Today’s Headlines
The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted to pass a motion that declares a state of emergency as community concerns rise regarding the historic dam removal project on the Klamath River.
During yesterday’s meeting, community members shared their concerns in person and over Zoom with the board and Klamath River Renewal Corporation CEO, Mark Bransom.
Water quality in the Klamath River, an increase in sediment and additional environmental impacts are top concerns among those who voiced their opinions during Tuesday’s meeting.
Bransom also reiterated that the environmental impacts community members are concerned about right now are only short-term.
The large majority of those in attendance were in favor of the emergency declaration, with water quality and environmental impacts listed as top concerns. Those opposed to the emergency declaration said it would do more harm than good, by damaging tourism and the local economy.
The Board of Supervisors voted in favor of the emergency declaration with a four to one majority. An emergency declaration gives Siskiyou County additional access to state resources.

A popular hot dog chain, Wienerschnitzel is making its way to Southern Oregon. After a recent successful grand opening in Spokane Washington, Wienerschnitzel wants to continue expanding into the Northwest.
The plan is to open the next one in Klamath Falls. That location is set to open on the corner of Hope and 6th Street in the next year and a half. If things go well then it’s potentially on to the Medford, Grants Pass, and Roseburg areas.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) traveled to Klamath Falls last Saturday to hold his annual town hall tour of Oregon counties.
Hosted by Oregon Tech, the institution’s President Nagi Naganathan commended the senator working through the night and still making the trip to Klamath County.
Maintaining the spirit of non-partisan progress, Wyden noted a number of recent wins on behalf of the Klamath Basin.
In February, Sens. Wyden and Jeff Merkley announced funding of $72 million coming into the Basin on behalf of collaborative ecosystem restoration efforts.
Wyden noted another recent win in Senate on behalf of seniors, nationwide.
Healthcare, the senator said, is one of the most important things.
The senator said that each year, $4.5 trillion is spent on health care — enough to “send every family of four in America a check for $50,000.”
Rhiannon Kerr, president of Klamath Hospice and Palliative Care board of directors, talked to the senator about the nonprofit’s efforts for local end-of-life care.
Kerr shared the story of caring for her father during the last eight years of his life.
Kerr asked that Wyden bring the capital campaign back to Washington, D.C., with him and rally others to help fund their efforts.
Wyden said that he and Merkley are in the process of gathering community projects and initiatives in need of funding.
The Tulelake Irrigation District turned on Pumping Plant D on March 25th, sending water from the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge through the Tule Lake Tunnel to the Lower Klamath NWR for the first time in four years.
According to the Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA), Pumping Plant D operated continuously for close to 70 years as the primary water source for Lower Klamath NWR. But regulatory restrictions on water availability for the Klamath Project prevented water from pumping through the tunnel.
Brad Kirby, Manager of the Tulelake Irrigation District (TID), says there’s been a lack of water in the Klamath Project, which wouldn’t allow TID to maintain the Tule Lake and Lower Klamath NWRs. Draining these lands meant habitat for animals like waterfowl and fish was decimated. He says this year, there was finally enough water from this winter to refill the sumps. But he says it’s going to take work to maintain it.
Kirby says when water is flowing from Tule Lake to Lower Klamath, the National Wildlife Refuges have a pulse. The KWUA says besides helping wildlife, this process will also help recharge groundwater, decrease dust and provide relief from a grasshopper outbreak.
Twenty-two professionals in the local community volunteered to do mock interviews with Henley High School juniors last week to give them a real-world taste of the job application process.
The volunteer interviewers provided feedback to the students, who were taking part an eight-week professionalism unit taught by Henley English teachers Shannon Carlson and Shaila Walker.
In the unit, students explore their interests and aptitudes and then learn about resumes, cover letters, and interviewing. Students also wrote a research paper on their career of interest.
Walker said bringing in community professionals who had experience with hiring was a way to provide students with a better understanding of how what they learned applied to life outside the classroom.
CTE (career and technical education) coordinator Adam Randall reached out to community partners about the idea.
The students got helpful feedback on ways to improve their resumes and better market themselves. Some students even left with business cards of people to contact for jobs or senior projects.
Nine teams are competing in this year’s Oregon Tech Catalyze Challenge with a competitive prize pool of $18,000 this year.
