Gunman Threatens Sizzler Customers

Posted: 30 Nov 2013 07:50 AM PST

11-30sizzler mugGrants Pass, Ore. - A man is in jail after threatening customers with a gun at local restaurants.

According to the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety, officers were dispatched to a report of a  man with a gun at the Sizzler on the 1800 block of 7th street on around 4 o’clock, on Friday, November 29th. It was reported by several witnesses that the man, identified later as Michael Henry Goodwin, was walking around Burger King and Sizzler pulling a handgun from his coat pocket and waving it around. One caller stayed on the line with 911 and provided updates of Goodwin’s location. The first officer on scene kept his distance but maintained a visual of Goodwin until other officers arrived. The officer reported he too witnessed Goodwin brandish the handgun and point it at the patrons inside of Sizzler. Sizzler was called and advised to lock all their doors until the situation could be resolved.

Other officers arrived on scene and took Goodwin into custody without incident near the entrance of Super 8 Motel. Goodwin in fact had a stolen, loaded handgun in his possession. The handgun was reported stolen in a burglary to the Josephine County Sheriff's Office this year.

Once Goodwin was in custody, an officer went to Sizzler's and advised them the situation had been resolved. Several more witnesses and victims came forward and were interviewed regarding Goodwin’s actions. Goodwin was subsequently lodged on several charges including Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Menacing and other charges.

Protest Sign Interrupts Holiday Festival

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:19 PM PST

ASHLAND, Ore. – Tonight’s Festival of Light was briefly interrupted by a protest sign blasting holiday consumerism, just as Santa was addressing the crowd.

The sign was unfurled from the roof of Alex’s, just as Santa was making his appearance on the balcony. Many who saw it say it wasn’t visible until the switch was flipped and the lights turned on.

Once it appeared, it got a reaction from the crowd before it was quickly taken down.

But many, including the owner of Alex's, still don’t know how it got up there.

"There’s other places and other buildings that are connected where somebody could get up on the roof and do something," said Alex's owner Charles Tobey. "But it’s nothing we had anything to do with or support."

Ashland police say two people were seen displaying the sign, but they were able to escape on foot and slip away into the crowd.

They say the sign itself isn’t illegal. The two responsible could be charged with trespassing, but police say that would amount to a slap on the wrist and it isn't worthwhile to investigate.

Ducks Win Wild Civil War

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:16 PM PST

1129civilwarEUGENE, Ore. — Marcus Mariota capped off a nine play, 83 yard drive with a 12 yard touchdown pass to Josh Huff with 29 seconds left as the Oregon Ducks came back to beat Oregon State 36-35 in Friday’s Civil War. It was the end of a wild second half that saw the lead change hands six different times.

The Ducks jumped out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter, thanks to touchdowns from De’Anthony Thomas and Thomas Tyner. The Beavers responded with a big second quarter to send the game to halftime tied at 17.

Oregon State struck first in the third quarter with a Tervor Romaine field goal, and the teams continued to trade scores for most of the half. The Beavers took a 35-30 lead with 1:38 in the fourth on Victor Bolden’s 25 yard touchdown run.

Senior Josh Huff led the way for the Ducks with 186 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Terron Ward led the Beavers rushing attack that nearly tripled its per-game average, with 231 yards against the Ducks.

Oregon improves to 10-2 with the win, while the Beavers drop to 6-6. It’s the sixth straight Civil War win for the Ducks.

Locals Petition to Save Shop Smart

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:06 PM PST

11-29 jbo shop smartYREKA, Ore. — One signature at a time, demonstrators in Yreka are raising awareness for their local Shop Smart. The downtown store is set to close December 30th after its parent company, C&K Market, declared chapter 11 bankruptcy.

If that happens, it will leave about 35 employees out work.

"That’s going to cut our income in half, almost," said Jack Larcade, whose girlfriend works at the store. "And we’re already struggling."

Larcade's and his girlfriend have two children. The closing of the store will have both of them looking for work, along with all of the other employees leaving the store.

"You’re going to have all these people competing for jobs… there’s not enough jobs here to cover everyone that works here," said Larcade.

This isn’t the first time a store shut its doors in Yreka. A Ray’s market closed over the summer, leaving many looking for work and crippling nearby businesses.

