Today’s Headlines
Two Klamath Falls residents and a third suspect from California are in custody following the search and seizure of an illegal grow operation on Keno-Worden Road.
Taylor Lalande, 29, and Loretta Kerekes, 49, of Klamath Falls, and Alan Mojicia-Meja, 26, of Orland, Calif., were arrested at a property found to be housing five “unpermitted” greenhouses containing marijuana plants.
The three suspects are charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, unlawful manufacture of marijuana, criminal conspiracy and unlawful use or appropriation of ground water.
“The greenhouses and surrounding property contained 3,780 illegal marijuana plants in various stages of maturity,” a news release from Klamath County Sheriff’s Office reads.
The release said law enforcement also discovered the operation was illegally utilizing a domestic well for water.
In total, law enforcement estimates that the grow operation took 295,000 gallons of water for the plants.
The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Basin Inter-Agency Narcotics Enforcement Team, Klamath County Community Corrections, Klamath County Solid Waste, Klamath County Code Enforcement, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Oregon State Police, Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon State Water Master.
To report suspected illegal marijuana grow operations, call 541-850-5380 or email mjtipline@klamathcounty.org.
The South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership Type 3 Team is managing the Middle Fork Fire in Crater Lake National Park. The fire is estimated at 80 acres, burning in a scar from a previous fire.
The fire is staffed with resources including smokejumpers and hand crews, with aviation assets providing support. Firefighters are experiencing challenges addressing spotting from snag to snag. Today, fire managers are looking to secure the edges of the fire and build containment.
As a result of the fire, there may be conditions affecting visitors to the park. For information on current park conditions, please contact Crater Lake National Park at 541 594-3000 or visit their website.
Klamath Water Users Association Reporting Impacts To Irrigation Caused By Power Shut-Offs
The Klamath Water Users Association, a group that represents farms and ranches in the Klamath Reclamation Project, says that de-energizing is impacting ranchers in the area who use irrigation pumps on their crops.
Irrigation pumps are powered by electricity, bringing water away from local lakes and marshlands into drier areas. Pacific Power de-energizes lines in impacted areas during fire season to reduce wildfire risk, but services that require that energy are also impacted.
“Row crops like onions need to have water on a routine schedule,” Gene Souza, the manager for the Klamath Irrigation District, said. “If the water is not applied in those schedules, the crop is not as marketable.”
Souza said some of the changes he’d like to see from PacificCorp include isolating higher-risk areas and instating a public utility district to specifically serve the Klamath Irrigation District.
KWUA encourages any farmer experiencing an outage to their irrigation system to reach out to Pacific Power’s irrigation hotline at 800-715-9238.
Moore Park Playground Repairs Beginning July 24th
The City of Klamath Falls would like to inform residents and visitors that the new
playground at Moore Park will be temporarily closed for repairs beginning on July 24th.
The closure is expected to last approximately five days, during which time necessary maintenance
and repairs will be conducted to ensure the safety and functionality of the playground equipment.
The reopening is expected to be Monday the 29th or Tuesday the 30th.
During the closure, visitors are encouraged to explore other areas of Moore Park, including the
walking trails, picnic areas, and sports fields. The park will remain open for all other activities.
The City would also like to remind parents and caregivers to supervise their children at all times
while in the park, and to follow all posted safety guidelines.
Two new trustees joined the Board of Trustees of Oregon Institute of Technology this month. The trustees are Mark Neupert, Ph.D., a member of the Oregon Tech faculty, and Aaron Hill, a current Oregon Tech student.

Klamath City and County officials are working together to ensure residents suffering form dry wells have a reliable source of water in Klamath County.
At the regular meeting Monday evening, Klamath Falls City Council approved the entrance into an intergovernmental agreement, or IGA, with Klamath County commissioners to construct and operate a water fill station on county property.
The city began the planning phase of the water fill station project last year and has been providing water for county residents with dry wells since 2021.
The IGA establishes the responsibilities of both parties, with funding and site allocation assigned to the county.
Klamath County will provide a total of $500,000, which includes a 10% contingency cost.
The IGA states that, once the project is complete, the county agrees to “transfer the newly created parcel of land to the city by the end of 2024.”
As the lead agency, the city will contract the design and construction of the fill station and will establish the billing rate and usage limits, the IGA says.
Construction is required to begin no later than June 2025.
City water infrastructure is slated for improvement with council approving consultant service and construction service contracts to replace water mains and install a new pump station.
The South Sixth Street booster pump station project will provide water to residences, businesses and other city sites in the eastern portion of the city limits.
