Emeralds fall on slimmest of margins, drop game to Vancouver
EUGENE, OR – Baseball is a funny sport. In a three-hour spring of a game, it’s often the smallest or most seemingly-insignificant of swings that can turn the tide in one of 132 results amid a five-month sprint. Once again, it was a game of ones for the Emeralds — the same number separating the team’s wins (43) and losses (42).

The fair, which opens Wednesday, July 17, is announcing that its new “walk around” alcohol license regulations require bag checks at all entrance gates.

North Plains Leaders Already Pushing Ahead Despite Crushing Loss On Growth Vote
To all our readers, especially those in North Plains and Hillsboro. This has been one of the most divisive years in Washington County History. What we have seen happening is unprecedented. Leaders from North Plains, Hillsboro, Washington County, and the State of Oregon have pushed several very aggressive agenda items so hard that people finally woke up and became enraged. And they should be. As the leaders in North Plains openly misrepresented that they “have to grow” touching off a dividing community battle, leaders in North Hillsboro took the opposite path. Hillsboro leadership has been working on land agreements privately at Jackson School and Meek Road, where thousands of acres of pristine farmland still produce a bounty. Behind all of this is the CHIPS ACT and the Oregon CHIPS ACT. Billions of dollars are lined up, and so are all the players. Governor Kotek and Senator Janeen Sollman are licking their chops, as are many landowners looking at a 10X to 20X value increase. The pieces are all on the board, and the moves that are taking place are only partly visible. As all of this happens, Washington County is rushing through aggressive new rules aimed at allowing them to authorize roads, sewers, and other public infrastructure in sensitive habitat zones with an exemption from the typical rules. Many emails, phone calls, code reviews, and more have helped me obtain this information.
Nation’s No. 1 TE puts Oregon Ducks among top schools
Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have the 2025 recruiting class looking like it could be one of the best in program history, and the future is looking just as bright in Eugene.

Alongside Oregon is North Carolina, Tennessee, Penn State, Florida State, and Miami. At 6-foot-7, Harrison is also planning to try and play basketball at the next level, so he will likely pick a school that excels in both sports. The Ducks certainly...
