Today’s Headlines
Firefighters on the Salt Creek Fire near Eagle Point is still raging and sending smoky skies all across Southern Oregon, including the Klamath Basin.
Firefighters continued to make progress on building and bolstering lines yesterday, which are created to stop the fire’s growth. The majority of the fire has direct line, which is line constructed right at the fire’s edge, rather than a distance away.
Strategic firing operations were used today on a few small portions of the fire that had areas of indirect line due to steep, rocky terrain. With this work complete, those areas are now more secure, and as a result, containment has increased to 16%, a jump from this morning’s report of 7%. On the northern portion of the fire, mop-up operations reached 50-feet into the fire’s perimeter. Fire hose has been established on the southern border, which will greatly aid firefighters in mop up moving forward.
Temperatures are climbing and heat continues to be one of the most dangerous hazards that resources are facing on this incident. Several firefighters have experienced heat-related illnesses; two were taken to the hospital yesterday to be given fluids and rehydrated, and one firefighter has not returned to the line today.
Safety personnel on the fire are dedicated to keeping firefighters safe, and at the beginning of each shift at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., water and electrolyte beverages are made available for firefighters to take on the line with them. Supervisors are also tasked with watching their resources for any signs of distress. Potential heat illnesses have been highlighted during briefing, reminding firefighters to drink plenty of fluids and monitor for signs.
Medical personnel are placed strategically on the incident to be available to treat and transport firefighters if necessary.
DEQ expects intermittent smoke in the Klamath Falls area that may bring poor air quality in the afternoon and evening hours until at least Saturday.
DEQ also issued an air quality advisory for ozone, or smog, for the Rogue Valley until Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, to the south, The Shelly Fire is now 9,234 acres and still 0% contained. Evacuation orders and warnings are in place for 4,200 people in the area and about 4,100 structures are threatened.
“Last night, specialty equipped helicopters were utilized to support engines and hand crews in strengthening containment lines,” the Klamath National Forest said in a news release. “Overnight fire activity was in the Patterson creek area and held as the fire laid down. Firefighting personnel continue their round-the-clock efforts to enhance structure defense in local communities.”
“Yesterday, the fire’s most active front was along the eastern edge near Patterson Creek. Crews worked tirelessly to fortify lines from Patterson Ridge to Whiskey Butte, aiming to halt the fire’s eastward progression. Aerial resources were consistently deployed to reinforce these efforts. On the northern front, crews concentrated on reinforcing lines in the Shackleford drainage area and actively engaged in firefighting operations.
Substantial resources are dedicated to structure defense, with additional reinforcements arriving to protect surrounding communities. Concurrently, crews are focused on establishing and strengthening contingency lines from Scott Bar Road in the north to Sawyers Bar Road in the south. Minimal growth has been observed in the southern and western sections of the fire.
Efforts on the southern front are centered on completing hand and dozer lines from Sawyers Bar Road to the Pacific Crest Trail and Snoozer Ridge.”
Anticipated by the young and young at heart, Moore Park’s latest attraction is complete out near Klamath Lake.
It’s worth a look, and measuring 18,000 square feet, the park’s new playground is ADA accessible and features elements that reflect Klamath County’s history and culture, such as a Klamath tule hut and Crater Lake-themed surfacing.
During the playground’s grand opening, Healthy Klamath and Sky Lakes Foundation Director Merritt Driscoll said, “Thank you to all. Thanks to our donors, volunteers and the entire community for supporting and making this project a reality.”
Started by speaking with local elementary school students on what their ideal park would look like, since 2019, Healthy Klamath, Sky Lakes Medical Center, the city of Klamath Falls and other community partners have been working together to bring the playground to life. The project was financially supported entirely by donations from 24 local businesses, 67 individuals and five grants, and was built with assistance from 250 community volunteers.
A few of the playground’s highlights are the separate sections divided by recommended age groups. A zip-line, a trampoline, a four-person teeter totter and a Liberty Swing — the world’s safest and most recognized swing for children and adults in wheelchairs.
Moore Park’s new playground is open every day during normal park operating hours.
The Oregon Tech Foundation received a $1 million lead donation from Glen and Sherry Thomet of Klamath Falls to launch fundraising efforts to build an athletic fieldhouse at the Klamath Falls campus.
