"I started using meth when I was thirteen I used with my mother I have a long history."
Jessica Scott has been sober for seven years she says that's a life she never wants to go back to. But in Jackson County meth is something the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement team is seeing too much of.
"Last year was the first year that MADGE seized over a hundred pounds of meth its not a milestone we wanted to get to but we have a large amount coming into the valley as it has for years."
Lieutenant Brett Johnson says that's high compared to 10 to 30 pounds a few years go and adds up to a 295 percent increase in 2012.
"Meth is number one i think i still see more numbers it has a bigger impact o crime violent behavior and meth."
Lieutenant Johnson says it's making its way here from Mexico... where it's cheap to produce.
"The availability of the pseudophadrine needed to produce meth in labs in the local area is really diminished so the void has been filled by the cheap meth that's coming up from Mexico."
Scott has now made it her life's work to help others stay away from the highly addictive drug.she's a counselor at on track an addiction recovery programs and services center.
"I think its alarming but in my job that's what we deal with every day."
And she sends this message to anyone seeking help:
"If you feel like you're so deep in and there's no way out there always is. I really lost everything, I got a lot of criminal charges, I hadn't had my kids for a really long time."
Liuetenant Johnson says so far this year MADGE has recovered fourty pounds of meth.
Four people dead in the span of four days from three separate incidents, that's what Douglas County authorities are faced with.
Officials in Douglas County are going through evidence and looking for a suspect in the latest shooting that occurred on Tuesday night in Winchester just north of Roseburg. The incident left two people dead. In addition, authorities said there's so far been no arrest in Sunday's homicide in Myrtle Creek.
One detective with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said already, they've investigated more murders this year than usual.
"We're relatively comfortable saying there is no threat remaining here today. We're making the presumption the person responsible for this crime is out of the area," said Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin.
When it comes to Jackson County, according to the medical examiner's reports, it looks like the homicides have been trending up slightly as well over the last few years.
According to data out of the Jackson County Medical Examiner's office, here's how the homicides stack up:
2012 - 10 homicides
2011 - 10 homicides
2010 - 7 homicides
2009 - 4 homicides
2008 - 5 homicides
2007 - 4 homicides
2006 - 5 homicides
2005 - 6 homicides
2004 - 6 homicides
When it comes to Southern Oregon as a whole, from Douglas County down through Ashland, from the coast to Klamath County, according to the FBI crime statistics database, murder and non-negligent manslaughter went from 12 in 2009, to 15 in 2010 and 2011, then dropped off to seven in 2012.
"The first thing is I want to know what's going on. Are we dealing with gang activity here [...] Sometimes there's drug violence involved," postulated Clinical Psychologist Dr. Douglas Col.
However, if none of those factors are involved, the uncertain economic climate isn't helping.
"Anytime people are economically stressed, you get those kinds of behaviors."
Dr. Col said he did his dissertation on how literacy affects impulse control. He believes a person's capacity to read and/or write may play a role in someone's tendency to be violent. The Department of Justice also reportedly agrees, saying illiteracy is closely linked to crime. He used a judge in the midwest who ordered convicts to read books as an example.
"People convicted of crimes [had to] read books and write reports on the books and the recidivism rate went way down because their literacy went up."
According to Dr. Col, also part of the problem is the idea of "community" has changed.
"It's like living in a neighborhood and only having your friends from far away over and never actually getting to know the people living right next to you. So the whole notion of community is going away," said Dr. Col.
He said there are societies where violence is not the cultural norm, but when asked how Americans could reach that norm...
"Goodluck," laughed Dr. Col.
Meanwhile, over in Klamath County, an official said they've also investigated more murders than usual already in 2013. So far this year, Jackson County has had three murders.
Nationally, according to the FBI crime statistics database, both murder and violent crimes were up in 2012 as compared to 2011.
A nurse is arrested after allegedly sneaking heroin into the Jackson County Jail. Camilla Lynn Pierce, a former jail nurse, is herself in the county jail, charged with unlawful delivery and possession of heroin and supplying contraband. NBC5's Craig Smullin reports.

