Pushing for sustainability in Lake Oswego
(LAKE OSWEGO) — Dorothy Atwood frames the golden rule — treating others how they would want to be treated — in a futuristic way.

West Linn woman helped grow Trillum Creek garden
(WEST LINN) — While reveling in the impressiveness of Trillium Creek Primary, one of the first things Charity Hudnut noticed when she first visited the school after moving to West Linn with her family in 2012 was its garden beds.

The common refrain in their yellow home at the end of the cul-de-sac is that the duo is only one phone call away from their grandchildren — biological or chosen family. Photos of familial and honorary grandkids — including the Ramirezes’ 10 grandchildren and a few of the neighborhood children — line the walls of their...

OPINION: Oregon must continue supporting global immunizations
For millions of children, immunizations can make the difference between a life of poverty and one of possibility.

2024 Hyundai Sante Fe: Completely redesigned SUV looks great, drives well
Don’t let the aggressively boxy styling of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe fool you. The completely redesigned mid-size SUV looks like a slightly smaller version of the rugged Land Rover Defender 130, minus the spare tire mounted on the rear door. But the Santa Fe is not nearly that tough. But who cares? The new Santa Fe looks great, rides well, and can be ordered with an all-wheel-drive system that should satisfy most potential buyers. The Hyundai also costs only half as much as Rover,...