The athletic fieldhouse project includes an 8,500-square-foot building that will be constructed adjacent to the Athletics building and will provide an all-season practice and workout facility for student-athletes, as well as serving as a site for community events, health and wellness programs, and academic health science and technology programs.
The fieldhouse project is estimated to cost approximately $3.5 million, which the Foundation is leading the fundraising for.
The Thomets, who have lived in Klamath Falls since 2000, became Oregon Tech Athletics supporters when they received season tickets to attend Hustlin’ Owls basketball games.
The couple continued to be basketball and softball attendees and became part of the athletic family at Oregon Tech.
The Thomets support two endowed scholarships for athletes at Oregon Tech and contribute to a third one through the Rotary Club of Klamath County that is awarded to a student attending Oregon Tech.
When Glen asked Athletic Director John Van Dyke what more could be done to support student-athletes, Van Dyke shared the vision for the large indoor facility to protect students from inclement weather.
The donation is in honor of their son, Kip, who passed away in 2019, and the couple looks forward to memorializing Kip’s name at the facility.
To learn more about how you can help support students at Oregon Tech and methods for making a charitable contribution, contact Mira Wonderwheel, Executive Director of Development.
Klamath County has 12 cooling centers that include branches of the Klamath County Library and Klamath Basin Senior Center.
Both the record-breaking temperatures and the duration of heat present a clear and present danger, particularly for children, elders, people with disabilities, and people who work outside. Stay cool if you can inside one of these cooling centers in the Basin.

The Ross Ragland Theater’s summer community musical, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” is set for four performances this weekend.
Directed by Jeff Press and starring Rebekah Beger and Chris Benjamin, the adaptation provides a contemporary take on the classic tale and features some of the most beloved songs from the 2013 Broadway musical, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago.”

Coming soon to the City of Klamath Falls, from the team behind Retro Room Records and the Ross Ragland Comedy Nights, an economic and nostalgic family offering — the Retro Starlight Cinema.
Harkening back to the days of old, entrepreneurs Jim and Alison Turner are planning to bring a drive-in theater to Klamath County with a tentative opening in spring 2025.
“We need to bring families back together outside under the stars and laughing out loud as the popcorn is being passed back and forth enjoying movies as they should be presented,” Turner said.
Advising that everything is still “very nebulous” and that the Retro Starlight project will develop and become more concrete as more components are finalized, Turner said the operating plans are for the drive-in to show second-run movies (a recently released film shown at discount typically 3 to 4 weeks after its debut) in a double-featured format on a 75×100-foot screen.
Turner said the driver-in theater will be “totally modern but with a complete retro feel,” and that concessions, parking and payment will all be able to be handled by use of an app soon to be available on any smartphone.
As far as the location, Turner said that is the million-dollar question.
“We have a spot scoped out, but until we secure the final funding, I can’t make the announcement,” he said. “Trust me when I say that the spot is divine and perfect for the city and community.”
Turner did say that it’s within the Klamath Falls city limits and that the city planning commission helped find the location.
Around the State of Oregon
As a result of the Salt Creek Fire, the Bureau of Land Management Butte Falls Field Office has temporarily closed BLM-managed lands in the area for public and firefighter safety. Members of the public may not enter closed areas, and all uses—including hiking, hunting and dispersed camping—are prohibited.
The closure order encompasses the BLM lands within the affected evacuation zones. This includes BLM lands south of Butte Falls Highway, north of Highway 140, and east of Salt Creek Road to the USFS boundary. Please see the map for full closure information on the BLM website: https://www.blm.gov/orwafire
Public and firefighter safety are the highest priority. The closure will allow fire suppression crews to continue to safely respond to the incident. As it becomes safe to do so, firefighters will begin to assess the closure and their impacts in alignment with sound risk management practices.
For the latest road and weather condition updates, visit https://www.tripcheck.com/. BLM Medford District has additional fire closures and fire restriction information available on BLM.GOV.
Please call 911 to report any signs of new fires. As of today, 24 wildfires are burning across Oregon.
Fire restrictions remain in effect for the Klamath National Forest and Fremont National Forest areas.
These fire restrictions are designed to help minimize the chances of human-caused wildland fires in our forests. Human-caused fires, which range from escaped campfires, careless smokers, equipment use, vehicle exhaust, catalytic converters, parking on dry grass, or children playing with matches, are preventable. Due to recent exceptional heat and rapid drying of fuels, these restrictions also apply to wilderness areas.