The challenge has awarded $100,000 in prize money and services since it began in 2015.
The Catalyze Challenge is a student competition that supports innovative business ideas and fledgling entrepreneurial activity that produces a new idea, product, or service that could become a thriving business in Klamath Falls and has the potential for job growth in rural Oregon.
The competition fosters project development, design, and communication skills, while boosting public understanding of the talent pipeline available at Oregon Tech and encouraging student engagement with the community.
Competitors first presented their innovative and entrepreneurial concepts at a SharkTech Venture Pitch contest in March. Teams who successfully navigated the contest will present their concepts to a panel of judges at the Catalyze Challenge on April 24 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The 2024 event is made possible through generous sponsorship and donations from Avista, the City of Klamath Falls, Cypress Creek Renewables, Klamath County, Klamath County Economic Development Association (KCEDA), Klamath IDEA Center for Entrepreneurship, Oregon Small Business Development Center, Sky Lakes Office of Strategy & Innovation, VertueLab, and the Wendt Family Foundation.
BTS Bus Service Reduced
Public transportation serves many in the Klamath Basin, but starting April 1, some of the regular riders with BTS will have to find a new mode of travel when BTS reduces services across the board in order to continue a sustainable operation. Daily hours will be reduced. Weekends will have no service.
The necessary consolidation and reduction of public transportation services comes a little less than a year after a short-term tax levy on the ballot failed.
Ballot Measure 18-130 defined a tax rate of $0.29 per $1,000 assessed property value for five-year period which would have started July 2023.
So, a local property owner with a home or land that is valued at $100,000 would pay $29 per year for five consecutive years.
The majority — roughly 30% — of the funding comes from a local tax rate of $0.48 which was made permanent by voters in 1997.
Measure 18-130 marked the first request for additional local tax funding in 27 years.
But Klamath County residents voted against the ballot measure, leaving BTS in serious financial peril.
Ridership in the Klamath Basin continues to increase each year, but revenue from ridership only makes up a very small portion of the funding — about 3%.
The VFW is holding an Easter egg hunt 3/31 starting at noon at Veteran’s Memorial Park.

IYS is Building Brighter Futures Through the Love our Children “Day of Play”
This spring marks a pivotal moment for Integral Youth Services (IYS) as they launch their inaugural major giving campaign in alignment with the national holiday Love Our Children Day. With the ambitious goal of raising $60,000, this campaign offers numerous ways for the community to get involved in making a difference including giving, volunteering, or supporting vital at-risk youth programming.
Notably, all funds raised remain local, directly benefiting the entirety of Klamath County youth who access IYS programs.
IYS specializes in assisting youth navigating challenging circumstances such as economic hardship, food insecurity, and homelessness. In 2023 alone, they supported 1,710 young individuals across eight comprehensive programs throughout Klamath County. These initiatives encompass essential facets of support, including community engagement, nutrition, shelter, transitional living, workforce development, and life skills training.
The campaign kicks off with the "Day of Play" event scheduled for April 13th, 2024, from 1PM to 5PM at Mike’s Fieldhouse. This event serves as a vibrant introduction to the broader fundraising efforts.
Love Our Children Day not only initiates Child Abuse Prevention Month but also serves as a rallying call for community backing of IYS's invaluable work with youth and families. “Love our Children Day is meant to celebrate positive relationships between youth and their families says Taylor Hampton, IYS Development Director, “This is a key component of what we strive to create at IYS.”
For those eager to contribute, there are several avenues for involvement:
- Attend the Day of Play event on April 13th.
- Donate directly to the campaign, or become an event sponsor at hypeupyourhope.square.site/love-our-children
- Participate in one of their mini fundraisers happening in April and May including their
Bottles and Cans drive, Feedback for Good rally, or Pickleball tournament.
- Become a volunteer for their events or at their main office at 115 N 10th Street.

Spring is here, and that means the end of studded tire season in Oregon.
Drivers have until Sunday to remove the winter tires, which are allowed in the state each year from Nov. 1 through March 31. Washington state requires drivers to remove studded tires by the same date.
Oregon Department of Transportation officials encouraged drivers to remove tires before the deadline, especially if they don’t have to drive in the mountains or in other snowy or icy terrain.
