More Non-USA Citizens Found on Klamath County Voter Roles

Klamath County Elections was notified by the Secretary of State that there were potential Non-USA Citizens registered to vote in Klamath County per an error from the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles. The received information had four (4) more potentially non-USA citizens in Klamath County, whom have never voted.

The directed steps have been followed and no ballots will be issued. All four were registered in 2022, two were already inactive for undeliverable mail.

If you have evidence that a person may be unlawfully registered to vote, please send your evidence and the information to elections@klamathcounty.org. If you have questions, please contact our office at (541)883-5134.

 

Oregon legislators want answers about the DMV’s error with the Motor Voter Program that allowed at least over 12-hundred non-citizens to be registered to vote.

Nine of those people have voted, and this number is expected to grow. The Oregon Secretary of State’s office says the DMV has identified all of the people who were incorrectly registered. Those people won’t receive ballots for the General Election in November, unless their citizenship status has changed.

The DMV has made changes to the computer program that records the documents, the staff has been retrained, and an outside firm is reviewing how data is collected.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek today is directing the State’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) to take additional proactive steps to protect the integrity of Oregon’s Motor Voter program.

 

Klamath County Sheriff Kaber along with City Police Chief Rob Dentinger share concerns that social media posts are creating panic unnecessarily in the community.

Chris Kaber said via Facebook that recent threats against the community’s schools have been thoroughly investigated. He says the safety of the students is their highest priority.  Kaber added that concerned citizens be very careful to share social media posts before confirming their validity with either the schools or Klamath County 911.  He says it is crucial to avoid sharing false information because it can incite panic.

Kaber adds his office will continue to monitor situations closely and any questions the public has can be answered by contacting his office directly.

 

The Bureau of Land Management will conduct aerial herbicide applications from Sept. 25 through Oct. 31, 2024.

Weather permitting, approximately 2,599 acres in Klamath County will be treated. The applications will be conducted in the following areas east of Klamath Falls: Van Meter Fire area adjacent to Weber Road on Stukel Mountain, Golden Fire area southeast of Bly Mountain Pass.  Public lands near the Town of Bonanza, west of Harpold Rd (Windy Ridge area), Lorella and southeast of Gerber Recreation area, in the Horsecamp Rim and Lower Midway vicinity.

The goal of the proposed herbicide applications is to prevent the establishment and spread of invasive annual grasses, including cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), medusahead rye (Taeniatherum caput-medusae), and North Africa grass (Ventenata dubia).

The BLM is spraying the non-native, invasive annual grasses to restore native bunchgrass and shrub species within sagebrush restoration project areas and burned areas. The herbicide to be used for these projects is Imazapic, a pre-emergent that helps reduce the germination of undesirable winter annual grasses. Perennial bunchgrasses are dormant during this period and unaffected by the treatment.

 

Another devastating botulism outbreak has claimed the lives of an estimated 80,000 waterfowl throughout the Klamath Basin.

National Wildlife Refuges Complex.  That number will continue to climb until cooler weather and rain return to the region in late October. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) confirmed the total last week, a sum that surpasses the historic and devastating die-off event of 2020.

A news release from the Bird Alliance of Oregon said 16 conversation groups “sounded the alarm” last month when the outbreak became apparent. Teresa Wicks, biologist for Bird Alliance of Oregon, was quoted in the release saying she’d witnessed 500 dead birds, waterfowl and songbirds included, on Sept. 15 alone.

Ducks Unlimited estimated a 25% decline in the total Pacific Flyway population of waterfowl species in 2023. Among the most affected duck species are gadwalls, pintails and northern shovelers. The 2024 water season marked the first time in four years that water was available to be allocated to the Tulelake and Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuges.

The Bureau of Reclamation allocated between 5,000 and 10,000 acre-feet of water to be pumped through Sheepy Ridge via the historic and previously dormant Pump Station D. But the flows were insufficient to maintain life throughout the migratory season.

 

Oregon Institute of Technology of Klamath Falls is near the top of the class in one of U.S. News and World Report’s 2025 Best Colleges rankings.

Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT, Oregon Tech) says today it, “has proudly maintained its position as one of the nation’s top universities in multiple categories, according to U.S. News and World Report ‘Best Colleges 2025’ rankings.

“When sorted by categories for “Regional Colleges” and “Top Public Schools,” Oregon Tech is listed as the second-best public college in the West.

