Good morning, Hillsboro.

Oregon lawmakers approved changes to the state’s bottle redemption law last Wednesday that let redemption sites stop accepting container returns after 8 p.m.—a move meant to ease issues with drugs and homelessness while keeping the recycling program intact.

The new rules give retailers and nonprofits more options to handle returns, especially in busy areas.

Tigard’s Jennings Oelke finished second behind Lake Oswego’s Drew Woolworth at the OSAA 6A Boys State Golf Championships held at OGA Golf Course in Woodburn from May 19-20 — Woolworth recorded an 11-under par total to win the individual title while Oelke ended with a 3-under score. Tigard’s team finished fifth in the tournament, trailing the winning team by 10 shots.

Last week, it was announced that the Trail Blazers are for sale as required by former owner Paul Allen’s will – the team is expected to be sold within the next two years, which many fans hope will bring renewed energy and a push for championships.

A new owner may steer the franchise away from years of unexciting play toward a more competitive future.
