This interview is with Bruce Felix of Pacific Winemaking. In this interview, Bruce explains how he transitioned into the wine industry and his thoughts on the future of Oregon wine. Bruce talks about working in petrochemicals and paint after he moved to Australia with an exchange student. Not only did Bruce sell petrochemicals, he also sold tartaric acid to winemakers, sparking his initial interest in wine. Through these jobs, Bruce was able to travel all over the world and try different wines. It was when his friend moved into the wine industry and started a wine supply company that Bruce made the switch into the industry as well. This company is known as Vinvicta Services.Bruce discusses how he ended up in the Oregon wine industry specifically. In 2005, Bruce wanted to come back to the United States for family and was looking for a place to settle. It turns out, Oregon was the perfect fit, so he started his current company, Pacific Winemaking, in March of 2006. He began the services as a one-man operation which has grown significantly over the years. This year, Pacific Winemaking celebrates 20 years of business. Later in the interview, Bruce talks about the future of the industry. He believes that people are not done drinking wine and that wine will always have a place. He explains that wineries need to tailor-make their production and get rid of the backlog of product from overproduction. Bruce also emphasizes using new technology within the industry. He discusses how a lot of new technology is trailed in Europe, but not the United States. His company would like to introduce these tactics to the Unites States to improve production.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Bruce's home in Hillsboro on June 8, 2026.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get your Hosea Scripture Journal now. Our shout-out today goes to Merle Wiseman from Hillsboro, MO. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. Listen to our text today, Hosea 2:14-17: "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her. And there I will give her her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt. "And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me 'My Husband,' and no longer will you call me 'My Baal.' For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more. — Hosea 2:14-17 Right when you expect judgment to continue… God changes tone. "Therefore… I will allure her." After exposing Israel's spiritual adultery, God does something unexpected. He pursues her. "I will bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her." The wilderness is where God often rebuilds his people. Israel learned dependence there after leaving Egypt. Moses encountered God there. Elijah heard God there. The wilderness strips away distractions. It removes false securities. It exposes what you actually trust. And that is exactly where God takes Israel again. Then comes a surprising promise: "I will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope." The Valley of Achor was one of the darkest moments in Israel's early history. After the fall of Jericho, a man named Achan secretly stole devoted treasures. Because of his hidden sin, Israel suffered defeat and judgment until the sin was exposed and dealt with (Joshua 7:24–26). The place where Israel once experienced trouble and discipline became known as the Valley of Achor. And now God says something remarkable. That same place of failure… That same place of judgment… That same place will become a door of hope. This is how God works. He redeems what once represented rebellion. He restores what was broken. Then comes the deeper promise: "You will call me 'My Husband,' and no longer will you call me 'My Baal.'" Baal meant "master." It reflected a distant, transactional relationship. But God wants something different. He wants covenant love. Not religious duty. Not surface-level loyalty. Real devotion. And this is where the passage confronts you. If God is allowing a wilderness season in your life—loss, disruption, correction, exposure—you may assume something has gone wrong. But sometimes God brings you into the wilderness because he is calling you back. He removes the idols. He exposes the compromises. He strips away the things you trust more than him. Not to destroy you. But to restore you. So if you find yourself in a difficult season right now. If God is closing doors… he might be using it to open a door of hope. Your wilderness is often where God rebuilds the hearts that wandered. DO THIS: Identify one difficult area in your life right now and ask God how he might be using it to draw you closer to him. ASK THIS: Where have you seen God turn past failures into future hope? What "wilderness seasons" has God used in Scripture to shape his people? What might God be trying to reveal or rebuild in your life right now? PRAY THIS: Father, help me trust you even in the wilderness. Turn my places of trouble into doors of hope and draw my heart back to you. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Returning"

Oregon's Office of Economic Analysis released the State's June 2026 Economic and Revenue Forecast on Wednesday, May 20. The news is mixed, with challenges remaining from slowing wage growth, softening labor conditions, and more persistent inflation pressures amid geopolitical uncertainty and elevated energy prices. Contributors to State revenue growth were strong financial markets, capital gains collections, and a partial disconnect from the federal tax code in response to the federal tax cuts included in HR 1.State School Fund allocations come from combined General Fund and Lottery dollars, so those revenue streams are the ones we watch most closely. Since the March 2026 Forecast, General Fund resources are up $345 million and Lottery resources are up $35.2 million, for a combined increase of $380.2 million. These revenue streams are up $30.8 million since the Close of Session Forecast - the first time they've been in the positive this biennium. Things to watch moving forward are the impact of legislatively approved increases to spending outside of education - there was a $198 million increase in the 2026 short session - any potential challenges to the federal tax code disconnect bills, and legislative appetite for utilizing reserve funds for K-12 education in the 2027-29 biennium. The Hillsboro Schools Foundation conducted its highly anticipated “Surprise Patrol” the week of May 18 through 22, where winners of Engagement Grants for the following school year are announced. In all, fifteen proposals received funding - twelve from HSF directly, and three from anonymous donors. Projects range from bringing art literacy curriculum to McKinney Elementary School; to adding barbering and cosmetology stations to the career learning lab at R.A. Brown Middle School; to providing the tools for students to use reading, writing, and creativity to craft their own board games at Century High School; and many more! While the projects may differ, what they have in common is their ability to engage students in their learning and provide experiences that would not be possible under normal school funding.

