ALBANY, Ore. - At the Linn County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Tim Mueller says employees are like a family.

Mueller said it's the first time the sheriff's office in Linn County, Ore., has had to lay anyone off since the 1980s.

"We've made a lot of cuts in the last four years, but we've been able to hold the line in Linn County because of our law enforcement levy."

But that levy is slowly being compressed because of declining property values, meaning there's just not enough money to go around.

"Unfortunately, there's no one riding to our rescue with a saddle bag full of money," he said.

They're cutting 22 positions, including 11 control room operators, one nurse and four

For the first time in over 60 years, juvenile spring Chinook salmon are swimming through newly created side channels of the Willamette River at Delta Ponds and Heron Slough.

Consultants...more hired to monitor the fish have captured and released more than 50 salmon since January, the City of Eugene said.

A grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Restoration Center allowed the City to hire a consultant to monitor the fish in Delta Ponds and Heron Slough.

Slow-moving, side-channels such as those recently restored at Delta Ponds and Heron Slough provide areas of calm water during high winter flows, the City said.

In the 2.2 mile side channel at Delta Ponds and the quarter-mile channel across the river at Heron Slough, juvenile salmon are able rest, feed and grow larger before continuing on to the ocean.

The City designed both
