A Metolius wolf trots past a trail camera on May, 31 2022 on USFS lands in Jefferson County. (Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife / Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife) The Center for Biological Diversity and the Wolf Welcome Committee offered a combined reward of $10,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the killing of a federally protected wolf near Sisters, Oregon. The wolf killed was the breeding male of the Metolius pack. The killing was announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service late Wednesday. The agency is offering its own reward pledge of $10,000. In addition, the Oregon Wildlife Coalition has a standing reward offer of $10,000 for any wolf illegally killed in Oregon. which brings the total reward to $30,500. Joining the Exchange is Amaroq Weiss , the Senior Wolf Advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. Also joining the conversation is Wendy von Kalinowski , an Educational Coordinator with the Wolf Welcome Committee. “Any illegal killing of these magnificent animals is tragic but the poaching of the Metolius pack’s breeding male may have consigned the pack’s pups to death by starvation or the pack to dissolve,” said Amaroq Weiss, senior wolf advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. “These beautiful animals don’t deserve to die this way, and whoever killed this wolf should face the full force of the law.” The mated pair of the Metolius pack was first discovered in 2021 in the Metolius Wildlife Unit of Jefferson and Deschutes counties. After the pair had four pups in 2024 , this wolf family was designated as an official pack,.…

Pet owner in the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon. (Rogue Valley Street Dogs) In a society of rugged individualism , people often find themselves needing assistance from others, like neighbors, local community organizations, and even state and federal programs that provide temporary assistance. For pets of low-income residents, and stray animals that wander the streets, collective support of the village/community is also needed. Joining the Exchange are two guests: Laurie Cuddy is president of Rogue Valley Street Dogs ; and Amanda Linnehan is president and executive director of Rogue Community Cat Rescue. Efforts to spay and neuter are not always affordable options for low-income residents. And without such procedures, pets and stray animals (that have no designated owner), often reproduce and increase the population of vulnerable animals in a community, which can pose a variety of problems and health risks. Controlling the population of pets and stray animals takes a village/community to cooperate and collaborate.…

( Courtesy image) Elaine Weiss is author of " Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement ." She joins the exchange to shed light on a relatively obscure role that a mountaintop folk school played in launching hundreds of community training grounds that fueled the1950s and 60s era of the civil rights struggle by Black Americans. Inspired by the Highlander Folk School on a mountain in Tennessee, the first Citizenship School was established by the Gullah people on the islands off South Carolina. And from that modest beginning, many hundreds of Citizenship Schools were created across 11 southern states to inform, equip and empower Black Americans to learn and courageously exercise their civil rights in the face of extraordinary hostility and violence from the law, media, education institutions, business leaders and vigilantes. Despite systemic racism ingrained in segregationist laws, systems, public policies and private sector practices, Black Americans together with their White allies rose up and faced the violence. Many, too many, paid with their lives. And that struggle, which lasted throughout the 20th century, was passed down to the present day generations in the 21st century. Elaine Weiss provides a factual account in a behind-the-scenes comprehensive tale of largely unknown characters who influenced the names that loom large, like Rosa Parks , Dr. Martin Luther King Jr , John Lewis , Diane Nash , Ella Baker and many others. The Civil Rights anthem, "We Shall Overcome" has its origin in the Highlander Folk School, which was amplified through the hundreds of citizenship schools and events throughout the movement. This book is a must-read for every generation.…