Some of the fire restrictions in effect include:
- Campfires, stove fires, and barbecue grills using charcoal briquettes are only allowed in open developed recreation sites, such as campgrounds (no permit required).
- Smoking is limited to inside enclosed vehicles or buildings, within developed recreation sites, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
- Operating an internal combustion engine, except on National Forest System roads or trails, or within developed recreation sites is prohibited.
- Welding, or operating an acetylene torch or other torch with an open flame is prohibited.
Outside of developed recreation sites, Forest visitors with a valid California Campfire Permit will still be able to use pressurized liquid or gas stoves, grills, or lanterns with shut-off valves, in an area that is cleared at least five feet of any flammable materials. Permits may be obtained at any forest office or online at www.preventwildfireca.org/campfires/.
For a complete list of fire restrictions and a list of developed recreation sites for the Klamath National Forest visit https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1187464.pdf.
If visitors choose to have a campfire within a listed developed recreation site, follow these safety tips to prevent starting a wildfire:
- Clear all flammable materials from the ground for five feet in all directions from the edge of the fire and make sure it is located away from overhanging limbs. Only use developed fire rings.
- Have a shovel and water nearby.
- Keep your campfire small and only use dead and downed wood…don’t cut live trees for firewood.
- Make sure a responsible adult is always in attendance of your campfire. NEVER leave a campfire unattended!
- Always make sure your campfire is DEAD OUT before leaving it! Drown it with plenty of water, stir well with a shovel, feel to see if it is hot, REPEAT. If it is too hot to touch, then it is too hot to leave.Fire Managers Increase Fire Danger Level and IFPL

Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Oregon’s longest-serving U.S. representative has called for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, while other members of Oregon’s Democratic congressional delegation and nominees are keeping mum.
Rep. Blumenauer, a Democrat from east Portland who plans to retire in January after nearly three decades in the House, on Wednesday became the first member of Oregon’s delegation to take a public stand on Biden’s ability to win in November.
Blumenauer said the conclusion he and a growing chorus of members of Congress and Democratic donors have reached is not just about extending Biden’s presidency but protecting democracy.
Meanwhile, Oregon’s other congressional Democrats and nominees have kept quiet or stopped short of either full-throated endorsements of Biden’s prospects or calls for him to step aside.
The reticence of most of Oregon’s delegation to take a stance on Biden continuing as the nominee reflects national trends, as most congressional Democrats have circled the wagons in response to Biden’s insistence that he’ll remain the nominee. Only eight other Democratic members of Congress, including Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, have publicly called for Biden to withdraw.
Sen. Jeff Merkley, meanwhile, focused on former President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump, saying the election was a clear choice between democracy and autocracy.
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, meanwhile, said she’s still trying to decide on the best path forward.
Oregon’s heat wave may be subsiding in parts of the state, but temperatures are still well above average.
The Portland International Airport reached 104 degrees Tuesday, making it the sixth day in a row with temperatures at 90 degrees or above.
Salem and Eugene both hit 106. Redmond broke a daily record when it hit 107 degrees and Hermiston got all the way up to 110 degrees, breaking the daily record high temperature of 106 degrees set in 1968.
The Oregon Department of Human Services is facing another examination of its policies and practices — this time following the death of an elderly woman with dementia who wandered away from a long-term care facility and died outside alone on a winter day.
Ki Soon Hyun’s body was found in the woods on Christmas day.
An investigation by Oregon’s long-term care ombudsman faulted the agency in her death and recommended in April an audit of DHS. Two months later, an official with Gov. Tina Kotek’s office said the governor had ordered an external audit of DHS’ oversight practices.
DHS oversees 2,070 nursing homes, long-term care facilities and adult care homes, which care for thousands of vulnerable Oregonians. It is supposed to ensure their safety by licensing facilities, tracking complaints and issuing sanctions up to closing facilities. But DHS and the facility that was supposed to keep her safe failed Hyun, officials said.
He added that DHS ignored red flags pointing to problems at the agency and the threat that people at Mount Hood faced by allowing “an owner with no background or knowledge of long-term care to open a state-licensed memory care facility.”
Two months later, Kotek’s adviser on seniors, Rachel Currans-Henry, informed Dawson in a letter that the office had ordered the audit to protect residents.
