Nobody remembers it today, because it was so long ago. But the outbreak of the First World War changed Oregon – and the rest of the United States – a great deal. News of America's entry into the fight was greeted with excitement, eagerness and dread. But there was one particular group of Oregonians for whom the dread was particularly pronounced: The German-American community. The German-born cohort of Oregon residents was bigger than any other foreign-born group, totaling 18,000 in the 1910 cen...
In a perfect world, garden plants would feed themselves. As it is, we've got to help them along sometimes. Plants take up nutrients from the soil but when those nutrients are missing, it's time for fertilizer. "Plants pull out nutrients as they grow," said Weston Miller, a horticulturist with Oregon State University Extension Service. "Unless they're put back in, the plant suffers." But knowing which fertilizer to choose, how much to apply and which plants to feed is not always obvious. Knowing...
After Stanley Wales cancels his diving trip to Bonaire, he files a travel insurance claim with TripMate. What's taking it so long to respond? My wife and I planned to travel to Bonaire for scuba diving late last year. Before our departure, I went to the hospital with abnormal bleeding. My urologist told me not to travel, especially out of the country. I canceled my plane tickets on Delta Air Lines and my reservations at Belmar Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments. Delta gave me credit for future use,...
When Jeff and I met 15 years ago, we truly believed we were soul mates. To this day we've never been bored with each other. We spend hours together talking, playing, laughing, scheming. People say he worships the ground I walk on. He's always been sexual in a boyish way, and when we first met, he said he no longer lusted after women. He was married to his first wife then, and she later informed me he would always cheat, even on me. Three years into the marriage my 18-year-old son saw Jeff and a...
When Loc Nguyen ports three phones to AT&T, the wireless carrier offers him the fourth line for just $1 a month. But it never follows through and now he has to pay a total of $500. How can he fix that? While I was porting three of my cell phones to AT&T, a company representative told me that adding an iPhone11 and a fourth line would cost $1 per month over 36 months. It seemed like a good deal. The representative told me to wait for three billing cycles for the credit to show up. But after...
