| Travelers Evacuate After LAX Gun Scare Posted: 23 Nov 2013 07:14 AM PST  LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A loud auto crash that some passengers thought was shots being fired and an anonymous call reporting a gunman prompted evacuations Friday night at two terminals of Los Angeles International Airport.
The incidents occurred just three weeks after a gunman killed a security officer and injured three other people at the airport. Airport police Chief Patrick Gannon said the sound of the crash spurred reports of gunfire among the passengers inside Terminal 5, many of whom ran outside. Police said a driver with a medical emergency caused the crash, which injured three. In neighboring Terminal 4, airport police received an anonymous call just after the crash reporting a gunman. Police ordered a complete evacuation of both terminals, but no gunman was found.
Several departing flights were delayed as passengers returned to their gates.

State representatives met Friday to try and figure out how to cover tens of millions of dollars. “We’re about 40 million short, roughly, right now on what we owe versus what we actually have on hand to pay. So, what we’re doing is borrowing a little bit. We’re paying all of our bills, everyone gets paid,” said Senator Alan Bates. The Emergency Board has thirty million dollars leaving the state needing to pay 10 million dollars from the general fund. Instead of draining the emergency fund of the 30 million, the entire 40 million dollar payment has been deferred until the 2014 legislative session. At that session budgeting for fire season is expected to be a hot topic. “We may have a new normal here,” said Senator Bates. With dry weather and a lower snow pack in recent years, Senator Bates said options need to be explored to make sure the state is prepared should another round of severe wildfires pop up next summer. “Do we buy a 50 million or 75 million dollar insurance policy? Do we try to set aside some general fund money for possible fire suppression this coming summer? We’ll make those decisions in February,” said Bates.

Two specific types of pesticides are being banned, dinotefuran and imidacloprid, both belonging to a family called Neonicotinoids. The pesticides are commonly found over-the-counter and are used in everything from agriculture to home gardening. In this case they’re getting a new, Oregon-specific label banning their use on linden and basswood trees, both ornamental plants commonly used in landscaping. "It’s very clear on the label, you cannot apply these products to blooming plants because that’s a recipe for real problems with killing pollinators," said OSU Extension researcher Rick Hilton. OSU researchers say if you have any questions around how to use pesticides, simply follow the instructions on the label.

Last year, there was one arrest for prostitution in Medford and this year so far, there has been three. But the low number doesn’t mean it’s not a problem in the area. The Medford Police Department has organized sting operations to arrest prostitutes in the past but now they’re focusing efforts on the trafficker. One survivor spoke to NewsWatch 12 about her life as a former prostitute. Rebecca Bender is now a mother of four children but when she was 18-years old, she lived a life of fear and abuse. “Life in the streets is hard. It’s hard. It’s rough. You do things you don’t want to do, sometimes you’re beaten and raped, held in rooms against your will from buyers,” explained Bender. Bender started dating a guy when she was 18 years-old, and he asked her to move to Las Vegas. “When I got there, the tables quickly turned. He slapped me across the face and told me this is how it works here. From going to Grants Pass to Vegas, when you’re suddenly in a town you don’t know your address by heart, and its kind of like, what’s my other option at this point?” said Bender. Unlike Bender who got out, there are thousands of children and women who are unable to leave. For the Medford Police Department, the emphasize in fighting against sexual slavery is now focused on the trafficker. “It’s almost a paradigm shift when you start looking at historical prostitution as being the crime, versus today when we start looking at prostitutes as being victims of trafficking,” explained detective Jim Williams. Bender believes it’s not just law enforcement who can help victims. She says educating yourself about sexual slavery is a start and another, is changing the mindset on the words we use. “How we use the term “pimp.” Our youth in the next generation are being taught that not only does that mean cool, but also that you can dress for it for Halloween, and you want your text and your car to be “pimped out”. When unfortunately, I think it masks the real issue that’s taking place. people need to know what pimps really do. it’s not cool to beat, rape molest, and sell women and children,” explained Bender. Nationwide, Medford police say there are only 400 safe houses for women who are former prostitutes. In Oregon, there are not many resources for women who want to get out of prostitution. Though, there is the Department of Human Services, Hearts with a Admission and Bender’s website, where she has online support groups.

