Lake Oswego's Lusiano Lopez steals the show at 6A wrestling championships
Entering last weekend’s 6A wrestling championships at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Lake Oswego junior Lusiano Lopez was the No. 8 seed in the boys’ 215-pound bracket. By the numbers, Lopez wasn’t even favored to make it beyond the Saturday morning quarterfinal round, and the Laker took that personally. “They gave me a bad seed. I got the number-one kid in my second match,” Lopez said. “So I just felt...
Takeaways and observations from Oregon baseball's home opening series
It was all Oregon in the baseball squad’s home opening series as they picked up four straight wins, with three of them being by 10 or more runs. The flat out dominance allowed the team and fans alike to get even more of a taste for what the 2024 team is going to look like on a weekend-to-weekend basis. Both personnel adjustments and larger sample sizes provided from four more games gives a lot more insight into the team head coach Mark Wasikowski has assembled. ...
Give your living room a whole new groove
An “out with the old, in with the new” mentality can extend to people’s visions for their homes. A home needing repair or renovation can serve as a catalyst to take inventory of personal style and help make interior spaces reflect one’s unique vibe. A living room can grow stale over time and become a catch-all for clothing, blankets, gadgets, and other items. Upon recognizing a living room has seen better days, individuals may decide it’s time to give the space a new vibe. That...

Oregon Legislature advances bill that aims to stem violence against hospital workers
A bipartisan proposal to step up penalties for assaulting hospital workers has advanced in the Legislature despite opposition from advocates for people with disabilities. House Bill 4088 would make it a felony to knowingly and intentionally attack a hospital worker, create a pot of money to help hospitals adopt prevention measures and require hospital signage about the law. The proposal follows several high-profile attacks against hospital staff in recent years,...
Jottings From Fifth & G: We need each other
Two thousand years ago there was a type of pilgrimage where followers entered a temple and began circling right. Pilgrims with heavy hearts, feeling lost and alone, entered and circled to the left, walking against the current. Those who encountered a clockwise circler would look that person in the eyes and inquire, “Where are you hurting?” The ritual used the power of community as medicine. The way goodness and healing enter the world is through other people. Patrick Malee said the same thing in his editorial about how neighbors helped one another during the recent ice storm. “No matter what...

Oregon House votes to continue canola farming cap in the Willamette Valley from Multnomah to Lane counties
The Oregon House voted Thursday, Feb. 22, to keep a cap on canola farming in the Willamette Valley in place into early 2028. For some legislators and stakeholders looking for a compromise, that means more debate over an already yearslong issue. Since 2013, the Legislature has kept in place a 500-acre limit on canola farming in the Willamette Valley Protected District, which stretches from Multnomah County to Lane County. The limit is because canola, which is mainly grown for its seed to produce cooking oil and livestock feed, is a brassica crop — part of a large family of plants that includes vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, mustards, radish and kale. Groups against expanding canola argue the Willamette Valley is one of few places in the world with the ideal conditions to grow seed for brassicas.

Oregon voters cynical about government, support campaign finance reform, survey finds
Oregonians are cynical about state politics and open to government reforms including campaign finance limits and open primaries, a new report from the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center found. The report, compiled by the nonprofit and nonpartisan center from two surveys it conducted in late 2023, includes responses from more than 5,400 Oregonians. It comes as lawmakers and voters consider adopting proposals for new limits on campaign finance and changes to state elections and as voters in Portland prepare for their first election with a...
OPINION: Reconsidering Oregon's kicker law
Oregon’s “kicker” law was passed by the Legislature in 1979, supported by voters in 1980 and finally enshrined in our State Constitution as Measure 86 in 2000. Oregon’s tax kicker law is a unique feature among U.S. states that automatically triggers a refund to taxpayers when the state collects more revenue than anticipated. Whenever the kicker is ready to kick unanticipated revenue back to taxpayers, the state Legislature can redirect that refund into other budgetary priorities through a two-thirds supermajority vote. ...

Movie Review: Michael Douglas’s ‘Instinct’ was, and still is, good
More than 30 years later, “Basic Instinct” has kept its basics as a marvelously adult thriller. Director Paul Verhoeven and writer Joe Eszterhas stirred considerable discord — even with their leading lady — when the film (which MGM+ Hits presents Tuesday, Feb. 27) was released in 1992, but it remains a lushly filmed and well-performed melodrama that did nothing to diminish the box-office power Michael Douglas was enjoying at the time. He’d earned a best-actor Oscar for “Wall Street,” but he still was the go-to...
