Ownership key for dam removal project on Willamette

The millrace diversion dam upstream from the I-5 bridge is a problem that’s plagued recreationists and first-responders in Eugene and Springfield for decades. The defunct structure, which stretches across the Willamette River, was privately built in the 1850s to divert water into a millrace that powered sawmills and flour mills. Over years of economic growth and changing needs, industry in the area faded and the millrace was used recreationally up until the 1980s. Now, the area serves no real purpose.

Springfield's first Presidential Scholar in years is from Thurston High

Springfield's first U.S. Presidential Scholars Program awardee in recent memory found out the good news on Oct. 27 through a text from his mom. Theo Shields , who recently graduated from Thurston High School , was walking between classes at Boston University when he checked his phone. "Theo, you did it," the text from his mom said. What he did was earn one of the most prestigious designations for high school grads in the country. "Now that I have this award I would like to, if possible, transfer to a different university that might suit my academic needs a bit better," Shields said. All finalists receive an engraved U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion. Traditionally, the scholars journey to Washington, D.C., for an award ceremony where they receive their medallions, but Shields said that doesn't appear to be happening this year. The U.S. Presidential Scholars' press release said all the scholars will still receive the medallion. From homeschool to college to high school Shields has always had a stark passion for learning. Born in England, he read the first Harry Potter book around age 5 after moving to the Springfield as a toddler. Shields' mom worked for Lane Community College teaching English