"I was in the third grade, I was only eight years old," said Sallie Teaderman. "And our teacher went to the wall to answer the phone… and she started to cry." Nearly 200 residents showed up to Medford's JFK Exhibit to share their stories – some excited, others solemn. But perhaps nobody was more touched than 90-year old Wally Watkins. Wally drove then-Senator Kennedy through the Pear Blossom Parade just three years before his death. They spent two days together, ate dinner together – Kennedy even invited him to his inauguration. The day JFK died, Wally says, was one of the most devastating days of his life. "I started crying," said Wally, tearfully. "And I just felt so bad about it." Now as many look upon the pictures, mementos, and old news reports they think about one of the darkest days of America's past. But not Wally. He says he’d rather think about the day he picked up a young senator from the airport. "There was a woman with two kids… and they weren’t in the group," said Wally. "There were a lot of officials and stuff who came to see him, but he went over and talked to her! That was impressive… It was impressive."

The offshore flow will start to break down Sunday evening which will allow the return of overnight fog and low clouds to the coast. West side valley locations will continue to see patchy morning freezing fog through the weekend. If you headed out this weekend to the Beavers game or leaving early for the holiday you won’t have any travel problems. Wednesday a storm system will slip in from the west bringing a chance of showers into Thanksgiving. This next low pressure could dive far enough south to only bring increased clouds to our area and keep us dry. The best chance at this time for isolated showers will be northern California and the coast. This is worth mentioning, but may change as we move into the holiday and we will continue to monitor this system. Snow levels will remain between 5,000 to 5,500 feet which is above most pass levels so travel impacts will be low to none. Share you weather photos with me on Twitter or Facebook! Thanks for logging on and have a great weekend! Meteorologist Megan Parry  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now | | Researchers Not Worried about Radiation Posted: 22 Nov 2013 12:23 PM PST  CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers at Oregon State University say two and a half years after the Fukushima nuclear spill, they are not seeing any negative effects on the West Coast.
Kathryn Higley, a professor and the Department Head of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics at Oregon State University says her team has been monitoring the radiation levels not only in Japan but also in Oregon, Washington, Canada, and Australia. "Immediately following the accident, right along the coast of Japan, right next to the plant, there were some elevated concentrations," Higley said. She says though studies in Japan are continuing to examine the effects on species living at the plant site, she says other species surrounding the plant likely will not be affected. Within the last few years, Higley says the radioactive material Cesium-137 has been seeping into the ocean, but it is chemically similar to sodium. She says once it is in the ocean, it dilutes and diminishes pretty quickly. "We don't expect any adverse consequences," she said. "To the animals, to the marine species, to people consuming those species from the releases at Fukushima." Even in Japan, she says she is not anticipating any health consequences of the spill. "Epidemiologists are saying that they don't think they'll ever be able to see an uptick in cancer in the population attributed to Fukushima." She says workers at the plant had more exposure to the radioactive material, but that their chances of cancer are only a small percentage higher. Thousands of miles across the coast, she expects the same. "On the West Coast, no, there's not going to be any negative effects," she said. Though Higley does not believe there will be negative health effects of the spill, she says the Fukushima spill is still an important one to learn from. "It's important for us to continue to understand how these accidents could progress to be able to respond to any sort of mixtures of radionuclides and continue to refine the designs so that the possibility of an accident is very, very, very, very, very, very, very unlikely." The research is ongoing. Higley says scientists will continue to test areas in Japan and in areas around the world.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |  |

