Klamath County Elections was notified by the Secretary of State that there were potential Non-

In a related story today, the Oregon DMV acknowledged Friday afternoon that it mistakenly registered at least 306 non-citizens as voters since 2021. Expect this number to rise according to sources.
This is a problem happening all over America where non-citizens are getting on the voter roles while state and federal law states that non-citizens are prohibited from voting in national or local elections.
The mistake occurred in part because Oregon has allowed non-citizens to obtain driver’s licenses since 2019 and the DMV automatically registers most individuals to vote when they obtain a license or ID, according to Kevin Glenn, spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Transportation, which oversees the DMV.
Glenn said an initial analysis by the state transportation agency revealed 306 non-citizens were allowed to become registered voters. Of those, only two have cast a vote in any election since 2021, Glenn said. He also clarified that the issue is statewide, not limited to any specific county.
Oregon currently has more than 3 million registered voters, meaning 300 or so would represent only a fraction of potential voters who could cast ballots. Many states around the nation have already noted that thousands of non-citizens have already gotten on voter roles prior to the election ahead.
Cooler temperatures and recent rainfall have resulted in the fire danger level at Crater Lake National Park being reduced from Extreme to High.
On Friday, Sept. 13, park officials rescinded the fire ban implemented on July 25. In a news release park officials noted that “to ensure public safety and to provide the highest degree of protection to park resources,” there are restrictions to apply to fires in the park. Among the restrictions are those involving campfires.
According to the release, the lighting or maintaining of fires is generally prohibited, except as provided for in the following designated areas or receptacles, and under the various conditions. Fires at the Mazama Campground are allowed only in grills or grates provided in designated campsites.
In park or concession, residential areas fires are allowed only by residents and their guests, within grills and/or fire grates that fully contain the fire. In addition, it is required that fires be fully contained within established fire grills, grates or rings. No bonfires, defined as large fires that spill outside of the fire receptacle, are permitted. Also prohibited is the use stacks of flammable material, such as cardboard boxes or wood pallets or have excessive flame heights that could easily become uncontrolled. It is also required that fires must be constantly monitored while burning and completely extinguished after use.
Park officials also emphasized that fireworks are prohibited in the park at all times
Klamath Connections, a new multi-agency task force, aims to reduce homelessness in Klamath County.
Formed in response to Klamath County’s strategic plan — a community-focused vision plan that lays out a course of action for the next five years by establishing priority goals for the county. The strategic plan is outlined by five dynamic pillars— economy, public safety and health, housing, recreation and high-performing government.
Each pillar has set objectives and county activities aimed to foster a safe and thriving community that cultivates economic opportunity, honors Klamath County’s unique natural beauty and forms community connections. Creating Klamath Connections is one objective of the strategic plan.
Current Chairman of the Board of Klamath County Commissioners Dave Henslee said that the county’s strategic plan was framed with input from more than 1,200 community members who responded to either online surveys or by participating in a series of town halls and workshops that took place before the plan’s inception. Henslee, former Klamath Falls police chief, said that before his time as a county commissioner, he would routinely hear from the public regarding homelessness in Klamath County.
Klamath County citizens aren’t alone in their concern for the homeless population, according to an Oregon Values and Beliefs Center survey performed statewide in August 2023, more than 40 percent of Oregon adults answered that homelessness is the most important issue in the state, and more than 13,000 people are unsheltered in Oregon, according to the most recent PIT (point-in-time) count by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development) released in January 2024.
While formed as a task force, Klamath Connections is better thought of as a coalition of local organizations that includes Integral Youth Services (IYS), Klamath Lake Community Action Services (KLCAS), Department of Human Services (DHS), Klamath Housing Authority, among others. Klamath County’s PIT Count in January showed that 33 individuals are unsheltered with 42 more identifying as sheltered (in either a vehicle or a community facility). Strikingly, gathering their numbers from local school districts, HUD found that in Klamath County 583 children were considered homeless.
IYS operations director Bethany Osborn said Klamath Connections seeks to do more than “just place a band-aid” on local homelessness, but to also identify barriers and develop skills to help successfully house them for the long term. The task force is looking for more organizations and individuals to come together and is open to any creative and viable solutions regarding homelessness.

