Linn County

So guys, let's get back to the stories.

Now, this one, I saw someone mention it in the chat a little bit ago, but this one comes from Linn County, Oregon, the Linn County Window Dogman.

In March of 2017, a woman living with her husband in a manufactured home community, community in Linn County reported an encounter outside her bedroom window.

The community bordered, uh, trees, canals, and open fields and woods.

Now, she'd lived there for approximately nine years, and according to her account, she had never seen anything large pass that bedroom window during the night.

It had pointed ears, a long canine muzzle, a tongue that hung out from its mouth, and according to her measurement, was close to eight feet tall.

But one thing she, she did say, and we could possibly believe, is that when this thing left, it walked completely out of sight.

And that is the Linn County Window Dogman.

and I would like it to continue to be that way, but I understand that there are a lot of concerns.

I've listened to both the Linn County and Lane County clerks talk about all the boring checks and balances and secure levels that there are to vote by mail, but I encourage anyone who has concerns to learn more about the system, and if they have other things that they want to discuss, to reach out to the clerks in their county as well, and...

You know, move forward with that.

That's what government should be.

You're seeing a lot of conservative and biblical families taking their children out of schools, given the amount of politics they feel is present in the school.

And I think we need to take a hard look at that and realize that we need to get back to the basics of education because even though you might think I'm trying to insert a political argument in there, I'm not.

It really is intended to be an objective one because if we are losing 1,600 students like the Linn County School District just did, that's over $2.5 million in federal funding that literally walked out the door.

So when we wonder why schools are failing, let's look at how many people are leaving.

But that should go.

I mean, based on past ones, I mean, you're Linn County is pretty, pretty Republican.

I think we're safe.

It's

Yeah, 50 cents.

And it is the Linn County, so Linn County is a county here in Oregon, the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair, and it's from May 26th through the 27th of 1967.

That's crazy.

This fun little button.

On Friday, July 23rd, 2021, at around 1145 in the morning, a 33-year-old Salem, Oregon resident named Steven Van Pelt was descending Mount Jefferson when he suddenly fell off the mountain and disappeared from the view of his climbing partner.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office received the initial report and responded along with Linn County deputies and the Linn County Search and Rescue Team.

Officials reported that this particular area of the mountain where Stephen had his fall is extremely dangerous and would require technical mountaineers to travel the mountainside in their search efforts.

Initially, it was reported that Stephen hadn't been found right away because of terrain which included snow and large boulders.

From what Stephen's climbing partner later said, we knew his end was immediate.

Kaitlyn also stated how her husband loved the outdoors and how Mendocino County was the perfect place for an outdoorsman like Stephen.

Before the search was officially called off, Linn County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Brandon Fountain explained that the conditions of the terrain was becoming a hazard to all the searchers.

Lieutenant Fountain continued that there is a specific drainage on Mount Jefferson where searchers believe he may have come to rest.

Yeah, I don't get it.

I don't do too many, except for your sheriff in Linn County.

I haven't done too many sheriff's race.

I've done some ones, like Les Stiles in Ben was the last.

So probably since then, it's been a mess for 12 years.

Yeah, that's probably about right.

But Linn County, you guys have...

I mean, heck, I think like 60-year-old sheriffs are still alive.
