RAINBOW: People interested in local medical care can learn more when McKenzie Valley Wellness (MVW) holds its 2022 annual meeting next month. From its start in 1977, the McKenzie River Clinic provided primary health care to the upper McKenzie River Valley. But in 2019 the organization's annual report explained that increased administrative costs, computer expenses, and equipment purchases - as well as changes to insurance reimbursements - had resulted in withdrawals of funds from the clinic's...

Every year when the first of April rolls around I can always count on getting a number of phone calls. Sometimes they're from people upset because they couldn't find Page 9 in an 8-page edition. Others might be upset at extravagant government spending after reading about plans to replace the Goodpasture Bridge with an underwater tunnel or some such scheme. People who've read this newspaper for a while know what I'm getting at - the annual April Fool's edition. There are a few who hate it but...
During these past two years as I have worked with organizations and groups in the Valley I have been impressed and moved by the dedication and resilience of them all. I am especially proud of Mckenzie Wellness. They have worked hard and long to make sure there is Health Care available. They didn’t let the loss of the building get in the way of finding temporary space in Rainbow to keep services available. Working with Orchid Health they even provided some services in town for the dislocated. As they look ahead to the new facility in Blue R...

If you were a fan of the classic ABC television sitcom "Happy Days," you know The Fonz had a special relationship with two particular machines: His trusty '49 Triumph motorcycle, and the pinball machine in Al's diner. But it may surprise you to know that when Fonzie was playing that pinball machine, in 1950s Milwaukee, Wisc., he was breaking the law - and so was Al. It's a bit hard for younger Oregonians to believe, but just a few dozen years ago pinball was illegal in most large American...
When it comes time to garden, which is almost every day, 83-year-old Jerry Anderson stretches to warm up his muscles, picks up an ergonomic trowel and settles himself on a bucket in front of one of his raised beds. He sees no reason to ever stop his routine. "I've got eight dahlia beds built so I can put one on top of another," said Anderson, who has been an Oregon State University master gardener for 21 years. "That way if I'm in a scooter someday, I can still garden." On the days he's not gard...
I am having a problem in paradise. First of all, I am 22, he is 31. We have known each other for a little over a month. At first, he was more affectionate than I was. He felt a little upset I wasn't moving as fast as he was affectionately. Not that he was trying to be sexual, he just wanted cuddling, hugging, and kissing. For some reason he thought we were "two different people." He was unsure whether we should even talk anymore. I didn't see that! We had a long debate, and everything was good a...
After a pandemic flight cancellation, Waleska Abreu has waited almost two years for a refund from Corsair International and her online agent, Flight Network. Is her money lost forever? I need your help getting a refund from Flight Network. I booked tickets from Miami to Paris on Corsair International, a charter airline, in 2019. We were supposed to fly in June 2020, but of course, we couldn't because of the pandemic. I have been trying to get a refund from Flight Network since then. I have tried...
When Lufthansa changes Gabriele Stahl's flight from San Francisco to Munich, she tries to modify her itinerary. Now the airline has presented her with a bill for an extra $1,360. Can it do that? Last year, I booked a ticket from San Francisco to Munich. A few weeks later, Lufthansa informed me that the flight had changed and that there would be a stopover in Frankfurt. Given that, it was more convenient for me just to terminate my flight in Frankfurt than to continue on to Munich. I called...

Here are some tips to make sure a new product you send to your parent can easily connect to their WiFi network.