DHS is also under pressure to improve its foster care system to keep vulnerable children safe. In May, the agency settled a long-running lawsuit over the mistreatment of foster children. It agreed to improve the system by working with an outside expert to improve its oversight. The agency agreed late last month to work with Kevin Ryan, who has helped Texas, Michigan and Oklahoma to improve their foster care systems.
The former coach of the Westview High School football team has been arrested for allegedly slapping players while they slept at a football camp.
The man, 32-year-old Jamal Jones, is also a Hillsboro Police officer. McMinnville Police investigated the allegations and reviewed video of the incident. Jones was charged with multiple counts of Harassment. Jones turned himself in and was arrested. After the incident happened, Jones resigned from the Beaverton School District and he was placed on leave by Hillsboro Police.
A Clackamas County man who seven years ago decapitated his mother and drove with her severed head to a grocery store is stable enough to be transferred from the state psychiatric hospital to a secure community-based treatment center, a state doctor said Wednesday.
Joshua Webb, 43, has lived at the Oregon State Hospital in Salem since 2018 when he pleaded guilty except for insanity in the killing of his mother, 59-year-old Tina Webb, and the stabbing of a grocery store employee.
At the time of the crimes, psychologists who evaluated Webb concluded he likely experienced duress from psychotic disorders related to schizophrenia.
The Oregon Psychiatric Security Review Board is charged with determining how long Webb remains in state custody.
On Wednesday, the board heard the state hospital’s request that Webb be transferred from the state hospital to Lifeways McNary Place, a 16-bed residential treatment center in Umatilla.
The Umatilla facility is locked and staffed around the clock with at least two employees who would dispense the medication used to treat Webb’s psychiatric condition, a social worker told the board.
Oregon needs to prevent lottery winners from dodging child support and other debts by prohibiting the type of ticket-buying schemes exposed last month by The Oregonian/OregonLive, according to five lawmakers involved with gambling regulation at the Legislature.
Those bipartisan lawmakers appear to have the backing of state leaders and the governor, and change could come as soon as the 2025 legislative session, they said.
Lawmakers said they had never heard of so-called ticket discounting until a newsroom investigation revealed individuals and business owners who buy winning tickets on a massive scale. Some openly advertise to lottery players looking to score fast cash and avoid paying debts.
While it’s difficult to say how widespread the practice is, the newsroom identified a handful of individuals, all of them well known to the Oregon Lottery, who have cashed in more than $15 million in tickets during the last six years. Those buyers said they purchased tickets from the true winners at 55 to 80 cents on the dollar and subsequently collected full prizes.
In other states, discounting has been linked to money laundering, and several have banned the practice and prosecuted offenders.
Britt Music & Arts Festival is announcing Thursday that free tickets will be available to local firefighters for a few of the festival’s upcoming concerts.
According to a press release from Britt, this is “a special initiative to recognize and express gratitude to our region’s courageous firefighters who play an integral role protecting our community.”
Firefighters can get two free tickets to one of these upcoming concerts:
- Paul Cauthen on July 16
- Umphrey’s McGee on July 17
- SOJA on July 19
To pick up tickets, head to the Britt Box Office located at 216 W. Main Street in Medford or call 541-773-6077.
It’s fair season, and health officials have tips to keep you safe from any diseases that farm animals can spread.
State Epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger says you can reduce your risk as you enjoy animals at the fair. Stay home if you are sick, to avoid spreading illness to others and animals. Keep toys, pacifiers, cups, bottles, strollers or similar items out of animal areas such as barns and show arenas. Don’t eat, drink or put anything in your mouth or touch your eyes while visiting animal areas. Wash your hands often with soap and running water or use hand sanitizer.
Oregon is looking to increase the number of public fast-charging electric vehicle stations across the state, through a federal grant program.
The Oregon Department of Transportation received $52 million through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program to use over the next five years. The program aims to create a better network of public DC fast chargers, which can take an electric vehicle from zero to 80% charged in about 20 minutes, throughout frequently used highway corridors.
Brett Howell, ODOT’s transportation electrification coordinator, said the state agency recently opened its first round of funding to 19 pre-qualified EV charging companies.
The companies will focus on creating fast charging stations on Interstate 205 in the Portland area, Interstate 5 south of Eugene and U.S. Highway 97. They are also expected to install, own and maintain the EV charging infrastructure.