OIT says the publication also has ranked it the fourth-best among Western regional colleges, and moved it up five spots to the 53rd-best undergraduate engineering program, noting, “Furthermore, Oregon Tech rose 11 spots in Top Performers on Social Mobility, a ranking that evaluates enrolling and graduating a significant number of students who have been awarded Pell Grants.”

OIT says the rankings of undergraduate engineering programs, “are solely determined by peer assessment surveys. To be featured in this assessment, an institution must have an undergraduate engineering program accredited by ABET, the organization responsible for accrediting college and university programs.”

 

Lake Ewauna Wellness Project To Develop 63 Acres of Wetlands

The Lake Ewauna Wellness Project will restore, enhance and develop over 63 acres of wetland along its shores, providing new educational and recreational opportunities for the community and visitors to the Klamath Basin.

After a national pandemic, devastating droughts and polarizing politics, the Lake Ewauna Wellness Project embodies a mission to strengthen, beautify and unify the Klamath Basin.

Located on the western edges of Klamath Falls, Lake Ewauna is a 350 (approx.) acre body of water that is fed by Upper Klamath Lake via the Link River, and serves as the headwaters to the Klamath River. Often referred to as the “Everglades of the West” because of its biological diversity and importance to migratory birds, the Klamath River was once the third largest salmon-producing river on the West Coast, making Lake Ewauna once part of the life force for Native Americans who relied on the abundance of salmon and trout.

In the early 1900s, Lake Ewauna served as a mill pond for nine different sawmills, but by 1970, much of the log storage had been removed and milling operations ceased by 1995. Due to past activities along its shores, Lake Ewauna’s ecological systems have been severely impacted resulting in poor water quality and a degraded wildlife habitat.

The Klamath County Commissioners and Klamath County Economic Development Association (KCEDA began the process of addressing Lake Ewauna’s poor water quality in 2022 by pledging $1 million from American Rescue Plan Act grant funds. The money was designated to adapt a management system to alleviate deoxygenation and the lake’s high levels of ammonia, nitrogen and phosphorus buildup. That system should enhance Lake Ewauna’s water quality and aesthetics, and improve endangered species habitat and the usability of the lake for recreation.

Project leader Randy Cox said  in 2020, we did a downtown (Klamath Falls) survey and 90 percent of individuals said they wanted access to the water (on Lake Ewauna. Initially, Cox explained, for 18 months KCEDA was working with a company to remove over six feet of sediment in Lake Ewauna by enzymes and aeration only to learn the process was not approved for use on that specific type of body of water.

Aimed to be completed in phases, Klamath County and the City of Klamath Falls have already started working with the Wildlife Service to identify and remove invasive vegetation such as blackberry and red canary grass along the lake’s ridge lines and plant native vegetation that will not only enhance the area’s beauty, but also provide suitable habitats for butterflies, birds and fish.

Additionally, wetland design work is currently underway to restore 15 acres of wetland along the existing half mile of the Klamath Wing Watchers Trail, connecting by the new 63 acres of wetland (county-purchased property) under development.

 

Klamath County Public Works Department announced the following major roadwork projects for the coming week.

SHASTA WAY — Sidewalk replacement, Madison Street to Patterson Street; expect daytime travel lane closures with flaggers.

LAVERNE AVENUE — Road and utility work in the vicinity of Stearns elementary School, Altamont to Crest; expect daytime travel lane closures with flaggers.

ARTHUR STREET waterline replacement between Shasta Way and South Sixth Street; expect daytime travel lane closures with flaggers.

SADDLE MOUNTAIN PIT ROAD — Bridge closure; detour route through Switchback Road and Forest Service Road 150.

 

On Friday, September 27th, Klamath Film will run the annual Klamath Independent Film Festival.

To accommodate the event, 7th Street will be closed between Pine Street and High Street from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Any questions regarding the film event can be directed to Logan Baldwin at (615)766-7971.

 

People wanting to drive around Crater Lake National Park’s Rim Drive, the road that loops around Crater Lake, can do so – at least for a short time.

Construction work on a section of East Rim Drive has been completed for the season, according to Crater Lake National Park officials. They caution the opportunity may be brief, noting, “The entirety of Rim Drive will remain open until Nov. 1 or the first significant snowfall, whichever comes first.”

East Rim Drive had been closed this summer from Skell Head to the Phantom Sip Overlook, including the Cloudcap Road. The upgrades to Rim Drive are expected to “make driving safer and smoother.

The multi-year reconstruction project that began in 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2027 costs is expected to cost about $56 million and is funded by Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund. When completed, about 19 miles of East Rim Drive and a portion of the Cloudcap Spur Road will be upgraded. Park officials note East Rim Drive extends along the southern, eastern, and northern rim of the Crater Lake caldera.

