Lake Oswego's Katy Steding continues to find her purpose coaching Stanford women's basketball
Stanford assistant coach Katy Steding keeps it simple when she thinks about why she’s still coaching basketball after 23 years on the sidelines (and plenty more years on the court playing).

Luckily, Steding hasn’t too many subpar pizzas after growing up in Lake Oswego, winning a national championship with Stanford, winning a gold...

Oswego Grange 175, organized by Adam R. Shipley in 1874 as a grassroots effort to help farmers protect their economic interests, also served as a means for folks to participate in social, civic, religious and business activities.

Sponsor, supporters vow to pursue measure aimed at school book bans
The chief sponsor of a measure to curb book bans in Oregon schools — a measure that was one roll-call vote away from final approval in the 2024 Legislature — says he will try again when lawmakers meet in 2025. But Sen. Lew Frederick, a Democrat from Portland, also says he does not want the measure to be a focal point in the 2024 campaign.

Lake Grove Dental: Detectives for your mouth!
What used to be a common question, “Why do I always have cavities?” isn’t as common as it used to be. Newer understanding of what contributes to dental decay and preventive measures have made a huge change in the oral health of our patients. Contributing factors to decay are usually poor home care and infrequent professional dental cleanings, dry mouth, certain bacteria and/or a high acid diet. About every three months, biofilm, a sticky cluster of microorganisms, sticks to our teeth. Brushing and flossing slow...
Beware of Easter Lilies for Your Cats
With Easter just around the corner, many homes will be decorated with flowers to celebrate the holiday and the coming of spring. However, it’s important to be cautious when it comes to what types of flowers you choose to display, especially if you have cats in your home, as many can be toxic.

‘Spider-Man’ makes a swing overseas
Let this be said right up front: Do not stop watching “Spider-Man: Far From Home” before the end credits are over.

OPINION: Democracy at stake in November
Democracy at stake in November We have some serious thinking to do as we approach the November elections. Democrats have been delivering on better-paying jobs, infrastructure and tax fairness while Republicans and Donald Trump have only grown more chaotic, extreme and even frightening! They’re promoting a monstrous idea they call “Project 2025”, which includes plans to undermine our democracy and fire thousands of federal workers who make our government run, whether it’s around the world or as close as your neighborhood post office. ...
OPINION: Riverkeepers are the protectors of our watersheds, part II
Watersheds are the lifeblood of Earth, and the lifeblood of our bodies flows through a watershed. The similarity between the two is revealed in the two illustrations. One being the human vascular system, and the other being the Willamette basin drainage system. This “dendritic” structure is present in every living organism on earth. Our regional watershed is anchored by the Willamette, fed by tributaries of the Clackamas, Tualatin, Molalla, Pudding...
