Exploring the Salem area in spring feels a little like landing in Oz.
The city comes alive with color in the springtime, as flowers pop up in public parks, formal gardens, and at nurseries and farms around the area. It’s enough to make Salem not only Oregon’s state capital, but the garden capital of Oregon as well.
Expand your vision from Salem proper to include the nearby towns of Silverton, Monmouth, Brooks and Dallas, and you have a veritable Garden of Eden at the heart of the Willamette Valley. What is it about the area that’s so good for gardens?

With the ongoing pandemic, many in-person activities have been moved to a virtual format. One of those activities is court. The Murray State mock trial team got a taste of virtual court in their most recent tournament.
The mock trial team participated in a tournament of around eight schools and competed against four of them on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28.
Mock trial is an imitation of a court trial. It gives participants a play-by-play of how a court trial moves and operates and participants take on roles such as plaintiff, defendant and attorneys.
For Murray State, mock trial is both a class and a club taught and led by Associate Professor of political science Paul Foote.
