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 […]
In April, state Rep. 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 […]

As soon as Quentin Tarantino unleashed his masterpiece, filmmakers attempted to capture that same lightning in a bottle by making movies combining sudden violence with characters spouting pop-culture heavy dialogue over hyper-stylized imagery.

I produced an event last week called “Toke Talks,” and while I used the magic that is social media (#pleasecometomyeventorIwilldie), I also recognize that not every single person with an interest in cannabis is on Facebook or Instagram. While I’m no Luddite, some people actually get their information through analog channels—and few things are as […]

Knowing that, it explains why, when I asked about the influences for their latest EP, “HATE,” he cautiously said, “Certainly what’s going on in the world today had […]
She flies with her own wings. Could Oregon have a more fitting state motto? In 1987, then-Secretary of State Barbara Roberts introduced a bill to change Oregon’s motto from the previous Latin version, Alis Volat Propitis, to its English version, “She flies with her own wings.” Kind of a fitting move for the woman who […]
“Those bra-burning, hairy-arm-pitted women! Leaving their husbands to try and make statements! Those FEMINISTS!” 180 years. That’s how long women have (officially) been fighting for equality. Since its early European incarnation, feminism and the women’s movements have been responsible for: a women’s right to vote, work, divorce and choose. Thousands of women (and men) pounded […]
