Who speaks for small businesses in Oregon? I have been asking myself this question for some years now as a small-business owner and the co-chair of a statewide small business association. In March, three groups claiming to represent “business” in Oregon sent nearly identical letters to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The letters urged the Trump administration to approve a Canadian corporation’s proposed Jordan Cove fracked gas export terminal at Coos Bay and

Hubbard's Hardware will become part of employee-owned Dazey's Supply Jan. 2 After three decades of running the state's oldest hardware store, founded in 1884, the Seus family decided it was time to move on. However, the five siblings who have owned the 133-year-old since 1988 weren't about to turn the reins over to just anyone. With none of the 29 next-generation nephews and nieces desiring to take on the venture, Bob Seus, the eldest of four brothers working at the firm, put word out last year

During the era of public enemies in the early '30s, ill-fated lovers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow became notorious for robbing banks, grocery stores and gas stations, and killing policemen and civilians. The duo had started life at the bottom of the heap. Parker, a 20-year-old waitress when she met Barrow during the Great Depression, was obsessed with picture shows and fancied herself an actress, just like silent film star Clara Bow. Clyde's incarceration at a prison farm had hardened him as a

For the third consecutive year, gypsy moths have turned up near Grants Pass. In fact, half of the state total of 14 detections this year came from one single trap in the Azalea Drive area a few miles west of town. The leaf-eating moths don't pose an immediate threat at this level, but their presence makes foresters nervous. "We're catching these before they have populations high enough to damage trees," said Clint Burfitt, manager of Oregon Department of Agriculture's Insect Pest Prevention and

What are the rules about collecting driftwood on Oregon beaches. Can you just go out and cut up a big log for firewood? I've seen people who live near a state-park beach bring a wheelbarrow to the park, fill it with driftwood for their wood stove and push it back to their house. Is that legal? Can you collect little pieces of unusual wood for craft projects? — Carlos D., Grants Pass It all depends on where you are, Carlos. Oregon's beaches are all open to the public, but that doesn't mean

She was talking about revelations that our government has been spying on us on a massive scale. She mentioned the National Security Agency's PRISM, which has been scooping up our personal information from the servers of Google, Facebook, Yahoo and, yes, Skype.

Ever wish to be a superhero ... or a super villain?

ASHLAND — The Rogue Valley hasn’t been a hotbed for hop growing. The largest plantation outside Grants Pass was uprooted in the 1980s and a mom-and-pop operation off Butler Creek Road has provided hops for local brewers for nearly a decade. Now, the largest grow south of the Willamette Valley is going up on Bear Creek Ranch of Oregon, next to the southbound lanes of Interstate 5. Portland brewer Justin Fay, owner of Base Camp Brewing Co., is installing 4 1/2 acres of hops on the ranch owned by h
