To the elected public executive running for re-election — whether mayor, governor or president — there remain just two alternative campaign strategies to victory: the High Road or the Low Road.
Candidate touting the wrong kind of experience
published: 8/28/2012 3:55:55 PM

Aug. 11 guest opinion: Oregon’s minimum wage is pricing teens out of the job market
published: 8/10/2012 11:26:45 AM
Oregon’s minimum wage laws are changing our economy, and it doesn’t seem to be for the better. When analyzing Monthly Current Population Survey data from the Census Bureau for 2012, it is suspicious that we are behind the rest of the nation in teen employment, while our lowest paid workers are paid the second highest in the country.
Aug. 15 staff column: Farewell and don’t forget to use your blinker
published: 8/14/2012 3:31:05 PM

Aug. 8 staff column: Goodbye journalism, hello law school
published: 8/7/2012 1:48:31 PM

Dear Colin: My husband’s knee has been hurting him more and more over the past four months after he fell down skiing. He refuses to see his doctor because he insists “nothing is wrong,” but he isn’t doing the usual things he likes (such as playing basketball or golf) and is walking with a noticeable limp.

published: 8/3/2012 3:39:47 PM
In the wake of yet another well-armed madman killing and maiming innocent Americans, we are again rediscovering the malign influence of the NRA (correctly described by Alan Berlow as the “criminals lobby”).

Aug. 4 Editorial: Support Newberg’s Olympic athletes
published: 8/3/2012 3:41:55 PM
Thanks to the United States’ relatively low profile on the world javelin scene and the sport’s low rung on the priority list of average Olympic fans, Newbergers Cyrus Hostetler and Rachel Yurkovich aren’t expected to receive much, if any, live television coverage as they throw the javelin this week in London.
Aug. 8 editorial: Goodbye to Laurent and Amanda
published: 8/7/2012 1:44:31 PM

published: 8/17/2012 3:32:10 PM

published: 8/14/2012 3:29:32 PM
Hours after it became apparent that something had gone horribly awry at a Dundee home July 4, but before the details of what actually happened became clear, a Charles Street resident commented that maybe she should get to know her neighbors a bit better.
Aug. 22 editorial: Don't call this swimmer `disabled'
published: 8/21/2012 12:15:55 PM

Business takes harsh turn in Newberg
published: 8/28/2012 3:56:13 PM
We are one of the first to understand that business is sometimes harsh; after all, the newspaper business has had its share of layoffs.