State transportation officials also recommended that drivers consider winter alternatives to studded tires that are less damaging to roads, like traction tires and temporary chains. A 2014 state found that studded tires cause about $8.5 million worth of damage to roads each year.
After March 31, drivers using studded tires may face fines of up to $165.
A car crash in Woodburn, Oregon, killed one teenager and injured two others early Wednesday morning, says the Woodburn Police Department.
Woodburn Police Officers, Woodburn Fire District, and Woodburn Ambulance Service were called to a single-car crash at North Boones Ferry Road and Vanderbeck Lane shortly before 2 a.m.
The driver, a 17-year-old Woodburn resident, was found deceased at the scene. A 14-year-old male passenger with life-threatening injuries was taken to an area hospital. A third passenger, a 19-year-old male, had non-life-threatening injuries.
Woodburn Police stated that “it appears speed and alcohol were a factor in the crash.”
On April 2, three organizations are taking the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to federal court in Medford. The three conservation organizations — Klamath Siskiyou Wild, Cascadia Wild and Oregon Wild — are fighting to prevent BLM from what they consider excessive logging in a forest in Josephine County.
They are specifically fighting BLM’s Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) in Josephine County, about two miles northwest of Willaims.
According to BLM’s website, the purpose of IVM is to “promote and develop: safe and effective wildfire response opportunities that reduce wildland fire risk to Highly-Valued Resources and Assets; Fire- and disturbance-resilient lands and fire-resistant stands; and habitat for Special Status Species and unique native plant communities.”
The project near Williams would cover more than 8,300 acres of forest land. More than 7,500 acres would see non-commercial thinning and prescribed fire, more than 800 acres would see commercial treatments.
Dense forest land mixed with dead and dying trees can create a bigger chance of a more catastrophic fire. According to BLM, more trees died between 2015 and 2019 than the last four decades in Southern Oregon.
Grants Pass voters trying to oust state Rep. Christine Goodwin and prevent her from running for the state Senate say she was never eligible to run for her current House seat.
Documents filed as part of a lawsuit alleging that Goodwin lives outside the House district she represents show that she listed the Myrtle Creek home where she lived for decades but that is just outside her district as her address on a state business registration dated July 6, 2022. Goodwin signed the document attesting under penalty of perjury that the Myrtle Creek address was correct.
To be eligible to run for her House seat, Goodwin had to have lived within the House District 4 boundary as of Jan. 1, 2022. The lawsuit contends that the document helps to prove Goodwin was never eligible to run for the District 4 seat because she hadn’t lived in the district for the requisite amount of time.
Goodwin, a Republican, won the uncontested election to represent House District 4, which stretches from south of Myrtle Creek to the area east of Grants Pass.
For years, Oregon has left thousands of people facing criminal charges without lawyers.
A draft report released last week, funded by Oregon’s Office of Public Defense Services, offers an attempt to draw connections between policy decisions, laws and their costs. It points to policy choices like the prosecution of nonviolent crimes such as drug possession, and mandatory minimum sentences as costly aspects of public defense currently in Oregon.
The report, compiled by the consulting firm Moss Adams, found the state needs roughly 500 more attorneys to meet its public defense obligations. It notes that the state can accomplish that by adding 80 attorneys every year, over the next six years.
The report also notes that the agency’s budget would grow from $576 million in the 2023-2025 fiscal year to $1.3 billion in 2029-2031. The agency’s budget is already forecast to grow considerably next year.
During a meeting this week, the state’s public defense commission asked Moss Adams to reduce the number of hours public defenders can devote every year to cases, meaning a final report is expected to show a need for more public defenders and more money.
Both the U.S. and Oregon constitutions require the state to provide attorneys to anyone charged with crimes if a person cannot afford their own lawyer. Cracks in the state’s troubled system began to first show up during the fall of 2021, when it appeared there were not enough attorneys to cover all of the cases.
As of Thursday, more than 2,500 people are without an attorney statewide, including more than 100 in custody, according to the Oregon Judicial Department, which updates those figures daily.
A little-known piece of U.S. history is the focus of a new virtual exhibit on the Oregon State Capitol website. As part of Women’s History Month, the exhibit recognizes the nation’s first female Governor, who served Oregon in 1909.
