Sad day! I had the pleasure if meeting John and his family during the Crimson Trace Night match last year. I only spent maybe 30 minutes to Ann hour chatting with him over the duration if the match but it was evident to me that he was a genuine individual. His willingness to help our community was very apparent with all the support of the matches and The Noveske Shooting Team. He will be missed!

Life is short, live it to the fullest!

Wear your seatbelts.
I'm as guilty as anybody of hating seatbelts and laws that require their use.
But, you cant argue with their effectiveness.

Fatal Traffic Crash - Highway 260 west of Grants Pass - 01/05/13
Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Friday night's single vehicle fatal traffic crash along Highway 260 (Lower River Road) west of Grants Pass that resulted in the death of a Grants Pass man.

According to Sergeant Tyler Lee, on January 4, 2013 at approximately 9:13 p.m., a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser driven by JOHN NOVESKE, age 36, from Grants Pass, was westbound on Highway 260 near El Camino Way. As the vehicle negotiated a right curve, it traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and NOVESKE was ejected.

NOVESKE, who is the owner of a local rifle manufacturing company, was not using safety restraints and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

OSP troopers from the Grants Pass and Central Point offices are continuing the investigation. Trooper Ryan Neuenschwander is the lead investigator.

OSP was assisted at the scene by Rural Metro Fire Department, ODOT and AMR ambulance. No photographs for release.

Sad indeed. Kind of odd though. Wonder if they will release the cause of the accident?
