Series of storms slamming western Oregon; big tree hits house
PORTLAND (AP) —
Debrah Neisewander of Ash-
land said she had worried
about a Ponderosa pine in
her front yard for some time
and had even recently had a
dream about it falling.
About 3 a.m. Friday, she
awoke. It was no dream this
time. The giant tree had fallen
on her house, and plaster was
raining on her bed.
“The house shook a little
bit,” she told the Medford
Mail Tribune. “It happened
real quick. It came right
through my bedroom.”

Neisewander spent Friday

her front door, only to give up
and use the rear door instead.
Two vehicles and utility lines
also were damaged.

Free workshops on contracting
with public land agencies
PENDLETON — The Oregon
Government Contract Assistance Program

Every year, public land agencies spend
millions of dollars purchasing goods and
services from the private sector. GCAP
workshops will focus on who these agencies
are, what they do and how they work with
small businesses.

April 13 at 72510 Coyote Road in
Pendleton. Additional sessions will be held
April 14-17 in Baker City, Vale, Burns and

the Jackson County road de-
partment.
More storms this weekend
are expected through the be-
ginning of next week.
Some of the biggest prob-
lems Friday were in Jose-
phine County, where high
water closed lanes of High-
way 199 at a low point east of
Cave Junction, said spokes-
man Gary Leaming of the
state Department of Trans-

problems near the Green-

and near Applegate, he said.
“We’re chasing them, and
we expect to be doing that all
weekend,” Leaming said.
