    Battle zucchini

    Overwhelmed with zucchini? Some of us at the Herald and News are. One of our copy editors brought in a box of giant zucchini last week and put us to the test. I turned one specimen into four loaves of zucchini bread and a casserole and still had a significant amount left. That’s not counting the zucchini that ended up in my eyebrows. Luckily, the Herald and News is here to help. Each year we print recipes from readers. If you have a tasty favorite, send it to news@heraldandnews.com.

Local man charged with DUII, kidnap, rape

A Klamath Falls man was charged with driving a car drunk in September and holding a woman against her will in his car to try and rape her.

A grand jury indicted Michael McLeod, 23, on charges of kidnapping, attempted rape, first-degree sexual abuse, hit and run and driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was arraigned on the charges Wednesday.

City police officers were investigating McLeod for a DUII Sept. 8 when they discovered he reportedly drove his car up a hill behind Oregon Institute of Technology, parked and trapped a woman in his car, according to court documents.


Officers initially arrested him on charges of kidnapping and harassment, but a grand jury found evidence supporting stiffer charges.
