VIDA: The Oregon Dept. of Transportation's “Greenwood Dr - Vida” project is scheduled to go out to bidders on February 16th. Officials say the pavement resurfacing project is designed to replace deteriorating roadway surface that has come to the end of its useful life. Details will also include upgrades to the deck membranes on four bridges within the project limits. “This is an important statewide route and the pavement in this section is quickly getting worse,” according to an ODOT press r...
Fishery managers are predicting more spring Chinook salmon will be returning to the region this year, although only 10 percent are likely to be wild fish. According to a recent report, Oregon’s and Washington’s when native returns in 2022 amounted to 15.5 percent. Historically, wild spring Chinook spawned in nearly all the eastside Willamette tributaries above Willamette Falls. During 1952–1968, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) dam-building projects blocked more than 400 miles of wild...
Oregon is pursuing an aggressive climate plan to switch to renewable energy sources, but it faces one often overlooked issue: enough high-voltage power lines to facilitate the transition. An Oregon law requires utilities to cut greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2040. However, the Northwest's aging transmission lines will need a reboot to ensure wind and solar resources on the east side of the Cascades make their way west. Emily Moore, director of climate and energy at the Sightline Institute,...

If you’d been lucky enough to live in Portland in July of 1848, you would have been able to say, literally, that your ship had come in. The ship in question was the sailing ship Honolulu. And, funny thing: she arrived in port in ballast, with her cargo holds empty. That raised some eyebrows. At the time, Oregon was not even part of the U.S.A. yet — just a vast extranational territory jointly claimed by the U.S. and Britain. There was no national government authority to issue money, nor was the...

Five months ago, I met a guy, 21, and we fell in love. I am 26. I've come to accept that because I look a lot younger, younger guys will always find me attractive. I got some good advice once that if the relationship is good and makes me happy, people around me will learn to accept the person. Being an African doesn't help the situation because relationships between older women and younger men aren't quite accepted yet. However, my boyfriend and I are doing fine, and my friends and his have acce...
AeroMexico cancels Patrizia Azzellini's flight and offers her a ticket credit. She'd prefer a refund. Who's right? I recently booked a ticket on AeroMexico from Sacramento, Calif., to Sao Paulo, Brazil, with two stops in Mexico. The airline canceled my flight three weeks later and rebooked me on a different flight. The new itinerary added a ten-hour stopover and no longer met my needs, so I asked for a refund. I called AeroMexico three times to ask for my money back. Although the...
When the door on Lauren Butcher's new GE range shatters, the company makes her wait two months for a repair. She wants a new oven. Who's right? I purchased a new GE electric range. I had it for 12 days. On the 13th day, the door glass shattered. When a technician came out, he discovered that there was no insulation in the door. All oven doors are supposed to have insulation. There was a product defect. GE says it is covering the replacement part. It has been two months, and the insulation is...
