Sarah Gelser, who filed a complaint against a male colleague for sexual harassment, is one of the women and men featured in Time magazine’s person of the year: The silence breakers. Gelser said on Twitter Wednesday it’s an honor to be included. She urged Gelser women and men in every profession to speak out if they’re victims, saying there’s no shame in coming forward. Gelser, a Democrat from Corvallis, has asked for Sen. Jeff Kruse, a Republican from Roseburg, to be expelled from the Senate. She says he touched her breasts, put his hand on her thigh during a committee hearing, slipped his fingers under the hem of her skirt, and whispered so closely it left her ear and cheek wet. Kruse has denied inappropriate behavior. Oregon’s senators join call for Franken’s resignation PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon’s two Democratic senators have joined their female counterparts in other states calling for Sen. Al Franken’s resignation over sexual harassment allegations. Sen. Ron Wyden and Sen. Jeff Merkley both tweeted Wednesday that they hope Franken will step down. Wyden wrote it was the “right thing to do given this series of serious allegations” while Merkley said a resignation would be in the “best interest of our country.” A group of female Democratic senators also called upon Franken to resign Wednesday. The Minnesota Democrat’s office said he would make an announcement Thursday, but did not specify the subject. The calls came as another woman accused Franken of sexual misconduct in an account provided to Politico, which Franken denied. Family of man killed in bus accident sues CENTRAL POINT (AP) — The family of a Seattle-area man who died after being struck by a Greyhound bus in Central Point, Oregon, has sued Greyhound. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in Dallas County, Texas, alleges the bus driver was visibly exhausted when 25-year-old Hunter Brown was struck by the bus at a Pilot station. The Mail Tribune reports that the bus driver had left Brown behind after a 1 a.m. rest stop and Brown was running alongside the bus, pounding on the door, when he was knocked off balance and then run over. Greyhound did not return a call from the newspaper. The lawsuit alleges the driver had driven 9 ½ hours already that day. It also alleges he left the Pilot station earlier than he had told passengers, taking Brown by surprise. Sunriver police chief placed on administrative leave BEND (AP) — The Sunriver police chief has been placed on paid administrative leave. The Bulletin reports the Sunriver Service District Managing Board placed Police Chief Marc Mills on paid administrative leave Sunday. The board has not disclosed what led to the decision, but Board Administrator Debra Baker says an investigation is ongoing. The board appointed Mills to the position in May 2012 after it fired former police chief Michael Kennedy for being poorly suited to manage a planned expansion of public relations efforts. Bend Police will send Capt. Cory Darling to fill in as interim Sunriver police chief for a short term.

Grazing resumes on land burned by wildfires SALEM (AP) — Ranchers in Idaho and Oregon have begun grazing their cattle again on some of the thou- sands of acres burned by wildfires in 2015. The Bureau of Land Management has allowed grazing to resume on 48 of the 84 pastures on affected allotments in southwest Idaho and southeast Oregon, the Capital Press in Salem reported Tuesday. A decision on whether to resume grazing on the remaining 36 pastures is expected to come later this month, said Peter Torma, Soda Fire project manager for the bureau. The bureau closed off the 279,000 acres of scorched land for grazing for two growing seasons under a restoration plan following the fire.

Blackstock will be able use some of his grazing allotment again this winter. “It wiped out all of our feed for that year and the next year,” Blackstock said. “It’s been very expensive for our ranch, having to find all that feed.” In addition to the efforts to restore the scorched land, the bureau is planning to make it more resilient to fires by main- taining 30 miles of targeted grazing fuel breaks. The bureau plans to create a 200-foot buffer area on the sides of roads where the grass will be trimmed down, said Lance Okeson, a fuels program coordinator for the bureau. The breaks aim to help reduce the spread of fires and protect the land that has been restored. “We’re trying to develop these techniques with the operators on the landscape, without a bunch of extensive fencing,” Okeson said. “We’ve done some small- scale stuff like this, but we’re trying to take it a little farther than that.”