Demonstrators trying to collect signatures say the odds are stacked against them, but they’ll take them anyway.

"I just thought if nobody’s doing anything, why shouldn’t I?" said petition organizer Carol Mattos.

The 376 signatures that have been collected so far will be brought to C&K corporate in an attempt to change management’s mind.

Whether it’s C&K someone else running the show, shoppers and employees just want a store to stick around.

"That would be great to keep the employees with a job and to keep this community with a place in the center of town to stay open," said Mattos.

While Larcade and his girlfriend say they aren't relying on this petition, they also don't see why it can't work.

"I don’t think there’s a reason it can’t be saved," said Larcade. "This is the middle of town, everybody comes here… We can’t lose these kind of things."

Arctic Blast Arrives Next Week

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 06:36 PM PST

video preview image

WEATHER DISCUSSION

A weak disturbance will move through tonight and another one tomorrow bringing increased clouds at times across the region and a slight chance for light showers in the Coast Range. Fog will also continue for west side valley locations and the coast, with some areas of the Umpqua, Illinois, and Rogue Valleys only see a break in the fog late in the day before fog returns overnight tomorrow.

The timing of the first arctic front arriving this weekend looks to bring the first round of showers overnight Sunday to the coast spreading inland during the day on Monday. The heaviest precipitation will fall through the day Monday, mainly in the afternoon and evening for inland areas. Snow levels on Sunday will be above pass level, dropping to impact the higher Cascade passes (Diamond Lake, Lake of the Woods) overnight Sunday through the day Monday and the lower passes (Sexton and Siskiyou Summits) by Monday night. Snow levels will drop to the valley floor by Tuesday morning and while light precipitation will fall with this second front, it will bring the first valley snow of the season.

While this event is still several days away and thus timing and snow totals will continue to be tweaked into next week, the Cascade passes could receive 2 to 4 inches of snow by Tuesday, a foot in the Cascades and up to an inch on the valley floor. After the rain and snow end a very cold arctic airmass will settle bringing brutally cold temperatures especially to the mountains and east side. Be sure to protect pipes, pets and livestock as we head into a “taste of Winter” next week.

Stay tuned to Newswatch12 as we approach next week and better nail down timing and snow totals. Thanks for logging on and have a great weekend!

Black Friday Competes with Civil War

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 05:05 PM PST

civil war webMEDFORD, Ore. – A combination of Black Friday shopping and a big-time football game left some local sports bars wondering what the outcome would be for their bottom line.

The annual Civil War football game between the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers is typically one of the most popular and profitable days for local sports bars and restaurants. But some managers said they worried potential customers could be distracted by their shopping on Friday.

Most sports bars were taking a wait-and-see approach Friday afternoon before the game, not knowing if they would need to call in extra staff. Some managers hoped the Black Friday shopping would actually bring in more customers wanting to get off their feet. But others worried that a morning full of shopping could make potential customers just want to go home.

One restaurant not open to the public yet for the Civil War is the new Buffalo Wild Wings, located by Sportsman's Warehouse on Delta Waters Road. The restaurant is currently training its staff, and will be officially open on Sunday.

No Clues Yet in Medford House Fire

Posted: 29 Nov 2013 05:03 PM PST

fire web fridayMEDFORD, Ore – Fire investigators continued looking into what sparked a large fire in a Medford home Thursday night.

The fire destroyed the garage and damaged part of the house on Mallard Lane shortly before midnight on Thursday. The family was able to escape safely as crews battled those flames.

Friday morning, the family went through the damaged house, trying to salvage whatever they could. Friends and neighbors helped them carry out clothing, boxes, and bags full of items. Homeowner Michael McFarland did not want to speak on camera, but said he is thankful that his family is safe.

Crews from Medford Fire came back to the house Friday, and said they will be looking into how the fire started. They said it appeared that part of the fire burned from the outside of the house and into the attic, but said they have not found an exact point of origin.

Family of Four Escape House Fire

A midnight fire sends a family running out of their Medford home.

Everyone is safe but a family, the day after Thanksgiving, will be unable to stay in their burned home.

Much of the roof on the Medford home in the 3800-block of Mallard Lane, is scorched and fallen in.

