There’s the woman who spoke only Spanish and lost shelter after violating a rule that wasn’t communicated in her native tongue. There’s the Black man who sought shelter but was denied because of his appearance.These are among a handful of others she can't forget.

    Dear lovely readers,For almost three years you have read my reporting in the Albany Democrat-Herald and Corvallis Gazette-Times. This will be one of the last pieces you read in your local paper with my byline. I hope you enjoyed our time together as much as I did. I think when I look back on my years at the Democrat-Herald it will be like remembering a first love. For a very long time, I wanted to be a writer, then to be a journalist.

Shelly Boshart Davis, R-Albany, joined the Tuesday Feb. 4 Board of Commissioners meeting by telephone to relay an update on House Bill 3119, which seeks a delay in the rollout of various efforts to reduce diesel emissions. Boshart Davis, who owns Boshart trucking based in Linn County, is a chief sponsor of the bill, which would pause the clean truck rules until 2027.
