EOU puts shine on No. 1 ranking

EOU men’s basketball has reached lofty heights this winter. It seems appropriate that the Mountaineers find themselves on top of the NAIA Division II mountain with the first No. 1 ranking in program history.

 

Oregon remains magnet

Maybe the most surprising thing in a recent news story that identified Oregon as the second most popular moving destination in the United States is the revelation that Washington, D.C., placed first.

 

Road salt test needed

Face it. You can’t drive the same way in January as you do in June, especially in the Northeast Oregon mountains. Some drivers, however, seem to have not received the memo.

 

Highway project overdue

Wags say there are two seasons in Oregon — winter and road construction. Well, the next three road construction seasons will be especially noticed by drivers in the La Grande area.

 

Take concerns to heart

Elgin Emergency Medical Technician Tracy Christopher drew a telling picture of the needs of emergency medical services for the city council recently. Here’s hoping the governing body takes her concerns to heart and finds money in the city budget for upgrades.
 

Rescue effort daunting

Heroes don’t always swish 3-point shots at the buzzer, or throw touchdown passes.
 

Greenway project welcome

Many cities La Grande’s size and bigger, and a few quite a bit smaller, have river walks, which have the potential of attracting tourists to the area as well as giving locals a great place to recreate.
 

Story shows Union County at its best

La Grande and its surrounding communities have never been short on smart, energetic people filled with compassion. There’s a long list of volunteer-driven organizations, programs and activities that work for folks who have a less-than-even chance to share in the American Dream. 
 

EOU stands up against smoking

Oregon has a law that prohibits smoking in restaurants and bars. But the state is far from smoke free. Just walk down any city sidewalk and you’ll see collections of smokers out front of bars and restaurants enjoying a smoke.
 

Christmas trees, lighting pose hazard

Overeating isn’t the only hazard of Christmas.  Dried-out real trees and holiday lighting can also be post-holiday fire hazards, and with winter being the leading time for house fires, people need to properly store and dispose of seasonal decorations.
