany done that, every entity
in the country would have
been on their doorstep,”
Dan Harshbarger said, a La
Pine resident who lost trees
on his property in a similar
incident.
The label was amended
in 2013, when the proj-
ect was slated to begin, and
listed ponderosa pines as a
plant species particularly
sensitive to the weedkiller.
Representatives from the
transportation department
and the Forest Service have
said that the agencies didn’t
violate instructions on the
label, but acknowledged
that there had been a serious
mistake.
“We just collectively
dropped the ball on that, and
it’s unfortunate,” Reid said.
The
Forest
Service
noticed the tree damage in
the area in 2014, but it was
not immediately linked to
Perspective.
Lisa Arkin, executive
director for Beyond Tox-
ics, which focuses on envi-
ronmental and human health
issues across Oregon, said
Jefferson Public Works
— which was chosen to
apply the herbicide — was
required by law to check the
label.
Central Oregon Land-
watch, a Bend-based envi-
ronmental watchdog group,
asked the Forest Service in
a letter to consider remov-
ing just the tops of trees to
keep them from impacting
the highway if they fall.
The approach would
retain habitats for birds and
other animals, Rory Isbell
said, staff attorney for Cen-
tral Oregon Landwatch.

21 months.
In 54 percent of the
cases, the parent or care-
giver unknowingly left the
youngster in a vehicle. It
generally happened when
the caregiver was especially
tired or there was a change
in routine, the authors of the
report said.
In a 2014 case near Port-
land, prosecutors decided
not to file criminal charges
against an engineer whose
daughter died after he for-
got she was in the back seat
when he arrived at work.
They determined it was a
“tragic and unintentional
accident.”
Oregon officials criticized for
pesticides killing ponderosa pines
BEND (AP) — Environ-
mental advocates are call-
ing out the Oregon Depart-
ment of Transportation and
its contractors for applying a
weedkiller along a highway
in Sisters that unintention-
ally killed hundreds of pon-
derosa pine trees.
Environmentalists
argued that the various
groups involved in the proj-
ect didn’t abide by instruc-
tions on the chosen herbi-
cide from the Environmental
Protection Agency, The Bul-
letin reported Thursday.
In 2012, the Forest Ser-
vice and Jefferson County
Public Works chose to use
the weedkiller Perspective
to kill flammable roadside
plants on a stretch of high-
way in Sisters, Ian Reid said,
the Sisters district ranger
for the Deschutes National
Forest.
At the time, the EPA’s
instructions on the product
did not specify it could dam-
age nearby ponderosa pines,
Reid said.

BRIEFLY
Wildfire season
starts with
2 blazes in
Central Oregon
Oregon students
allowed neither
male nor female
gender option
MAUPIN (AP) — Wild-
fire season in Oregon is
underway after a lightning
storm sparked at least two
major fires that are now
burning in the central part of
the state.
Jean Nelson-Dean, a fire
spokeswoman, said Friday
the smaller fire burning near
Culver triggered the manda-
tory evacuation of about 100
homes.
That blaze is at about 3
square miles and has not
torched any homes.
Another fire near Maupin
grew to more than 15 square
miles.
There were no manda-
tory evacuations but resi-
dents east of the town are
being told to be ready to go
if needed.
The fires were started by
lightning strikes from strong
thunderstorms that swept the
region Wednesday.
They are growing quickly
in windy and dry conditions.
PORTLAND (AP) —
Oregon students will be able
to select a non-binary gender
option starting next school
year.
The Oregonian/Oregon-
Live reports the Oregon
Department of Education
will allow students who don’t
identify as male or female to
select a third option, “X.”
Oregon became the first
state last year to allow res-
idents to mark their gender
as “not specified” when they
apply for a driver’s license,
learner’s permit or identity
card.
The action came about
after an Oregon court
allowed a Portland resident
to legally change to non-bi-
nary gender in 2016.
The department has pre-
viously issued guidance on
gender identity by advising
schools in 2016 that the indi-
vidual student is the “person
best situated to determine a
student’s gender identity.”

be a difficult and emotional conversation,
even when safety is the main concern.
• How do I start the conversation?
• When is the right time to bring it up?
• How will they react?
This could be one of the most challenging
talks you’ll have with your loved one.
