A La Pine woman who had been missing since Wednesday was found dead on Saturday.

Police do not suspect foul play in the death of Tamera Torkelson, 35, according to a press release from Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jason Wall.

Torkelson left her home without her phone or identification around 10 p.m. Wednesday.

In their search, authorities used police dogs, drones and assigned officials from search and rescue, detective and patrol divisions.

Torkelson was found dead in the area of Sixth Street and U.S. Highway 97 on Saturday in La Pine.

“The Deschutes County Medical Examiner’s Office and the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office will continue the investigation,” Wall said.

BAKER — Divers from the Baker County Sheriff’s Office’s search and rescue team on Saturday recovered the body of a Granite man who fell through the ice at Phillips Reservoir while fishing on Thursday.

Divers Kim Corn of Baker City and Dave Kingsbury of Richland recovered the body of Mark Norenberg, 69, around 11:30 a.m., said Ashley McClay, public information officer for the sheriff’s office.

The location was about 35 yards from shore near the bottom of the boat ramp above Mason Dam.

McClay said Norenberg’s family and friends were “truly integral in this recovery effort.”

The incident started shortly before 3 p.m. on Thursday when a caller to Baker County emergency dispatch reported seeing a chair on the frozen reservoir with a large opening beside it. There was a vehicle parked near the boat ramp, along with a dog.

The boat ramp is about 15 miles southwest of Baker City.

A deputy who responded found the vehicle and dog. The vehicle belonged to Norenberg. McClay said his family told police that Norenberg, a longtime Granite resident, was an experienced ice angler.

Ash said he met at the boat ramp on Friday, Jan. 26 with a group including Norenberg’s wife, Cindy Jo, and their son, Paul. Ash said Norenberg’s family members, who had experience in cutting ice, offered to help with the recovery.

After working with Paul on a plan to cut a channel in the ice for divers, Ash said he decided to wait until Saturday morning to start the operation to ensure there was a full day for the work if needed.

Ash said Norenberg’s family and friends provided two small boats as well as chainsaws and the people who used the saws to cut the ice.

“They cut all that ice,” Ash said. “It was really a team effort.”

McClay said the ice was 5 to 6 inches thick at the shore, but considerably thinner near the chair.

The channel was created because it was too dangerous for divers to swim under the ice, McClay said.

Once the channel was clear of ice, Corn and Kingsbury went into the water at the site where Robb had found Norenberg’s possessions. The two divers recovered Norenberg’s body and brought it to shore, McClay said.

Ash said the sheriff’s office’s search and rescue team has not trained in techniques for cutting ice, so he appreciated that Norenberg’s family and friends offered to do that task.

Ash said he always encourages family and friends to help with rescues and recoveries when they are willing and capable of participating safely.

“It’s very hard for survivors to just sit and watch,” he said.

Although a cold snap in early January formed ice on Phillips and some other local reservoirs and ponds, much warmer temperatures over the past 10 days have thinned the ice. McClay said the sheriff’s office encourages anglers to avoid going out onto ice on any local waterbody.

“This was a very tragic, unfortunate accident,” he said. “I offer my sincerest condolences to those grieving the loss of Mark.”

A shallow, slow-moving landslide affected several homes in Astoria over the weekend.

As of Sunday evening, five houses had been “red tagged,” meaning they are unsafe to occupy, according to Jeff Harrington, Astoria’s public works director.

City Manager Scott Spence said the land moving near 27th Street and Grand Avenue is estimated at under 5 acres. Natural gas and water had been turned off.

“Our primary concern is to keep people safe,” Spence said. “This almost could be characterized as a rolling emergency. We’re actually seeing land movement affect people and property, so we’re just doing the best we can to respond to the situation and make sure people are not in harm’s way.”

A portion of 27th Street has buckled and cracked and residents report that at least one house has moved several inches. Officials told KMUN that they are beginning to see other signs of damage and movement.

“The best thing for the landslide right now is for it to dry out,” Spence said.

Attorney Josh Stellmon and his wife decided to leave their house and stay in a hotel downtown on Saturday night. When Stellmon checked in on things Sunday, he could hear trees cracking and falling in the distance. At his house, he saw what he believes are new cracks in the foundation along with other, more minor issues.

But, he said, “We’re lucky. And I mean that. I really feel for our neighbors.”

The home above his contains four apartment units and seems to be the most impacted by the sliding so far.

The 27th Street area — like many spots around Astoria — is historically prone to sliding.

City staff are monitoring the landslide and 27th Street remains closed. The city asked people who are not residents of the area to stay away.

The city initially received a report of a mudslide at about 10 a.m. on Saturday morning and closed a section of 27th Street as a precaution.

“Last night, I actually heard a bunch of trees breaking at like 12:30 to 1 a.m. and I looked at it and didn’t see anything, and then when I woke up this was here,” Alex Pasco, a resident, said on Saturday. He initially thought the “sewer exploded. But, it’s just mud.”

WENAHA — Two people from the Joseph area were hospitalized after the airplane they were in crashed in the Wenaha Wildlife Area on Friday, the Wallowa County Sheriff’s Office said.

Undersheriff Billy Wells said Monday that the crash took place about 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Both the pilot and the passenger were taken by helicopter to a hospital in Lewiston, Idaho. He said the passenger was released that night or the next day with an ankle injury. The pilot remained hospitalized, but neither person’s injuries were life-threatening, Wells said.

Their identities have not been released, but likely will be later this week, Wells said.

Wells said he does not know how many flying hours the pilot has.

“He’s a very experienced pilot,” he said. “He’s very well known in the flying community.”

The sheriff’s office and search and rescue personnel responded to the scene.

Wells said the crash was reported by an automated feature on the passenger’s Apple iPhone. The iPhone feature automatically calls 911 when it detects an impact, such as the plane crash. Another person also reported the crash, Wells said, but he had no additional information on that point.

Wells said the plane is a 1957 Piper Cub and despite its age, it has been kept in repair.

“Those things get rebuilt after so many hours,” he said.

The cause of the crash is still undetermined, Wells said.
