Virtual attendance at Klamath County commissioners’ meetings now necessitates prior registration from members of the public.
This new regulation comes in response to a Zoombombing incident that occurred last month, during which a business meeting was interrupted by a video of pornography being played over the open Zoom call.
The county made the announcement regarding this new protocol on social media on Thursday afternoon. “In response to a recent event involving inappropriate content shared by a virtual participant during last week’s … meeting, we are implementing a new procedure to ensure our meetings remain safe and productive for all attendees,” the statement indicates. Moving forward, virtual participation for public comments during commissioners’ business meetings will require online preregistration by no later than 5 p.m. on the Monday preceding the regular Tuesday business meetings.
To register, please visit klamathcounty.org. A link to the registration form is available below the links for viewing live stream feeds of meetings and elections. Meetings will continue to be live streamed on the Klamath County YouTube channel for members of the public who wish to watch the meetings online. Previous meetings are recorded and uploaded to the county channel.
Currently, the fire danger remains elevated in Klamath County. The fire danger level in Jackson and Josephine counties is set to escalate to “extreme” on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, as reported by the Oregon Department of Forestry. This adjustment impacts 1.8 million acres overseen by ODF’s Southwest Oregon District.
Starting at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, public fire restrictions will encompass bans on the use of power saws, with the exception of electric chainsaws, as well as the operation of spark-emitting engines. Additionally, mowing of dry grass will be prohibited. The US National Weather Service Medford office has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for Southern Oregon, forecasting temperatures that may reach as high as 110 degrees.
These circumstances heighten the potential for fire expansion. Residents are strongly encouraged to comply with existing fire prevention regulations, which include bans on debris burning and open flames. Smoking is limited to vehicles on improved roads and designated areas. For further details regarding fire season regulations, please visit the Oregon Department of Forestry Southwest Oregon District’s website.

Governor Tina Kotek unveiled a proposal on Thursday aimed at tackling the transportation crisis.
The funding strategy encompasses an increased gas tax and DMV fees to avert layoffs and sustain services. The proposal seeks to ensure sufficient funding for the State Highway Trust Fund during the 2025-2027 biennium without diminishing emergency funding for other critical issues, such as wildfire suppression.
The revenue sources include a $0.06 increase in the gas tax (raising the total to $0.46), an additional $42 for vehicle registration, a rise in title fees, and a 0.1% increase in payroll tax.
A detailed examination of the revenue sources is available here. Half of the revenue generated from these measures will be allocated to preventing layoffs within the Oregon Department of Transportation. The remaining state highway funds will be distributed to counties and cities across the state according to the traditional 50/30/20 allocation.
Should additional revenues not be secured during a special session, layoffs are scheduled to commence on September 15, with a subsequent wave anticipated in January 2026.
President Trump is once more proposing the concept of transferring water from the Pacific Northwest to California.
During a speech at the White House on Tuesday, the president stated that left leaning California Governor Gavin Newsom must permit an increased flow of water from the Pacific Northwest into California, one of many things that Newsom has not permitted for his years in office.
Experts add that work needs to be done to make this more physically feasible, as there is no existing route, diversion, or infrastructure to facilitate the movement of water from Oregon to California. Stay tuned as Trump Derangement Syndrome continues.
Authorities are seeking more victims of a man who has been charged with kidnapping, rape, and administering controlled substances to a minor in Salem. Law enforcement suspects that 48-year-old Elijah Arce [[ are-SAY’ ]] may have preyed on additional children.
Officers apprehended Arce on Tuesday night after the family of an 11-year-old girl reported her missing from a location near Waldo Middle School. Police discovered her with Arce in a hidden area obscured by bushes. He enticed her away while she was outside her home.
The U.S. Forest Service for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest has reported that firefighters have responded to four new fire incidents within the past 72 hours. Due to the absence of recent storm activity in the region, the agency has indicated that these fires are likely caused by human activity. Three of the four fires are situated in the High Cascades Ranger District, located to the east of Willow Lake. The remaining fire is found in the Wild Rivers Ranger District, approximately three miles northwest of Wonder.
