Cottage Grove rallied to save a local grocery. But it’s more than a store. It’s a ‘dream.’

Scott Burgwin ran Coast Fork Farm Stand — what many Cottage Grove residents called their only source of local, healthy food — for about 15 years when an ice storm hit in January 2024. That winter, thick ice glazed much of Lane County as the storm felled thousands...

Lane County faces billions in damage from a Cascadia earthquake

Being earthquake-ready goes beyond having a few bottles of water and a battery-powered flashlight on hand. Local seismologists say there is a one-in-three chance a magnitude 8.0 or higher Cascadia earthquake will occur in the next 50 years. There is a one-in-10 chance of a magnitude 9.0 or higher earthquake. The Eugene Water & Electric Board , in collaboration with the Eugene Family YMCA and University of Oregon , are promoting emergency readiness, giving presentations and answering questions about what Eugene residents need to know and what they can do now to prepare for an earthquake that could heavily impact the Pacific Northwest's infrastructure. Valerie Sahakian , UO associate professor of earth sciences and lead investigator for Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT) , said planning now is essential . "When things are really big and scary, reinforcing what you can do helps," Sahakian said. What is the Cascadia subduction zone and how do we know it's active? The Cascadia subduction zone , spanning about 600 miles between Northern California and British Columbia, lies about 100 miles west of the Oregon coast. Here, two offshore tectonic plates meet, one sliding underneath the other and building up pressure over time. Scientists

Atmospheric river flows into Lane County, though November still drier than normal

Atmospheric rivers are back in Eugene and Springfield, though modestly. While its flow may feel like any other blustery day, atmospheric rivers bring moisture often from the tropics, rather than relying on local evaporation or storm fronts like typical rainfall. That moisture travels in a long band, like a conveyor belt in the sky, across the Pacific Ocean until it reaches land in the Northwest.

‘Drowning machine’ dam can come out, city says — if there’s money

If crews get the money to dismantle a dangerous dam in the Willamette River between Eugene and Springfield, they’ll first have to build another dam. This one at least would be temporary, unlike the Millrace Low Head Dam itself. That nearly century-old dam from a bygone era of energy infrastructure lurks below the surface, and for years it has trapped kayakers and floaters passing through. Dams like this are often called “drowning machines” because of their powerful recirculating currents that swirl like a washing machine.

Regardless of the math, electric vehicles can do significant harm on public paths | Letter to the editor

I have read and reread Kevin Craig’s letter about two-wheeled electric vehicles not hitting like a truck. He makes many valid points about being realistic about all the threats to traffic safety. But he inappropriately minimizes the effect of a 50-pound, two-wheeled electric vehicle with a 150-pound rider striking a pedestrian like an elderly person, a child or even a healthy grownup. It may not hit as hard as a truck, but it can still do serious and even fatal harm depending on the circumstances.
