Oregon's GMO battle is far from over By Corvallis Gazette-Times Jan 03, 2015 12:00 AM A A It was tempting to view the statewide vote over Measure 92, the initiative to require labels on food that have been genetically modified, as yet another issue pitting rural Oregonians against their urban counterparts. But the final county-by-county tallies on Measure 92, which was defeated by just 837 votes out of more than 1.5 million cast, suggest a somewhat more complex picture — and also suggest so

The prehistoric turkeys of Siskiyou Boulevard By Sonia Findley for the Mail Tribune Dec 13, 2020 12:00 AM A A A flock of wild turkeys frequents a field near Holmes Park. Like any gang, they act as if they own the place. Unconcerned, they amble in the middle of the street, tramp across lawns and gardens, forage, relieve themselves and scatter a messy trail of very big feathers. I’d never seen a flock of turkeys in town before. Weeks later I spotted them in a nearby cemetery, then in the condos on
