EAGLE POINT — For someone like Cameron Morgan, every game this season for Eagle Point’s football team has been precious. Sure, Friday’s Midwestern League clash at Crater is one everyone at each school circles on the calendar for its rivalry implications, but Morgan has more than just the Comets on his mind these days. As a senior, the 6-foot, 170-pound quarterback and defensive back knows how precious each game can be and how fleeting his time left on the football field may be this year. Morgan

Oregon’s close gubernatorial race between Democratic Gov. Kate Brown and GOP candidate Oregon Rep. Knute Buehler has captured the attention of national political pundits. On Tuesday, the race made the front page of the Cook Political Report’s website, with analyst Jennifer E. Duffy upgrading the race to a “tossup” — rare territory for an Oregon Democrat holding a governor’s seat in the 2018 midterms. Duffy’s analysis appears to be based on polling showing Brown with a 4- to 5-point lead over Bue

The haze in the hills that wreathe the Rogue Valley is primarily from pollutants such as car exhaust and smoke from wood stoves and prescribed burns trapped by an inversion, and not from wildfire smoke, weather officials said. The last three days have seen “pretty strong” inversions, meteorologist Shad Keene said, citing a 20-degree average temperature difference between the surface and about 1,000 feet above the ground. “None of the pollutants that we’re generating here in the valley are leavin

Forget the smoke, forget the elbow room, and take a look at housing prices. At least in the eyes of one economist, who is a member of the California Treasurer’s economic advisory council and who appears on CNN, Southern Oregon and the upper reaches of Northern California are among the last bastions of affordable housing on the West Coast. “You look across the West and how overpriced things are, and people are looking for a West Coast experience that they can still afford,” Christopher Thornberg

The Jackson County Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized $6.56 million from the county’s general fund today to purchase more than 47 acres of property near the sheriff's office for the next jail. “I think we got a really good purchase,” County Administrator Danny Jordan said. “It’s zoned properly, there’s not residential, they’re not going to have competing interests, we should have very little pushback on it.” The property is off major corridors, and the property will be near a bypass c

Oregonians will decide Nov. 6 whether they want to remain a sanctuary state. Ballot Measure 105, a statewide initiative, would strike an Oregon law that since 1987 has prevented local and state law enforcement agencies from arresting people suspected only of violating federal immigration law. Supporters say the measure would untie local law enforcement’s hands, but opponents worry it’ll erode immigrant communities’ trust in local police, and lead to the profiling that sparked the law’s near-unan