The largest of the four is the Cedar Fire, which was identified on Sunday. It spans about one acre, and firefighters are currently on-site, with additional personnel en route. The Forest Service is urging the public to exercise extreme caution to prevent any sparks that could ignite a fire. Law enforcement is actively patrolling the forest while air and ground resources conduct reconnaissance to identify any further new fires. Please report any suspicious or negligent behavior.
The former pilot of Alaska Airlines, who is accused of attempting to crash a plane with over 80 passengers from Washington state while off-duty two years ago, is set to change his plea.
Court records indicate that an arraignment and change-of-plea hearing for Joseph David Emerson has been scheduled for September 5th. In 2023, Emerson was seated in the cockpit jump seat on a flight from Everett to San Francisco when he allegedly attempted to shut down the engines of the jet.
Emerson informed the police that he had not slept for 40 hours, was experiencing a nervous breakdown, and had consumed psychedelic mushrooms 48 hours prior to the flight.
ACT NOW TO SECURE SUMMER EBT BENEFITS
As summer begins to wind down, families have a limited window to secure essential food assistance through the Summer EBT program. The program offers $120 per child to help cover grocery costs when school food programs are not as easy to access. With the application deadline quickly approaching on Sept. 3, 2025, it’s crucial for eligible families to 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) are urging families to check their eligibility and apply before the deadline. Remember, once benefits are received, you have 122 days to use them.
Most eligible children received their benefits automatically on May 22, 2025, 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 in Head Start programs that participate in the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs, should still apply to determine their eligibility.
Families are encouraged to visit sebt.oregon.gov or contact the Summer EBT Call Center at 833-673-7328 to verify their eligibility and apply.
ODHS Director Fariborz Pakseresht said, “Making sure children have access to nutritious food throughout the summer is critical. This small action could provide significant support to families in Oregon.”
Since May 22, 2025, more than 347,027 eligible school-aged children have been issued $41.6 million in Summer EBT food benefits.
“There are many more families out there who may be eligible for the $120 Summer EBT benefit,” ODE Director Dr. Charlene Williams said. “This is more than a benefit—it’s a lifeline for many families. We’re asking our schools, community organizations, and summer meal providers to help spread the word by posting flyers and sharing information with families. Together, we can ensure every eligible child gets the food support they need this summer.”
Act now and don’t let this opportunity pass by. Make sure your family receives the assistance it deserves by applying for Summer EBT before Sept. 3, 2025.
To learn more:
- Call 833-ORE-SEBT (833-673-7328). The call center is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

Pacific Power has introduced its latest Wildfire Intelligence Center, a facility aimed at improving the company’s capacity to track and monitor wildfires in real time, thereby enabling more informed decisions regarding emergency power shutoffs.
“If we observe that a fire is starting to move away from the equipment, or if we determine that the fire poses no threat, we will restore power as swiftly as possible. The Wildfire Intelligence Center significantly enhances our capability to achieve this,” stated Simon Gutierrez, Communications Specialist for Pacific Power.
The center is staffed by a team of 15 and is transitioning to 24-hour operations. Since its launch on May 3, the center has monitored over 1,300 wildfires, as reported by Nick Linfoot, Wildfire Intelligence Center Manager. Pacific Power asserts that the additional intelligence has already enabled them to prevent numerous emergency de-energizations that would have otherwise been necessary, thanks to enhanced situational awareness and real-time data.
Since the onset of the pandemic, many students in Oregon have fallen far behind their peers across the nation in terms of educational achievement.
Late to the table again, Governor Tina Kotek has proposed four bipartisan bills designed to enhance the educational outcomes within the state. The enhancements outlined in these bills involve allocating state funds to programs that aim to improve and assess student performance, as well as ensuring greater predictability and accuracy regarding the funds distributed to school districts.
Additionally, these bills streamline administrative responsibilities for smaller school districts, allowing them to concentrate more on student needs and to expand upon Kotek’s 20-23 Early Literacy Initiative, supported by an extra $13 million. The enactment of these bills coincides with what Kotek describes as a historic allocation of $11 billion for the State School Fund.
