- A young black bear took an unexpected swim across the Piscataqua River and into Kittery on Saturday -- and it was caught on camera.
Kittery Harbormaster John Brosnihan said he got a call about a bear in the water, swimming across the border from New Castle, New Hampshire, toward Kittery.
Brosnihan said he took his boat out and saw, "the bear's little head sticking out of the water, and he was swimming toward Fort McClary."
“He just kept swimming, so I turned on my emergency lights and just kind of kept boats away and followed him in, and we got to the shoreline,” Brosnihan said.

Eugene PD has installed a new reporting tool to MyPDConnect to track complaints and pinpoint locations where illegal e-moto and e-bike/e-scooter behavior is happening.
You can report e-motos, speeding, and reckless behavior anywhere in Eugene at MyPDConnect: Eugene Police Department Online Reporting - MyPDConnect.
Regardless of what you ride, the speed limit on bike paths is 20 mph. When others are present, the suggested speed is 12 mph and this applies to all path users. Eugene PD notes that e-motos are in the same category as dirt bikes,...

- Description
- With the temperatures starting to rise, Greenhill Humane Society reminds people about the importance of keeping pets safe this summer.
When it comes to furry family members, remember:
Leave pets at home when running errands. Leaving your animal in a parked car, even for just a few minutes, can easily cause heat stroke or brain damage. A car's interior temperature can increase in minutes, even with the windows slightly open. Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat stress because they do not sweat in the way that humans do; they release body heat by panting.
Keep pets inside during the heat of the day; do not leave them outside unattended. Many homes in Lane County don't have air conditioning, but there are still good ways to keep your pet comfortable. Move pets to the coolest room or the lowest floor of the house. Close blinds or curtains to keep the house cool. Consider a fan, a cooling mat, or a damp towel spread on the floor to give them a cool s...

- Fifty-seven years ago, three Eugene teenagers piled into a van and headed north.
Not for a vacation or a road trip, but for an adventure that would shape the rest of their lives.
In the summer of 1969, Greg Theim, Gary Gleaves and Ty Pierce left Oregon for Alaska shortly after graduating from high school. The friends, who have known each other since seventh grade, set out with little more than determination and a sense of adventure.
At 17 years old, they traveled without smartphones, GPS or any guarantee they would find work when they arrived.
"They actually discouraged us," Theim recalled. "They said the jobs are for local people, but we were persistent."

"More than 475,000 unaccompanied children entered the United States during the Biden administration," Attorney General Todd Blanche said during a news conference. "The way this happened was typically because the criminals calling themselves 'sponsors' trafficked these children to the border, usually committing fraud to do so, and oftentimes the children were abused, assaulted, and certainly exploited."
Blanche explained that in some cases, a person would sponsor multiple children, require them to lie to the government and claim they were close relatives.

We caught up with Aaron Orlowski, spokesperson for EWEB, to learn more about what you can expect.
We also share simple ways to save money during the heat:
• Raise your thermostat by 1–2 degrees
• Seal drafts to keep cool air inside
• Use fans or open windows when possible
• Look into rebates for energy-efficient heat pumps
For those without AC, we discuss alternatives like cooling centers and nighttime ventilation strategies.

Rabbi Linda is part of the first generation of Sofrot, female Torah scribes. Today, there are only 16 women who have helped write a Torah scroll.
But, to get her hands on scribal materials, she couldn’t just walk into an orthodox shop, as the vendors wouldn’t knowingly sell to a woman scribe.
So, she turned to her own backyard and decided to make her own parchment from scratch.
Through her Community Torah Project, Linda has invited ordinary people to help her stretch and sand down deerskin — mostly sourced from local hunters — as well as proofread text and sew panels together.
Today, more than 4,500 people have assisted her and their names are now logged in history.