Other city business included • City council unanimously approved pay increases for City Manager Jonathan Tiechert, City Attorney Michael Swanson and Municipal Court Judge Nathan Ratliff.
- Council approved to submit a recommendation to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission on behalf of Chipotle restaurant.
KLAMATH COUNTY will have road work crews at the following locations during the week of July 22.
Please use caution when in these areas and watch for flaggers. If you are able to avoid the work zones, please use an alternate route for your safety and the safety of Klamath County employees and our contractors.
Chip Seal Crew, July 22-24 — Dead Indian Memorial Road. July 25, South Poe Valley Road
4 a.m. — Early Morning Broom Crew
July 23-25th — Dead Indian Memorial Road

July 22 — August 15, See the following link for a map of roads to be chip sealed for the 2024 season, or log onto the Klamath County Public Works website at http://www.klamathcounty.org/734/Maps. In general, flagging stations will be set up at the end of the work zone and delays will be 0 to 20 minutes for the motoring public.
Our goal is to minimize the delay. There may be adjustments of work schedules due to weather or other items outside of the county’s control (breakdown of equipment, material/resource availability, etc.) Please do not contact the county if you do not see work occurring, it could be finished already or will be rescheduled. Please drive slow through Chip Seal and Paint Stripe areas. This will reduce damage to the Chip Sealed and Painted areas. It will also reduce the probability of oil or paint getting on your vehicle.
Klamath County Public Works and the Board of County Commissioners appreciate the motoring publics’ patience during the repair season for our local roads and bridges. If you have any questions regarding work, please contact the Public Works Department at (541) 883-4696.

Teaming with independent dealers since 1945, the U-Haul Company of Oregon announced that Worden Truck Stop will be serving the Klamath Falls community as a U-Haul neighborhood dealer.
According to a press release by the U-Haul Company of Oregon, Worden Truck Stop will start offering essential services like U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, moving supplies and in-store pickup for boxes.
“During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation,” said Tanner Bonheimer with U-Haul. “Because no financial investment is required to be a dealer, these local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises. They are simply small businesses that have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment, and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their area. When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer, they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community.”
Located at 19777 Highway 97 S., to reserve a U-Haul product from Worden Truck Stop, call (541) 205-0023 or visit uhaul.com
Klamath IDEA has become its own entity
Over the past several months, Klamath IDEA’s leadership team has been working toward — and has received — 501©(3) determination from the Internal Revenue Service to become an independent organization, severing from the organization’s prior relationship as a part of the Klamath Community College Foundation, which has financially sponsored Klamath IDEA since 2018.
Klamath IDEA is a community initiative committed to developing a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in Klamath County by strengthening existing small businesses and by supporting the emergence of new ones. Klamath IDEA facilitates the linking of the varying elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting entrepreneurs to economic development organizations, government agencies, business resource providers and financial and human capital specialists.
Klamath IDEA is governed by an eLeadership Team. Helping to lead Klamath IDEA into its next chapter are founding board members Hallie Neupart, Justin Lair and Chip Massie. Other recently added board members are Rigo Cisneros and Estella Woodley. The eLeadership Team is comprised of seven voting members and Klamath IDEA is currently recruiting for two additional members.
The IDEA is also seeking candidates for a number of committees to further guide the organization’s work and activities in areas of finance and development and outreach and engagement.

In just the last week, Gov. Tina Kotek declared five conflagrations – meaning many structures have burned or the scale of the fires exceed local resources. They’re the result of some human-caused fires and thousands of lightning strikes earlier in the week that ignited more than 100 new fires.
Ruiz-Temple and the Oregon Department of Forestry’s deputy director of fire operations, Kyle Williams, said lightning storms that are expected Friday through Monday will further elevate risk. South central Oregon, in the Klamath and Medford areas are at highest risk Friday evening before lightning is expected to move north and east until Monday.
The two doubled down on their pleas to Oregonians to minimize the potential for human-caused wildfires so their agencies can manage scarce resources.
“We have our hands full already, and there’s more lightning coming – we can address that, as long as our resources are not busy dealing with other human caused fires,” Williams said.
So far, the number of human-caused wildfires in Oregon is below average, according to Williams. But because conditions are so hot and dry, those wildfires are getting larger and burning more acres than average.
Burn rules across state and national parks and forests have gone into effect, and fires are allowed only at some designated campsites. Officials recommend ensuring fires are properly doused and put out, that people keep vehicles off of dry grass and ensure vehicle chains are not dragging. The Oregon Department of Forestry recommends avoiding any backyard debris burning during the fire season.
