An internship program is giving a group of students in Grants Pass the chance to get hands-on construction experience — and to earn some money for their work.
On Wednesday, five Gladiola High School students put on their tool belts and visited Hillcrest Veterans Village, a 36-unit housing development for low-income veterans under construction on Northeast Hillcrest Drive near Interstate 5.
The Grants Pass boys earned five pins as the Cavemen remained perfect in Southwest Conference wrestling dual meets with a 55-21 win over North Medford on Wednesday in Medford.
Two of those Caveman falls came in 32 seconds or less. Zane Hill got his pin at 150 pounds in just 15 seconds and it took Emileo Dominguez-Viera (175) only 32 seconds to end his match.
Marcus Farley (165), Andrew Hamilton (215) and Carlos Dominguez-Viera (285) also won by fall for Grants Pass.
Medford will get four new pickleball courts this summer, replacing two tennis courts at Roosevelt School Park, after a unanimous vote by the Medford City Council on Wednesday night.
The courts will cost the city about $424,000 and will be installed at the 2.7-acre Roosevelt School Park, located at 1212 Queen Anne Ave.
Roosevelt School Park was established as a city park in 2024 after a joint agreement with the Medford School District.
