Major wildfires have brought evacuations to South Salem each of the past three years. @CapiLynn and I dived into why this area is so fire prone, the cause of the fires and what's being done (or not). Story: tinyurl.com/2p83zz7c

Karissa and Billy Fretwell never had a chance to finish their own stories. Reporters at the @Salem_Statesman wanted to show readers they were more than just a grisly headline. @CapiLynn @vbarreda2 @wmwoodworth @USATODAY @dallasorschools @SalemPoliceDept @chemeketa @WOUnews
Karissa wanted a better life for Billy, and to give him a chance to know his father. Neither would happen.
Almost a year after she filed for child support, they disappeared. Weeks later, their bodies were found.
Now, Wolfe awaits trial in their murders.

This is the biggest nonconference regular-season win in @oregonfootball history. Bigger than the win at Michigan in 2007. Notice I said, regular-season nonconference, not bowl games.

To my surprise, earlier tonight I got a call from Jim Walker, who just resigned from his post as the state's fire marshal
He told me he was placed on paid leave for searching for people on behalf of an employee in fire-torn Santiam Canyon #OregonFires #orpol
"I can't in good faith work in a system that's non-supportive to what I see as needing to be provided to our firefighters on the ground," former State Fire Marshal Jim Walker said. bit.ly/2ZxFPiJ

I clarified this but the Santiam Fire includes the Beachie Creek Fire acres. They're being managed as one unit

Whether you're happy or bummed that mid-Valley didn't see much ❄️this morning, here's some snow blower action courtesy of employee, Shane Jansen. Rotary snow blowers are used for heavier snow, so many of us don't really get to see these much, but they're pretty cool in action.
