their cases to the state Energy Facility Siting Council last week at a

Wallowa County folks seem to understand that if you live at the end of

Monmouth. After graduating in 1974, however, he landed a job with Union
Pacific Railroad, where he has worked ever since.

The Santa Mall has become one of our area’s greatest Christmas
traditions. And for good reason. It gives children a chance to make sure
they can buy gifts for their loved ones — even if they don’t have the
resources to do so.
