Harris Defense rests its case in Malheur trial The defense rested its case Monday afternoon in the trial of seven people who occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge earlier this year. The prose- cution followed with a brief rebuttal case. Earlier in the day, Fabio Minoggio — a government informant who went by the name “John Killman” at the refuge — testiied about his role in the occupation. “I was asked to oversee the shooting range,” Minoggio testiied, though he did not specify who requested he do that. He said he taught irearm safety and “proicient use of a irearm.” Minoggio said he was on the refuge from Jan. 23–26. The leaders of the occupation were arrested by Oregon State Police on Jan. 26. Minoggio also said the federal government reim- bursed him for the purchase of a ballistic vest and when his truck broke down on the way to the refuge. Beyond that, Minoggio said he was not paid. where they announced their intention to take over the refuge. Defendants had testiied that a deputy, whom they identiied as McLain, was at that meeting. McLain told the court that at the time of the meeting he was south of Burns on patrol with another deputy. Refuge manager Chad Karges testiied that no refuge employees or contrac- tors were at the refuge from the end of December until mid-February. He said after Jan. 7 all the refuge employees were removed from the Burns area. The defense had said that a U.S. Fish and Wildlife employee was present at the refuge in early January. Karges’ testimony contradicted that claim. Jury instructions begin Tuesday, followed by closing statements. Some of the alternate jurors wrote a note to Brown to see if audio of jury deliberations could be piped into another room so they could listen in. Brown said she has never had such a request, adding “I don’t believe it can be granted.” showers t-storms 0s 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s 110s high warm front stationary front low National Summary: Sun and record warmth will spread from the Deep South to the Northeast today.

The U.S. Department of Education reported Monday that Oregon’s rate was about 74 percent, a better mark than only Nevada and New Mexico. Neighboring Washington state was 10th lowest, at 78 percent. Nationwide, the high school graduation rate rose to a record-high 83 percent. President Obama announced the news at a Washington D.C. high school. Iowa and New Jersey had the nation’s best graduation rates, topping 90 percent. The Oregonian/Oregon- Live reports it’s the irst time in years that Oregon has not ranked dead-last in gradu- ating white students. Nevada claimed that distinction. Oregon’s graduation rate among white students still ranked second-worst, at 76 percent. Experts say a complicated blend of factors helps explain Oregon’s lack of success at getting students to graduate in four years. One is the state’s high rate of chronic absenteeism. An item on the November ballot, Measure 98, requires the Oregon Legislature to fund dropout-prevention strategies. MEDFORD (AP) — Plentiful rain has created ideal water conditions and allowed spawning wild chinook salmon to spread across Oregon’s Bear Creek Basin and even into back- yard creeks, biologist said. Wild chinook have moved from the Rogue River into Bear Creek early and entered tributaries that haven’t seen the ish in years, the Mail Tribune reported. Biologists said the coming storm front could even lead to the big chinook splashing in Medford’s Lazy and Larson creeks. “They’ll probably be jumping at Emigrant Dam,” said Pete Samarin, a ish biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Peak spawning isn’t until Halloween, so the city’s residents could see the large ish spawning for several weeks if the water low remains cooperative. “They’re so visible,” Samarin said. “You get two 20-pound males and 14-pound females splashing around and making a racket.” Samarin said he’d like people to contact his ofice if they see the salmon in unexpected streams. “And please leave them alone,” he added. fl y walla walla. it works!

I wasn’t enticed or anything,” he testiied of his coopera- tion with the government. The defense had identi- ied Minoggio — by way of his alias — as one of the 15 conidential informants the government said it used during the occupation. The defense has argued that whether or not those informants were all at the refuge matters because it speaks to the credibility of what the informants saw. Although U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown denied the defense’s request to release the identities of the conidential informants, the prosecution did tell the jury there were nine FBI infor- mants at refuge at various times from Jan. 4 to Jan. 26. Of the six unidentiied informants, the last one left the refuge by Jan. 23, pros- ecutors said. After the defense rested its case, prosecutors began their rebuttal case. Harney County Sheriff’s Deputy Lucas McLain testiied he was not at a Jan. 2 meeting among occupiers -10s Advertising Director: Marissa Williams 541-278-2669 • addirector@eastoregonian.com Advertising Services: Laura Jensen 541-966-0806 • ljensen@eastoregonian.com Multimedia Consultants: • Terri Briggs 541-278-2678 • tbriggs@eastoregonian.com • Amanda Jacobs 541-278-2683 • ajacobs@eastoregonian.com • Jeanne Jewett 541-564-4531 • jjewett@eastoregonian.com • Chris McClellan 541-966-0827 • cmcclellan@eastoregonian.com • Stephanie Newsom 541-278-2687 • snewsom@eastoregonian.com • Dayle Stinson 541-278-2670 • dstinson@eastoregonian.com • Audra Workman 541-564-4538 • aworkman@eastoregonian.com PENDLETON Oregon Public Broadcasting Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