EagleRidge High School in Klamath Falls recently painted over a suicide awareness mural, upsetting the group of former students who painted the mural years ago.
The previous mural had monarch butterfly wings with a semi-colon in the middle, a common symbol for suicide prevention and awareness, with the words “You Belong Here” written above them.
One of the painters, Jaden Connolly recently saw that the mural was covered up, prompting emotions and a Facebook post directed to the school to learn why.
The school responded to her Facebook post saying, “It is a new school with a new administration.”Connolly still feels this explanation is not enough, wanting a better reasoning for why the mural couldn’t stay. She added that it makes no sense, why would the new administration want to cover up such a strong message? It makes no sense at all, she said.
The Middle Fork Fire remains at 5,286 acres burned and 70% contained, according to a news release from the U.S. Forest Service.
The fire perimeter continues to hold with no new growth. Reconnaissance flights over the fire area revealed no significant heat sources the Oregon Department of Forestry said in a news release. Crews have completed suppression repair operations along the Pacific Crest Trail and will continue to monitor the fire via vantage points and with a helicopter while also completing suppression repair work east of Route 230 in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.
Residents wanting information about current park conditions can call Crater Lake National Park at 541-594-3000.
Wildfires are burning more than 40,000 acres in Lake County this week as available resources dwindle across Oregon.
A lightning-caused wildfire in Lake County nearly doubled since Wednesday, now listed at more than 5,000 acres and 0% contained. The Buck Creek Fire is burning heavy timber about 12 miles southwest of Silver Lake, an area described as “primitive” with “limited road access,” according to reports on Inciweb.
Evacuation orders and warnings are in place with Level 3 “Go Now!” orders for a region just east of Little Yamsay Mountain and southeast of Dillon.
Burning since Sept. 7, the Buck Creek Fire has exhibited extreme fire behaviors including running, torching, crowning and long range spotting. By far the largest of the Lake County blazes, the Flat Top Fire is burning more than 30,000 acres in the northernmost portion of the county around Flat Top Butte.
Neighboring the large-scale blaze is the Firestone Fire, located a mile north in Deschutes County, which is currently burning upwards of 6,500 acres. Though the burn footprints are largely open desert, Pacific Northwest Team 3 Operations Section Chief Nathan Goodrich said in that the wildfires threaten important infrastructure, including a BPA power line, the Cabin Lake Guard Station and the power and substations at Sand Creek.
Truck drivers passing through Klamath Falls and some other areas in Oregon will be able to pick a free meal this week.
The free meals are made possible through a collaboration between the Oregon Trucking Association (OTA) and the Oregon Department of Transportation to celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.
Drivers have five opportunities across the state to pick up a free meal.
Today, Monday, they can stop by the Cascade Locks Port of Entry in the Columbia River Region at 11:30 a.m. Then on Tuesday, meals will be given out at the Juniper Butte Scale on Highway 97 approximately 13 miles south of Madras. Also at 11:30 a.m. On Wednesday, drivers can get breakfast at 7 a.m. at the Klamath Falls Port of Entry in the Eastern Cascades Region. Then lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. at the Ashland Port of Entry in the Siskiyou Region.
Finally on Thursday, drivers can stop by the Woodburn Port of Entry in the Willamette Valley Region at 11:30 a.m.
According to the OTA, there are 22,690 heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers in the state as of 2024. These drivers are responsible for transporting almost 91% of manufactured tonnage in Oregon.
KLAMATH COUNTY ROAD WORK SCHEDULE
CalTrans District 2 is closing the Collier Rest Area along I-5 in Siskiyou County. The closure starts Monday, September 16 at 3 p.m.
The rest area has water distribution issues. The rest area takes water directly from the Klamath River. The Klamath River Renewal Corporation is helping CalTrans address the problems. CalTrans did not give a timeline for this project’s completion.
Law enforcement surveillance of the property revealed what appeared to be an illegal outdoor marijuana grow site. Gerado Javier Ceja-Caloca, 41, of Portland, Oregon and Raquel Rosales-Ceja, 44, of Vancouver, Washington are the listed owners of the property on Maple Way.
