The Carmen-Smith transmission line is a vital connection to EWEB's electric distribution system and the Bonneville Power Administration's transmission system. The line...

It's been six years since the Chemawa Indian School in Salem was last reviewed by the federal Department of the Interior, which found then that "the school did not have an adequate plan in place to ensure students' educational achievement." Now U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden have asked the department to look into what progress has been made in the six years since, and to demand greater transparency of the school's finances. Chemawa opened in 1880 as a residential boarding school, founded...

The letter comes on the heels of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initiation of a comprehensive status review of the gray wolf in the western United States as well as the recent...
In the mid-1890s, ship captains and sailors' boardinghouse owners were like partners in crime - both busily and happily swindling sailors out of what little money they had and were owed. But in the mid-1890s, some-thing happened to upset this cozy arrangement: One particular "boarding master" - in one particular West Coast port city - figured out how to double-cross his co-conspirators, and suddenly the ship captains were left out in the cold. Here's how the scam had been working, up until...

With last year's storms, particularly the substantial ice event, there's plenty of firewood around. Many homeowners wonder what to do with all the ashes left behind after the flames in the fireplace die down. As you clean the fireplace, do your plants a favor and sprinkle the ashes in the garden instead of throwing them in the garbage. Because wood ash is derived from plant material, it contains most of the 13 essential nutrients the soil supplies for plant growth, according to Oregon State...

They have a sneaky policy of recurring deliveries and I returned them because I can’t eat sugar now. When I returned the item, a representative said they would issue a refund for the $75...
Well, that's it! I have had my heartbroken for the last time. I give up on love. I'm sick and tired of women. One minute they love you and the next minute they don't.

Being alone and happy with myself has to be better than...