| Survey Aims To Build Trust With Latinos And Medford PD Posted: 22 Nov 2013 11:13 PM PST Author: Roma Villavicencio MEDFORD, OR 30 men and women took a survey that they say hold the memory of 18-year-old Elias Ruiz. "In a very real sense this is Elias' legacy," says Pam Lucas. Medford police shot and killed Elias Ruiz 2012. They say in self defense. The teen's mother had called 911 for help but police say Ruiz charged officers with a knife. And ever since, Pam Lucas with the Medford Multicultural Commission says there's been a rift between police and Medford's Latinos, 14 percent of the city's population. "I would like the police department to give us better support we want to feel safer with them," says Anahe Cervantes. Friday, the Multicultural Commission and the Southern Oregon Education Service District called together a group of parents to fill out this survey. One of six survey sessions planned to try to bridge a gap. With questions for Latino parents like: How safe do you feel in your community? and Are you trusting of the Medford police department? Police say they're on board. "Hopefully the survey will actually explain that were not there only when bad things happen but we're here all the time and we don't just respond to the Latino community because there's something bad we respond to the Latino community to help them because they are also victims of crime," says Medford Deputy Chief Randy Sparciano. Parents hope the survey will help the department better understand their needs. An understanding they hope will prevent situations like the tragic death of Elias Ruiz. "I hope parents get enough information and hope they feel safer after this," says Maria Rodriguez. Oregon Health and Sciences University of Ashland will be collecting data from the surveys to determine a common theme. They hope to give the information back to the police department by next spring.  | | 5 Ways to Happiness: Find a Purpose Posted: 22 Nov 2013 06:15 PM PST Author: Christine Pitawanich Medford We've come a long way we are now to day number five in our special series, 5 Ways to Happiness. Bobby Benson is one of many men at the Medford Gospel Mission who have found their purpose in life. "I've become a member of the neighborhood church and the neighborhood church and this mission are my family now. And as a resident volunteer I get to serve God by serving others here and it's just been really rewarding to me," said Benson. A Long, Hard Road However, the road to happiness wasn't easy for Benson who found himself jobless and homeless in Medford. "I spent most of the summer, about six months, intoxicated in the sticker bushes until I came to my senses. Came into the mission and they just sucked me up like family." His story is similar to others at the mission. "I came here strung out on drugs and alcohol," began James Byrd, the Mens Coordinator at the Mission. "My marriage fell apart, I was asked to leave my house, my children wouldn't talk to me anymore," he said. "I ended up in a mental hospital because of depression and I was suicidal. I was really at my wits end," said Laurence Rose, another man who lives and works at the Medford Gospel Mission. Happiness Through Finding a Purpose Like his friends, Benson is finally happy because he's found purpose through working with people who he says are just as needy as he is. Benson has found meaning in religion and serving others. Figuring out a purpose in life, is the fifth way to happiness. "For some people that might be more of a spiritual connection," said Doug Smith, Associate Professor of Psychology at Southern Oregon University. But it doesn't have to involve religion or spirituality. It can be as simple as having a goal, like growing a garden, raising children or serving others. Those goals that can lead to a sense of purpose. "Doing things that bring good will to others, well being to others is a very significant pathway to your own happiness," said Smith. "I know most of the, at least a large percentage of the homeless people by their names and they know me and I get to see them everyday, see how they're doing and help them and it's just really fulfilling to me," said Benson. Making a difference by helping people just as in-need as he once was. Recapping the 5 Ways to Happiness Just to recap this week's series 5 Ways to Happiness, the first way is to choose to be happy and figure out those things you love or are good at and do them more often. Think of the things that bring zest to your life. Something as simple as more physical activity, eating the food you love or just decorating your office with colors that inspire you may do the trick The second way to a happier you, is to see the positives in situations that arise in life. Third, develop meaningful relationships with other people. The fourth way to be happy is to be thankful for what you have right now. Finally, the fifth way is to find a purpose in life. For some it's religion, or raising children, or making a difference by serving others. We sincerely hope this series has helped you become a happier person. One expert i spoke with says his research indicates that people are better off actively pursuing happiness than sitting back and waiting for happiness to come to them. So go ahead, chase happiness down and keep this week's 5 Ways to Happiness in your back pocket.  | | Medford Woman Working To Keep JFK's Legacy Alive Posted: 22 Nov 2013 05:38 PM PST Author: Craig Smullin It's a dark day in American history.