This interview is with John Platt of Helvetia Winery. In this interview, John talks about moving off a houseboat to Helvetia, planting grapes, and expanding his business into a winery.John shares about moving to the Helvetia area after a piece of land came up for sale and meeting with an extension agent to determine what kinds of crops he should plant. Among the list was grapes, which John and his wife Elizabeth planted with the intention of selling fruit to home winemakers.John talks about his other work during that time, including legal work with Pacific Northwest Native American tribes and their fishing rights, as well as Elizabeth's work in politics including a 6-year term in Congress. As they began planting the vineyard and building the winery, they were flying back and forth to DC for her career.Later in the interview, John discusses how he went about deciding what to plant, collaboration with many in the industry, and learning to farm grapes by “looking it up” and “making mistakes.” Within 20 years of planting the vineyard, he had purchased additional land to build a winery and host guests at the house-turned-tasting room. While he sees lots of challenges facing the industry in the future, he's also optimistic that the industry will continue on for years to come.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Helvetia Winery in Hillsboro on April 6, 2026.

Congratulations are in order for the Leadership/Student Council teams at all four HSD comprehensive high schools and R.A. Brown Middle School! Each of them earned the prestigious Gold Council Award at the Oregon Association of Student Councils Spring Leadership Conference on April 27 - an accomplishment achieved by just 25 high schools and 8 middle schools across the state!The leadership programs begin by setting goals in the fall and actively participating in activities and events throughout the year. In order to receive the award, programs must create and encourage activities that promote belonging among all students and provide a series of events that include a variety of different areas/disciplines. Along with involvement in the school, they must also demonstrate that they are gaining valuable leadership and professional skills that they can take with them outside of the classroom. OASC Executive Director Cameron Broome notes: “This recognition program is far more than a simple trophy; it is a rigorous framework designed to help students serve, learn, invest, and grow alongside their school communities. What is truly inspiring is the unwavering commitment these students show to servant leadership. They do not just participate, they lead with heart.”Way to go, Century, Glencoe, Hilhi, Liberty, and R.A. Brown! Your hard work and dedication exemplifies what it means to be Proud to be HSD!Our featured event is our Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander heritage celebration, which took place on Friday, May 8, at R.A. Brown Middle School. This all-community event brought together more than 300 students, families, staff, and community partners. Attendees enjoyed a diverse array of cultural demonstrations, including Vietnamese Fan and Umbrella Dances, a Bollywood celebration, and a Chinese Lion Dance. The evening, which also featured hands-on activities and a shared Japanese meal, concluded with Hula and Fire Dancing performances, elevating our Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. We extend our sincere gratitude to the volunteers and participants who helped make this joyful event possible. Your presence supports our ongoing commitment to foster welcoming environments where every family feels connected, valued, and seen.There will be no school for all students on Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize the importance of our mental wellbeing. In HSD, we remind students, staff, and families that mental health is something within each of us. It shapes how we think, feel, connect with others, and handle stress. We encourage our community to speak respectfully and inclusively about mental health, create safe and supportive spaces for open conversations, seek help when needed, and encourage others to do the same. Simple, everyday habits can make a big difference: getting enough sleep, eating balanced meals, spending time outdoors, and enjoying fun activities together as a family are all meaningful ways to support mental health. Visit our website for links to some activities your family can explore together from resources we use in our schools. HSD is also excited to share a new partnership with Care Solace, a comprehensive care coordination service that connects students, staff, and their families to mental health providers, substance use treatment, and social services matched to their unique needs. Care Solace provides confidential support and can help families find providers based on their insurance coverage, location, language, and other specific needs. This service is available year-round and at no cost to you! To get started, visit caresolace.com/hsd-k12. Our featured event is our 11th annual Proud to be HSD Festival, which was held in downtown Hillsboro on Saturday, May 9, in conjunction with the Hillsboro Farmers Market. It was an amazing event, as always! Many thanks to all of the students who performed, showcased their career-related learning, demonstrated a STEM concept, dressed up as their school's mascot, or sold their handmade items. Thanks also to the staff advisors, volunteers, Facilities department all-stars, booth participants, partner organizations, 5K runners, and to all of the families and community members who came out to support our students.

