HIGHWAY 22: Crash caused fuel spill and fire Continued from page 3 58-year-old Ronald Edward Scurlock from Redmond. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Fuel spilled from the tanker seeped into the soil along the Santiam River, though testing showed no gasoline in the river itself.

HOWELLS REALTY GROUP Phil Arends 541-420-9997 Grand jury rules Klamath Falls shooting justified KLAMATH FALLS (AP) — A grand jury has cleared a Klamath Falls police offi- cer in a fatal shooting last month. The Herald and News reports the Klamath County jury examined video foot- age of the Nov. 24 shoot- i n g i n w h i c h O ff i c e r Taylor Herbst shot Emilio Hernandez, who was wanted on suspicion of attempted murder. Eyewitnesses said that Hernandez ignored orders to surrender and struggled with Herbst on the ground. When Hernandez got up and fled, the officer opened fire. Relatives of Hernandez said the officer was wrong to shoot a fleeing subject, but the grand jury decided Herbst’s actions were within the law. Klamath Falls Police Chief Dave Henslee said he was pleased with the find- ing. He said the depart- ment will respond to con- cerns from a family whose home was struck by bullets, and the city will pay for repairs. we’ll update our master facil- ities plan, continue due dili- gence, conduct a school-wide “Mission and Vision” exer- cise with an outside facili- tator and solicit additional community input as we con- tinue to strive to keep Sisters School District the best in Central Oregon. Watch for information regarding a community open house in the New Year. Sisters schools are among the best in the state for many reasons — our teachers, par- ents, classified staff, admin- istrators, volunteers, commu- nity members and students are the real drivers of our success. It does take a village. I wish you all a happy (and restful) holiday break and look forward to a great 2018. Curtiss J.