18 year old Roberto Hernandez graduated from Link River High School last year...Past Principal Shelly Hunt remembers Hernandez as a student who could always bring a smile to her face...
"Roberto was really a kind-spirited, compassionate young man. He had lots of friends at Link River, he wanted to help them be a part of his community by becoming a paramedic."
The accident happened just before 6 o'clock Saturday night at Cross Street and Crescent Avenue.
Sergeant Aaron Thomas of the Klamath Falls Police Department notes Hernandez skated into a car driven by 64 year old Sylvia Cook...
"Mr. Hernandez failed to stop at the stop sign coming off of Cross Street, crossed into the southbound lane and struck the side of Mrs. Cook's vehicle. And he was not wearing a protective helmet, or any protective gear."
Sgt. Thomas adds that Cook was obeying all traffic laws at the time of the accident...
"There are no charges at this time. She's been found to be not at fault in this accident."
Hunt notes that news of Hernandez' death hit students hard...
"Our whole Link River community is grieving right now. Our students that came on Monday, we offered counseling support from KYDC on site to support anybody."
Hernandez was enrolled at Klamath Community College at the time of his death.

Medical defenses are failing. officials warn such things as strep throat and scratched knees could once again kill. They say bacteria is evolving into superbugs. Infectious diseases, pests, bacteria... many easily treated by chemicals, creams, and antibiotics... until now. "We process our food in such closed environments, not allowing animals to roam freely, so we set up environments to culture this bacteria," comments Doctor John Hopkins of Providence Medical Center. He is talking specifically about: salmonella, a common food born illness, and the culprit behind at least 300 people becoming ill after eating Foster Farms chicken this year. According to the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, it's being added to the list of superbugs... becoming resistant to antibiotic treatment, partly because farm animals are fed antibiotics to promote growth. In fact, the LA Times reports Costco recalled tens of thousands of pounds of rotisserie chicken after finding salmonella even in the cooked meat.
Of greatest concern... tuberculosis. It's becoming a global threat. The world health organization estimates 650 thousand cases in 2010 involved multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. already, each year T.B. kills over one million people worldwide.
Growing concern as the first line of defense falls.
If you like tons of offense and high scoring games, the 2013 version of Etna Powder Puff football probably wasn’t for you. But, if you like Powder Puff that actually resembles real football, then Etna is the only place to be.
The Senior/Frosh squad moved the ball a bit better than the Junior/Soph team, but neither could find the end zone.
The Senior/Frosh did, however, keep the Junior/Sophs bottled up in their own end of the field for most of the first half. That strong defense led to the only score of the game, when the Junior/Sophs mishandled a punt snap in their own end zone.
The ball was called dead when it hit the ground, resulting in a safety and an eventual 2-0 win for the Senior/Frosh.
On a side note: seriously? Fumbles are dead balls? The punter would have easily picked that up and booted it away without the dead ball call. Need to fix that rule.
Weed varsity volleyball coach Steve Neel’s pick for the Pepsi of Mt. Shasta Cougar Volleyball Player of the Week is Lauren Gubetta.
“Lauren’s serving has been excellent this last week. She had many aces and points scored. She is also working hard to be our 4 hitter and is improving,” said Neel.
Congratulations Lauren. Coach has your 12-pack of Pepsi.
The Mt. Shasta Bears topped the Modoc Braves in their home volleyball match on Tuesday, 3-0.
Game one was a nail biter as the teams battled back and forth, with neither squad leading by more than four points. Even with Modoc's senior Valerie Froeming's three aces, the Braves couldn't shake the Bears, who pulled out a 28-26 win.
In game-two, the Bears gained some leverage early on and never looked back. They easily took a large 10-point lead and went on to a dominating 25-15 win.
The Braves put up another strong fight in game 3, keeping the score uncomfortably close for the Bears. Even so, Mt. Shasta was able to maintain a small lead of one or two points for the majority of the game. The Bears eventually stepped up their game, and finished with a 25-19 win.
