Eugene-based painter uses her background in iconography to showcase Oregon’s environment
Last spring, Olga Volchkova spotted a candy cane plant in the Oregon woods, near the coast. In late September, she went back and found 10 matsutake mushrooms. The candy cane flower can’t make its own food, so it takes sugar from the pines through a fungal network beneath the forest floor, Volchkova said. Where it blooms in spring, matsutake follows in fall.

Eugene police chief, city manager sing '80s tunes in carpool karaoke
Eugene Police Department Chief Chris Skinner and Eugene City Manager Jenny Haruyama recently tried their hands at carpool karaoke. The 8-minute video posted to social media platforms, including Facebook, on Sept. 24 shows Skinner picking up Haruyama and driving around downtown Eugene near City Hall. On the road, the two shared nostalgic memories about their youth and sang along to several hits from the 1980s. EPD spokesperson Chelsea Deffenbacher said via email the video was originally meant to give city staff a glimpse into Skinner and Haruyama's personalities, but the public post has allowed the broader community to see their non-professional sides, behind their rank and job title. "I also believe it’s important that we find joy in our work and having fun amidst a heavy job, which is good for overall professional balance," Skinner said. Carpool Karaoke began trending in the 2010s, when it became a recurring segment on "The Late Late Show with James Corden." The segment saw Cordon invite famous musicians to sing their favorite tunes with the talk show host. Although none of the police departments that EPD tagged in its Facebook post have posted their own rendition, Eugene isn't the first city to put its
