Good morning, Hillsboro. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 31st of July.

BUSINESS NEWS

  • OnPoint Community Credit Union will open its new branch—located in Reed’s Crossing Town Center—on Friday, Aug. 8 at 7833 S.E. Blanton St to offer full financial services. The credit union will host a community event on Saturday, Sept. 20 and donate $5,000 to a local nonprofit.  Hillsboro News-Times

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Starting next year, Oregon schools will ban cell phones during class due to Governor Tina Kotek's executive order 25-09 and districts must fund pouches to lock up students' phones by January 1, 2026. Some schools, including those in Hillsboro School District and Portland Public Schools, have asked for tax-deductible donations to help cover the roughly $35 cost per pouch — a move aimed at boosting classroom learning and protecting student mental health.  KATU

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • An 8.8 earthquake off Russia on July 30th triggered a tsunami that produced small waves along the West Coast—with Port Orford recording a 1.4-foot wave and Charleston seeing 0.9 feet, while Crescent City reached 4 feet. Officials in Oregon and Washington issued a tsunami advisory and urged people to keep away from the water due to strong currents.  KATU

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Oregon and 19 other states made a deal with federal agencies Friday—pausing new rules on Head Start, Title X, and other community benefits until early September to keep thousands of children and families from losing important services. The pause comes after a lawsuit argued that the rushed policy changes would have forced sudden and confusing program shifts.  Hillsboro News-Times

HEALTH NEWS

  • Reser’s Fine Foods, with a supply plant in Hillsboro, has recalled ham salad products because USDA testing found breadcrumbs may carry listeria—customers should discard these products and sanitize any surfaces where they were stored. The FDA earlier announced a recall of select tuna salad items supplied by Reser’s at Albertsons stores in four states, and no illnesses have been reported yet.  Hillsboro News-Times

SPORTS NEWS

  • On Tuesday in Spokane, the Hops won 5—2 as pitcher Ashton Izzi made his debut by striking out six in five innings while allowing two runs early. The win starts a 12-game road trip that includes a series of six games in Spokane.  Hillsboro News-Times