Neither were located on scene and a recommendation of criminal charges was sent to the Klamath County District Attorney’s Office. Ramon Arellano-Diaz, 46, of Madera, California and Miguel Cardoza-Romero, 37, of Hughson, California were located on scene. Both were arrested and charged with Unlawful Possession of Marijuana and Unlawful Manufacture of Marijuana.
The on-scene investigation confirmed a large outdoor illegal marijuana grow site containing 5,350 marijuana plants. Three firearms and ammunition were seized during the search. Also discovered was the illegal use of water used to irrigate the marijuana plants from a domestic well. It is estimated that more than 706,000 gallons of water was illegally used to grow this amount of marijuana.
The investigation for the crime of Unlawful Use or Appropriation of Ground Water (ORS 537.535) continues. Investigators observed a considerable amount of trash and debris consisting of plastic coverings, toxic fertilizers and more scattered throughout the property. The property also showed evidence of future expansion and illegal manufacturing of marijuana.
The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Klamath County District Attorney’s Officer, Oregon State Police, Basin Inter-Agency Narcotics Enforcement Team, Klamath County Solid Waste, Klamath County Code Enforcement, Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon State Water Master.
County Commissioners Declare Wildfire Disaster Emergency For Future Funding Needs
Klamath County Commissioners made a State and Federal Disaster Declaration last week.
Five fires (the Middle Fork, Shelly, Copperfield, Red, Trash) have destroyed approximately 30,000 acres in Klamath County, with many more having raged in surrounding counties that, according to Oregon State Fire Marshal Marian Ruiz-Temple, have burned a total of 1.8 million acres of land — the worst in Oregon’s history.
The Klamath County Commissioners exhaustedly said “it’s sadly becoming routine” to declare a state of emergency due to wildfire.
By announcing a state of emergency, Klamath County will be able to provide more resources to fight the fires and their following recovery operations most notably on the Copperfield Fire located 10 miles east of Chiloquin that as of publication has burned over 3,800 acres and has claimed eight primary residents and 22 other buildings. The fire is currently 86% contained.
Beyond declaring a state of emergency, the Klamath County Commission also made two proclamations during the meeting. The first was proclaiming Sept. 22-28, 2024, as Fall Prevention Awareness Week in Klamath County. With an estimated 23% of Klamath County citizens over the age of 65, falling is the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among that demographic. It’s estimated nationally that by 2030, older adult-related falls may reach $101 billion in hospital expenses.In Klamath County, for a four-year average between 2019 and 2022, falling accounted for 30% of emergency room visits and 49% of all injury-related visits to the hospital.
The commission’s second proclamation was that of September being Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in Klamath County.

Around the State of Oregon
The Oregon DMV acknowledged Friday afternoon that it mistakenly registered at least 306 non-citizens as voters since 2021.
This is a problem happening all over America where non-citizens suddenly are getting on the voter roles while the state and federal law states that non-citizens are prohibited from voting in national or local elections. Expect this number to grow as the investigation continues.

Linn County, Ore. –Oregon State Police investigating officer involved shooting in Linn County.
On September 14, 2024, at approximately 12:42 a.m., Linn County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle in rural Linn County, near Scio. Oregon State Police located the suspect vehicle on Shimanek Bridge Drive, off Richardson Gap Road. Upon arrival, troopers found the suspect armed and in the driver seat of the vehicle.
While officers were in contact with the suspect, the suspect discharged his firearm. The Linn County Regional SWAT Team, along with the Crisis Negotiation Team, were deployed to the scene. Officers spoke with the suspect on scene in an attempt to resolve the situation.
During the standoff with officers, the SWAT Team approached the suspect. The suspect pointed a firearm at officers and was shot. The 46-year-old suspect, identified as David Tobias Tyler, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The involved Benton County Sheriff’s deputy has been identified as Sergeant Daniel Ball (6 yrs.). No officers were injured during the incident.
The pedestrian was treated and released from the hospital.
