Good morning, everyone.
Well, we need to talk about ourselves for just a moment.
- First of all, (hey, wake up, Ducks fans!) longtime sports journalist Tyson Alger โ who covered the University of Oregon Ducks for The Oregonian and The Athletic, before launching a Substack called The I-5 Corridor โ has joined the staff of Lookout Eugene-Springfield. And, yes, he’ll be writing about Ducks athletics. Executive Editor Dann Miller has a column today welcoming Tyson.
- Second, in four months of existence, Lookout Eugene-Springfield has hit a million page views. Check out founder Ken Doctor’s column today for some more news about what we are up to overall.
OK, thanks for indulging that bit of horn-tooting. We humbly return to the regular news:
- Contributing editor Mike McInally obtained a copy of an investigation of the Lane Community College board by an outside attorney. It substantiates several complaints of abusive behavior by board members, mostly Zach Mulholland.
- The nonprofit SquareOne Villages is planning a 44-unit affordable housing co-op on a former church property in the River Road neighborhood.
- Six new student apartment buildings that have risen near UO have added some 2,000 beds. Not all tenants are completely happy with their digs.
- Annie Aguiar sits down with the outgoing boss of Lane Arts Council for her reflections on her tenure and a look at what’s ahead.
- And then there is Petunia, the Eugene canine named the “World’s Ugliest Dog.” Grace Chinowsky talked with Lisel Wilhardt, founder and executive director of Eugeneโs Luvable Dog Rescue, about what’s next for the pup.