Of the four bills signed, three will take effect immediately upon passage.
The Oregon Department of Human Services’ (ODHS) seeks public comment on proposed changes to two Medicaid-funded services.
These amendments will allow ODHS to implement an Agency with Choice service option for in-home consumers and will update the Aging and People with Disabilities (APD) rate methodology for Adult Foster Homes and Residential Care Facilities. These amendments are proposed with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2026.
More information, including the public notice, amendment summary and available drafts of the proposed amendments, are posted on the APD website.
To submit feedback and comments, the public may take one of the following actions:
- Send an email to Beth.Jackson3@odhs.oregon.
gov - Send written comments addressed to Oregon Department of Human Services, Attn: Beth Jackson, 500 Summer Street NE, Salem, OR 97301.
- Send a fax to 503-947-4245, Attn: Beth Jackson
Deadline: To be considered, feedback must be received by Sept. 1, 2025.
- APD was directed by House Bill 4129 (2024) to create an Agency with Choice (AwC) service model for in-home service options. This model will be added to APD’s in-home service options in Jan. 2026. The detailed requirements for AwC will be in Oregon Administrative Rules. The 1915(k) language will be amended to reference those rules. The 1915(k) will also include a description of how the AwC rates will be developed. Because HB 4129 limits the number of AwC providers to two, APD will specify that limit in the 1915(k). APD will also add AwC to APD’s 1915(b)(4) for case management services.
- APD is also proposing a new way to calculate rates for APD Adult Foster Homes and Residential Care Facilities. The rate methodology for these providers was created in the 1980s and no longer captures the complexity of individuals served in these settings. The new rate methodology will more accurately account for individuals’ needs. The 1915(k) will define the methodology and provider requirements.
OREGON STATE AGENCIES REMIND EVERYONE TO BE INFORMED AND PREPARED
Salem, Ore. – As Oregon heads into its peak wildfire months, August and September, Oregon’s public safety services and natural resource agencies want to remind Oregonians to practice wildfire prevention, prepare their home and a go-bag for evacuation and know where to sign up for alerts.
“As Oregonians and visitors enjoy the beauty of an Oregon summer, we have to remember that we are still in the middle of wildfire season,” Governor Kotek said. “Ignition risks present a real threat to our parks, forests and coastal areas – and it’s on us to act responsibly, doing our part to prevent wildfires wherever we recreate.”
According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center’s predictive services, the Pacific Northwest area is anticipated to be at elevated risk of significant fires from August to October. With fire crews responding to new fire starts every day, now is the time for Oregonians to be prepared for wildfires and help prevent future ignitions.
How can people help prevent wildfires?
The Oregon Department of Forestry is urging the public to actively practice wildfire prevention as the state continues to put out new fires every day. Additional human-caused fires on the landscape will draw the firefighting efforts away from the lightning-caused fires and put extra strain on ground and aviation resources, which are already spread thin. YOU can help prevent wildfires by:
- Checking and following your local fire regulations. The majority of the state is either in high or extreme fire danger right now, meaning even the smallest of sparks could start the next large wildfire.
- Debris burning may be prohibited where you live.
- Check local restrictions or contact your local ODF office.
- Return to check on your burn site if you burned earlier in the year.
- Make sure your car has been recently serviced to avoid faulty parts throwing sparks.
- Don’t drag tow chains.
- Avoid parking vehicles on tall, dry grass.
- Recreate responsibly. Where campfires are allowed, make sure your campfire is DEAD OUT before leaving it by drowning it with water, stirring it with a shovel and repeating that process until it is cold to the touch. If there is heat coming off it, there are still embers that could reignite.
Take Simple Steps Now to Protect Your Home from Wildfire
The Oregon State Fire Marshal reminds Oregonians that summer is not the safest time to tackle large landscaping or defensible space projects. Hot, dry conditions increase the risk of starting a fire with tools or equipment. But there are still small, safe steps you can take now to reduce wildfire risk around your home. The Oregon State Fire Marshal encourages everyone to plan ahead and do light cleanup tasks that protect your property without increasing fire danger.