On July 12, Kotek declared a statewide wildfire emergency, which enabled National Guard deployment to parts of the state and allowed state and federal resources to flow to areas in need.
“To be very honest, our wildfire season is off to a very aggressive start,” she said.
Oregon has received additional equipment and firefighters from Washington, California, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Colorado and Florida, and Kotek expects more wildfire fighters will arrive in the coming days.
“I cannot emphasize enough: This is a dynamic, fast-moving situation for our state, and we will continue to use every resource, every person that we can get our hands on, to fight these fires,” she said.For more information on how to prepare for possible evacuation, visit: wildfire.oregon.gov

Kotek Invokes Emergency Conflagraton Act for Durkee Fire in Baker County
SALEM, Ore. – On Saturday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act for the Durkee Fire in Baker County. The fire sparked Wednesday and continues to grow, threatening communities. The Baker and Malheur County sheriffs’ offices have levels 2 and 3 evacuation notices in place.
As of Sunday morning, the fire was estimated to be 116,431 acres and zero percent contained. This fire is managed by the teams assigned to the nearby Cow Valley Fire in Malheur County.
Oregon is expecting another round of lightning and gusty winds over the next 24 hours. Red Flag Warnings extend across much of the state through Sunday. Oregonians are asked to pay extremely close attention to this critical fire danger and take the necessary steps to avoid sparking a fire. As of Sunday morning, there were 81 active fires that burned 504,692 acres in Oregon.
Widespread lightning over the Pacific Northwest on July 16 ignited many wildland fires. Diamond Lake area fires now called the Diamond Complex.
Firefighters are detecting, assessing and attacking these fires as they develop. Fires on the Diamond Lake District of the Umpqua National Forest are grouped into the Diamond Complex.
Currently there are twelve fires totaling an estimated 2,385 acres in the Diamond Complex, under a strategy of full suppression. This means firefighters are directly attacking the fires’ edge where access and firefighter safety allow, and implementing indirect strategies using constructed control lines, and utilizing natural barriers where access issues and safety concerns prevent direct attack.
The fires currently comprising the Diamond Complex are Pine Bench, 917 acres, north of Hwy 138 near Dry Creek, Trail, 808 acres, east of Hwy 138 on the west slope of Mt. Thielsen; Lemolo, 299 acres, north of Lemolo Lake on Bunker Hill; Pig Iron, 27 acres, Pig Iron Mountain north of Hwy 138; Watson, 77 acres, north of Hwy 138 on Watson Ridge, Brodie, 51 acres, about 5 miles south of Hwy 138 and south of Devils Canyon; Trep, 58 acres, about 4 miles south of Hwy 138; Garwood, 5 acres, about 3 miles southwest of Mt. Bailey; Slide, 0.1 acres, northeast of Pine Bench; Potter, 127 acres, north of Hwy 138 about 2 miles southeast of Potter Mt.; 252, 14 acres, north of Hwy 138 about 1 mile northeast of Bird Point; and Clearwater, 2 acres, south of Hwy 138 about 5 miles northwest of Diamond Lake.
Yesterday, Northwest Team 7 continued firefighting operations with active suppression on the Trail Fire. Dozer lines are being reinforced with water delivery hose lines from Hwy 138 to the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness boundary. The Pig Iron fire had active suppression activities with ground and aerial resources to protect critical infrastructure. Firefighters worked to keep the Pine Bench fire west of Forest Road 4775 and away from critical infrastructure as the fire moves north into the Boulder Creek Wilderness.
Today, active suppression continues with the Lemolo, Trail, Pig Iron and Pine Bench fires as priorities. As the fires progress, the team will re-prioritize suppression actions. Nationally and in the Pacific Northwest, fire activity is putting an extreme demand on firefighting resources. This means that firefighters must carefully prioritize and efficiently utilize available resources to protect values at risk. The highest priority will remain public and firefighter safety and protecting infrastructure and homes.
Weather: The Red Flag Warning expired at 8 am this morning. Today will see slightly higher relative humidity and lower temperatures, providing firefighters with the advantage of less intense fire behavior.
Closures and Evacuations: The USFS and the Douglas County Sheriff have implemented public safety measures in response to these fires. Umpqua National Forest has issued a closure order that impacts all of the Cottage Grove Ranger District and parts of the Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller Ranger Districts.