DAY 5: Patricia Maccallum stands about 5 foot 6, looking thinner than past photos. She remained stoic as the evidence swirled around her. She's accused of murdering her husband Michael Christopher Maccallum.
During the proceedings she remains quiet. only asking for a snack, leaving once to use the courthouse restroom.
Today, Siskiyou County forensics expert Bonnie Mortenson continues testimony. Describing how and where at the campsite she found 3 bullets, 4 inches deep in the ground where the tent sat. The same tent his body was found wrapped in...and tossed off a steep cliff.
Mortenson reveals white fibers were found with the bullets, fibers that matched material inside a bullet ridden sleeping bag...furthering the theory he was shot while sleeping.
But it's the testimony of Jackson County cyber crimes Sgt. Colin Fagen that begins to dig into text messages between accused accomplice Amber Lubbers, step-sister Patricia, and dead husband Christopher. Like one from Chris to Patricia... saying "hey ifey! luvs u." Dated November 9th 2012. -incidentally police believe chris was shot the 16th. That text just one of over one thousand on messages on Patricia's phone, including deleted messages now recovered....the rest of the texts not yet revealed...
The prosecution is building their case... just as law enforcement built up evidence leading to Patricia's arrest.
Will this woman be convicted a killer? A decision of that gravity still yet to come in this small white Yreka court room.

| Grievance: State agencies take water from people Posted: 23 Nov 2013 07:38 AM PST Comment: Boy, does Stephen Frank give a right-on commentary on this issue. And Chinook salmon are not yet listed with the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We, in Siskiyou County, have been living this “restoration” fraud for 15 years, because the coho salmon are listed with the ESA in Northern California — but not Oregon. So you can legally catch coho in Oregon and across the invisible line in the ocean, but if you kill or even accidently harm one in California — it can be up to a $25,000 fine! Yep, time for 51, a state with some sense and agencies that work FOR the people not against them. — Admin Liz Bowen Grimes: Vidak warns: Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink By Stephen Frank, 11/22/13 California Political Views and News Capital News.com California does not have a lack of water problem. What we have is an obsession with Chinook salmon. Instead of providing water to farmers and families the government is preferring to spend money, and water, on the fish. How expensive is this? The actual cost is $2-3 MILLION per fish—NOT a typo. Literally, Guv Brown has created the most expensive fish on the face of the earth. Add to the cost of the fish is the human misery the spending has cost, the added costs to food produced in California, the added costs to families buying California food and the jobs cost. Proud how your tax dollars are spent—against your best interests? "Vidak said the Central Valley is home to the poorest district in the state, and in the entire United States. "Yet we're doing this with salmon?" he asked incredulously. "Communities and cities in the Valley continue to be deprived of their fundamental right to water because of extreme environmentalists that promote policies that place the needs of animals and fish above those of families, farmers and agricultural workers." Vidak said the San Joaquin River Restoration Program officials are even trucking salmon around dry river areas to spawn." # # # The California Department of Water Resources announced this week that the Central Valley may only get five percent of the water it needs next year. The Central Valley, the heart of California, is the state's top agricultural producing region, often called "the nation's salad bowl" for the great array of fruits and vegetables grown in its rich soil. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, author of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, wasn't thinking about California's Central Valley when he wrote: Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. However, if the water resources department gets its way, the Central Valley may as well get used to this poem. I talked with Sen. Andy Vidak, R-Hanford, a fourth-generation farmer from the Central Valley, about this threat. Vidak represents all of Kings County and portions of Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties. "A five percent water allocation for our Valley is unconscionable; it will wipe out any hope of a thriving agriculture community and the jobs it brings," Vidak said. While Vidak said California has had two dry years, the Central Valley is suffering under the San Joaquin River Restoration Program, a federal program to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of Merced River, in order to restore Chinook salmon in the river. "Billions are being spent on dry salmon runs," Vidak said. "We're spending $2 million to $3 million per fish!" Vidak said the Central Valley is home to the poorest district in the state, and in the entire United States. "Yet we're doing this with salmon?" he asked incredulously. "Communities and cities in the Valley continue to be deprived of their fundamental right to water because of extreme environmentalists that promote policies that place the needs of animals and fish above those of families, farmers and agricultural workers." Vidak said the San Joaquin River Restoration Program officials are even trucking salmon around dry river areas to spawn.