Electric vehicle sales in Oregon have been steadily increasing. More than 89,000 electric vehicles are registered, according to the state Department of Transportation. The state offers two electric vehicle rebates, one based on income, that have helped boost sales, so much so that the rebate program has run out of funding two years in a row.
But access to fast chargers for electric vehicles has been limited in certain areas across Oregon. The federally funded program could help create more fast-charging stations, with at least two chargers per station. That would help electric vehicles drivers avoid running out of battery charge before reaching their destinations and could help encourage more people to transition from gas-powered to electric cars.
National Weather Service reminds people of the excessive heat warning in effect this week.
Dangerously hot conditions with limited overnight relief. Afternoon high temperatures of 95 to 110 degrees in Oregon. Overnight low temperatures in the mid-50s to lower 70s. This will pose a major risk of heat-related illness,” says the weather service. “
Weather service Guidelines for staying safe in high temperatures
- Stay hydrated:Keep yourself well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
- Seek cool shelter:Stay indoors in an air-conditioned room to keep cool.
- Avoid sun exposure:Stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
- Child and pet safety:Never forget to safeguard young children and pets by not leaving them unattended in vehicles, especially during scorching weather when car interiors can become life-threateningly hot.
- Caution outdoors:Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
- Time your activities wisely:When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
- Recognize heat-related issues:Recognize the warning signs and familiarize yourself with symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Stay cool with clothing: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to stay comfortable.
- For outdoor workers, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends regular rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas.
- If someone is overwhelmed by the heat, swiftly relocate them to a cool, shaded location.
- In emergency situations, dial 911 for immediate assistance.
These NWS heat safety directives are essential for safeguarding your well-being when facing high temperatures. Stay well-informed and take the necessary precautions to shield yourself and others from the potential hazards of extreme heat.
Wildlife Safari held a grand opening for its renovated Children’s Zoo Saturday.
The biggest feature is the contact yard for the goats. Theye acquired eight new Nubian Goats, which is a different species not before available to them.
Wildlife Safari’s mission is to provide the highest quality interaction with wildlife to inspire commitments to wildlife conservation, preservation and education. With the newly renovated Children’s Zoo area, known as the Barnyard, people can get up close.
One family said they’re on a road trip from Canada and when they heard about the grand opening, they knew they couldn’t miss it.
Wildlife Safari’s resident goats, sheep and pig named Sir Henry all got brand new homes, and new species of chickens and goats were brought in. Mohlman says they’ll be adding Barn Owls in the next few weeks too.
Folks were able to meet the goats in the contact yard, which was free to the public for only the grand opening. The celebration also featured some great activities like games, free lemonade and popsicles, beer and wine tastings, and a raffle.
Heightened seismic activity continues under Mount St. Helens; 22 earthquakes this week
Despite the increase, scientists say there’s no signs of an eruption happening soon
Mount St. Helens continues to experience increased earthquake activity, according to a Friday update from the Cascades Volcano Observatory.
Mount St. Helens has experienced slightly heightened seismic activity this year, compared to recent years, with 22 earthquakes in the last week alone, according to the observatory.
There have been 423 recorded earthquakes under the volcano since Feb. 1. The largest earthquake over the past week was a magnitude 1.1. –
The largest earthquake recorded in the area since Feb. 1 was measured at magnitude 2.0.
The average depth for these earthquakes last week were 2.3 miles below the volcano’s crater. This is compared to an average depth of 3.8 miles since Feb. 1.
Oregon just keeps popping up on best-of lists, saluting our state’s food, campgrounds, scenery, and so on. Now, another accolade has come our way, as a popular vacation destination on the north Oregon coast has made the list of “The 28 Most Beautiful Towns in America.”
The list, compiled by Condé Nast Traveler magazine, consists of everything from “coastal cities to southern gems,” as the article says, adding, “these idylls are worth a visit.”
So, which Oregon north coast municipality takes the honors as a “most beautiful” town? Is it Astoria? Seaside? Manzanita? Gearhart?
Not surprisingly, Cannon Beach gets the nod. The town known for its scenic stretch of sandy beach, the imposing Haystack Rock, the annual Sandcastle Contest, super-tasty fish and chips, a top-ranked beach resort, and many more accolades, can now add this one, too.
But then again, any Oregonian who has visited Cannon Beach can testify that the place is gorgeous, and its natural setting is magnificent, as the tourist crowds indicate.
