WRITERS ON THE RANGE: We won’t forget what happened 101 years ago
One hundred and one years ago, my Ute ancestors were forced to live within a barbed-wire camp in Blanding, a small town in southeast Utah. For six weeks, nearly 80 people were trapped in a cage, sleeping in tents and hastily constructed hogans. Only meager meals were provided, and the captors sometimes tossed food over the fence. Like the infamous Japanese American prison camps during World War II, the only...

Oregon lawmakers start statewide transportation hearings in Portland
Oregon legislators are beginning a statewide tour in Portland. The goal: Factfinding on the state’s transportation needs ahead of a proposed, big-budget transportation package the 2025 session. And if that sounds familiar, it’s because this year’s lawmakers studied the 2016 playbook. That year, lawmakers crisscrossed the state asking about transportation needs, which lead to a $5.3 billion statewide transportation bill that passed both chambers with strong bipartisan support in 2017. ...
Movie Review: ‘Batman v Superman’: Not much fun in the fight
Once upon a time, Batman and Superman used to be fun ... in the way that many of the Marvel characters have been in their movies.

Monster at large: Real fears come to life in ‘Eric’
