Vandalism hit a Holocaust memorial in Portland, Oregon, where police said they found spray-painted anti-Semitic symbols on the memorial and throughout the neighborhood Sunday morning.
Swastikas among other graffiti desecrated the Oregon Holocaust Memorial in Washington Park as the Portland Police Bureau currently investigate the incident. The damage to the Oregon Holocaust Memorial is heartbreaking, and it s particularly painful that it happened during Jewish American Heritage Month. I denounce hate crimes, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy, Portland s Mayor Ted Wheeler wrote on Twitter Monday.

An epitaph for Portland s Alpenrose Dairy April 20 2021
Despite talk of keeping open the Little League fields, velodrome, Dairyville and more, the venue may be closed forever.
Two years ago, a bitter intra-family struggle broke out publicly and in the courts over the future of Alpenrose Dairy, a popular Southwest Portland business that had been a community fixture for 130 years.
It wasn t just a dairy. It was a Christmastime car-ride tradition for families, a haven for serious bicyclists, a regular haunt for ESPN camera crews and national Little League tournaments, and more. For generations of metro-area families, it was woven into the fabric of their lives.

While speaking with
Newsweek, Elizabeth Lattanner, a spokesperson for Portland General Electric (PGE), explained that electrical crews have been able to restore power to more than 566,000 customers, but about 98,000 remain without power.
According to Lattanner, Portland General Electric has repaired 32 transmission lines, 27 substations and 226 feeders, but nine transmission lines and 11 feeders still need to be repaired and restored. The destruction and damage to kind of every aspect of our system was significant. The storm was unprecedented and came in three waves which created its own set of challenges as we restored power in one area, another area would be impacted and some customers experienced multiple outages because of the multiple waves, Lattanner said, adding that the city has not seen a storm like this in the past 40 years.
