OSU Sherman County Extension is offering free classes to youth and adults to learn skills in food preservation in September and October. The first class was held Saturday, September 9 at the pavilion in Grass Valley during the farmers market.

Last month, Four Rivers Family Early Learning & Parenting Hub staff members and The Dalles Lions Club members joined efforts to fill over 75 backpacks with school supplies for local children entering Kindergarten this fall.

An accident occurred on September, 13th, at approximately 10:47 p.m. on I-84 in The Dalles, OR, near Coastal Farm and Ranch. Police reports indicated that a car crashed into a tree, leaving two individuals injured, prompting a response from emergency services, including Life Flight.
