Good morning, Grants Pass. Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 8th of September.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • Grants Pass is covered in a smoky haze as wildfires in southern Oregon and northern California keep air quality moderate and affect people with breathing issues — health officials advise residents to stay indoors, close windows, and use air purifiers or masks to lessen exposure. This advice aims to help those at risk during ongoing smoky conditions.  The Grants Pass Tribune

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Today, drivers in Grants Pass face a road closure on NE Spalding Avenue between Shannon Lane and Ament Road as crews install new underground utility lines; the work will run on weekdays until Friday, September 26 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local officials say detours are marked — and emergency vehicles will still have access.  The Grants Pass Tribune
  • Representative Dwayne Yunker from Grants Pass criticized the Oregon House's passage of HB3991 which will add five billion dollars in new taxes and fees, and he said the bill lacks needed reforms; he will introduce legislation in the next session to tie budget growth to inflation and population increases.  The Grants Pass Tribune
  • The city has opened applications for the Community Development Block Grant Weatherization and Rehabilitation Program—helping eligible homeowners make necessary repairs focused on energy efficiency, safety and structural improvements. Homeowners living in stick-built houses may apply online or pick up a paper form at the Community Development Department until Tuesday, September 16.  The Grants Pass Tribune

HEALTH NEWS

  • New data shows that COVID-19 infections and hospital visits are rising in southern Oregon with Jackson and Josephine counties reporting more cases and local health officials advising Grants Pass residents to maintain habits like handwashing and getting updated vaccines—steps that protect people as the fall season starts.  The Grants Pass Tribune

LIFESTYLE NEWS

  • On Sunday, September 7, Grants Pass residents enjoyed a fun day with a gun show at the county fairgrounds, a float on the Rogue River, golf, and drives through the hills — a mix that let them enjoy summer’s end — while many ate at Cartwright’s Taprock Grill. Local places such as River’s Edge — known for its pretty sunset views — welcomed diners as the town prepared for fall.  The Grants Pass Tribune
  • Residents from Grants Pass can start a staycation road trip that visits ten casinos across Oregon—beginning at Seven Feathers in Canyonville and ending at the new Ko-Kwel in Medford. The route crosses coastal views, mountain passes, and desert nights—many stops offer hotels so travelers can rest and enjoy gaming.  The Grants Pass Tribune
