Driver of 1969
Corvette dies in
rollover
CHILOQUIN (AP)
— Oregon State Police
say a man died when he
lost control of his 1969
Chevrolet Corvette while
trying to pass slower traf¿c
on Highway 97 north of
Chiloquin in Klamath
County.
Lt. Bill Fugate says the
car rolled multiple times,
ejecting the driver —
64-year-old Robert Johnson
of Bend. He died at the
scene late Sunday afternoon.
Johnson was alone in the
car, and no other vehicles
got caught up in the crash.
The investigation remains
active, but police say speed
was a contributing factor.
Highway 97 was closed
for 30 minutes and reduced
to one lane for several hours.

choked police dog
SALEM (AP) — Author-
ities in Salem say a man was
arrested for choking a police
dog nearly to the point of
unconsciousness.
Salem Police Sgt.
Tony Moore says the man
was treated for dog bites
Saturday, and the dog
was taken to a veterinary
hospital.
The incident began when
of¿cers responded to reports
of a man acting strange and
going up to houses. Of¿cers
arrived and learned the man
had an arrest warrant.
Moore tells the Statesman
Journal that the man Àed
and was chased by a police
dog. The man fought the dog
until three of¿cers were able
to subdue him.
Of¿cer Debbie Aguilar
says the dog, Duke, received
no major injuries.

MEDFORD (AP) — A
Medford man has been
arrested after he accidentally
shot himself in the hand
while trying to show his
revolver to a convenience
store clerk.
The Mail Tribune reports

concealed handgun without
a permit and two counts of
endangerment.
Police say the man was
carrying his loaded revolver
in the same pocket as his
wallet. When he went

Saturday evening, he had
to pull out the gun in order
to pay. Police say the clerk
commented on how nice

— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
ALBANY (AP) — The
city of Albany says its
contractors accidentally
last week sent about 3,000
gallons of raw sewage
into the Willamette River
downstream of Bowman
Park.
The city announced the
spill on Friday. It happened
Wednesday as workers
were cleaning and doing
maintenance on the sewer
system in the area.
The Democrat Herald
reports that workers
dislodged plugs in old sewer
lines that drain into the river,
releasing sewage for about
two to three hours.
City wastewater
superintendent Kristin
Preston says crews
immediately plugged the
old lines to prevent more
sewage from spilling. Signs
have been posted to warn the
public of potential hazards
of coming in contact with
the water.
The city says bacteria that
may have entered the river
should be Àushed out of the
area within a few days.

Reports of Oregon elder abuse rise as population ages
SALEM (AP) — Oregon
is seeing an increase in
reports of abuse of the
elderly as the population of
older Oregonians continues
to grow and people get
better about reporting.
A state report issued last
week found a 10-percent
increase in the number of
investigations conducted
into the abuse and
mistreatment of vulner-
able people. That includes
older adults and people
with disabilities.
Some of the increase
is due to more reporting,
researcher -oe Merri¿eld
of the Oregon Of¿ce of
Adult Abuse Prevention
and Investigations told the
Statesman Journal.
In 2014, more than
38,000 cases of possible
abuse were reported, up
from 35,000 in 2013.
In both years, the most
common type of abuses
were ¿nancial e[ploitation
and neglect. The number of
cases that were investigated
rose 10 percent to 18,185.
Many of the abuse
reports come from people
such as bankers and
¿nancial service workers
who are not required by
law to report suspected
abuse.
Census data shows that
since 2010, more than 50,000
Oregon residents have turned
5 annually, Merri¿eld said.
The annual growth of aging
baby boomers is e[pected to
continue for another decade,
adding nearly 300,000 older
adults to the state’s population.
“Obviously, not everyone
over 65 is vulnerable,” Merri-
¿eld said. “Many are living
longer, healthier lives, but it’s
likely we’ll continue to see
an increase in the number of
cases reported as well as the
number of cases investigated
and the number of vulnerable
adults abused as a result.”
Rebecca Fetters, the
quality assurance and preven-
tion coordinator at OAAPI,
said ¿nancial e[ploitation
tends to be more common
in the community, where
vulnerable adults might be
isolated in their homes and
not have family or other social
support systems nearby.