Sejay Sarti played a strong game and contributed healthily to her team’s victory with an impressive 15 digs as well as 8 kills. Leah Maumasi was right behind with another 8 kills and 4 digs. Ashley Cain put in some good work as well with 7 assists and 3 aces. Kirstyn Teuscher had a pair of blocks, and Tori Hansen added another.
With the win, Mt Shasta stays within reach of league leaders Trinity and Fall River. The Bears can make a giant move with a win next Tuesday when they host Fall River. Fall River and Trinity play each other this Thursday in Weaverville.
Modoc’s chances are fading fast as they now trail Trinity and Fall River by three wins with only three matches remaining. Modoc hosts Burney on Thursday.
Yreka football coach Orlyn Culp’s choice for the Miner Perk Football Player of the Week is Aaron “Tito” Paredes.
“Tito filled in at center against West Valley and played at a very high level. It was his first game starting as our center, which is a highly important and critical position in the shotgun-spread offense. He had no snap mistakes and blocked well all night against the number-1 Division-II defense,” said Culp.
Congratulations Tito. Your certificate for the Miner Perk will arrive on Thursday.

The Siskiyou Union High School District board took no action to fight a new law that assures transgender students equal access to programs and facilities at their meeting Oct. 9.
The new plan eliminates motorized vehicle use on many forest roads in the Shasta-Trinity and Klamath national forests, roads that have historically been used for hunting and fishing access, woodcutting, four-wheeling and camping.
It’s shocking when you first come upon tree stumps in the meadow behind Kid’s Lagoon at Lake Siskiyou, but Siskiyou County Director of Department of General Services Randy Akana says the tree cuts are part of a larger plan to restore the meadow to its original state.
Dunsmuir High School students last week experienced something they hope to never have to endure in real life: a mass shooting incident which was staged for training purposes at College of the Siskiyous.

Sometimes I see low pressure depicted on a weather map where the lines of barometric pressure do not support that a low pressure area exists there. Does this mean that it is a high altitude low pressure area?
Lotus Moon Wolfe
Mount Shasta High School
This is very common. Although in our weathercasts lines of barometric pressure are not shown, sometimes the cloud patterns on the satellite and radar loop may not represent the high or low pressure system depicted. In fact, a similar situation is happening right now over the Pacific Northwest.
A large ridge of high pressure is the dominant weather feature impacting the entire West, meaning the jetstream is well to our north. However, underneath this high pressure air mass, a small area of counterclockwise rotation can be seen on the satellite & radar, a low pressure system. Because this disturbance is rather small, having little impact on the weather, and not a full representation of 1. The weather in place or over our region or 2. the jetstream pattern (this is known as a high pressure ridge), the low will not be drawn on the weather map.
So the answer to this question is yes, a column of air can have large pressure differences. A perfect example of this is a hurricane. A hurricane is a large body of low pressure that forms over water. But little people know that in the higher levels of the atmosphere, a high pressure air mass exists above this area of low pressure, and it’s also part of the hurricane!
Most areas of low pressure are areas of convergence, the air converges and rises …higher in the atmosphere (within the same column of air) the air eventually diverges, leading to high pressure formation and a clockwise rotation.
The jetstream is still well to our north as a high pressure ridge continues to sit over the West. This system will break down in the coming days as a cut off low moves eastward to the coastline of California. Although this area of low pressure is rather large, it will have little impacts on our weather in the coming days with the only change being a gradual cooling in afternoon highs from day to day.
Come Sunday evening, a trough will drop into the northwestern corner of the country from the North. Most of the associated precipitation will remain off to our east, but this system will bring in a blast of cold air beginning Monday. Temperatures will be knocked down significantly to below average readings, the low 60's in the valleys and low 50's in the Basin. This of course means snow levels will drop as well and if any showers do move into the forecast area with this system, it will be east of the Cascades.
With the jet stream sitting over the Pacific Northwest during this time period, breezy north, northeasterly winds will move in as well. This will bring an offshore wind to the Coast, meaning mostly sunny skies with warmer temperatures for early next week.
EUGENE — According to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, former Duck tight end Colt Lyerla was arrested on Wednesday night for possession of cocaine and interfering with a police officer.
