In April, teams representing 75 Oregon schools - including seven from Central and Eastern Oregon - will compete in the "Scratch-It for Schools" event sponsored by the Oregon Lottery. Good clean fun for a worthy cause? Not according to Chuck Sheketoff, who sees it as a sleazy PR ploy.

Merkley Takes a Swing at Humor, Almost Connects
Jeff Merkley, Steve Novick's rival for the Democratic Senate nomination, has responded to Novick's funny "have a beer with Steve" ad by producing his own humorous video.
The Hook Hits Another Home Run
The EYE doesn't know the name of the copywriter who's been coming up with the TV ads for Democratic senatorial candidate Steve Novick, but she/he deserves a bonus.
Hamburgers!
Has anyone tried the restaurant at the Bend Airport? 3456 Cafe on Powell Butte Hwy.
Fabulous breakfasts with regular menu and some "game" additions. Very
good service and certainly the "extras" are from a fine dining area.
The syrup for the Belgian waffle for breakfast was heated! Ramekins of
butter and real napkins.
Help a Young Nebraskan
Dear Citizens of Oregon,
I am in the fifth grade at Northeast Elementary in Kearney, Nebraska. I
have adopted your state as a class project to research. I will be doing
a report and other projects. Then on May 3rd my class is having a
"States Fair." I will be displaying my report and any other information
or materials I receive about your state. I am hopeful that some of your
readers will be able to help me with my project. I was able to research
your city and newspaper on the Internet and I'm excited to learn more
about your state.
Age of Uncertainty
Not since the beginning of World War II has there been such a feeling
of uncertainty as there is at the present time among the general public
in this country. Most people don't say much, but within most lives is a
strong feeling that all is not well. To know what to do about it leaves
most people with a feeling of helplessness because as individuals we
can't really do much to change the course of history for this nation,
as it rests in the leadership. Leadership seems to be lacking while
power by some seems to be shooting off in hundreds of directions. We
have lived through trial and tribulation before, but this time it is
different, and I think a bit more complex.
Time for the Truth About 9/11
Some say that Americans are particularly weak in the subjects of math
and science. This is unfortunate, since these are the disciplines which
prove that 9/11 was a false-ยญflag inside job.
Other nations are now
having open discussions about the evidence which supports that 9/11 was
done by a rogue element within the United States government working in
unison with certain foreign factions.
A Danish news channel
interviewed an observer who said one only needs to be able to count to
three to figure out something is wrong with the official story of 9/11.
Two planes flew into two skyscrapers and pulverized three huge
buildings into dust and 30-foot lengths of steel.
Fairyland Lost
In the beginning there was the river and the mountains, and it was good. Then came the Indians.
Video Game Flashback: ColecoVision and the Adam computer
They just don't make video games like this anymore…thankfully.Back in the early 1980s after the Atari 2600 system was released, other
companies wanted to cash in on the video game craze and one such
company was Coleco. Considered a second-generation game system, the
ColecoVision was released at the end of 1982 with 12 arcade-quality
titles. The system was sold with a licensed version of Nintendo's
"Donkey Kong," and helped beat its main rival, the Atari 5200, which
also provided more advanced, arcade-quality games, but was ultimately
less successful than the ColecoVision. The system sold more than a
million units in its first year and more than seven million during its
lifetime.
