Olympic adjustments
“Don’t tell me,” reporter Kyle Odegard said. I had asked him Wednesday afternoon if he wanted to know the outcome of the Olympic women’s beach volleyball championship. Kyle doesn’t want to hear any of the results. He won’t look at Twitter, listen to the radio, or look at the AP Olympics coverage on our websites....
Always an athlete and still a coach
When John Radetich stopped by the Gazette-Times to talk with me Tuesday, he had just come from one of his twice-a-week sand volleyball games at Chintimini Park. At 63 and nearly 6-foot-3, he’s in good shape. Always has been. When the winter rolls around, he’ll be telemark skiing on Marys Peak every chance he get....

Predictably out on a platypus limb once again: Beavers by 3
For years, I’ve identified with the animal that looks like a duck and a beaver. I don’t know if the Platypus Club exists, but I consider myself a member of it. I like the Ducks and the Beavers, about equally so. I graduated from the University of Oregon in 1975 and love my alma mater,...

Friday night lights and a fun live blog
We’ve done multimedia at high school football games over the past five years. In 2006, we created sound slides, combining voice recordings with slide shows. They were wonderful but extremely time consuming.
Honored to be knocked down by Lebanon QB Ben Duerr
For the past four years, I've shot video from the sidelines of high school stadiums around the mid-valley and had many close calls with receivers and running backs. On Friday might, my nearly 42-year stretch of not being knocked down on a football field came to an end.

A new eight-lane, rubberized asphalt track will make it a perfect site for future district and multiple-team track meets. The new turf field...