Along providing visitor access to panoramic views of the volcanic created caldera from overlooks, the road provides accesses to hiking trails, picnic areas, geological formations and waterfalls.

 

The Klamath Basin Oktoberfest was a resounding success last weekend with more people attending than ever before.

Presented by the Klamath County Economic Development Association, executive director Randy Cox said although the numbers are still being tallied, the annual event brought more than 2,500 people to the festivities.

As for the beers, the executive director said the favorite local brewery this year was Sky Line Brewery, followed by close second- and third-place winners Woodsy’s Kitchen and Common Block.

Next year’s date is already set, Cox said, for Sept. 20, 2025.

 

While the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLMs) Gerber Recreation Area remains open year-round, the area will be entering off-season starting September 30, 2024.

During the off-season, no amenities are provided, such as drinking water, trash collection, and there will be no camp host on duty; however, camping is FREE.

Gerber is set on a vast plateau in the high desert about one hour’s drive east of Klamath Falls. Mountain ridges and scattered Ponderosa Pine forests add variety and texture to the area.

Gerber offers opportunities for camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, along with access to 100,000 acres of backcountry suitable for exploring, hunting, wildlife viewing, and scenic OHV driving.

As you head out to picnic, camp, or hike in the outdoors, we want you to be safe from the risk of wildfire. Make sure all off-road vehicles have a properly functioning catalytic converter or approved spark arrester.

 

Nighttime “Flashlight Tours” of the Baldwin Hotel Museum will be offered Friday and Saturday evenings from from Friday, Sept. 27, through the month of October.

Around the State of Oregon

Perhaps the most glaring distinction between the two leading candidates for Oregon secretary of state is where they fall on the very basics: how Oregonians vote.

Liberal Democratic nominee Tobias Read would like to see Oregon’s vote-by-mail serve as a national model, while Republican Dennis Linthicum recently filed a lawsuit questioning the validity of mail-in voting altogether and the chances for fraud of many kinds.

Four years ago, former President Donald Trump raised issues about absentee voting and falsely claimed the election was stolen.

Conservatives have echoed those concerns, which have largely been dismissed by Democrats.

But in recent weeks, revelations that Oregon mistakenly registered at least 306 noncitizens to vote injected a new level of intensity in an otherwise relatively drama-free statewide race for Oregon secretary of state.

Linthicum has seized on the issue. There is no evidence that the people mistakenly added to the voter rolls are in the United States illegally nor that they intentionally registered to vote.

They were passively registered through the DMV’s automatic voter registration law, known as motor voter law.

For his part, Tobias Read, the Democrat from Beaverton, has said he was “appalled” by the discovery and said the secretary of state must move quickly to “protect the integrity of our system.”

Read, the current state treasurer and former house lawmaker, said he plans to bring stability to the role. The office, he said, has seen enough excitement recently. The previously elected Secretary of State Shemia Fagan announced in May 2023 that she was stepping down before her term was over.

Her announcement came after revelations, first reported by Willamette Week, that she had signed a lucrative contract with a cannabis company at the same time her office audited state regulations on cannabis business. The owners of the cannabis company were also high-profile Democratic donors.

 

Oregon legislators want answers about the DMV’s error with the Motor Voter Program that allowed over 12-hundred non-citizens to be registered to vote.

Nine of those people have voted, and this number is expected to grow. The Oregon Secretary of State’s office says the DMV has identified all of the people who were incorrectly registered. Those people won’t receive ballots for the General Election in November, unless their citizenship status has changed.

The DMV has made changes to the computer program that records the documents, the staff has been retrained, and an outside firm is reviewing how data is collected.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek today is directing the State’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) to take additional proactive steps to protect the integrity of Oregon’s Motor Voter program.

The Governor’s new directive follows a resolved data processing error in a set of records transmitted to the Oregon Secretary of State (SoS), which says today after a review of all relevant records, it identified nine potentially ineligible voters with improper registration records.

After DMV and SoS identified nine potentially ineligible voters with voting histories who were improperly registered without proving citizenship due to a data processing error at DMV, Oregon DMV said a tenth voter was confirmed to be an eligible voter, leaving nine potentially ineligible voters as wrongly registered to vote.

The SoS ordered inactivation of another 953 voter registrations today, besides 306 inactivations September 13 from the same error.  SoS Office says those 1,259 people won’t get ballots for the 2024 election yet have the opportunity to properly register if eligible with adequate time to do so prior to the election.

