Gelser among those featured
in Time person of year
SALEM (AP) — Oregon state Sen.
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.

land after the fire increased
expenses for ranchers, said
Ted Blackstock, who was one
of the many ranchers affected
by the blaze. 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.”
