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.

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.

On Monday evening, 5-star tight end Kendre Harrison, the No. 1 TE in the 2026 class, announced his top six schools, putting the Ducks in the mix. Alongside Oregon is North Carolina, Tennessee, Penn State, Florida State, and Miami.

Holden LeCroy: High pressure to the east of us will keep temperatures hot, but with the help of a subtle low pressure feature offshore- thunderstorm chances drift north into Douglas, Lane Counties Tuesday afternoon. This feature will also bring a pretty strong marine layer Tuesday morning for the coast with low clouds and mist at times throughout the day. Inland though, mainly dry but thunderstorms will increase in the afternoon, best of which being along the Cascades and into the eastern foothills. Combination of clouds and weak low pressure offshore will lead to much cooler temperatures for Wednesday and Thursday, but DO NOT get used to it. Heat will build right back in for Friday and Saturday. Week of July 22 appears to be trending much cooler as well. Stay tuned.