The Linn County Regional SWAT Team is a multi-agency unit consisting of personnel from the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, Benton County Sheriff’s Office, Albany Police Department, and Sweet Home Police Department.
The Oregon State Police will be conducting the primary investigation in conjunction with the Linn County District Attorney’s Office.
Thousands of Oregon workers returned to the office last year, according to new federal data, but the share of people working remotely at least part of the time remained more than twice as high as before the pandemic.
More than 360,000 Oregonians were working from home in 2023, nearly 18% of workers statewide. That’s according to newly released numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The only state with a higher share of remote workers than Oregon is Colorado, where nearly 20% of people are working from home.
The states with the smallest share of remote workers are Louisiana (8.1%) and Mississippi (6.4%).
Nationwide, about 14% of American workers are doing their jobs remotely, according to the annual survey, which asked whether people usually worked from home in the prior week. Remote work spiked during the pandemic as offices closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It stuck around because employees discovered they liked the flexibility of being able to work from home and the convenience that came from skipping the daily commute to the office. Workers have been gradually returning to the workplace since 2021.
Big Oregon employers like Intel, Nike and the city of Portland have been encouraging — or requiring — their workers to spend more time in the office.
On Saturday morning, September 14, a Medford Police Department (MPD) Patrol Officer was conducting extra patrol at the Delta Waters Car Wash located at Crater Lake Hwy/Delta Waters Rd.
The officer made contact with the occupants of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot and discovered that one of the occupants had just been assaulted with a knife and that the suspect had fled just prior to the officer’s arrival. The 44-year-old male victim was transported to a local hospital where he is in stable condition. Officers immediately established a perimeter in the area and an on-duty Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy K9 assisted with a search of the area. The suspect was not located.
An MPD Detective responded to the scene and has interviewed involved parties and witnesses. Detectives are developing suspect information and at this time, we are not releasing a description or name of any suspected involved people. It is believed that the victim and suspect know each other, and this was an assault stemming from a previous disagreement. This investigation is on-going and further information will be released when it becomes available. Reference MPD Case number 24-15042
Copycat Threats to Oregon Schools
While an arrest was made of a former student at Henley High School in Klamath Falls last week, threatening a school principal, Central Point Oregon School District 6 says there is “no credible threat” to Crater High School after a TikTok post that threatened violence towards the school.
In a Facebook post, the school district said the post “referenced schools across the country as potential targets for violence.”
When a concerned parent told the district about the TikTok post, the school district called the police, the post said. “After a thorough investigation, it was confirmed that the individual responsible for these posts has been arrested in Nevada,” the post said.
“The post mentioned numerous schools across the nation, state and region including Crater High School, but there was no credible threat directed specifically at our school.
The school district says they still increased patrols from local police today to give students and parents “an extra sense of security.”
The Medford Police Department is alerting the public to a blackmail extortion scam that has emerged in the community.
Victims have reported receiving emails from individuals claiming to have personal, incriminating information and demanding payment via Bitcoin to prevent its release. This is a scam.
Medford Police say “We strongly advise the public not to pay the ransom. If payment is made, the scammer will likely continue to exploit the victim for more money. Instead, delete these emails like any other junk mail. If the emails persist, contact the Medford Police Department. Online scam artists are continually evolving their tactics. To protect yourself: Do not open emails from unknown senders. Do not click on suspicious attachments. Be cautious when interacting with unfamiliar individuals on social media.”
If you’ve received these emails, report them to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center: www.ic3.gov.
Police are also warning of an increase in reports of a common scam. The scammer sends an email to the victim with their name in the subject line, their address and phone number.
An attached file includes personal information and a photo of their residence. They claim they will send compromising photos or information to everyone on their contact list if they’re not paid in a day.
Police say the extortion scam almost always goes nowhere. Attachments can contain malware and shouldn’t be opened. Police want anyone who lost money to the scam to report it.
TASK FORCE BUSTS PHOENIX BLACK-MARKET CANNABIS GROW CONNECTED TO ILLEGAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MARIJUANA OPERATION; CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES $26K IN FINES
In the Rogue Valley, the Illegal Marijuana Enforcement Team (IMET) detectives served a search warrant this morning at a black-market cannabis grow in the 4000 block of Fern Valley Road in rural Phoenix.
