It has Been Two Weeks!
On Saturday, I posted the picture above to celebrate "In the News" two week anniversary. When I began
this page, I was not quite sure how it would work out. As of this morning
275 of you guys have liked it, and I wanted to tell you thanks so
much.
Okay, now I am wondering what you guys
want to see on here. I was, and am, concentrating on the very local
news, the things that we in La Pine and Surrounding Areas don't always
hear about.
Then I started to find some interesting
stuff that wasn't really around here, but not too far away ... like the
story of Leaburg Lake's power plant being fixed, with a picture of the
drained lake, thank you to McKenzie River Reflections and KMTR ... click here for the news story with more photos.
At
first, I didn't post about the wreck on 1-84, because I figured that
lots of folks knew about it already, since it was big news. But, that
post so far has had 276 views! The most ever on here for one post.
Thanks to KVAL in Eugene and Facebook for making it easy to share. Here is the updated link posted yesterday which includes a video: "Just click here to watch it."
I also learned that all of the Wendy's in Eugene and Springfield are closing down. Click here to read more about that.
What kinds of things interest you guys? Do you want more Pacific NW info?
I am just one person here. No budget. I know that I am going to miss stuff. I
have been working hard and having fun, but if you can give me some input
on what matters to you, that would be great.

Super Bowl News:
Seattle beat Green Bay 28 - 22 in overtime yesterday.
New England beat Indianapolis 45 - 7.
But now they are under investigation for
under-inflating the footballs. Hmmm.
Super Bowl Sunday this year is on February 1st and the game begins at 3:30, at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Go, HAWKS!!

I wasn't on the scanner very much this weekend. Things were very busy though. People were very concerned about a vehicle pulled over near the La Pine transfer station with 5 or 6 police cars on Saturday evening. I am still trying to find out more about that.

One thing leads to another.
I was trying to find out info on what happened on Saturday night on HWY 97 next to the transfer station in La Pine. There were reports of one car, with one person in it surrounded by 5 or 6 cop cars. Right after that, @CentralORScan posted that OSP's SWAT team was called out, but I was unclear of if they were going to this incident or not.
So, anyway, I was on OSP's website, and found this old ODOT Hwy Map from 1926, and then a link to current maps all over Oregon: City, State, Highway and more. Here is the link if this is something that you are interested in. ODOT Statewide Maps.
If you know about the incident on Saturday night, please fill us in. Thanks!