On Friday evening, a group of Maryland residents are meeting to push secession from the overbearing, heavy taxed, heavy regulated state with strict gun control and establish Western Maryland, the Washington Times reported. The group sponsoring the town hall meeting at Allegany College is called Western Maryland: A New State Initiative. "The goal is to form a new state comprised of Maryland's five western counties," the group's website says. The counties that would make up Western Maryland are Allegany, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, and Washington counties. Those five counties make up just 11 percent of the state, the Times reported. Some residents in Colorado have already been pushing their own secession effort, as residents of some of the state's more conservative counties are troubled by the legalized marijuana, gay marriage and tight gun restrictions. While it's interesting to talk about, don't count on having 52 states anytime soon. If the counties approve secession, the state legislatures would then have to approve to let them go their own way, and even in that unlikely event, it would take an act of Congress to recognize the two new splintered states.  | | Campaign for 51st State Has Legs Northern California Posted: 22 Nov 2013 12:39 PM PST News article from FOX 40 in Sacramento, CA. SISKIYOU COUNTY- Meet Mark Baird. He has has been a Californian all his life. Living in Siskiyou County now, he says he doesn't want that life to change, but to keep it, he'll have to change everything. "We literally have to do this, or rural Californians won't survive," Baird says. Seventy-two years ago, in late November, 1941, northern California counties in concert with Southern Oregon declare themselves a new State- the State of Jefferson. They draw-up a proclamation of independence, and set-up roads blocks along Interstate 5, letting anyone who comes north know they aren't in California anymore. A week later, the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, America is cast in World War II, and plans for a separate Jefferson are abandoned – for a time. "We need to spread this at the grass roots," said a speaker at recent organizational meeting for the new State of Jefferson. The modern movement borrows its colors from that 1941 effort: A gold pan in a field of green; in the center of the gold pan, there are two X's meant to represent the people of Jefferson, double-crossed by Sacramento. "[If] everybody in the North State were to vote one way, we'd have about a million people. [Los Angeles]? The city votes one way, they have three and a half million people. So we can't even say 'this is what we need to bring back the jobs here, bring back our livelihoods,' because LA goes, 'Oh but we don't like that,' and it's done," said Kayla Brown, an organizer for the separatist effort. The meeting is in Shasta County. Jefferson supporters are holding a break-out session at a Tea Party gathering, but both Democrats and Republicans attend. Statehood supporters say they aren't of any particular political stripe. But they do have commonalities with the Tea Party- a small, motivated group bound and determined to be recognized. So are we going to see roadblocks again? "Nah," laughs Baird. "It would be fun, but it would be counterproductive. I'd love to see a bunch of guys on horseback riding down I-5, but it wouldn't do us any good." Instead, they are going county-by-county, looking for buy-in from each board of supervisors. Siskiyou County was first to approve. Modoc County was next. The separatists have their eyes fixed on thirteen counties in all- the entire northern block. They say they don't need all of them. Even if they get fewer, nine counties for instance, as long as they can draw a State border around them, they'll try to do it. But even if they get all of those counties, they will still have to come to the steps of the State Capitol in Sacramento, to ask the legislature to approve Statehood for Jefferson. It's not an idea California's current legislators are exactly attuned to. "Well, I would ask that they support me in my efforts to run for State Insurance Commissioner. And I'm trying to do my part in representing my constituents. I know that they're often getting the short end of the stick," said Ted Gaines, the state senator who currently represents the Jefferson counties. "One way to engage is running for a State Constitutional Office." But to assume the separatists are running anything but a professional, well-organized campaign themselves is to underestimate them. Take a look at the organization in action: here is how Mark Baird and Kayla Brown answer the same question. Keep in mind, these are two people separated by generations, in interviews hours apart and dozens of miles away. I asked if there was a law in particular passed in Sacramento that spurred them to dream of a new state. "For me personally it was the transgender bathroom law. That was one of the ones that made me go 'absolutely ridiculous,'" Brown said. "The child transgender law. I don't think there are 10 people in almost a million people in the State of Jefferson that agree with that piece of trash," Baird said. It may be a sign of unanimity. But it's also a sign that this organization knows what a wedge issue is, and how to deliver a talking point too. They've got more than one: Taxes and fees, State regulations on mining, logging and the environment. Where unemployment is highest, so is motivation. And Mark Baird isn't the kind of guy who strikes you as a kook living off in the woods. "I hope not. Sometime things that are hard need to be done. This literally needs to be done. This isn't a whim by a few people," Baird said. And that's why Baird says he's willing to move mountains to change the name of his mountain, and to keep what he calls home.  |  |
