Pet Care Essentials for a Happy 4th of July
Though many of us look forward to celebrating summer holidays like the 4th of July with friends and family, the festivities can be stressful for our beloved pets. If your pet is sensitive to loud notices, fireworks can be particularly distressing. Schedule a vet appointment well in advance if your pet may need a prescription for sedation. Your vet can assess your pet’s needs and provide appropriate medication or suggest alternative calming methods, such as anxiety wraps or pheromone diffusers. ...
Exploring Portland middle housing at the NW Natural Street of Dreams
Today, many Oregonians face high housing costs because the supply of diverse housing is so low. For a variety of reasons, the construction of more traditional housing types like single-family homes and apartment complexes has remained the primary form for any new housing built in the last several decades. However, given the growing housing crisis, Oregon became the first state in the nation to re-legalize another form of housing, often called “Missing Middle Housing.” ...
Oregon Democrats join 40 federal lawmakers urging rehearing on landmark youth climate case
More than three dozen Congressional Democrats, led by Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, are hoping to help revive a landmark lawsuit against the U.S. government by 21 young Americans — including 11 Oregonians — over continued federal support for fossil fuel production and a failure to urgently mitigate the worst effects of climate change, violating the plaintiffs’ right to a livable environment.

Oregonians in 2023 reported nearly 3,000 incidents of bias to a confidential state hotline, and about 20% of those incidents were related to the victim’s religion -- most targeted at Jewish people.

The city of Lake Oswego wants local residents' opinions on a proposed ballot measure that, if approved, would pave the way for Stafford Road improvements within a protected park property.

2024 BMW Z4 M40i keeps the traditional sports car spirit alive
When I was young and foolish, I owned a 1958 Triumph TR3 convertible sports car. It was beautiful, unreliable, and taught me what a sports car was supposed to be – a two-seat visceral driving experience slung low to the ground with the wind in your face, enhanced by a manual transmission that maximized your control of the engine on winding roads. Fast forward more years than I want to admit and there are not many convertible sports cars with manual transmissions anymore. The most...
