"Students received a letter recently advising them that if the strike carries on and classes don't resume, those who are temporarily staying in the US on education visas will either have to transfer to a different college or leave the country."
"Klamath Tribes have recorded naturally hatched Chinook salmon for the first time in over a 100 years, according to Southern Oregon's Jefferson Public Radio. This is great news following the largest dam removal project in the US, which was completed in September 2024."