Here are a few easy tasks to reduce risk in the first five feet around your home:
- Clear leaves, pine needles, and other debris from your roof, gutters, and under decks.
- Cut back plants and bushes that are touching your home or growing under roof eaves. Give trees and shrubs space from each other and from structures.
- Remove dead plants and wood mulch. Use nonflammable materials like rocks or gravel near your home. Avoid bark mulch or dry grasses right next to buildings.
- Move firewood, propane tanks, and other flammable items at least five feet away from your home.
- Cover attic vents, soffit vents, and spaces under decks with 1/8-inch metal mesh to block embers.
Avoid using power tools or equipment that could spark a fire, especially during the heat of the day. Summer is a good time to plan defensible space projects so you’re ready to work safely once wildfire season ends.

How can I prepare myself in case I need to evacuate?
The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) urges everyone to prepare for wildfires and other emergencies by knowing evacuation levels, staying informed, having a plan, and having a go-kit ready.
Evacuation Levels
- Oregon follows a three-level evacuation notification system, each structured around safety threat level.
- Oregonians should become familiar with “Be Ready, Be Set, Go!” evacuation levels to make informed decisions when receiving evacuation notices.
- OEM urges people to evacuate whenever they feel unsafe, conditions can change rapidly; individuals should always make the best decision for their safety.
- Following evacuation, people should not return to the area until public safety officials state it is safe.
- Stay informed sign up to receive evacuation at, ORAlert.gov remember to update information if need be.
- Find the websites for your county emergency management, sheriff’s office, or tribal police and follow them on social media.
What actions should you take if an unsolicited box containing a QR code is delivered to your home? Under no circumstances should you scan it, as warned by the FBI.
This scam represents the latest iteration of a practice referred to as “brushing.” Typically, a brushing scam entails sending an unsolicited package to an individual, followed by the perpetrator writing a fraudulent review in that person’s name to enhance their online reputation and sales. The FBI has indicated that receiving an unsolicited package serves as a warning that your identity may be compromised.
The latest variant of this scam is termed “quishing,” which also involves an unsolicited package; however, this particular box contains a QR code. When scanned, the recipient is prompted to enter personal or financial information. In certain instances, scanning the QR code may inadvertently install malicious software designed to extract data from your device.
The Oregon Department of Justice issued a critical alert to residents last week following yet another incident of an Oregonian falling prey to a “gold bar” scam.
According to officials, the Oregon woman was deceived out of tens of thousands of dollars after scammers persuaded her to convert her funds into gold, alleging that her bank accounts had been compromised.
This incident follows a case from last month in which a woman in her 60s from Eastern Oregon lost $600,000 to scammers after she adhered to their directives to purchase gold bars and transfer their ownership to them, as reported by state officials.
Officials from the Oregon Department of Justice stated that they, along with the Union County Sheriff’s Office, intervened in that situation after the woman’s sister contacted the state agency’s consumer protection hotline for assistance. Authorities were able to prevent the woman from relinquishing an additional $300,000 worth of gold bars, according to officials.
The liberal Oregon School Activities Association is currently confronted with yet another lawsuit regarding its policy that permits transgender athletes to participate in women’s sports.
The American First Policy Institute has initiated this lawsuit, asserting that girls who have voiced their objections to the policies have experienced harassment for their expressions. In May, two girls chose to leave the winner’s podium at the state track and field championships due to the participation of a transgender student.
The additional lawsuit is directed at the Governor, the O-S-A-A, and three school districts.
Oregon Guard Field Artillery Regiment Returns Home from Deployment to Middle East
HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. – Approximately 230 members of the Oregon Army National Guard 2nd Battalion, 218th Field Artillery Regiment (FA) returned to Oregon, days ago after a yearlong deployment to the Middle East.