 

The Oregon Department of Forestry needs emergency funding to pay for the most expensive wildfire season in state history, with record-high costs of $250 million and counting.

As of mid-September, more than 1.9 million acres of land had burned across Oregon — nearly double the acreage burned in the notorious 2020 wildfire season, and far above any other year in ODF’s recorded history.

ODF has now exhausted its funds. In order to pay firefighters and contractors, the department is returning to its usual process of acquiring more money from the state — except this time, it may not be enough. Outside of the legislative session, agencies turn Oregon’s Emergency Board. Staffed by the Legislative Fiscal Office (LFO), the E-Board allocates emergency funds to keep things afloat until lawmakers return.

Dozens of state agencies submit requests every few months. ODF is asking for $47.5 million from the E-Board this September, including a request for $40 million from the board’s general fund.

Three of the last five years (2020, 2021 and 2024) have eclipsed costs of $120 million, with 2024’s figure of $250 million and rising seen as a wake-up call for the state.

Fall and winter will likely bring an increase in flu, COVID and RSV infections.

Oregon health officials are urging you to get vaccinated. While they may not keep you from getting sick, they’ll help keep you out of the hospital. Three percent of infants younger than six months are hospitalized with RSV. Most of them have no underlying illnesses. They also say parents need to get kids vaccinated against measles.

Oregon has dropped below the 95 percent threshold for herd immunity in school-aged children. There have been 31 measles cases this year, and measles can have life-long effects.

 

An eight-thousand-dollar reward is offered for information that helps identify the person who started several fires in Malheur County in July.

The largest fire, the Cow Valley Fire, burned 133-thousand acres. The fires started early on July 11th near Highway 26 and the Malheur Reservoir. The Cow Valley Fire destroyed homes, outbuildings, livestock, rangeland and irrigation equipment. The Oregon Cattlemen’s Association is joining the Bureau of Land Management in offering the reward.

 

Middle class workers who are shortchanged in their paychecks, denied overtime pay or otherwise incorrectly compensated will no longer be able to seek relief from the Oregon Labor Bureau beginning in October, the agency’s leader said Monday.

Labor Commissioner Christina Stephenson told the Senate Labor and Business Committee that the agency will begin dismissing all claims from workers who earn more than $52,710 in an effort to tackle a massive backlog of complaints that it says it cannot handle due to chronic understaffing.

The announcement comes a month after the agency asked Gov. Tina Kotek and lawmakers to increase its budget by roughly 36% for the coming two years, saying it would begin dismissing claims without an influx of new funding.

The Bureau of Labor and Industries currently employs 149 full-time workers and has a two-year budget of $59.6 million. Along with setting an income threshold for wage claims, Stephenson said the agency has also begun dismissing lower-priority civil rights claims. It is prioritizing domestic violence leave, retaliation, housing and specific discrimination cases, as well as cases in which the Labor Bureau is the only enforcement agency or whistleblowers allege violations within state government. Mann said cases that don’t meet that criteria are the most likely to be dismissed.

 

The maximum rent increase in Oregon for units older than 15 years is 10 percent next year.

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services sets the rate each year in September. It’s seven percent plus the annual Consumer Price Index or 10 percent, whichever is lower.

Since the law took effect in 2019, the increase has held around nine or ten percent each year.

 

Oregon is receiving four-million-dollars to improve behavioral health services around the state.

The money is coming from the Health Resources and Services Administration. 240-million-dollars is being distributed nationwide. The money will go to health centers in Portland, Roseburg, Prineville, Hood River, and Fossil. Health centers serve as a primary source of care for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicaid.

 

The Oregon State Hospital has hired a consulting firm to help it address safety violations that federal inspectors flagged after three patient deaths and other issues like sexual contact between patients.

The hospital has contracted with Chartis and will pay the company up to $1.7 million for months of work at the hospital, said Amber Shoebridge, a spokesperson for Oregon State Hospital.

The psychiatric hospital in Salem, run by the Oregon Health Authority, has more than 500 patients, many of them needing mental health care so they can return to their communities and face criminal charges.

 

A 78-year-old man drowned after falling into the ocean near Bastendorff Beach earlier this month.

 

According to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received a report of an elderly man, later identified as James Chittum, falling into the water on September 15 around 5:30 p.m.

Due to the location, rescue teams were assisted by the U.S. Coast Guard who utilized a large marine boat and helicopter to locate the man. Officers later located Chittum deceased. There is no additional information on how the fall occurred.

