Ah, moms. Once they were our favorite people, then they were, maybe, the last person we wanted to spend time with… and then for a lot of us, they were back to being our favorite people once again. In honor of Mother’s Day, we took a reader poll asking people about their moms. Do any […]

This old man is going on 80, and ever since I rolled into Oregon in ’51 on my beautiful 1947 Harley—and in later years literally soared over the sprawling sagebrush and rim rocks, sharing airspace with eagles—I’ve discovered more and more animals, plants and places and people to keep me busy helping to save. I’ve […]

Gene Whisnant (R-Sunriver) amended House Bill 2027 from its original language to, according to the current bill’s summary, prohibit “person, public body or local service district from constructing bridge on Deschutes River within certain segments of Deschutes Scenic Waterway.” The bill was approved by the Oregon House April 27 and scheduled […]
