TODAY’S DEATH NOTICES & OBITUARIES
PUZZLES | EVENTS CALENDAR
Good Friday morning,
Apparently I caused some frustration yesterday for some Morning Lookout readers when I wrote about the day after Election Day being Wednesday, but feeling like a Friday. Which I maintain is correct, but since I wrote that in a Morning Lookout that was sent on a Thursday, well, let’s just say a few people were confused.
If you were not confused yesterday, there’s a good chance that my explanation confused you today. So to anyone who read has read Morning Lookout and couldn’t quite figure out what I wrote: I’m sorry.
The good news is that today is Friday. The week has come to a merciful end.
Ashli Blow has been reporting on the pollution at Trainsong Park for a while. Today, she reports that the six-week public comment period on Eugene’s proposed plan to address chemical contamination is open. Check out the options and find out how to submit your comments.
Earlier in his career, Eugene Springfield Fire Chief Mike Caven helped implement firefighter-specific physical exams that include cancer screenings to catch occupational health issues. Last year, he was diagnosed with blood cancer. In March, he will go to Seattle to compete in the annual firefighter stair climb in Columbia Tower, which is 69 stories, to raise awareness and money for blood cancer research. Grace Chinowsky has his story.
Adam Fullick transitioned from circus performer to Broadway actor, bringing his aerial skills to the Hult Center as part of the “Water for Elephants” cast. Leo Heffron talks with the British actor and previews the acrobatics and puppets you will see on stage.
Have a great weekend.
