Lies, betrayal, warfare, and massacre characterized the relations between various governmental agencies and the Takelma people of Southern Oregon. These decisively detrimental years, from 1845 to 1857, ultimately led to the removal of the Takelma.
A simple, multi-variable regression was used to analyze property value impacts associated with the removal of Gold Ray Dam, on the Rogue River, in 2010. Regression results were then used to provide basic insight on what may happen to Klamath River property values near the lower four dams, after their scheduled removals in 2020.
Providing a method for public educators to access the natural resources in the Rogue Valley is used as a means of supplementing curricula and improving academic performance. The natural world is a powerful teacher for any content area, be it a third grade reading class or an eleventh grade physics class. Students who have experienced the majesty and wonder of the natural world will be grateful for its existence and be able to interpret its secrets in a whole new way.