"We heard two pops on the outside of the house, just bam bam, right in a row," said the homeowner who did not want to speak on camera.

The fire broke out just before midnight on Thanksgiving.

"I went out around the back of the house and the whole side of the house was in flames, engulfed in flames from up the side down to the fence. The whole thing," recalled the homeowner.

He immediately jumped into action, getting his wife and two kids out of his burning home.

Fire fighters said nearby houses were also evacuated.

Next-door neighbor, Rick Hobson's home, sustained damaged as well. He received a stressful phone call last night when he was out of town.

"They told me that my house had some damage, but the neighbor's house was in total ruins," said Hobson.

When he arrived back home this morning, he surveyed the damage.

"Need to have insurance called," he began.

"I see that the windows have been broken out," observed Hobson.

Meanwhile, another neighbor living behind the burned home is dealing with her own mess. She said one of the water canons used to put out the fire, sent water pouring into her home. Now she's cleaning up her soaked carpet and the glass from her shattered back window.

Back at the home that went up in flames, a family is trying to salvage what they can.

"At least half of their house is destroyed," said Erin Sawall, Battalion Chief for Medford Fire and Rescue.

The homeowner speculates the cause may have been electrical, however investigators are still working to find the cause.   

Fortunately, the homeowner says his family does have a place to stay.

Small Business Saturday

Lyle Ahrens

While 'big box' stores have been the focus of 'Black Friday' shoppers, some of the shopping emphasis will shift to Main Street tomorrow...

Heather Coaty of Blue Dot Kids says "Small Business Saturday' has helped boost sales...

"We have noticed more people come in, they're taking advantage of our sales, that we always do for a Small Business Saturday."

Susan Beach of Beach's Jewelers appreciates the effort at keeping dollars local...

"Oh, yeah - we see folks coming through, and they're really nice folks that try to help out the small businesses that are trying to stay in business just for them."

Small Business Saturday is a concept started by American Express back in 2010, and the idea has struck a chord with business owners and shoppers.

Small businesses can offer several advantages...you just might find that unusual gift for the person who has everything at the Spring Street Antique Warehouse...

"Oh, yeah - we do that a lot."  Notes Antique Warehouse owner Leroy Tillery.  "People come in and look around, and oftentimes they find it here."

"And I think there's better deals."  Says shopper Laura Jaskiewicz.  "Especially here at Blue Dot Kids.  I can get more for my money, which is really important to me right now.  I'm in grad school and the finances are tight - but I still want my kid to look cute."

While Small Business Saturday may have corporate roots, the Mom and Pop businesses are happy to reap the benefits.

A survey by the National Federation of Independent Business claims 2 out of every 3 shoppers have heard of Small Business Saturday...and 47% of those surveyed intend to do at least some of their holiday shopping at a small business.

Black Friday not what shoppers bargained for

Black Friday turns dark as Twitter and Youtube follow fights and even shootouts.

We spoke with local shoppers to find out if this year's Black Friday was worth it.

A frenzy. Check out this fight that sparks at an out of state Walmart. ending in an arrest. This year, people got more than they bargained for. From fights to shootouts, and cops getting dragged by fleeing shoplifter's cars. "We had lines out the door," says Rogue Valley Mall Starbucks employee Maxwell Court.

Here locally no reports of violence, but those we spoke with say it didn't go as expected. shopper Vicki Allen, who we caught up with in Fred Meyer, says Black Friday was simply... a bust.  "This has been the busiest store we've been in, all of them have been dead," said Allen.

Once more, Black Friday ate into Thanksgiving dinner. More stores opened earlier than ever before, Michaels kicking things off at 4 pm. The early start a topic of heated debate: over 1 million people shared this Facebook protest.

"Everything seems to be regular price," shares Allen.

Plus, according to retail analysts with Nerdwallet.com many Black Friday sales mirror sales featured earlier in the year. 

"I thought we were going out for the sales," says Allen, "and they didn't even have them. So we left our family for them and they didn't have them."

Official revenue totals won't be out until after the weekend. Only then will we know if the newest Black Friday tactics put companies in the black.

This year, the United States Labor Department issued crowd management safety guidelines to help curb violence associated with Black Friday.
