LEABURG: On January 6th, at 4:57 p.m., McKenzie Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a house fire just west of Leaburg. Upon their arrival, personnel observed flames coming from the southwest corner of the residence. Based on the alarm details crew members knew there was a high potential that the caller was still inside. The property had several down trees which completely blocked any driveway access, forcing firefighters to use the eastbound lane of Highway 126 for their initial attack. The first crew on scene was able to locate the caller inside...

Very few people outside Coos County, and probably not that many inside it, know what a big deal Coos Bay is. It's the biggest deepwater har-bor on the Northwest coast -- that is, between San Francisco and Puget Sound. And it's far safer than Portland or Astoria, tucked as they are behind the "Graveyard of the Pacific" at the mouth of the Columbia. So, one has to wonder why it had no railroad connection to the outside world until 1916 -- more than 30 years after Portland got one. There have to...
When winter comes and the menu for birds shrinks in urban backyards, they rely on the kindness of humans. That doesn't mean just a bird feeder of seeds and nuts. "Different birds are attracted to different foods and it's good to have a variety," said Dana Sanchez, a wildlife specialist for Oregon State University's Extension Service. "In addition to bird feeders, which people sometimes forget to fill, they need plants to forage on." This time of year, you'll notice winter wrens, pine siskins,...
I am a 17-year-old male. I have been dating a 16-year-old girl for three months. I am sure we are both totally in love, but I am confused on a few things.

She wondered why we never messed around and feared I didn't find her attractive. I had kissed her on the lips, but I never really kissed her. So I told her the truth. She is beautiful! I...
Why did Kate Syverson's rent just go up by $157 a month? And why is her apartment manager threatening to take her to court if she won't pay $1,048 in back rent? I'm hoping you can help me with a situation I am having with my apartment management company. I'm a college senior. I recently moved out of student housing and into my own apartment at the Allure apartment complex, which is a property of Greystar Real Estate. My rent was $1,886 plus utilities every month, and when I got a dog in March...
When Jennifer Waters changes her vacation location, her online agency drops the ball. How can you get Orbitz to fix a botched reservation change? We had a vacation to Tahiti booked through Orbitz. My husband recently called Orbitz to see how much it would cost to change the vacation to Aruba. Orbitz rebooked our tickets without permission. But they didn't completely switch the vacations.
