BLUE RIVER: Besides reconfiguring the way traffic passes through the community, Lane County planners have also been exploring ways changes to zoning might help Blue River area recovery efforts. At a public meeting last week people were encouraged to comment on three different community plans. Two focused on the “downtown” area from west to east along Blue River Drive up to the bridge. The third option extends from the bridge to the McKenzie Schools campus. Under Alternative 1 (Downtown Fle...

COBURG: Since the McKenzie River Trust acquired land from the Green family in 2003, Green Island has been evolving. The site has become recognized as the site of some of the least altered fish and wildlife habitats in the Willamette Valley. Green Island’s significance was based on research indicating that between Albany and Eugene - from 1850 to 1995 - close to 80% of islands, 41% of side channels, 80% of riparian forest, and 74% of alcoves and sloughs had been lost. Restoring the floodplain f...
The Oregon Water Resources Department must update its 68-year-old rules for permitting new wells or double down on regulating existing ones, department officials said. If it doesn’t, the growing problem of the state’s depleted groundwater reserves “is going to get very expensive,” said department director Doug Woodcock. Many of Oregon’s 20 groundwater basins are being sucked dry faster than water can naturally be replaced, according to the agency. This is an issue across the West, where dro...

Continued From Last Week At one point, Oregon Trunk Railroad president John Stevens (Hill’s top lieutenant on the job) learned the Twohy Brothers had built a wagon road across a 230-acre parcel of private land to access the nearest water supply. Stevens promptly bought the land — actually, he just bought an option on it, but it came with some property rights, which gave him the right to fence it off and hang “No Trespassing” signs everywhere, and station armed guards. The Twohy Brothers complai...
Six stellar shrubs to brighten the winter garden In January and February, the flowers of winter arrive, blooming as cheerfully as the showoffs of spring. “One of the coolest things about gardening in the Pacific Northwest is winter gardens,” said Neil Bell, a horticulturist with Oregon State University’s Extension Service. “Spring is overwhelming with flowers, but in winter it’s surprising. It’s nice to see something that’s so unexpected. And then there’s the scent; such an enjoyable thing.” One...
My dilemma is this. I've been going out with my boyfriend for five months. He is a very loving and romantic guy and would do basically anything for me. But the other night we were making love, and he said a friend's name instead of mine. Now this girl isn't particularly good-looking, she's quite small, her eyes are funny looking, and her teeth are all over her mouth. Basically, she looks like a caveman. Nonetheless, it still hurt me, and I pushed him away. He tried to explain he had been out...
Heather Steele is stuck in a cold Airbnb, and her host refuses to help her. Can she move to a different rental? You have helped me before, and I am so grateful, but I need help again, unfortunately. I am currently in an Airbnb near Washington, D.C. I'm in the basement, and it's 63 degrees. I have no control over the temperature. The host controls it upstairs, and I am freezing. The host forbids me from opening any windows to let in the warm air, and I am so cold, that I feel like it's some sort...
Julie Kuklenski returned her Stella McCartney cross-body bag to Saks. But the company won't return her money. What's going on? I ordered a Stella McCartney cross-body bag from Saks.com recently. I made this purchase while Saks was offering a promotion on designer handbags and received $200 off the original price of $950. I received the wrong bag. I called Saks, and a representative said that this item was sent from a store and not their warehouse. I received a return label and returned it via...
