Blue Envelopes can aid autistic drivers
Medford police are participating in the Blue Envelope program to assist people with autism spectrum disorder when they encounter officers during traffic stops. Autistic drivers can place a copy of their driver’s license, vehicle registration, current insurance card and list of emergency contacts in their Blue Envelope. That process helps them minimize verbal contact with an officer at a time that might be overwhelming due to the sight of a police uniform, simple on-scene questioning or other confusing activity.

'Twisters' tears through Oklahoma on the big screen. Moviegoers in the state are buying up tickets
MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Grace Evans lived through one of the most powerful and deadly twisters in Oklahoma history: a roaring top-of-the-scale terror in 2013 that plowed through homes, tore through a school and killed 24 people in the small suburb of Moore. A hospital and bowling alley were also destroyed. But not the movie theater next door — where almost a decade later, Evans and her teenage daughter this week felt no pause buying two tickets to a showing of the blockbuster “Twisters.” “I was looking for that element of excitement and I guess drama and danger,” Evans said. Her daughter also walked out a fan. “It was very realistic. I was definitely frightened,” said Charis Evans, 15.
