BLUE RIVER: There was more cause for celebration last Friday as applause rang out for people with shovels. The event truly “broke ground” when a crew of seven dug into the turf where the new O’Brien Memorial Library is to be built. The new building will join other public structures in Blue River that plan to have grand openings next year. The others include the Upper McKenzie Fire District’s Blue River station and a medical clinic funded by McKenzie Valley Wellness. The library rebuild will in...
RAINBOW: With a top speed of 163 mph, the Mercedes 300 SL was the fastest production car in the world when it debuted in 1954. Many of the examples that pulled into Rainbow last week were still capable of hitting that mark. All of the 37 cars on the 300 SL Foundation tour that swung through the McKenzie Valley last week were factory originals. Some had been fully restored, and frame-up rebuilds using original parts. A few others were “hot rods” that had their performance tweaked a bit. That sor...

Of Transportation, crews closed the highway from the western snow gate to the top of the pass at Dee Wright Observatory.

Hazelnut, walnut, or chestnut trees in your home orchard can keep you supplied with nuts for months if you know the best ways to harvest, handle, and store them. Harvesting hazelnuts means gathering them as they fall from the trees – before autumn rains, if possible, said Ross Penhallegon, a horticulturist with Oregon State University’s Extension Service. You can shake branches lightly, but in most cases, the nuts will fall on their own. Walnuts are mature as soon as the husk cuts free from the...

I am 32 and a mom with two children. I’ve pretty much been single for two years. My problem is I found myself falling for my son’s teacher. I never saw a ring on his finger, so last school year I made every attempt to visit my son’s school as often as I could. Eventually, I took the chicken’s way out and emailed this man and told him how I felt. He replied that he was flattered, that we could remain friends, and that he was my child’s teacher. I emailed back saying I didn’t know what I was...
