IDYLLWILD, Calif. (AP) – An Oregon woman whose 2-year-old granddaughter drank methamphetamine-laced tea in California has pleaded guilty to child endangerment and possession of a controlled substance. The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports Cynthia Watson of Aloha was sentenced to 60 days in custody and with orders to stay away from her grandchildren.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Police in Portland say they have arrested a 29-year-old man accused of kicking a police horse. Officers say Joseph Cruz ran up to the horse named Olin, uttered a “karate-like battle cry” and delivered what a spokesman calls “a jumping, double kick” to the horse’s right thigh. Police say the horse was unfazed and unhurt yesterday. Olin and his human partner took Cruz into custody.
GARIBALDI, Ore. (AP) – When a 14-foot boat capsized in front of the Coast Guard’s Tillamook Bay station at Garibaldi on the north Oregon coast, guardsmen swung into action, rescuing two children and one adult. Petty Officer 2nd Class Patrick Sandler was working on the pier Tuesday when he heard screams for help and saw a girl swimming toward him. He helped her onto the pier and called for reinforcements. A boat and crew helped a man and a boy who were holding on to the breakwall 200 yards from the pier. All are OK.
