In this third and final part of a 3-part series on iconic Hollywood films shot in Oregon, we'll talk about six films rather than five. Our survey ends, rather arbitrarily, with the end of the 1980s, at the dawning of the Gus Van Sant era of filmmaking in Oregon (and particularly in the Portland area). But first: 11. The Apple Dumpling Gang (1975) Walt Disney Productions. Starring Bill Bixby, Susan Clark, Don Knotts, and Tim Conway. Oregon connection: Deschutes County. This lightweight, feel-good...
Rhododendrons say spring as loudly as football says fall. Both have fervent fans and enemies staring them down. The teams that feed on rhododendrons – called black root weevils – are tiny compared to the helmeted players at each end of a football field, but the damage they do aggravates gardeners who can't figure out a good defense. Wouldn't you know it, rhododendrons are a favored target of black vine root weevils. However, there are several weevil pests, including strawberry root weevils. All...

Two years ago I got out of a long-term, emotionally abusive relationship. After it ended I decided I wanted to explore who I am and leave relationships casual. About this time I met a wonderful man who wanted the same thing. This lasted for six months until he told me he loved me. I admit I was a little stunned. Then my roommate moved out leaving me stuck with our expensive two-bedroom apartment. I couldn't afford the place by myself, and this man offered to move in with me. You can imagine how...
