Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of transformative developments across the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, highlighting strategic investments, innovative therapies, and regulatory milestones. AstraZeneca's recent $2 billion investment in Summit Therapeutics is a testament to the industry's focus on cutting-edge oncology solutions. This substantial funding aims to advance the development of ivonescimab, a PD-1xVEGF bispecific antibody, in conjunction with antibody-drug conjugates. This strategic move underscores the potential of combining different therapeutic modalities to target complex cancer pathways, particularly in gastrointestinal malignancies. By leveraging dual-targeting capabilities, these therapies promise enhanced efficacy, marking a significant step forward in cancer treatment paradigms. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk is making strides in metabolic disease management through its partnership with Hengrui Pharma. This collaboration to develop a weekly oral GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonist for obesity underscores the growing emphasis on innovative metabolic therapies. The upfront payment of $300 million, with additional milestone payments potentially reaching $2.6 billion, reflects the high stakes involved in addressing obesity—a global health challenge. This approach could revolutionize current treatment standards by improving patient compliance and outcomes through targeted small molecule interventions. On the manufacturing front, Genentech's $750 million expansion of its Hillsboro facility highlights the increasing demand for biopharmaceuticals. This investment is poised to double the facility's size by 2031, supporting new drug approvals in oncology, neurology, and immunology. Enhanced production capacity is crucial for meeting the intricate requirements of biologics and personalized medicine, ensuring that breakthrough treatments reach patients more effectively. In the realm of antibody research, Ginkgo Bioworks, AbbVie, and Takeda have joined forces to form the Antibody Developability Consortium. By creating a standardized dataset for antibody development using artificial intelligence and machine learning, this initiative aims to streamline the discovery and manufacturability of therapeutic antibodies. The collaboration seeks to overcome existing challenges in antibody drug development, potentially expediting time-to-market for new therapies. In neurology, AC Immune's Phase 2 trial of ACI-7104 has shown promising results in early-stage Parkinson's disease by meeting all primary endpoints and demonstrating complete immunogenicity. This active immunotherapy targeting alpha-synuclein presents hope for modifying disease progression rather than merely alleviating symptoms. Such advancements highlight the potential of vaccination strategies in addressing neurodegenerative diseases. Roche is also embracing innovation by planning autonomous AI labs for drug R&D. These labs are expected to accelerate clinical candidate development significantly, reducing costs while improving success rates in bringing new drugs to market. This initiative exemplifies how AI-driven drug discovery is reshaping research methodologies. Despite these advancements, challenges persist within the industry. UniQure's gene therapy for Huntington's disease showed diminished effectiveness over four years in Phase 1/2 trials, illustrating the complexities inherent in developing neurological disorder treatments. Additionally, BioNTech's closure of three sites in Germany resulting in substantial job cuts highlights broader economic pressures despite its success with mRNA vaccines. Regulatory developments are crucial as well. The FDA's approval of Roche's Gazyva for idiopathic nephrotic syndrome marks a pivotal advancement as it becomes the first treatment option for this condition in 70 years. This approval not only provides hope for patients but also sets a precedent for future research into autoimmune diseases. In contrast to these successes, Roche decided to discontinue its muscle-sparing obesity antibody following disappointing phase 2 results. Such outcomes emphasize the importance of interim analyses and adaptive strategies in drug development. Overall, these updates underscore a dynamic period characterized by strategic investments, technological innovation, and collaborative efforts aimed at addressing some of healthcare's most pressing challenges. The integration of cutting-edge technologies such as AI and novel therapeutic modalities continues to drive progress towards more effective and personalized patient care solutions. As we wrap up today's episode of Pharma Daily, it's clear that while opportunities abound within the industry through scientific breakthroughs and strategic collaborations, challenges remain that require careful navigation. Companies that balance innovation with rigorous clinical evaluation will be at the forefront of delivering transformative healthcare solutions globally. Thank you for tuning into Pharma Daily; stay informed with us as we continue to track these evolving trends shaping the future of pharmaceuticals and biotech.Support the show

