Ever wonder if the McKenzie area shares the underpinnings that have made the Willamette, Umpqua, and Columbia valleys famous for wine making? You’re not alone in that thinking, and McKenzie Crest Wines has been making it a reality. In 2015 close friends, Dan Perkins and Chris Freytag decided to follow their dreams of grape production and quality wine making. They planted a small vineyard of Maréchal Foch - a hybrid French-American grape - along the McKenzie River. The result they say, was “an experiment that went very, very right.” The fledgl...
Leaburg Dam has provided a sense of security since it was built in 1928. With a road on top, it provides access to the south bank of the river for residential property owners, a commercial blueberry farm, the Leaburg Fish Hatchery, a boat launch, and Lloyd Knox Park. Homeowners say they always felt pretty secure, echoed by one who feels “living on Leaburg Lake is a dream come true.” In a report that dominated the Eugene Water & Electric Board’s December 6, 2022 meeting the utility’s general manager called for permanently discontinuing electri...
Last Friday night I was caught with another woman by my girlfriend. When my longtime girlfriend came to my house, I told her I was going to bed early.

She cursed me up and down and told me she wanted to hit me. After about 30 minutes of that, she left. On the way out she keyed my car. Then the other lady had her say. Mostly she...

Numbers from the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire were bleak: 173,393 acres burned, 1,100 structures lost (including approximately 470 homes), and over $160 million in damages.

Much of which could not have happened without the support of volunteers who themselves had also suffered losses. Recovery has come about in many forms in the months and years since the fire. Along the McKenzie River there are sever...

I've known my best friend for six years. Initially, I thought she was a great person who was there for me in times of crisis. As time went by I noticed she was very competitive with others, and then I saw she was most competitive with me. She will ask what I am wearing, then wear something shorter or more low-cut. She sees me in something, then buys that exact item. She copies phrases I say and repeats facts from me and claims them as her own. When we were in college, she constantly tried to one...
When David Tuttle's Airbnb host moves him to a different rental, Airbnb offers to cover his hotel expenses. Where's the money? I booked an Airbnb in Las Vegas recently. Just before I checked in, the host did a bait-and-switch, sending me to a different address from the one on the property listing. The new location was not clean and not comparable to the original listing. I also felt unsafe. I called Airbnb customer service that night and sent them some pictures and video of the location. I...

My husband and I moved very fast to get married. On my end, I was lost and lonely after my former fiancé was killed in an accident. I wanted to be close to someone again. I dated my husband 12 months after my fiancé's death, and six months later, we were married. That was ten months ago. I was never a "must be in a relationship" type of woman. But I was unfortunate after losing my fiancé and having to let go of the dreams I had for our life together. I believe this is why I jumped so qu...
