Rules fortified for Woodburn's theater, museum, library
On the heels of heightened concerns about emerging inappropriate behaviors, updated rules of conduct for the Woodburn Public Library, Woodburn Museum and Bungalow Theater are in the works.

Highway Project: Canby Council gets update on project from ODOT
There’s little doubt that the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Highway 99E project has had an impact in Canby. So much so that the Canby City Council invited ODOT to provide an update during council’s April 17 meeting. The project is moving along, though some unforeseen situations have caused delays. “This has been one of those necessary evils,” Canby Mayor Brian Hodson noted. “It’s a major thoroughfare for Clackamas County and...
OPINION: Is Wilsonville headed in the right direction?
The city of Wilsonville wants to create a new urban renewal district to turn Town Center into an urban setting of high-rise apartments with commercial on the bottom floor. This begs the question, “Do you want suburban Wilsonville to move toward a more urban look and use with greatly increased traffic?” There are so many empty retail spaces in Wilsonville and some will be occupied by new tenants. However, online shopping for almost everything is becoming the norm, and I wonder how many retail establishments...
Beer Library: Despite changes, delays, project is still coming
To say there’s some interest in the state of the proposed “Beer Library” project would be an apt description. The project, which would put a brewery and multiple food carts into the space the old Canby Public Library used to occupy, has found the going slow for the better part of two years. But Oregon City Brewing Company co-owner Bryce Morrow, who is hoping to bring the Beer Library to fruition, visited with the Canby City Council on April 17 to fill councilors in on...
Gervais School District has found a creative approach to slashing chronic absenteeism rates
GERVAIS, Ore. — Since the pandemic, schools across the country and in Oregon have struggled with chronic absenteeism. A student is chronically absent if they miss more than 10% of school. The problem is common for large and small school districts, as well as districts in rural and urban...

West Linn council approves plans for new Willamette area commercial building with rooftop deck
Plans for a new commercial building on Willamette Falls Drive will move forward after the West Linn City Council unanimously denied an appeal of the proposal during a discussion that spanned two meetings April 15 and 22. Neighbors living directly behind the site of the new building appealed an initial approval of the proposed project earlier this year, arguing that noise from the planned rooftop deck would likely violate the city’s noise ordinance. ...
Wilsonville is undertaking improvements to park trail system
The city of Wilsonville is set to add a trail at Boones Ferry Park while improving another at Park at Merryfield. The Park at Merryfield project will widen the asphalt trail to 10 feet and address ADA compliance issues related to the trail’s slope, according to a staff report.

Molalla roundup: boys volleyball sweeps Estacada; baseball and softball topple Gladstone
The Molalla boys volleyball team swept Estacada on Wednesday, April 24, at home to move to 4-1 on the year. The team opened its season with three straight victories over Western Christian, McNary and Grand View Christian before losing to Silverton on Monday, April 22. It's not a bad start for a program only in its second year of existence and first as an 'emerging activity' under the OSAA, which the ultimate purpose is to, "grow meaningful interscholastic participation opportunities for students in athletics and...
Readers respond: Support police who support the community
Can we step back a moment from the topic of sex trafficking and admire the professional policing by a detective who identified criminal activity hiding in plain sight by a school? (“Sex-trafficked Chinese women were living in massage parlors in Lake Oswego and West Linn, prosecutor says,” April 16).
OPINION: Urban renewal means sacrifices in other areas
Considering the slick campaigning the City is doing with their urban renewal push mailers (that they would say are simply “informative”), let’s please remember that for just every $10 taken by Wilsonville’s urban renewal tax means that the following DO NOT get their rightful share of our tax dollars … Schools $3.70 City (includes police) $1.20 ...