Congratulations are in order for Mia Hocking, HSD's resource conservation manager! She was selected as one of 53 school system leaders in 25 states to participate in the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) 2026-27 School Air Quality Fellowship program. This program is one of the indoor air quality initiatives administered by the Center for Green Schools at USGBC. The nine-month program provides training, technical assistance, and peer support to help participants develop practical plans for cleaner, healthier indoor air and energy-efficient schools. Wildfire smoke, respiratory illnesses and new state indoor air quality requirements have increased the need for proactive district planning. Effective indoor air quality management can support student and staff health, reduce absenteeism, improve building operations and extend the useful life of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment. Written plans can also help districts maintain consistent practices through staff transitions, communicate clearly with families and communities, meet applicable requirements and understand their progress over time.Anisa Herning, director of the Center for Green Schools at USGBC, notes that the reach of this cohort - representing more than 2 million students and thousands of staff members - means that stronger practices can improve learning and working conditions across the country. During the fellowship, participants will use the School District Energy Efficient Indoor Air Quality Management Plan Toolkit to create district-specific plans that address indoor air quality while accounting for energy use and operating costs. The toolkit was developed in partnership with the American Lung Association, Go Green Initiative, and the University of Utah. It includes simple plan language, case studies, and an editable template districts can adapt to their needs.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a box of old family letters opens a window into one of the most dangerous chapters of World War II?This week on Here's What We Know, we welcome author Jan Cress Dondi to talk about The Navigator's Letter, a remarkable story built from letters, family memories, military records, and the lives of three young people whose paths were changed by war. Listen in as the conversation takes us into the world of B-24 navigators, the deadly Ploesti mission, prisoner-of-war camps, and the emotional reality faced by young men who knew they might not make it home. Jan also shares the deeply personal connection she has to the story through her father, her uncle, and her mother, and how those letters helped bring their personalities and experiences back to life decades later.We'll also deep dive into what happens when the people who lived through history don't talk about it and what families can discover when they take the time to ask questions and preserve the stories that remain.If you have old letters, photographs, journals, or stories from someone in your family who served, this conversation may make you look at them a little differently.In this episode:The true story behind The Navigator's LetterWhat WWII letters reveal about the lives of young servicemenThe dangers faced by B-24 crews and navigatorsThe infamous Ploesti mission and "Black Sunday"Life inside a Romanian POW campThe friendship and complicated relationship between Bob, John B., and PollySurvivor's guilt and the emotional cost of warWhy family history matters before the people who lived it are gone This episode is sponsored by: Dignity Memorial Reed Animal Hospital Bio:Jan Cress Dondi's journey began in Hillsboro, Illinois, where the inspiration for The Navigator's Letter took root. With thirty years experience in legal writing and research, she learned to trace facts with precision, following threads of the past—across time, language, and continents. Her pursuit was personal—a labor of love of family—a desire to connect historical truth with the human experience. The culmination of which has enriched this narrative with depth and authenticity.Hundreds of letters from two B-24 navigators—John B. and Bob—and a POW diary together with historical documents became the backbone of this book. Clues led Dondi on an emotional search for answers, one that carried her across the globe—to her father's POW camp in Romania, the military archives in Germany, her uncle's military base in England—where she pieced together a deeply human story of war, courage and love—one that had waited decades to be told. Dondi was born in Hillsboro, IL. Raised in Atlanta, she graduated from the University of Georgia; lived years in Anchorage, AK, where she pursued post-graduate studies at the University of Alaska; and built a career as a litigation paralegal. She has spoken about her father's POW experience at the US Embassy in Bucharest, recounted her uncle's mission experience to the 93rd Bombardment Group in Washington, DC, and flown in one of the only B-24 Liberators still operating. The mother of two daughters and grandmother of four, Jan has been married nearly forty years to an aviation enthusiast and hobby pilot whose projects include building a 72% scale all-carbon replica of a P-51 Mustang, the WWII fighter that significantly impacted the war. She lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL.Website: https://jancressdondi.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jancressdondi/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenavigatorsletter/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/b24navigators/Tags: The Navigator's Letter, Jan Cress Dondi, World War II, WWII, WWII family history, WWII letters, World War II history, WWII veterans, WWII navigator, B-24 Liberator, Ploesti mission, Ploiesti Romania, WWII prisoner of war, WWII POW, military family history, family letters, World War II books, WWII memoir, historical nonfiction, Gary Scott ThomasConnect with Gary:Gary's WebsiteFollow Gary on InstagramGary's TiktokGary's FacebookWatch the episodes on YouTubeAdvertise on the PodcastThank you for listening.

