Central Oregonians can find a roundup of live music happening on St. Patrick’s Day by heading to this week’s Culture section – but for those who are in it just for the beer and food, then The Ale Apothecary might be your jam. On St. Patrick’s Day, from 4 to 7pm, Robert Hipp and Austin […]
An Oregon bill expanding access to the opioid overdose-reversing drug naloxone passed the Oregon House on March 6 and is awaiting approval by the Oregon Senate. HB 2385 allows public buildings to keep naloxone kits; currently, individuals can carry naloxone but organizations have to have a medical professional on staff to keep and administer a […]
Greater sage-grouse are iconic birds of the sagebrush landscape. Their entire life history centers around this habitat type, from nesting sites to food sources, making them a key species across 11 western states and two Canadian provinces.

This past week the public has had a window into the difficulties and details that go into approving a managed camp for unhoused individuals in Central Oregon.

My server informed me she was unable to provide a taster of this beer because it was specialized. I started to have questions about tasters. […]
