Governor suggests closure of new psychiatric hospital SALEM (AP) — Eugene- area residents are uneasy following Gov. Kate Brown’s proposal to permanently close a new, $130 million psychiatric hospital there. On Thursday, Brown suggested closing the 18-month-old Junction City hospital to help fix a large health care budget hole, reported The Register-Guard. The proposal calls for perma- nently closing the facility in mid-2018, saving the state an estimated $34.5 million a year. The hospital’s 422 jobs have provided an economic boost to the region since it opened in mid-2015 after years of funding negotiations. Its closure would require approval by state legislators and most of the proposed savings would come from wages and benefits. “I shudder to think of the impact from an employee standpoint,” said Junction City Administrator Jason Knope on Thursday. “This caught us completely off guard today. I did not have any inkling that this was coming down the pipe.” He said closing the hospital would also mean a loss of utility revenue for the city. Danna Coleman of Springfield has worked at the hospital as a mental health technician for eight months. She said she’s not worried about finding another job if the facility closes, but she’s concerned about her clients. “I have no clue what will happen to them,” she said. “Psych beds are tight every- where.” The hospital serves too many people to simply displace, so another facility would be required, according to Coleman. Brown said she favors “deinstitutionalization” of mental health care, which played into her suggestion of closing the hospital. She said she’d like to see most patients transferred to smaller community-based mental health facilities, although Oregon has chron- ically struggled to fund such institutions. “It was a very difficult decision for me to make,” Brown said. “It’s really important that the people struggling with mental health issues get the services they need.” Corrections The Dec. 2 story “Blazers visit Hermiston boy” mis- identified Tanner Gutcher’s stepfather.

He is not required to register as a sex offender. Barber uploaded four pornographic videos of himself and the woman to nine websites. The videos were taken when the two were a couple but were uploaded after they had ended their relationship. Prosecutors say Barber’s case was the first to go to trial in Washington County for unlawful dissemination of an intimate image. PORTLAND(AP) — The mother of an 11-year-old boy who died after a tree struck the car they were riding in is seeking $5 million for her physical and psychological injuries. The Oregonian reports Susan Graham filed a lawsuit Wednesday against two Portland property owners, alleging they failed to recognize that a large cedar tree on one or both properties was dead and a risk to public safety. Graham and her son, Thomas, had been heading toward Lake Oswego in December 2014 when the tree fell on their vehicle, which continued for about 50 feet before crashing into another tree. The boy died at the scene. Graham suffered serious injuries that required multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation. Visit the finest Thai Restaurant in the West.

Couple charged with trying to steal Crater Lake fees PORTLAND (AP) — A man and woman are facing federal indictment for attempting to break into a fee collection box at an entrance to Crater Lake National Park. The Oregonian reports that an indictment filed Thursday in U.S. District for kicks. They also took a real booking photo of Buckner without Bird — but the macaw still managed to photo bomb it with a few of his colorful feathers, Ray said. “It’s quite funny,” he said. “How can you resist that?” The department is proud of how it landed the Bird, even if it did take extra time on a busy day, Ray said. “We’re not all robots. We’re humans, we love animals and we want to do the right thing,” he said. “For the animal, and for Mr. Buckner too.” Court in Medford says the pair tried repeatedly to break open the container during an early morning in November. Visitors deposit a fee of $10 per vehicle in the collection container before entering the park. Court documents say the couple employed a drill, hammer, crowbar and Ford Taurus in their attempt to get into the collection box. When that didn’t work, they reportedly returned the next day with a reciprocating saw. U.S. National Park Service ranger Shane A. Rogers says the couple was caught on surveillance.