La asistencia es importante: Cada día cuentaEn el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro, sabemos que asistir a la escuela es mucho más que estar presente; es una oportunidad para aprender, sentirse parte de la comunidad, establecer relaciones y mantenerse conectado con los demás. Cada día en la escuela brinda a los estudiantes oportunidades para aprender junto a sus compañeros, establecer relaciones con adultos solidarios y mantenerse conectados con su comunidad escolar. Cuando los estudiantes saben que son valorados, reconocidos y que se les extraña cuando no están, creamos mejores condiciones para una asistencia regular.Desarrollar buenos hábitos de asistencia desde el comienzo del año escolar marca la pauta y es un poderoso indicador de éxito a futuro. Por eso, este mes de septiembre celebramos el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Asistencia Escolar con el tema: ¡Tu presencia es importante! Este mensaje nos recuerda que la asistencia está extremadamente vinculada con el sentido de pertenencia, la conexión y las relaciones sólidas.Las familias son colaboradores fundamentales para apoyar la asistencia regular. Así como usted monitorea las calificaciones de su estudiante, establecer expectativas claras sobre la asistencia y llevar un control de las ausencias ayuda a evitar que esto se transforme en dificultades académicas. Mantener rutinas consistentes, planificar con anticipación las citas y el transporte, y conversar con su estudiante sobre la importancia de asistir a la escuela puede marcar una gran diferencia. Y si surge alguna dificultad, ya sea por motivos de salud, vivienda, ansiedad u otras situaciones, por favor comuníquese con su escuela. Queremos trabajar junto a usted para encontrar soluciones y conectar a su familia con los apoyos necesarios.Lo que las familias pueden hacer:Haga de la asistencia una prioridad: procure que su estudiante asista a la escuela todos los días y llegue a tiempo.Comuníquese con el personal escolar: informe a los maestros o consejeros escolares si existen obstáculos que dificulten la asistencia de su estudiante.Lleve un registro de las ausencias: monitoree los días perdidos para evitar que los pequeños detalles se conviertan en inconvenientes mayores.Trabaje en colaboración con la escuela: pregunte sobre el progreso de su estudiante y cómo la asistencia influye en su aprendizaje.Para obtener más ideas y recursos sobre cómo apoyar a su estudiante, visite los siguientes enlaces: página web de HSD Asistir a clases para tener éxito, folleto para las escuelas primarias, folleto para las escuelas secundarias y preparatorias.

At HSD, we know that showing up to school is about more than attendance, it is about learning, belonging, relationships and connection. Every day at school gives students opportunities to learn with their classmates, build relationships with adults who care, and stay connected to their school community. When students know they are valued, noticed, and missed when they are gone, we create stronger conditions for regular attendance. Building strong attendance habits at the beginning of the year sets the tone and is a powerful predictor of success later on. That's why we're celebrating Attendance Awareness Month this September with the theme: Your Presence Matters!, which reminds us that attendance is rooted in belonging, connection, and strong relationships.Families are essential partners in supporting regular attendance. Just as you monitor your child's grades, setting clear expectations for attendance and keeping track of absences helps ensure missed days don't turn into academic trouble. Consistent routines, planning ahead for appointments and transportation, and talking with your child about the importance of showing up can make a difference. And when something gets in the way, whether it's health, housing, anxiety or other challenges, please reach out to your school. We want to work together to find solutions and connect your family with support.What Families Can DoMake attendance a priority. Aim for your child to attend school every day, on time.Communicate with school staff. Let teachers or counselors know if you face barriers to getting your child to school.Track absences. Keep an eye on days missed so small gaps don't add up to big setbacks.Partner with schools. Ask about your child's progress and how attendance connects to their learning.For additional ideas and resources about how to support your student visit these links: HSD Attend Achieve webpage, Elementary handout, Secondary handout.

