On June 20 an Orange County, Florida Walmart employee was assaulted by a customer who refused to wear a mask despite a county-wide executive order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. It is one of many disputes that have erupted in recent weeks over mask mandates from various state and local governments as well as individual businesses. The potential for customer conflicts is one of many risks businesses assume as they try to reopen and comply with public health guidelines and local and state law. 'Businesses have had many new requirements imposed on them and a number of their customers do not want to comply with them. It puts businesses between a rock and a hard place.' -Ralph Chapa,...

Picture this: You’re online watching an artist create; seeing him sketch faint lines over a large piece of paper and fill in the shapes with washes of color. You’re inspired. You have an idea for the piece. Maybe it’s something you’ve created yourself, or maybe you just wish the artist would add it in for you. You want to be a part of this project. And so you get on the phone, or you send an email, or you scan in your drawing, or you type your thought into the provided chat window — and as you watch, the artist takes your idea and makes it a part of the work. Welcome to “Art for All,” an artist-in-residency partnership sponsored by Corvallis agencies Cornerstone Associates and the Disability...

A little over a month ago, a woman who did not identify herself left a message for the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce. “She was very lovely and she said, ‘Yes, I think it would be nice if Lebanon had a drive-in theater. Thank you,’” said Rebecca Grizzle, executive director of the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce. Grizzle shared the voicemail with Chamber President Tom Oliver. “He said, ‘You know, we really could,'” Grizzle recalled. They recruited Kris Latimer, the executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Santiam, and the idea for a joint fundraiser this summer was born. The two organizations are hosting MotorVu at Cheadle Lake Park throughout the month of July. The series...

Market of Choice employees balk at company's stance on Black Lives Matter masks

Market of Choice claims it supports the Black Lives Matter movement. But apparently not when it comes to its employees and their choice of protective masks while on duty. The supermarket chain’s decision to not allow Black Lives Matter face coverings while on the clock has resulted in a manager of the Corvallis store being out of a job and employees and community members protesting outside the Northwest Circle Boulevard store and other locations. This comes after a June 12 social media post by Rick Wright, Market of Choice’s CEO, who acknowledged the recent focus on racial bias in the United States and urged that steps be taken to remove it from the country. “At Market of Choice, we stand...

The Oregon State Police, which has provided law enforcement services on the Corvallis campus since 1989, declared in October that it was ending the contract in the wake of criticism from OSU leadership over the arrest of a Black student who refused to show ID after being stopped for riding her bike on the wrong side of the street.

Editorial: Corvallis shouldn’t spend taxpayer funds to save the Van Buren Bridge

We won’t deny the charms of the century-old Van Buren Bridge in Corvallis. We have often admired this majestic span whilst stuck in a traffic jam. To be fair, the one-lane bridge is even more beautiful when you’re approaching it from below, on the Willamette River, perhaps on an inner tube moving far faster than the bottleneck up above during rush hour — or more accurately, the rush two-and-a-half hours that occurs every weekday near the structure. Mid-valley residents, including workers who drive back and forth between Albany and Corvallis, know about the congestion and have planned accordingly for decades. Avoid the one-lane bridge or accept the bumper-to-bumper traffic. While the Van...
