New recruits will report for fall practice, but these rookies are not likely to seriously affect Continue reading Spring’s Sprung, Warfare Now More Predictable 
By Fred Delkin Nez Perce tribal leader, the legendary Chief Joseph, uttered a compelling endorsement to his homeland in the late 19th century…”I love that land more than all the rest of the world.” National magazine Country features this northeast Oregon region in its current issue and reminds this writer of why we were Continue reading National Publication Features Oregon’s Northeast Corner 
Decanting with Delkin By Fred Delkin We’re old enough to remember when wine production was more dream than reality on the Oregon agricultural scene. No more! The state’s wine industry has more than doubled its economic impact since 2005, boasts more than 450 wineries and is attracting major vineyard creation by outside financial Continue reading Oregon Wine Investment Maintains Growth & Profit 
By Fred Delkin The Vikings are on the move…the Portland State Vikings that is, who already boast the highest enrollment for Oregon institutions of higher learning. The downtown campus is now gathering funds for a $50 million expansion of current facilities at Stott Center, to be titled the Viking Pavilion. This project will Continue reading Portland State Taking Next Expansion Move 
Decanting with Delkin By Fred Delkin The United States will never challenge Germany, Belgium or the Czech Republic as a national standard-bearer for beer quality, since our major brewers pump out an overwhelming quantity of nationally advertised sour soda water…yes, we mean you, Anheuser Busch, SABMiller and Coors! Yet, state by Continue reading Oregon Awash With Craft Beer Producers 
By Jim Welsh The American people have spoken: America will continue to travel down the road to more government regulation and socialism and eventually will confront that point of choosing between serfdom or freedom. I think it will be serfdom, a serfdom dependant not on the lord of the manor but one dependent Continue reading Truths, Falsehoods & Aftermaths 
By Larry Leonard November 05, 2012 — You yell “Hello?” in an Oregon canyon, and a row of greetings echo back. Why more than one? Because the second echo is the reply to the first echo, the third to the second, and so on. The national and Oregon MSM (or “mainstream media”) is like that. Continue reading Dewey Defeats Truman !! (Famous late 1940′s newspaper stupid election headline. Truman won. ) 
By Art Hyland In what might be a prelude to the coming electoral storm nationally, there’s a new Oregon Republican state senator now in Salem.

By Fred Delkin It looks like Stanford will whip UCLA again and claim the Pac12 2012 title. The Cardinal foiled Oregon’s effort to win a fourth straight Pac12 crown, while also dashing the Ducks’ national championship aspirations. Webfoot fans now must settle for a Fiesta Bowlappearance, most likely against Kansas State. Despite being edged Continue reading Pigskin Pete: Stanford vs. UCLA (again) and Pac12 is a Wrap 
By Fred Delkin Best Duck team ever? Alabama coach Nick Saban must think so…his silly criticism of the spreading use of no-huddle, spread offenses, a Duck trademark, certifies that Saban feels threatened. He coaches a “huddle up and overpower ‘em” attack, the antithesis of Chip Kelly’s emphasis on speed. Halfway through this season, it looks Continue reading Pigskin Pete: Ducks Rest, Bevos Hurt, Sun Devils Threaten 
By Larry Leonard September 30, 2012 — It is the Year of our Enviro-Laird, Obama the Munificent, who has just declared economic success in what in Chicago would be called the Hood.

By Fred Delkin Finally! The date arrives for the rematch of the Pac12′s finest on national television screens before the favored throng that occupies Los Angeles Coliseum seats. For the Trojans, it offers a return to prominence…for the Ducks, revenge for a 2011 loss that squashed national title hopes. Southern Cal hosts Oregon Continue reading Pac12 Star Gladiators Stage Coliseum Battle 
by Jim Welsh Thursday, September 27, 2012 (Editor’s note: Jim Welsh, who wrote WE are Building it, Mr. President, is running for state representative in a remote district on the coast of northwest Oregon. It’s a pure grassroots campaign, with lots of personal contact. He writes a column in MooCountyNews from which this is excerpted. Recently he noticed the first election flyer mailed by his incumbent opponent. But he also noticed something else.) “That election flyer wasn’t really an election flyer. No, it was just a “routine” official newsletter from the Office of Oregon State Representative Deborah (“Deb”) Boone that was just coincidentally mailed out six weeks before your ballots arrive to your mail box.

By Fred Delkin Now it seems there’s but one team a favorite to take home the Pac12 title and a possible national championship contender.