178 The Turtle Trap – With Zach Abrahamsson A quiet back road, a string of dead turtles, and a community determined to protect local wildlife. Conservation Officer Zach Abrahamsson joins Warden's Watch to tell the incredible story behind "The Turtle Trap," an investigation that used a toy turtle decoy to catch a suspect responsible for a shocking act of wildlife cruelty. From citizen observations to undercover surveillance, this episode highlights the challenges of proving wildlife crimes and the importance of protecting vulnerable species. Our Sponsors: Thin Green Line Podcast Don Noyes Chevrolet North American Game Warden Museum Hunt Regs WiseEye SecureIt Gun Storage XS Sights “A Cowboy in the Woods” Book Iron Skillet Seasonings Maine Operation Game Thief New Hampshire Operation Game Thief Conservation Officers of Pennsylvania North East Conservation Law Enforcement Chiefs Association International Wildlife Crimestoppers North American Wildlife Enforcement Officers Association Here's what we discuss: Wayne welcomes Zach Abrahamsson from New Hampshire Fish and Game. The case begins on Bog Road in Hillsboro, New Hampshire. Residents install turtle crossing signs to protect nesting turtles. The signs begin disappearing. Someone leaves a handwritten message demanding the signs be removed. Witnesses notice a local resident repeatedly driving a side-by-side up and down the road. Dead turtles begin appearing along a short stretch of roadway. Concerned citizens carefully track the number of turtles being found. Fifteen turtles are found dead over a short period. A nesting turtle catches the attention of nearby residents. Witnesses watch as a man picks up the turtle, places it in the road, and stomps on it. The injured turtle survives and is rushed to a licensed rehabilitator. The turtle is expected to make a full recovery. Hillsboro Police contact Fish and Game to investigate. Zach discusses New Hampshire's wildlife cruelty law. Officers begin planning a proactive operation. Fellow officer James Benvenuti suggests using a toy turtle as a decoy. "My son has this toy turtle." The realistic decoy is placed along the road. Officers hide nearby and wait. A passing vehicle unintentionally disrupts part of the operation. Zach spends several tense moments hiding behind a large boulder. "My heart was pounding." The suspect spots the decoy turtle. He turns around and deliberately drives over it. The action is captured on video. The suspect immediately heads home afterward. Officers explain the difference between circumstantial evidence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Zach breaks down how wildlife cases are built for court. The chargeable offense centers on the turtle that witnesses observed being stomped. The decoy operation helps reinforce the investigative findings. Zach explains the difference between felony and misdemeanor wildlife cruelty charges. The discussion turns to officer discretion and appropriate punishment. "The most important thing is getting this guy to stop doing this." The suspect pleads guilty to the charges. The case results in fines and a criminal record. Public reaction to the case is intense. Balancing accountability with changing behavior. The importance of reporting suspicious wildlife activity. Zach explains the conservation impact of losing multiple turtles. Remarkably, the famous turtle decoy survives the operation with only a cracked shell. The battle-scarred decoy earns permanent trophy status among the officers.