According to the LCSO, the arrest happened near 7th Ave. and Polk St. in Eugene, when dectectives, who were working a different case, saw Lyerla ”in a parked vehicle snorting what appeared to be a white powdery substance.”
Here is the full press release from the Lane County Sheriff’s Office:
On Wednesday, October 23, 2013, members of Lane County Interagency Narcotics team (INET) arrested Colt Kelikoa Lyerla (a 20 year old male) for unlawful possession of cocaine and interfering with a police officer.
INET detectives were working an unrelated drug investigation in the 7th Avenue and Polk area in Eugene when they observed Lyerla in a parked vehicle snorting what appeared to be a white powdery substance. Lyerla was contacted by police and admitted to using and possessing cocaine. Detectives and Lyerla agreed to meet at Lyerla’s residence to continue the investigation. Once at the residence Lyerla ran from the vehicle into a nearby apartment. Lyerla was arrested when he emerged from the residence a short time later. He was transported and lodged in the Lane County Jail.

High pressure will continue to bring cool mornings and warm afternoons to the area through Sunday. Fog and low clouds at the coast will be decreasing at the coast into the weekend with more sunshine forecast for the entire coast line. Patchy fog will form in the mornings for west side valleys with the most fog forming in the Umpqua Basin.
An upper level low will dip into the Pacific Northwest late Sunday into Monday bringing, for the most part, increased cloud cover and a significant drop in temperatures. There is a slight chance for showers on the east side Monday, this will require monitoring as of now most of the rain and snow with this system will be well east of the region. Temperatures will drop 10 degrees for west side locations and up to 20 degrees on the east side! Near freezing temperatures will be possible into midweek for west side valleys.
Stay tuned to Newswatch12 for the latest on this cool down. Thanks for logging on and have a great evening!
MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford teachers are already in the middle of intense contract negotiations, and now the Medford Education Association is filing an unfair labor practices complaint against the district.
The MEA says the school district is breaking promises it made to teachers back in 2011 to restore concessions made by teachers, and to add back cut school days once the district received additional funding from the state.
The district says complaints like this have been filed before, and they have successfully resolved them every time. This district says they have received additional state funding.
Medford School District received $93 million in the 2011- 2013 biennium, and $101 million for the 2013-2015 biennium, but they are putting that money towards additional classroom resources. They say they did add 4 days back to the school year last year.
The memorandum signed by the MEA and the Medford School District states that the current contract with reduced days would stay that way until a new agreement is reached.
"The complaint that has been filed, it's just that: it's a complaint with the agreements that we had. It's important to keep our word and a contract is word against two parties so we believe that we are keeping our current contract word but now that that contact is expired we need a new contract," said Superintendent Dr. Phil Long.
The MEA says they do not believe the complaint will affect contract negotiations. Next Tuesday, the MEA and the Medford School District plan to meet and plan to further discuss contract negotiations.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Now that construction is nearly complete on a 62 bed additions to the Jackson County Jail, county officials have approved a plan to help pay for its operation. They’ll do that by renting half the space to other agencies, including the City of Medford.
Work is wrapping up on a $1.5 million conversion of the basement of the Jackson County Jail into bed space for inmates. It used to house the sheriff’s office. To help pay for operation of that new space, the county is leasing or renting half the beds to the City of Medford and the U.S. Marshal’s Office.
“This will cover the operations of those additional expenses, including the hiring of new staff increases for food services and jail medical and transports and everything that goes along with managing the inmate population," said County Administrator Danny Jordan.
“Quite honestly, with that remodel, if we weren’t receiving that additional revenue we wouldn’t be able to afford the personnel and all of the service that go with it to open those 60 beds," said County Commissioner Don Skundrick.
Most of the work on the jail addition is completed now. Now the real job is to hire the staff so that they can open it. They hope to be able to have some of that staff hired and trained by the first of the year so the jail can be fully operational. Renting three beds to the City of Medford will help them keep troublesome offenders of the streets and pay for new staff.
