Good evening, sharp-eyed readers.
My older brother once had a T-shirt that read: “I yell because I care” (from which I will infer he cared about me very much). It came to mind yesterday after we sent the Lookout PM newsletter and within minutes our inbox was pinging with emails (one written in ALL CAPS!!!) admonishing us on the typo in our subject line. Sorry about that. And thank you. I can tell you care.
OK, let’s move forward:
- Today, Ben Botkin reports the state of Oregon has finalized incentives that will save Sierra Pacific Industries $6 million in property taxes over the next 15 years, to encourage a $253 million upgrade at its sawmill on Highway 99.
- The City Club of Eugene is hosting a timely discussion on immigration and deportation at its free public forum Friday. The panel discussion will feature attorneys, academics and a local immigrant advocate.
- The Park Street Cafe, just off the Park Blocks in downtown Eugene, is under new ownership and has been renamed Park Street Family Cafe, to reflect its new emphasis on family-friendly food and community.
- And finally, a bit of in-house news: Lookout Eugene-Springfield has added a photojournalist. UO alum Isaac Wasserman hit the ground running this past weekend. You may have seen his images of Oregon Country Fair. Learn more about him in Executive Editor Dann Miller’s column.
