Last week, on Friday I believe, there was a top story on KATU news about a boy who was hit by a drunk driver after saving his friend. Kameron Howell-Meeker was walking down River Rd. in Milwaukie, Ore., when he heard some screeching and saw that a pick-up truck was swerving and heading directly for him and the girl (Ellie) he was walking with.

We may be drying out a bit they say and I'm sure we'd all enjoy that as this rain/sunshine mix has made the grass grow so fast that it's hard to keep...

MIXED WEATHER--Folks went to bed last Wednesday night with a little standing water but by Thursday morning, it was overflowing everywhere with some driveways underwater and the high streams running a mucky brown color.

By Saturday night, the downpours returned and very early on Sunday morning, I thought we were...