Mayo se reconoce como el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Salud Mental, un momento para reconocer la importancia del bienestar mental. En HSD, le recordamos a los estudiantes, los miembros del personal y las familias que la salud mental forma parte de la vida de todas las personas. El bienestar mental influye en cómo pensamos, sentimos, nos relacionamos con los demás y cómo manejamos el estrés. Invitamos a nuestra comunidad a conversar sobre la salud mental de manera respetuosa e inclusiva, fomentar entornos seguros y solidarios para el diálogo abierto, buscar apoyo cuando sea necesario y motivar a otros a hacer lo mismo.Las rutinas sencillas y cotidianas pueden tener un impacto positivo en la salud mental: dormir lo suficiente, mantener una alimentación equilibrada, pasar tiempo al aire libre y compartir momentos agradables en familia son maneras valiosas de fomentar el bienestar mental. Visite nuestro sitio web para encontrar enlaces a algunas actividades que su familia puede realizar utilizando los recursos que implementamos en nuestras escuelas.HSD también se complace en anunciar una nueva asociación con Care Solace, un servicio integral de coordinación de atención que ayuda a conectar a estudiantes, miembros del personal y familias con proveedores de salud mental, tratamiento para el uso de sustancias psicoactivas y servicios sociales adaptados a sus necesidades individuales. Care Solace ofrece apoyo confidencial y puede asistir a las familias en la búsqueda de proveedores según su seguro médico, ubicación, idioma y otras necesidades específicas. Este servicio está disponible durante todo el año y no tiene ningún costo para usted.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Strange Loop Project's ‘Fresh Baked'Anna Pinault is a dancer and choreographer in Minneapolis, and she recommends an innovative dance performance this Saturday from Strange Loop Project. It's the second installment in their “Fresh Baked” series, where four dancer/choreographers are given 24 hours to create a new dance based on a three-word prompt. Each dancer receives the same prompt, resulting in what Pinault says feels like a curated collection. The performance of these “fresh-baked” dances, which tend to average about 10 minutes each, will take place 8 p.m. Saturday, May 2 at 1629 Hennepin Ave. in Minneapolis.Pinault performed in the first iteration of the series in February, and she described what the next four dancers are about to experience.Anna says: You really have to let go and just give in to the freedom of creation. It takes a lot of trust in yourself as well, that you can show up in the studio, come up with something without over-editing yourself, because you don't have time to do that. You just have to kind of push play and let the creative process go.— Anna PinaultThreshold Theater's ‘More 4Play'Freelance director Gretchen Weinrich of Minneapolis enjoyed seeing Threshold Theater's new collection of four 10-minute plays by LGBTQ+ playwrights. A follow-up from their 2024 event, “More 4Play” continues at Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday, which tickets available in advance or at the door.Though the plays center “the LGBTQ+ experience generally,” Weinrich says, they are diverse in story and style. She appreciated seeing the same small group of actors take on different characters in each show. As for the venue, Bryant Lake Bowl is one of Weinrich's favorites.Gretchen says: The food and drinks are great. They'll serve you right in your seat, and it makes for a fun uptown vibe.— Gretchen WeinrichPlains Art Museum's Spring GalaEric A. Johnson of Hillsboro, North Dakota, is an artist and director of Fargo Moorhead Visual Arts. He's looking forward to the Plains Art Museum's Spring Gala this Saturday in downtown Fargo. The event is a celebration of artistic talent in the Fargo-Moorhead area and beyond, as well as a fundraiser to support the museum. The swanky evening includes music, food, and a silent auction of art with the region's talent on display, which Johnson says feels like a juried art exhibition.This year's theme is “Nightmare at the Museum,” with themed costumes encouraged but not required. The Plains Art Museum is free and open daily.Editor's note: Johnson is one of more than 80 area artists who have donated work for the silent auction.

If you are interested in cryptids, Fortean phenomena, winged humanoids, Dogman reports, Men in Black, and high strangeness in the Buckeye State, this presentation is for you.

A very sweet story of success in Mindy Crosato - baker and owner of Decadent Creations and Collective Kitchen in Hillsboro, Oregon. She says at 20 years old, she found herself kicked out of school, fired from her job and basically homeless after breaking up with her boyfriend who she lived with at the time. She said one morning that year, she woke up and thought, 'I'm going to open a bakery.' She got herself through culinary school and started baking her way to success. Mindy says she'd wake up at midnight, bake all morning and then deliver the fresh baked goods to a farmers market to sell. After becoming a "Chopped" champion in 2015, she opened her now shop, Decadent Creations. A sweet interview on Mindy's story and her journey to baking up wildly popular treats, plus her new adventures in the culinary world.

