Oregon’s Environmental Quality Commission has voted to designate Crater Lake and Waldo Lake as Outstanding Resource Waters. The special recognition provides state protections by preventing activities that could potentially harm water quality at either lake.
The commission, which oversees the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, voted 4-0 Thursday for the new designations.
In announcing the recognition, Oregon DEQ Director Richard Whitman said “Crater Lake and Waldo Lake are unique and invaluable treasures for Oregonians and the world. Their crystal clear clean waters represent the best of Oregon’s natural beauty. By designating the lakes as Outstanding Resource Waters, Oregon s Environmental Quality Commission is assuring that these special places will remain unspoiled for present and future generations.” ....

Prevents activities that could potentially harm their crystal clear waters
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) Two remarkably clear and internationally known bodies of water in Oregon – Crater Lake and Waldo Lake – now have additional state protections, after action taken Thursday by the Environmental Quality Commission.

Letter to the Editor: Letter: Prayer was offensive (1/8/21)

Dear Editors:
I believe congratulations may be in order for United States Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (MO District 5). He has singularly demonstrated the ability to offend everyone possible while reciting what he deemed to be a politically correct prayer calling for unity.
On Jan. 3, 2021 Representative Cleaver, as guest chaplain, delivered the opening prayer for the 117th United States Congress. The last lines of his deliberately thought out speech were .WE ASK IT IN THE NAME OF THE MONOTHEISTIC GOD AND THE GOD KNOWN BY MANY NAMES AND FAITHS. AMEN AND AWOMAN.
Notice first of all, he managed to claim there is a God (offending atheists and agnostics), but there is only one (monotheistic) God (offending pluralists and many eastern and African religions) and then in the exact same sentence acknowledge at least one other God who apparently goes by many different names (offending monotheists). Butthe real reason for applause is his unwitting ability to lite ....

On a damp night in November 2019, dozens of residents packed into the local firehouse in Corbett, Oregon, a town about 30 miles outside of Portland. Water manager Jeff Busto told the crowd that logging had devastated a creek that provided part of the town’s drinking water supply.
A timber company had clear-cut thousands of trees along the creek, leaving only a thin strip standing between the town’s drinking water and recently flattened land strewned with debris. A single row of trees was left on either side to protect it from mud, herbicides and summer sun. After many of those trees were bowled over by wind, th ....
