COLUMN | Milkweed + Honey: Lessons from my dad
It should surprise no one that this columnist became interested in gardening. It runs in the family. From my earliest memories, my dad, Bernie Schell, heaved on his big steel-toed boots every morning and came home filthy every evening from working in the dirt all day. Dad worked in landscaping in the high desert area of Twin Falls, Idaho, for four decades. He started at a golf course and then worked for a garden center before becoming self-employed. ...

Despite mild fire season forecast, agencies tell Oregon leaders they need to invest in workforce
Oregon is likely to face fewer big wildfires this summer than in previous years, but a lack of rural housing, coupled with unstable and often low pay, continues to create firefighter workforce challenges across the state and region.

In Oregon, Democrats use second anniversary of Dobbs to reaffirm support for abortion rights

On June 24, 2022, the conservative court ruled 6-3 in favor of a Mississippi ban on abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. That ruling overturned 50 years of constitutional abortion rights established by Roe v. Wade, kicking the decision on abortion back to the states. ...
St. Paul Rodeo adds women’s breakaway roping to its repertoire
It’s not often that rodeos add a new event to their repertoire, as the standard seven contests have served them well over the past century or so. But the St. Paul Rodeo will break ground at this year’s Fourth of July event with the addition of women’s breakaway roping.