If you woke up today thinking, “Wow, I hope my neighbors don't solve disputes with a hammer,” congratulations — you're already ahead of Hillsboro.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite comedy podcast dives headfirst into a buffet of local chaos, celebrity controversy, and just enough heartfelt nostalgia to make you question your emotional stability.We kick things off in the Central West End where a 58-year-old man allegedly went on a full naked rampage in a high-end apartment building. Elevators were involved. Statues worth $500K were harmed. Security guards saw things they cannot unsee. This comedy podcast breaks down the entire “Friday the 13th but make it STL” moment and asks the important question: how does one man cause a million dollars in damage without pants?Then we pivot to Wash Ave, where a repeat offender made some very poor life choices less than two weeks after getting out of jail. We discuss personal recognizance bonds, public safety, and why “can't stop, won't stop” should not apply in this context.From there? Neighborhood drama escalates into full-on hammer justice in Hillsboro. A dad confronts another dad about bullying… and ends up facing first-degree assault charges. Conflict resolution tip from this comedy podcast: maybe try literally anything else first.We also honor the passing of Blueberry Hill co-founder Linda Edwards and reflect on what she meant to The Delmar Loop and St. Louis culture. It's heartfelt. It's nostalgic. It's the one moment in today's comedy podcast where we don't roast someone.Then it's Crap On Celebrities time — and we get into the uncomfortable but fascinating world of celebrities who somehow survived cancellation. From Snoop Dogg's glow-up to Mark Wahlberg's past, Vince Neil's history, Mike Tyson's comeback, and the wildly inconsistent court of public opinion — we break down who gets forgiven and why.Plus:Shia LaBeouf spotted at Mardi GrasJustin Timberlake allegedly on a “no boys night” leashAI lawsuits coming for HollywoodSantana & The Doobie Brothers blessing STLAnd Moon trying to explain tech business strategy while we slowly age in real timeIt's another beautifully unhinged installment of your favorite comedy podcast — daily chaos, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, and St. Louis stories that make you grateful for your relatively normal apartment building.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a daily comedy show collides with real life and nobody wears pants (literally).We kick things off with a full-blown airline etiquette debate after a flight armrest standoff turns into a larger discussion about personal responsibility, panic disorders, and whether Southwest dropped the ball harder than your carry-on in turbulence. It's a surprisingly thoughtful debate… for about six minutes. Then we spiral. Because that's what a daily comedy show is supposed to do.From there? Buckle up.We've got a 58-year-old man going full naked rampage in a high-end West Pine apartment building, smashing million-dollar statues and trying to recruit unwilling participants. STL weird news strikes again. Then there's a repeat offender who just will not stop exposing himself — even when police literally try to pull his pants up for him. You can't make this stuff up, and we wouldn't if we tried.Neighborhood drama? Oh, we got that too. A Hillsboro dad decides the appropriate way to handle a bullying dispute is with a hammer. Yes. A hammer. Not a conversation. Not a strongly worded email. A hammer. Conflict resolution level: medieval.But it's not all chaos. We also pause to honor Linda Edwards of Blueberry Hill — a true Saint Louis creative force who helped shape the Delmar Loop's iconic vibe. It's heartfelt, nostalgic, and then somehow transitions into allergy shot support groups and BJC waiting room perspective checks.Because this is The Rizzuto Show. A daily comedy show that can go from heartfelt tribute to “are butterflies and bees friends?” in under 90 seconds.And then… portals open.It's the Year of the Fire Horse. Lunar New Year. Solar eclipse. Age of Aquarius. Three portals. 72 hours. Big reset energy. Whether you believe in cosmic destiny or just believe in dumb hypotheticals about whether it's better to look smart or be smart — we unpack it all.This episode has:STL crime chaosWeird neighbor fightsAirline lawsuitsMental health debatesAllergy shot war storiesA philosophical crisis about being a dumbassAnd at least one reference to Mississippi self-defense lawIt's messy. It's thoughtful. It's hilarious. It's peak Rizz and the gang.Welcome to your new favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.How to Watch the 'Ring of Fire' Annular Solar Eclipse This Week2026 Year of the Fire Horse: Lunar New Year horoscopes for every zodiac signNaked man torments guard, tenant at Central West End apartmentsMan arrested for lewd act downtown months after school incidentMan jailed after striking neighbor in the face with hammerBlueberry Hill co-founder Linda Kennedy Edwards diesWheelchair User with Severe Anxiety Disorder Sues Southwest for Allegedly Abandoning Her in Airport BathroomSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
