MARCOLA: Two armed robbery suspects were taken into custody by a Lane County Sheriff's Deputy on Saturday. According to Sheriff's Office reports, the theft victim alerted police at 10:51 a.m. that he'd just been confronted by a man and woman at the Hayden Bridge Boat Landing.

LEABURG: What some call "That god awful sound" did its job last Saturday when an emergency alert went out to mobile phones and landlines during a test conducted by McKenzie Fire & Rescue, Lane County Emergency Management, and Central Lane 9-1-1 conducted in the McKenzie Valley area. In addition text messages were also part of the practice exercise. Apparently, it worked, with 1,615 people responding.

After nearly ten months of negotiations, a last-minute agreement last weekend between conservationists and owners of private forest will significantly change Oregon’s 1971 Forest Practices Act and add new protections for sensitive fish and wildlife species on over 10 million acres of private forest land in the state. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced an agreement Sunday, Oct. 31, that she had brokered between private forestry representatives, small forestland owners, conservation leaders, and fishing organizations. The proposal, according to a...

McKenzie Sports Schedule This Week There are no McKenzie Athletic events scheduled this week. Remember Again? Do you recall the Fall of 1991? Maybe you tagged a nice buck or hooked and boated a fat salmon. Perhaps the vibrant autumn colors bordered your photo of the Three Sisters on a brisk early morning hike. Fall season in the McKenzie Valley always offers opportunities for memorable moments. The Fall, thirty years back, was one to remember for McKenzie High. The Eagle Boys Cross Country team coached by Head Coach Jeff Sherman ran away with...

The last year of the First World War saw an explosion in Allied aircraft. The forces of Imperial Germany put up the best fight they could, and fielded probably the best aircraft of the war - the Fokker D.VII, which famously could hang on its propeller - but the few they managed to make were overwhelmed by swarms of the latest SPADs, Nieuports and DeHavilands, which were close to equal quality and far more numerous. The fact is, after Oregon got involved in the war, the German air force didn't...
For a hedge, arborvitae has a place. It's tall, skinny, evergreen, low maintenance, and cheap. "Some people look down on arborvitae, but it fits in places that other things can't," said Neil Bell, a retired horticulturist for Oregon State University Extension Service. "And it's about as low maintenance a plant as anything you can buy if it's sited correctly." When finding a location for arborvitae in the garden, Bell recommends full sun and well-drained soil. "They can take some afternoon...
My boyfriend of one year and I moved in together. We are both 34. I am single, and he is divorced with a 7-year-old son (split custody).

Since I moved into his home, my boyfriend has stopped cleaning up the way he used to. Before I moved in we discussed finances and sharing responsibilities around the house. Now it's like he has completely...

My wife and I have been trying to get a refund from Scenic River Cruises for more than eight months. We paid $14,910 for a Danube River cruise from Bucharest to Budapest scheduled for May 2020. That included airfare and an upgrade. We also bought a travel insurance policy. Scenic River Cruises canceled the cruise in early May of 2020....
When Delta Air Lines reschedules Terry Kulka's flight, she wants a refund. But the airline will only offer a credit. Who's right? I had a confirmed round trip flight from San Francisco to New York on Delta Air Lines. The flight was scheduled to depart at 8:30 a.m. A couple of days ago, I received a notice from Delta that Delta changed the flight departure time to 7 in the morning. Seven in the morning? That's ridiculous! I live in Oakland, and my transportation to San Francisco is via BART (Bay...