The closure order can be found here: https://bit.ly/3SeYvih. Additionally, Diamond Lake, Thielsen View, and Broken Arrow Campgrounds are closed through July 28, 2024, and will be reevaluated closer to that date. The Douglas County Sheriff has issued a Level 3: GO NOW for the Trail Fire and the Lemolo fire. There is a Level 2: BE SET for the Pine Bench. Fire danger is set at High and public use restrictions are set at Level 2. Please see detailed information here: www.dcso.com/EVACUATIONS and www.fs.usda.gov/umpqua.
A man who disposed of his newborn daughter in a commercial recycling bin — sparking a citywide outcry and decade-long mystery until DNA evidence surfaced — was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.
Alnath O. Oliver, 53, pleaded guilty to a single count of criminally negligent homicide under the terms of a plea deal. A third-degree rape charge against him was dismissed as part of the deal.
Oliver told Multnomah County Circuit Judge Kelly Skye that he wanted to spare the mother of the child the burden of enduring his trial.
Workers at a Swan Island recycling plant discovered the baby, still attached to the placenta, as they monitored a conveyor belt on May 28, 2013. Nicknamed “Baby Precious,” the newborn was eventually interred at Riverview Cemetery and an intensive investigation was launched by Portland police.
The case sat silent for 10 years until Brendan McGuire, a former Portland police detective and now FBI agent, submitted the case for advanced DNA testing.
A Salem teen is in custody on charges of killing disc jockey Oscar Chaidez and leaving his body on Interstate 5 in Clackamas County.
Jasmine Joseline Rangel, 17, faces charges of second-degree murder and use of a dangerous weapon, according to records from the Clackamas County Juvenile Department.
Rangel was taken into custody Thursday — just over 50 days since state troopers found Chaidez, 42, dead on the southbound shoulder of I-5 near the Charbonneau off-ramp at exit 282.
Authorities were initially investigating the death as a hit-and-run, but now believe Chaidez was run over intentionally.
Chaidez, who left behind three sons, had been working odd jobs in his spare time, after a former career as a phlebotomist at Kaiser Permanente.
Oregonians are apprehensive about artificial intelligence, a recent survey from the nonpartisan Oregon Values and Beliefs Center found.
The Portland-based nonprofit regularly surveys Oregonians about their opinions on matters of public interest. Its latest research on artificial intelligence comes as the state grapples with how to handle the emerging technology. Earlier this year, the Oregon Legislature passed a law to crack down on artificial intelligence used by political campaigns to mislead voters, and Gov. Tina Kotek formed a new advisory council.
The online survey of about 1,800 Oregonians found a general wariness of AI, though most have used some form of artificial intelligence in their day-to-day lives. Navigation tools like Google Maps, virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, autofill and spam filters were most commonly used.
Respondents were generally optimistic about AI being used for advancements in medicine, science and research, but they were most worried about its impact on jobs.
Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said the government should regulate the corporations developing artificial intelligence, though about the same number of respondents said they didn’t trust that the state government has the necessary expertise to regulate the complex industry.
Respondents were evenly split on whether decisions about how to regulate AI should be left to the people and, by extension, their elected representatives, or whether it should be handled by independent experts. More respondents trusted the scientific community, ethics experts or leading universities to make decisions about AI than trusted the government or technology companies.
Two brothers from Pendleton pleaded guilty last week to civil disorder and other charges stemming from their breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Jonathanpeter Allen Klein, 24, pleaded guilty to one count of civil disorder, a felony, and one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, a misdemeanor. Matthew Leland Klein, 27, pleaded guilty to civil disorder and a misdemeanor charge of entering and remaining in a restricted building.
The two men will be sentenced in the District of Columbia on Nov. 15.
According to court documents, the brothers traveled from Portland to Washington, D.C., to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally and then made their way toward the Capitol building and entered into the restricted perimeter before separating and entering the Capitol.
An examination of a mobile device associated with Jonathanpeter Klein suggested he was in and around the Capitol building on Jan. 6 for about two and a half hours, according to the indictment.
Both had notified others of their plan to attend the rally in D.C., according to court records.
On the Williamette River near Portland, the body of “Top Chef Masters” star Naomi Pomeroy was recovered Wednesday, four days after she drowned while tubing with her husband and a friend on the river.
The renowned chef, 49, was on the Willamette River Saturday evening when she became trapped underwater. The tragedy happened when Pomeroy, her spouse, Kyle Linden Webster, and friends were on tubes and a paddle board that were connected together, but got caught on an “exposed snag” that pulled the chef underwater.
Her body was retrieved by authorities Wednesday morning after being spotted by canoers, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office said.
