Fatal Crash on Henrici Road  

 

February 2020 BeavercreekBulletin.org

The morning of Wednesday, January 29,  a local teen was killed when he veered  off the road and collided with a tree. A  homeowner heard the crash and called  911. Authorities say the driver was  Charles Anthony Brennan, 16, of Oregon  City. Crash investigators extracted  Brennan from the vehicle and began  life-saving efforts, but he was  pronounced deceased at the scene.  Oregon City High officials were notified,  and have made counselors available to  students as needed. The family has  asked for privacy at this time.   

One City, One Book Program Starts This Month  The Oregon City Public Library, in  conjunction with Clackamas Community  College, is hosting a One City, One Book  community-wide read of Heidi Durrow ’s  The Girl Who Fell from the Sky . The Girl Who Fell from the Sky reveals an  unfathomable past and explores issues  of identity at a time when many people  are asking “Must race confine us and  define us?”. In the tradition of Jamaica  Kincaid's Annie John and Toni  Morrison's The Bluest Eye , here is a  portrait of a young girl--and society's  ideas of race, class, and beauty. It is a  winner of the Bellwether Prize,  established by writer Barbara  Kingsolver, for best fiction manuscript  addressing issues of social justice.  

 Throughout the month of February, the  library will have programs, book groups,  and other events culminating in a visit  from the author herself. Visit  https://bit.ly/37Otg4F to learn more  and see the events calendar for specific  events.

Use Multi-Factor Authentication for Digital Protection  It sounds complicated, but multi-factor  authentication (MFA) really isn’t that  difficult. MFA is just a process that     

 

February 2020 BeavercreekBulletin.org

 

February 2020 BeavercreekBulletin.org

requires you to prove who you are in  more than one way. Banks, utilities,  social media platforms, and more are  using this technology every day to  protect your private data.    Remember the last time you had to  answer a challenge question to get into  your account? Or you received a  one-time PIN via text or email to  confirm that it was really you who forgot  your password and are now trying to  reset it? That is multi-factor  authentication.    There are three categories of credentials:  something you know, something you  have, and something you are. Let’s break  that down:   

● “Something you know” would be  your password or a set PIN that  you use to access an account. The  PIN doesn’t typically change.   

● “Something you have” would be a  security token or app that  provides a randomly-generated  number that rotates frequently.  The token provider confirms that  you – and only you – could know  what that number is. Also,  “something you have” could  include verification texts, emails,  or calls that you must respond to  before accessing an account.   

● “Something you are” includes  fingerprints, facial recognition, or  voice recognition. Sounds a bit  unnerving – but think about how  

you unlocked your smart phone  this morning. You’ve probably  used your prints or your face  several times already today just to  check your email.   

 Multi-factor authentication is required  by some providers, but for others it is  optional. If given the choice, it is in your  best interest to take advantage of MFA  whenever possible but definitely when  dealing with your most sensitive  personal data. This includes your  primary email account, your financial  records, and your health records.    To make it easy, the U.S. Department of  Homeland Security has gathered a list of  links from all the major players to walk  you through how to set up multi-factor  authentication. The list includes the  biggest banks, social media platforms,  email providers, gaming sites, online  health record providers, shopping sites,  cloud storage companies, and more. You  can get to it by going to  https://bit.ly/2GGHAQK .    If you have been victimized by a cyber  fraud, be sure to report it to the FBI’s  Internet Crime Complaint Center at  www.IC3.gov or call your local FBI  office.

Apply to Join High School National Youth Council  FEMA is seeking applicants for its Youth  Preparedness Council. The council offers  an opportunity for youth leaders to serve  on a distinguished national council and  participate in the Youth Preparedness  Council Summit in Washington, D.C.  Students from Alaska and Oregon  currently represent FEMA Region 10.  Council members serve a two-year term  beginning in May.   The Youth Preparedness Council  members offers an opportunity for  young leaders to complete a youth  preparedness project of their choosing  while learning about youth disaster  preparedness from FEMA leadership  and other national organizations.  During their two-year term, council  members will complete a national-level  group project and share their opinions,  experiences, ideas, solutions, and  questions with FEMA and other  preparedness organizations.   Students in 8th through 11th grade are  eligible to apply. Youth interested in  applying to the council must submit a  completed application form, two letters  of recommendation, and their academic  records. All applications and supporting  materials must be received no later than  

11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time,  March 8, 2020.   To access the application materials, read  about the current council members, and  for more general information about the  Youth Preparedness Council visit  https://bit.ly/2RNgA8i .    