The 2-218th FA deployed to Iraq and Syria in support of OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE, to advise, assist, and enable partner forces to secure lasting defeat of terrorist elements across the Central Command Area of Responsibility. This mission helped protect regional stability while supporting overall U.S. national security.
While awaiting the return of their Soldiers, family and friends gathered in the Camp Withycombe gymnasium, making welcome home signs and connecting with other military families.
The Forest Grove Police Department and Clackamas Fire Department joined in the homecoming celebration, providing support for their return.
The Oregon National Guard command team greeted Soldiers when they arrived at Camp Withycombe to congratulate them on their hard work overseas.
“It’s an honor to welcome this group back,” said Sgt. Maj. Adrian Gonzales, command sergeant major for the 2-218th FA rear detachment. “They did an outstanding job out there.”
After a year of waiting, the Soldiers of the 2-218th FA collected their loved ones and bags, and went home.
“We couldn’t be more proud of what they accomplished,” said Gonzales.
SOME PARKS TO SEE UPDATES TO PARKING FEES AND SEASONAL CAMPING RATES
SALEM, Oregon— Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is updating some visitor fees at select parks as part of a broader, proactive effort to build a more resilient financial future for Oregon State Parks.
Starting Oct. 1, 2025, Oregon State Parks will no longer waive the parking fee at 21 additional day-use parks. The parking fee is currently $10 for in-state visitors and $12 out-of-state visitors.
The parking fee does not apply to visitors who walk, bike, use public transportation, have a valid hangtag from camping at an Oregon State Park or a 12 or 24-month parking permit. Currently, OPRD charges for parking at 25 parks and waives parking fees at over 225 parks across the state.
The 21 additional parks include some of the busiest parks in the system such as Harris Beach State Park, which experienced an estimated 2 million day-use visits last year. Visitor fees help pay for maintenance and operation.
Some overnight camping rates will also see updates for visits beginning May 1, 2026:
- Overnight rates at our 29 busiest parks will increase to the top of the current rate range from May 1 through September 30. This increase will apply year round on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights (Top rate is $29 for tents and $52 for full hook-up RV)
- At all parks:
- Cabin and yurt prices will increase to the top of the rate range year round. (Top rates vary from $72 for rustic yurts to $129 for deluxe cabins/yurts)
- Boat moorage fees will increase from $15 to $20.
- Overnight parking, overflow camping and primitive camping fees will increase from about $10 to at least $15 per night.
The park system faces a projected 14% budget shortfall due to increasing costs, impacts from record visitation and a reduction in lottery funds for operations. These targeted fee adjustments, along with internal efforts to reduce costs, modernize procurement and explore new revenue, will help maintain current service levels and ensure the system remains strong and accessible now and in the future.
“State parks are some of the most beloved spaces in Oregon, but we have struggled as a state to sustainably fund them. We’re working to reimagine the future of Oregon State Parks as financially resilient system that will serve generations to come,” said Director Lisa Sumption.
State parks has three main sources of funding: a little less than half comes from constitutionally dedicated lottery funds, about 15% comes from recreational vehicle license plate fees and roughly 35% comes from park fees from visitors. It is not funded by general fund taxes.
For visitors looking to save on parking, there are annual and 24-month parking permits available for Oregon State Parks. The 12-month parking permit costs $30 and the 24-month permit costs $50. You can buy them online.
Oregon State Parks is also collecting feedback to help guide its effort to reimagine a stronger resilient park system. The surveyincludes priorities for new and existing experiences, services and amenities as well as views on public-private partnerships, sponsorships and other funding options.
President Trump has issued a Major Disaster Declaration with FEMA for Oregon to assist in recovery efforts for coastal counties affected by severe weather earlier this year.
Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties are still in the process of recovering from the consequences of severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides that occurred in March. The declaration will provide federal funding through FEMA to repair and replace affected facilities.
U.S. Congressman Cliff Bentz has stated that the president has allocated approximately $9.5 million for recovery efforts, contingent upon assessments from FEMA. Congressman Bentz also mentioned that these federal funds may include the opportunity for Hazard Mitigation Grants.