While Caralyn Shelton only served as acting Governor of Oregon, she got a lot of attention in her day.
Shelton’s role lasted a long weekend. She was appointed by Governor George Chamberlain as he resigned to take his newly elected seat in the U.S. Senate. Curator Kylie Pine says Shelton simply held down the fort until the Secretary of State could be sworn in as Governor the following Monday.
Pine says her role as acting Governor garnered worldwide attention.
Shelton, who was originally from the eastern Oregon town of Union, later moved to Washington, D.C. to work with Chamberlain in the Senate.
The virtual exhibit is a partnership between the Willamette Heritage Center and the Oregon State Capitol Foundation. See it HERE through May 31, 2024.
A new state website provides information for people seeking an abortion. The Oregon Health Authority’s Reproductive Health Program is behind the new website called Abortion Access In Oregon.
It includes links with information about accessing services. It also explains people’s legal and privacy rights for reproductive care.
Governor Tina Kotek issued a statement saying, “Anyone who comes to our state for an abortion, regardless of immigration status, has the legal and protected right to that abortion service, not just Oregon residents.”
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, a remote expanse of wilderness along the California-Oregon border, will not lose any of its acreage after the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up two challenges to its expansion.
Logging interests and several counties in Oregon had asked the high court to strike down a 2017 addition to the monument. Their lawsuit claimed President Barack Obama, who seemed to be working to kill the logging industry, improperly made the designation because Congress had previously set aside the land for timber harvests.
By gaining monument status, the area won special protections, including a prohibition on logging.
The challenges to the expansion raised the additional, and broader, question of whether the president’s authority to create national monuments unilaterally under the Antiquities Act should be restricted. Critics of the 1906 law, who have commonly opposed bids for new designations, have argued it gives too much power to the executive branch. The Supreme Court has decided not to address the issue.
The Grants Pass Police Department is urging the public to be cautious after several people have fallen for new scams.
According to a Facebook post from GPPD, a family has targeted several residents in the area by pretending to be in a desperate situation.
“A family claiming to be from Dubai (said) they found themselves in a desperate situation and unable to buy gas for their Mercedes-Benz because their credit card had been blocked. They approached an innocent citizen who had just finished his grocery shopping,” the post said. “They told him their story and offered to sell $20,000 of gold jewelry for only $1,200.00 if he helped them… However, as you might have already guessed, the punch line in this sad tale of social engineering was that all of the jewelry was fake.”
The post said that this family shows up in Grants Pass every few weeks and several have fallen for this scam, the post said. It is believed other southern Oregon towns have also been visited by the same culprits.
“If you ask most victims of this fraud, they will likely tell you they were only trying to help a family that was having some bad luck,” the post said. “My advice to our fellow citizens is that if you come across someone you want to help, help them without expecting anything in return. As soon as the enticement of a quick profit is offered, you can be confident that something criminal is afoot.”
Astronomers are gearing up for another North American solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024. But how much you’ll see depends on where you are in Oregon and your chances are limited.
Jim Todd, OMSI’s Director of Space Science Education, says totality will miss us by a wide margin, The dark section, called the umbra, is going to move from Mexico into Texas, the Midwest in Illinois and Ohio, and easterly up to New England .
OMSI and the rest of the state will see a partial eclipse, about 23%. But if you start moving eastward, toward the Ontario, they’re going to get about 33%. Bend will see a maximum of 25% at 11:25 a.m. In Burns, it’ll be 30% at 11:27 and Jordan Valley gets the most in Oregon at 35%.
If you plan to view any portion of the eclipse, it’s imperative to wear solar viewing glasses from start to end.
Oregon won’t get any other kind of eclipse, of any kind, in North America until probably 2040.
Grange Cooperative Supply Association (“Grange Co-op”), a leading agricultural cooperative based in White City, Oregon, has been awarded a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) as part of the Organic Market Development Grant program.
The grant aims to support the expansion of processing capacity for organic grain feed, addressing critical needs within the nation’s growing organic industry. With this funding, Grange Co-op plans to significantly enhance its processing capabilities to meet the increasing demand for organic grain feed, particularly in the livestock sector. The project will not only benefit organic producers but also contribute to meeting the rising consumer demand for organic products.