National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we recognize and celebrate the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. We honor Hispanic Heritage Month not just as a seasonal celebration, but as a core component of our daily academic philosophy through our Spanish-English Dual Language and Spanish Literacy Programs. Spanning from preschool through high school, the programs serve more than 3,700 students, immersing them in bilingual instruction and treating the Spanish language and Hispanic traditions as valuable assets that deepen sociocultural competence, cultural pride, and mutual respect. During Hispanic Heritage Month, these dual-language classrooms serve as vibrant hubs where local Latino/a/x families and educators collaborate to share authentic literature, art, and history, culminating in district-wide community events that center student voices and foster genuine belonging. Ultimately, the district elevates Hispanic heritage into a lifelong educational benefit, guiding students toward earning the Oregon State Seal of Biliteracy while instilling a deep appreciation for the rich diversity of our community.We also have a thriving LatinoParent Advisory Council - or PAC - at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students connected to Hispanic and Latina/o/x Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. And families are invited to two upcoming events: Centro Cultural's Binational Health Fair on Saturday, October 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Century High School; and HSD's Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Wednesday, October 7, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Quatama Elementary School. More details to come. Our featured students are recent grads from Glencoe High School. At HSD, we pride ourselves on our Career and College Pathway program that provides students with real-world skills to prepare them for life after high school. Glencoe High School's Construction teacher, Todd Patterson, recently shared this success story: ten of his students who just graduated in June were hired by Ultra Clean Technologies - a local supplier to semiconductor companies - as skilled workers. After talking to a UCT employee last spring and learning they were about to ramp up production, Todd suggested speaking to his seniors, which they did. Many students expressed interest and interviewed within weeks of graduation. “Now they are getting paid well and building some really cool products!” Todd shared. “I think what they took away from my class were employability skills like showing up on time, working hard, and having a good attitude. Also, they were all comfortable using hand tools and power tools, and were skilled with basic measuring practice.” Congratulations and way to go, Glencoe Alums!

September is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month, so each September, we come together as a community to raise awareness, spread hope, and take meaningful steps toward preventing suicide. Suicidal thoughts can impact anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background, and yet too often the topic is surrounded by silence and stigma. At HSD, we believe suicide is preventable and together we can make a difference.We are proud that every school counselor and administrator in our district has received in-depth training on suicide prevention best practices. Age-appropriate mental health and suicide awareness lessons are provided to students at all levels, and our counselors and Mental Health Care Coordination team are here to identify, support, and connect students with resources if they are struggling. Families play an important role in preventing suicide. Creating a safe space for open conversations about emotions and mental health helps children and teens know they have someone they can turn to when they are distressed. If you have questions about connecting a student with help, please reach out to your school counselor or building administrator. You can also visit the confidential lifeline through Care Solace, a care coordination service that allows HSD students and their families to connect to services in our community. And remember, anyone in emotional distress can call or text 988 - the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline - to connect immediately with trained support personnel. Together, we can create a community where students feel seen, connected, and supported. Our featured event is the start of school! From red carpets, balloons, mascot high-fives, and lawn signs to assemblies, band and cheer squad performances, and senior sunrise gatherings, our students returned to the 2026-27 school year in style on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 1 and 2! Check out a gallery of photos on our website. Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session.

The largest known source of lead emissions is leaded aviation fuel, most commonly used for small aircraft in small, regional airports. A new study from Oregon State University has found that this fuel leads to more lead pollution in surrounding urban areas and neighborhoods, which can affect human health through poor air quality and soil contamination. The study looked at air quality surrounding regional airports near Hillsboro and Troutdale, two of the top three lead-emitters in Oregon. Alyssa Shiel, an associate professor in the college of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at OSU, has been studying lead and heavy metal contaminates for nearly a decade.

