Missing Medford man — Authorities believe a body found along a remote Jackson County road is that of a man missing since December. Medford police say they don’t suspect foul play. They believe that 87-year-old Truman Tollefson got lost and then got stuck in a dead-end roadway, left his car and died nearby. The Medford Mail Tribune reports that a man cutting firewood found the body Sunday. The county medical examiner’s office is working on a positive identification.

Caretaker fraud, theft — Federal prosecutors say a Cottage Grove woman has pleaded guilty to accusations she secretly buried a man she had been caring for and then stole his Social Security benefits for at least 15 years. The government says 47-year-old Carel June Cody took more than $200,000. She was a caretaker for John Arnold, an elderly man who died sometime between 1994 and 1996. She has not been charged in his death. Cody pleaded guilty Monday to fraud, theft and identity theft. The U.S. attorney’s office says she faces a term of 21 to 27 months in addition to a mandatory sentence of 24 months for aggravated identity theft. Sentencing is scheduled in July.

Portland fluoride vote — Portland residents are voting whether to add fluoride to the drinking water to help prevent tooth decay, but one-third of the water bureau’s 900,000 customers live outside the city and don’t have a say in the decision. Gresham, Tigard and Tualatin are among 19 cities that buy water from the Bull Run Reservoir, and their contract with the Portland Water Bureau says it can change the water without asking them. One Gresham resident, Elaine Rodgers, told KATU it’s not fair. Portland is the largest U.S. city without fluoridated water. The city council voted to add it, but opponents rallied to put it on the May 21 ballot. The opponents say it violates a person’s right to consent to medication.

Cold water warning — The National Weather Service is warning people to think twice before cooling of in the rivers and streams of Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington. Meteorologists said that unusually high temperatures are accelerating snowmelt, increasing river flows and lowering water temperatures to the 40s and 50s. The weather service says the combination of swift currents and low water temperatures could make it difficult and dangerous to swim. Unseasonably warm weather is expected to continue through Sunday with temperatures peaking in the upper 80s in some areas.

The sheriff’s office says the preliminary investigation indicates the grandfather was not impaired by drugs or alcohol.

Portland rail disruption — A power outage disrupted Portland’s light-rail service for about three hours Monday morning. KGW-TV reported that MAX trains ran throughout most of the suburbs but were unable to complete the trip into the downtown. Service was restored about 9 a.m., but shuttle buses were still required between Old Town and the Rose Quarter across the Steel Bridge.
