Candidate debates are in trouble – in Bend, Southern Oregon, The Dalles – and perhaps in Oregon City.
Partisan meanness shows up in the media because it drives clicks, donations, and brand loyalty. Luckily, most people dislike this partisanship and want more working together. The majority of voters see the value of humility - not thinking we or our group know everything about everything.
In light of the anticipated reversal of Roe v Wade, I write to urge that the State of Oregon continue the right of a woman to choose whether to carry a pregnancy to term, though I find the thought of abortion beyond painful. How can I, an ordained Christian minister, be anti-abortion and pro-choice at the same time?
I am supporting Caleb Berthelsen for the Bench. He practices in my court regularly. I see him on almost a daily basis. He represents his clients well at arraignments, pleas, trials, and from the jail. Caleb is always prepared, punctual, and respectful in Court. Caleb is a military veteran. He has the experience, integrity, and work ethic to make a fine Circuit Court Judge, who can preside over all of the types of cases of the Circuit Court.
Your District is entitled to a fully functioning judiciary.
The case I bring before you as a decider is that we are all of one race, and skin color is irrelevant and immaterial. This case, and the facts and arguments that support it, has a very long history.
During my time with MCMC, employee turnover has never been this high, and I am confident it is not solely due to the pandemic or the cancellation of the affiliation with OHSU, but rather a systemic problem at the upper administrative level of MCMC.
I really appreciate the informative article on Huntington’s and the research being done. I have a niece and nephew who have it. I will send them this article praying it gives them information and hope.
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the students and staff at Dry Hollow School to thank Staples and the patrons of Staples for the tremendous donation of school supplies that were recently delivered to our school.
I am disappointed to see The Dalles continue to clutch desperately to its vile settler history in an evolving world. It’s like it's the early 2000s all over again: the small towns school districts combine, the student majority vote to replace ‘Indians’ from the mascot options...only to be overridden by The Dalles "Indian pride.” Pride in the genocidal heritage of this place?
