The Jefferson Exchange now offers program information and audio files from every hour of the Exchange in one place... on our Facebook page.  You'll also find pictures of the Exchange staff and some of our guests, and if you're a Facebook member, you can place your own comments on the page.  Facebook membership is NOT necessary just to view the page and hear the audio.  PLUS you can find our Facebook entries on Twitter now, as well.

The relatively new Oregon Health Authority takes to the road this month, to tell Oregonians about some of the options they'll have under health care reform, through both the state and federal government.  With one meeting already under their belts, we'll talk to the people at OHA about the information they're disseminating, and the early reaction to it.

In the wake of last week's Oak Knoll Fire, which claimed 11 Ashland homes, fire officials are asking area residents: are you prepared?  To prepare residents vulnerable to wildfires, the Oregon Department of Forestry is hosting a Wildfire Preparedness workshop for residents of the Greensprings area.  ODF fire prevention specialist Brian Ballou will explain some of the prevention measures which will be covered at the workshop. 

Hot, windy days in the region generate fears of fires.  Those fears were fully realized when the Oak Knoll fire roared across Interstate Five and burned down 11 houses in Ashland.  We'll talk about ways the public can help the fire victims, with members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) in Ashland, and with the Southern Oregon Chapter of the American Red Cross.