Willamette Falls Legacy Project Update  The path to providing public access to  Willamette Falls could take a new  direction as project partners collaborate  with the Confederated Tribes of Grand  Ronde, which recently purchased the  shuttered mill site in downtown Oregon  City.    The Tribes have begun design work, in  partnership with the Legacy Project, to  assess the possibility of routing visitors  entirely along the river to a prominent  viewpoint of the Falls, instead of  providing interim access through the  middle of the former mill site.    Groundbreaking on the riverwalk,  previously expected to occur this year,  has now shifted while the group  evaluates a possibly more scenic  riverwalk experience.     Phase One of the riverwalk is still  anticipated to include safe and secure  public access onto the former Blue  Heron paper mill site, a prominent view  

 

February 2020 BeavercreekBulletin.org

of Willamette Falls and habitat  restoration along the riverbank. The  location of the initial path to the  overlook may be different than  previously envisioned, however, and the  groundbreaking schedule has shifted to  accommodate exploring this alternative  approach.   

Skiing and Snowboarding for Blind Athletes   Northwest Association for Blind  Athletes (NWABA) will be hosting  evening skiing and snowboarding  experiences for individuals who are  blind or visually impaired at Mt. Hood  Meadows. NWABA’s skiing and  snowboarding events will take place  from 5:30 – 7:30 pm on Wednesday,  February 19, 2020 and Wednesday,  February 26, 2020. Anyone who is blind  or visually impaired is encouraged to  join in this opportunity to learn basic  fundamentals and skills to participate in  skiing and snowboarding. Only 12  spaces available per night. Equipment  rental, lift pass, and transportation are  included. To reserve your space, register  online at www.nwaba.org/events or  email programsteam@nwaba.org .   

Be 2 Weeks Ready  Many people in the Pacific Northwest  are aware of the dangers of the Cascadia  

Subduction Zone since wider attention  has been drawn to the 600-mile fault  that runs from northern California to  British Columbia, about 70-100 miles  off the Pacific coast. The last Cascadia  earthquake and tsunami occurred in this  fault on January 26, 1700, with an  estimated 9.0 magnitude.   Although it’s been 320 years since the  last Cascadia event, we know another  one will happen and that it’s a good idea  to be prepared. It’s not a matter of if, but  rather when, the next Cascadia  earthquake and tsunami will strike.   Althea Rizzo, geologic hazards program  coordinator for Oregon’s Office of  Emergency Management, says that  knowing what to do, and how to be  prepared for a large-scale earthquake, or  any disaster, can help to calm fear and  empower people to take action. That  action, says Rizzo, includes putting  together a family plan and emergency  kits to be 2 Weeks Ready.   “Being prepared to be self-sufficient for  two weeks is an achievable goal and you  may be more prepared than you think,”  says Rizzo. “See what you already have  and you can get there over time.”   Leadership in Oregon is making it a  priority to get better prepared for the  next Cascadia event. On Monday  January 27, Governor Kate Brown is  scheduled to attend an event  commemorating the anniversary of  

 

February 2020 BeavercreekBulletin.org

Cascadia, and a briefing on the seismic  safety technology called ShakeAlert,  where she will also officially proclaim  January 26-February 1 as Cascadia  Earthquake Preparedness Week.   “When the next large-scale Cascadia  earthquake and tsunami strike the  Pacific Northwest, Oregon will face the  greatest challenge of our lifetimes,” said  Governor Kate Brown. “To be ready to  recover, we must be aware and  prepared. In the aftermath of a  large-scale natural disaster, Oregonians  will have to count on each other in the  community, in the workplace, and at  home until first responders are able to  reach them. I urge everyone to start  conversations this week with their  families, friends, and loved ones about  how to be safe and as ready as possible,  especially by having two weeks of ready  supplies.”   Oregon Office of Emergency  Management has many tools and  resources to be prepared for a Cascadia  quake and other disasters.  www.oregon.gov/OEM .
