DROWNING SEASON IS HERE
June 1, 2015Two young men died over the weekend in the water—one at Detroit Lake, and one at Wildwood Falls, near Cottage Grove. An 18-year old senior at Sprague High School was swimming across the river at Detroit Lake when he went under. His friends found him, pulled him out, and started CPR. He died the next day at a local hospital. A U of O student died when he jumped from the top of Wildwood Falls and did not surface. Rescuers say at this time of year, be mindful of currents, the cold water, and the distance you plan to swim. And when jumping, know what you’re jumping into.

The indictment talks about an unnamed American sportswear company and a 1996 deal to outfit the Brazilian team. Nike did that deal and even bragged about it. If it was a crooked deal, it was apparently done between crooked officials and crooked sports marketing companies——so——–Nike may not have known about it. Nike says it never knowingly paid bribes, and is cooperating with investigators.

MAN WANTS PENDLETON TO BAN FARTS
May 26, 2015One Peter Walter in Pendleton has written the city council, asking it to ban smelly farts. It is probably a piece of political commentary, since he made the request after the council added the strong smell of marijuana to the city’s nuisance code. Walter says if the city is going after bad smells, farts are the next logical step. An anonymous source says if a fart ban is not carefully worded regarding animal farts, it could severely hamper the annual Pendleton Roundup Rodeo.
