About 2,950 Umatilla Electric customers lost power Monday evening when a metallic party balloon contacted lines at Geer Road and Theater Lane. According to UEC spokesman Steve Myers, the contact started a fire and knocked out power around north Hermiston from 6:45-7:43 p.m. Myers cautioned that releasing helium balloons into the atmosphere can cause power outages and fires. About 2,900 Umatilla Electric customers lost power Friday morning when a bird flew into power equipment at the Hermiston Butte substation. Land-use group tries to stop Oregon solar farm MEDFORD (AP) — The land-use group 1000 Friends of Oregon is trying to block a large solar farm planned for prime agricultural land outside Medford. The Mail Tribune reports the Jackson County Board of Commissioners approved the project last month by a 2-to-1 vote. 1000 Friends filed its intent to appeal with the state Land Use Board of Appeals on Friday. Neighboring landowners and other opponents say high-value farmland should not be converted to a large-scale solar farm. Commissioners said the solar farm that would include almost 40,000 panels is an economically beneficial use of the land and doesn’t permanently remove it from agricultural production. They imposed a condition that the farm be dismantled after 30 years so the land can be returned to agricultural use. Florida-based Origis Energy hopes to install panels, fencing and other parts of the solar farm in the next few months. Oregon wildfire spreads to nearly 10 square miles PORTLAND (AP) — A wildfire has scorched nearly 10 square miles of brush, tall grass and timber in sparsely populated south-central Oregon. Authorities say the fire that began Saturday near the unincorporated community of Summer Lake is threatening structures and sage grouse habitat. Officials have scheduled a meeting Tuesday night to update the community on the status of the fire. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation. High-tech firm moving main office to Medford MEDFORD (AP) — A tech employer in southern Oregon is shifting its headquarters to Medford. Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions announced it’s moving more than two dozen executive and management jobs away from Northern California. The company manufactures cleanroom particle monitors. Founder Tae Yun Kim said she was cautioned by family, friends and others about moving to Medford, because of transportation challenges and other factors. But the company determined the pros outweigh the cons. Those positives include more cost-effective labor, utilities, taxes, workers’ compensation and house prices. The Mail Tribune reports Lighthouse Worldwide opened a manufacturing site in Medford 15 years ago. The company currently employs about 75 workers at sites in Medford and Grants Pass. The company’s marketing manager, Mark VonHolle, says the average annual wage for electronic instruments in the Rogue Valley is $65,000, double the median wage in Jackson County. Woman sentenced for taking relative’s benefits PORTLAND (AP) — An Oregon woman has been sentenced for taking thousands of dollars’ worth of Social Security benefits meant for her granddaughter after the girl’s mother died. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports 53-year-old Julia Simmons will serve 30 days in a halfway house and three years of probation. She pleaded guilty to theft of government funds. Simmons was also ordered to pay back the nearly $40,000 of stolen benefits. Simmons’ granddaughter lost her mother Rhonda Casto after she fell off a cliff during a hiking trip in 2009. After Casto’s death, Simmons submitted a Social Security survivor benefits application on behalf of her granddaughter. Prosecutors say Simmons claimed the money for more than five years. Simmons has apologized and says she deeply regrets what she did.