“Currently the U.S. Marshal's rent between 20 and 26 beds from us a day that are in operation already. So, these three additional beds will come out of those 62. So, here is bed space available for that," said Jail Commander Lt. Dan Penland.
In fact, county officials say without the renting, there would not be money to open any of the new space. So now, the county will have 30 more beds, and other agencies will have that many as well. County Administrator Danny Jordan says the county is also negotiating with another city as well as another federal agency for the rental or lease of other jail bed space.

MEDFORD, Ore. — One Southern Oregon farm is harvesting hundreds of pumpkins and not a single one will turn into a jack-o-lantern or seasonal pie.
Think pumpkin bread or pumpkin latte or pumpkin pie is the only pumpkin-y option this time of year? What about pumpkin seed oil or pumpkin seed butter?
While the perfect pumpkin may be a beautiful bright orange, this pumpkin product has a different hue.
"It is green!" remarks customer Sarah Primerano. "It’s a good alternative to peanut butter. You can put it on anything you would normally put peanut butter on and it’s similar tasting, but the texture is a little different."
Sarah Primerano is the very proud mother of 3-year-old Giavoni and 5-year-old Rocco.
"Rocco is in kindergarten and in his school they don’t allow nuts of any sort," said Sarah. "So he really likes peanut butter and so I was trying to find an alternative to peanut butter and we were at the farmers market in downtown Medford and I saw the pumpkin seed butter."
That butter is a top seller for the Seed Oil Company. These are no ordinary pumpkins – the Styria pumpkin was grown in Austria for hundreds of years for its medicinal purposes before the Doyle family planted the seeds on their Williams property.
"Initially, you weren’t even allowed to grow this pumpkin in the Austria, because it’s only for doctors because it was prescribed for prostate, kidney, bladder. It’s also very good for bone density and it’s known to help eyesight because the high magnesium zinc and iron," said Lisa Doyle with Seed Oil Company.
The seed oil company makes three products from what they now refer to as the Williams naked pumpkin because of its hull-less seeds. It’s a pricey spoonful, the labor intensive work pushes the price up: 8 dollars for the butter, 15 dollars for the oil and powder.
For Sarah, the splurge is worth it as a working mother of two, who is trying to provide good options for her kids.
"It’s not always obtainable for me to be organic or GMO-free, but this is a way to do this and a really healthy alternative to peanut butter," says Sarah.
The products actually have a very mild pumpkin taste. Lisa from the Seed Oil Company says customers use the oil on salads and pasta, the protein powder in shakes, and the seed butter in cookies.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — The sheriff says Pierce is a “relatively new” contract employee with the jail’s medical unit, Conmed.
Sheriff Winters is not detailing how Pierce got heroin inside the jail, but to get a better idea of how close inmates and medical staff work together, NewsWatch12 spoke with one Conmed nurse at the Josephine County Jail.
Nurse Odessa McCary said she and the other Conmed staff work closely with inmates on a daily basis. She treats inmates inside their cell through a small port and even inside her medical clinic. It’s like a doctor’s office where she can physically examine the inmate.
"They come in and we can’t assess them without seeing them in person. We have cameras right there and first time we see them, we see them in this main room," McCary explained.
McCary said the inmate and Conmed staff are never alone in the room. There’s several security cameras around and a deputy who’s always present.
Conmed has specific procedures and rules it requires for its staff. McCary says Conmed staff are required to go through training and work with the jail to make sure their policies work with the jail’s rules.

WHITE CITY, Ore. — Grants Pass Police are testing their skills in a mock pursuit training this week at the Jackson County Sports Park.
The department is setting up several obstacles on the road. Officers will have to go around cones avoid certain barriers and work with spike strips. Police will also be tested on their communication skills.
Inside their car there’s a radio attached where they have to talk with a dispatcher during the pursuits. The department makes sure to review safety procedures before officers get into the car.
"So we test and make sure they are okay and then we throw them in the pursuit car and we also always have a safety officer so they can make sure they don’t get too goofy and go off course and something like that and run out into the sticks," said Lt. Jim Hamilton.
Les Schwab donated several used tires to the department so officers can use them to run over spike strips.
