Lake Oswego polling residents on ballot measure idea
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. The city is considering forwarding a ballot measure to voters that would amend restrictions enacted via a 2021 charter amendment that prevents developments and improvements at city-owned parks. However, the ballot measure would pertain only to Stevens Meadows, a 20.5-acre park that sits outside of Lake Oswego but is owned by the local government. ...

OPINION: She started with vaping. He started with vaping. They started with vaping.
Vaping has affected many in my life, and I’ve seen how it alters the lives of my peers and cuts off the path to a healthy future. I’ve seen them at school, seen how their behaviors change, their grades change and their spirit changes. What I haven’t seen — or what I can’t see — is the irreversible damage to their minds, heart and lungs that e-cigarettes cause. I especially can’t see or feel the cancer and sickness inside their chests, ready to take over...

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...
