People of Tillamook County Send Demand Petition Calling for Tillamook County District Attorney’s Resignation; Requests Governor, Attorney General Launch Investigation to Determine Criminality of Tillamook County District Attorney’s Actions

The “People of Tillamook County” sent a demand petition to the Governor’s office and state Attorney General’s office the end of October asking for an independent criminal investigation of Tillamook County District Attorney Aubrey Olson, when Olson failed to resign. The group sent a demand to the DA asking her to resign within 72 hours of receipt of the document. The nearly 450 page demand petition outlines multiple examples of Olson’s unethical and in some cases criminal mis-handling of cases in Tillamook County. In addition, following the county’s investigation the DA filed a lawsuit against the county and threatened the Sheriff’s office whistleblower. Recently upon receipt of the People’s petition, she attempted to block the Board of Commissioners from taking action, again threatening injunctions and legal action.

Editorial: Astoria rejected a housing tax. Now build solutions.

Feelings about Astoria’s housing predicament were laid bare by the campaign for Measure 4-247 and the reaction against it. Measure proponents approached the issue with admirable conviction. Despite Oregonians’ deep aversion to new taxes, nearly four out of 10 Astoria voters supported a levy on owners of homes occupied less than half the year, with exceptions for certain circumstances. That says something about how urgently many residents want action.

5 Best Restaurants in Hillsboro, Oregon You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Hillsboro, Oregon — a city where the Tualatin Valley rolls green and generous beneath a sky that always seems to be shifting, where the scent of cedar mingles with the aroma of roasting coffee, and where neighborhoods are stitched together by the laughter of children, the hum of tech workers, and the quiet pride of families who have called this place home for generations. Here, glass towers rise beside berry fields, and food trucks park in the shadow of historic storefronts, each corner humming with the stories of newcomers and old-timers alike.

Photos: Tradition of Tribute: American flags in Lincoln City

Remembering local veterans continues to be a tradition of tribute by the Lincoln City Kiwanis Club. Roger Robertson and other Kiwanis members continued the club's Parade of Flags program, placing over 200 American Flags throughout Lincoln City, Wednesday, Nov. 11, to show support for veterans and the men and women now serving the county. Kiwanis Club members pack the flags into vehicles and drive around town placing the flags in front of local businesses and other locations during the mornings of eight holidays, including Labor Day, 9-11 Patriot Day, Veterans Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of July. They return to pick up the flags at the end of the day on each holiday. Placing the flags in front of businesses as a show of support has been a major fundraising event for the Kiwanis Club for generations. For most major holidays and special American flag celebrations, the flags are displayed in front of the supporting businesses. Volunteers begin as early as first light by carefully installing the flags into their respective holders. The Kiwanis Club provides scholarships for graduating high school seniors with the money generated from placing flags and other events throughout the year.
