Residents push back against proposed cloud seeding permit
MEDFORD, Ore. – Local residents voiced sharp opposition Tuesday to weather modification during an Oregon Department of Agriculture public hearing. The meeting was held at the Jackson County Library in Medford regarding a license application from Rainmaker Technology Corporation to initiate cloud seeding operations across Southern Oregon. The El Segundo, California-based startup seeks state authorization to conduct a wintertime research and development campaign using autonomous quadcopters and manned aircraft to release silver iodide into mountain cloud systems over Jackson, Josephine, Douglas, and Klamath counties. State officials noted that under Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 558, approval requires determining the operation will benefit water or crop resources without endangering public health or safety.

Yamada Vending Co. brings Japanese snacks, toys to new Eugene spot
Eugene has a self-guided slice of Japan that might fly under the radar. The space, where cherry blossoms are always in bloom and navigational signs for high-speed trains adorn the walls, is tucked into a strip of shops, but soon, Yamada Vending Co. will relocate to a larger space, bringing its vibrant atmosphere to a new part of the city. Yamada Vending Co. is a Japanese-style vending shop filled with machines offering Japanese snacks, drinks, toys and merchandise. After about two years at 570 Lawrence St., the business is moving to North Eugene. Owner Eimi Yamada called opening and operating the staff-free space “an adventure” that brings something different to the Eugene community. She’s a Japanese citizen who grew up making regular trips to Japan. Bringing a slice of life from across the Pacific has given her the opportunity to provide some of that experience to Eugeneans. Folks can find items like milk tea and ramen alongside Studio Ghibli-themed stationery, Gachapon toy dispensers and creations from local Japanese artists, all inside self-serve vending machines. The new location's larger footprint makes room for new vending machines, such as one that will carry Japanese beauty products, and will include a room dedicated

Our Third Space brings a bookstore, public house to Veneta
Veneta’s new bookstore is the talk of the town, according to the folks hanging out at the bar on a Thursday afternoon. Music from the 1920s plays in the background as visitors share thoughts on their newest reads, sip drinks and eat burritos from one of the food trucks stationed just outside. Owner Jordan Mackay plays the part of the business’ host well, clad in a flat cap and vest complete with a pocket watch chain, as he welcomes customers, pours drinks and sells books. A step into the space feels almost like a jump back in time. Our Third Space opened Oct. 3 to much joy from the community. Called “perfect” by a patron who occupied an armchair in the bookstore’s living room area, the business provides just what the name implies: a third space where community members across all walks of life can spend time without obligation to spend money. The bar within the used bookstore sells beer, wine, mead and cider, as well as tea and coffee. Down the hall is Cup of Joe Cafe and right outside is the food truck pod where burgers, burritos and traditional Irish fare are available at different vendors. Our Third
