A new bipartisan bill, the “Sunshine for Our Kids Act of 2026,” proposes making standard time permanent nationwide—keeping winter clocks year-round for better morning sunlight and health, even though it means earlier sunsets in summer. It also lets states opt into permanent daylight saving time if they choose, bypassing current federal roadblocks. While daylight saving time has been the focus lately, this bill flips the script—and could reshape how we experience daylight for generations.

Get ready for a heatwave that’s heating up fast—Portland could hit 100 degrees for the first time this year next weekend, as a major high-pressure ridge rolls in. While this week stays mild with temps in the 85-90s, keep an eye out for possible morning drizzle or showers Thursday. The real scorcher kicks in July 18-21—meteorologists are still fine-tuning the forecast, but the triple digits are definitely in the mix.

Yarmouth, Maine, is throwing down at Clam Fest — a throwback celebration where kids ride bikes, neighbors watch out for each other, and landlines still do the heavy lifting. Nestled far from the highway with walkable schools and trails, this idyllic town costs a fortune (average home: $600K+) but delivers unmatched community vibes. A housing committee’s slow push for affordability starts with 18 worker units behind Town Hall. Can’t live there? Still come for the fried clams, celebrity oyster shuckers, high school reunions, and local fundraisers — all under one sun-drenched roof.

Meet Nutmeg, the legendary 19-year-old cat who turned a Portland CVS into his purr-fect kingdom—greeting customers, stealing hearts, and becoming an honorary employee. Cuddly, beloved, and fiercely loyal, he defied store policy (and sanitary concerns) to bring joy to shoppers and staff alike. Though Oregon law and CVS’s pet-free rules kept him out officially, his presence was anything but optional. When he passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones, the community mourned a true neighborhood icon—proof that sometimes, the best employees wear fur.

A small brush fire near the South Santiam River in Lebanon sparked Sunday evening, covering just over an acre—but that didn’t stop firefighters from deploying creative tactics, including a portable pump drawing water directly from the river. To prevent spread, Oregon’s Department of Forestry brought in a dozer to dig a containment trench. Crews battled the blaze for nearly three hours, ensuring every ember was extinguished. Officials are still investigating the cause, but they’re warning everyone to stay vigilant amid hot, dry, and windy conditions—because even a tiny spark from a cigarette, vehicle, or carelessness can ignite a wildfire fast.