 

 

A single word describes 2024 fall hunting — extraordinary.

This hunting season will offer both extraordinary challenges and extraordinary opportunities.

According to officials, the challenges: Massive fires have burned nearly 2 million acres in eastern and southern Oregon. While this past week offered some rainfall relief, the forecast is for sunny weather up to and including the onset of the popular general buck deer seasons.

Chronic wasting disease pretty much surrounds Oregon, with detections in Washington, Idaho and California (not Nevada — yet). Botulism and avian flu, prevalent in low-water years, are possible among migrating waterfowl statewide.

The opportunities: Continued mild winters offer some extraordinary bumps in game-bird populations. Most (not all) big game numbers are up across most of the state, including buck and bull ratios for deer and elk. Hunters returning from bow seasons in the east report very few wasps (just a little icing on the cake here).

A note for those with coveted big game tags: Deer, elk and bears are mostly capable of escaping raging fires and can migrate into other areas of any wildlife management unit. They also tend to gravitate quickly back into burned zones to take advantage of emerging vegetation.

 

The Oregon Department of Education, in partnership with the Oregon Lottery, is announcing the Lake Regional Teacher of the Year.

Deborah Watts is a third-grade teacher at the Arthur D. Hay Elementary School in Lakeview.

Educators can be nominated for Regional Teacher of the Year by students, colleagues, administrators, friends, and family members. As shared by a colleague in her nomination, “living in a rural/frontier community presents several challenges for educators. We are lucky to have Ms. Watts as a teacher, mentor, and advocate. Every student Ms. Watts interacts with leaves her classroom better prepared with academics and social-emotional skills.”

As the Lake Regional Teacher of the Year, Watts will receive $1,000 and is entered into the running for Oregon Teacher of the Year. The statewide winner will be announced in October.

 

A year-long renovation project to restore and enhance the Douglas County Veterans War Memorial culminated late last week in a rededication ceremony attended by local officials, veterans, and community members.

The memorial, situated on the grounds of the Douglas County Courthouse, now features new plaques, a Purple Heart Memorial statue, updated landscaping, and two additional flagpoles to properly display the United States, Oregon, and POW/MIA flags.

The project, made possible through a $59,000 grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, aimed to preserve the integrity of the memorial and ensure its accessibility for future generations.

Commissioner Tim Freeman says he has watched the restoration project unfold with anticipation.  The ceremony included the first-time raising of the POW/MIA flag over the courthouse, a wreath-laying in honor of fallen soldiers, recognition of Blue and Gold Star families, and a traditional ribbon-cutting. The Geneva Academy of Roseburg Honor Choir sang the “Star Spangled Banner” as well as “God Bless America,” bagpipes played by Hector the Hero were accompanied by a 21-gun salute, and the playing of Taps.

Commissioner Chris Boice gave a special proclamation honoring September 20 as POW/MIA recognition day in Douglas County.

 

The Portland Trail Blazers will have their games broadcast over-the-air this TV season.

This is because of a newly announced partnership between the team and Sinclair TV Broadcasting Inc. All games will be over-the-air on either KATU or KUNP in the Portland area.

All fans will need is an antenna to watch games. There will also be a direct-to-consumer streaming service dubbed BlazerVision. The service will cost 120 dollars for the season.

 

Historic buildings and places, some that remain prominent and others that have faded from most memories, are featured in the newly released “Far Corners 3: Historic Buildings in the Land of the Lakes,” by the Shaw Historical Library.

Scott Lawson, the Journal’s lead co-editor, notes in the introduction that the Shaw published two previous “Far Corners” books in 2021 and 2022 with a different emphasis. As he writes, “this Journal seeks out well-known and lesser-known buildings that have played an important role in the history and culture of the region.”

The 220-page issue includes photos of most of the 65 featured buildings. The “Land of the Lakes,” a region that includes Southern Oregon, far Northern California and Northern Nevada. The writings by a variety of authors feature the region’s diversity.

Some buildings, for example, are located in Klamath Falls, Alturas and Lakeview while others include Jordan Valley, Susanville, Cedarville, Yreka and Winnemucca. Examples of featured buildings include the Modoc County Courthouse, Fort Rock Cave, Shirk Ranch, Peter French Round Barn, Lake City Flour Mill, Schonchin Butte Lookout, Tule Lake Segregation Center and Jail, Klamath Falls Marine Barracks, Williamson River Mission, Ross Ragland Theater, Franco American Hotel, Lassen County Jail, Merrill High School and many more.