IMET detectives seized approximately 6,054 illegal marijuana plants at the property in 20 greenhouses. During the initial investigation detectives learned the Phoenix property was connected to a black-market marijuana growing operation in Northern California.
There was no licensing for any type of cannabis growing, handling, or processing at this location. IMET was assisted by Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) deputies, and Oregon State Police (OSP) detectives.
IMET arrested one suspect on the property and charges are being referred to the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office for another suspect. The suspect arrested was Yuhua (AKA Shirley) Hong, 44, of Montague, Calif. She is charged with three felony counts including unlawful possession, distribution, and manufacture of a marijuana item.
During the search warrant, Jackson County Code Enforcement responded to the scene and issued a total of $26,000 in fines to the responsible party. Fines were for violations related to unpermitted construction, solid waste, and operating a marijuana production area in violation of land use approvals. The Oregon Water Resources Department Enforcement section also responded to investigate the water usage. Further charges for water violations may be added at a later time.
While regulatory agencies investigate permitted cannabis operations, IMET is focusing on the black-market marijuana trade in the Rogue Valley. IMET is a multi-agency task force funded by a grant from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission. The task force includes personnel from JCSO, Homeland Security Investigations, OSP, Medford Police Department, and the Jackson County District Attorney’s office.
Investigations are open and ongoing with detectives working additional leads. No further information is currently available for release.
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) wants you to leave your firewood at home in effort to avoid the spread of an invasive insect in state parks and protect ash trees in the state.
According to OPRD, the emerald ash borer (EAB) has presented itself as of the most destructive forest pest in North America, killing hundred of millions of ash trees across the county and has been detected in four Oregon counties: Washington, Yamhill, Marion and Clackamas.
The department says the detection has prompted a permanent quarantine in those Oregon counties The departments Natural Resource Coordinator and Ecologist Noel Bacheller says so far the EAB hasn’t been detected in Oregon State Parks, “[A]nd we would like to keep it that way for as long as possible.”
OPRD says visitors should leave behind anyash, olive and white fringe tree firewood and materials at home and instead opt for certified heat-treated firewood or firewood.
Boaters are being warned about low levels on the Columbia and Willamette rivers.
That’s the message from the National Weather Service in Portland, which says submerged items could be potentially exposed or just below the surface of the river at least during low tide. Officials say boaters should avoid going out during low tide while the river levels are low and instead go out during high tide.
Tide information is available on the National Weather Service website.

The application deadline for the new EBT program has been extended to midnight Sept. 30, 2024.
The program offers $120 per child to help cover grocery costs when school food programs are not as easy to access.
Eligible families should act now. Thousands of families may be unaware that they qualify for this essential benefit. The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) urge families to check their eligibility and apply before the extended deadline.
Remember, once benefits are received, they must be used within 122 days. Most eligible children received their benefits automatically on June 28, 2024, if their households:
Participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Participate in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Are Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) members in households with incomes under 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level
Children in foster care also automatically received Summer EBT. However, families who did not receive benefits automatically, particularly those with children enrolled in a school during the 2023-2024 school year who were eligible for the National School Lunch or Breakfast Programs, should still apply to determine their eligibility.
Families are encouraged to visit sebt.oregon.gov or contact the Summer EBT Call Center to verify their eligibility
The city of Ontario, Oregon, will celebrate its legacy this month as the birthplace of one of America’s greatest culinary creations: the tater tot.
In 1953, brothers F. Nephi and Golden Grigg created the very first tater tots in their Ore-Ida factory, located on Oregon’s border with Idaho.
In honor of that history, the nonprofit Revitalize Ontario will hold a two-day event Sept. 20-21 celebrating the tot, including novel tater tot dishes, live music and a car show. The first festival in 2021 proved so popular, they actually ran out of tots. In subsequent years – with a steady tater tot supply thanks to sponsor and tater tot producer Simplot – the festival has grown to include a tater tot dish competition among the event’s food vendors.
