  • Carvers made it a family event

    Aug 24, 2014

    Carver kids BLUE RIVER: Events like the Chainsaw Art Festival involve competitions like the daily quick carves or main event sculptures. Yet behind the scenes the interactions between the people operating those snarling saws are pretty open hearted. That’s what Randy Gauthier of Moberly Lake, British Columbia, found out last year when a string of bad luck left all his gear in the wrong country. After other hassles with ticket agents and border officials he arrived at the show with little pocket money and no tools. Not for long, however. Other c...

  • Firefighters keeping lightning fires small

    Aug 19, 2014

    Yesterday, lightning sparked six fires on the McKenzie River Ranger District. Fortunately, firefighters were able to respond rapidly to these starts and kept them all under an acre. All the fires were located in the north end of the Three Sisters Wilderness and required the work of rappellers, smoke jumpers and district personnel to keep the fire sizes to a minimum. “We are also keeping a look out for ‘sleepers,’” said Randy Harbick, Fire Management Officer for the McKenzie River Ranger District. “Yesterday, we found two fires that were left...