On the final day of August, host Kevin Flynn steps in for Scott Hennen to steer a wide-ranging, community-driven Monday edition of What's On Your Mind. With high school and college football season kicking off, Kevin dives right into local sports and weather before tackling the hot-button issue dominating North Dakota headlines: the rapid expansion of AI data centers and hyperscale infrastructure. Callers from across the region weigh in on local water rights, corporate tax breaks, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and municipal oversight. Later in the show, Kevin breaks down high-profile media clips, including Mark Levin's defense of data center technology and Senator John Kennedy's blunt assessment of foreign policy, Iran, and Russian sanctions. Standout Moments & Timestamps 00:00:15 — August Sunset & Football Fever: Kevin opens the show looking back on summer's swift end, sporting his Bison and Hornets gear, and celebrating NDSU's strong debut performance in the Mountain West. 00:03:10 — The Great Data Center Debate Begins: Caller Ryan from South Dakota calls in to present a counter-argument to data center hype, drawing parallels to local industrial projects that overpromised on infrastructure and strained municipal water supplies. 00:06:45 — Local Accountability & Decommissioning Bonds: Grant from Oliver County joins the discussion, raising serious transparency concerns regarding Applied Digital's data center site, non-disclosure agreements signed by local councils, and missing decommissioning bonds. 00:10:15 — How Modern AI Computing Actually Works: Kevin reviews commentary from Mark Levin highlighting the real-world benefits of AI data centers—from revolutionary medical imaging and drug discovery to national security infrastructure. 00:12:40 — Forecast Breakdown: Meteorologist Dean Wysocki drops in to deliver the week's forecast, highlighting North Dakota's top-10 driest summer on record and previewing an upcoming heat ridge for Labor Day weekend. 00:14:10 — Mega-Dairies vs. Local Agriculture: Caller Jim sparks a heated conversation comparing the environmental and water footprints of proposed mega-dairy operations in Abercrombie and Hillsboro to local data centers. 00:16:30 — Community Traditions & The Lost Art of Volunteering: Caller Tanya checks in to talk about youth sports, community service, and how schools and families can instill a volunteer mindset in the next generation. 00:19:40 — Live from the Legislative Hearing in Bismarck: Listener Dana calls straight from a North Dakota legislative committee hearing in Bismarck, advocating for a statewide moratorium on data center construction until public safety, NDA usage, and water consumption are fully studied. 00:23:15 — Senator John Kennedy's "Put Down…

La primavera pasada les compartimos que el Distrito Escolar de Hillsboro planea presentar una propuesta de bono de capital de $430 millones en la boleta electoral de noviembre de 2026. La autorización para hacerlo fue aprobada por unanimidad por la Mesa Directiva en su sesión ordinaria del martes, 26 de mayo.El bono propuesto incluye proyectos para cada escuela y edificio del distrito, tales como la reparación o el reemplazo de techos, sistemas de climatización, iluminación y áreas de juego; el fortalecimiento de la seguridad y protección; y la modernización de espacios educativos para fomentar la participación de los estudiantes y prepararlos para el futuro. La propuesta fue recomendada por el Comité de Desarrollo del Bono y el Comité Directivo del Bono, tras una cuidadosa revisión de los comentarios de la comunidad y los datos recopilados mediante encuestas realizadas durante enero y febrero de 2026. Los bonos de capital como este son el único mecanismo que tienen los distritos escolares de Oregón para realizar inversiones significativas en infraestructura, sistemas y edificios.Gracias a una reducción planificada en el calendario de pago de nuestro bono de 2017 y al importante crecimiento de nuestra comunidad, estimamos que, de aprobarse, la nueva tasa de impuestos sobre el bono sería más baja que la tasa promedio pagada por los propietarios de viviendas desde 2018.Si el bono es aprobado, el distrito también obtendría una subvención estatal complementaria de más de $6 millones. Si no se aprueba, los proyectos propuestos no podrían llevarse a cabo.Durante todo el otoño, compartiremos mucha más información sobre nuestra propuesta del bono. Mientras tanto, para obtener más detalles, por favor visite www.Hillsboro-Bond.org. Allí encontrará un panel interactivo con todos los proyectos propuestos, una lista de preguntas frecuentes, así como otros recursos informativos.
As we shared with you back in the spring, HSD is placing a $430 million capital bond on the November 2026 ballot. Approval to do so was granted unanimously by the School Board at their regular session meeting on Tuesday, May 26. The proposed bond program contains projects for every school and district building, such as replacing or repairing roofs, HVAC systems, lighting, and playgrounds; increasing safety and security; and modernizing educational settings that engage and prepare students. It was recommended by the Bond Development and Bond Steering Committees after careful review of feedback and polling data gathered throughout January and February 2026. Capital bonds like this one are the only mechanism school districts in Oregon have for making significant investments in systems and structures. Thanks to a planned drop in the repayment schedule for our 2017 bond and significant growth in our community, we estimate that, if passed, the new bond levy rate would be lower than the average rate paid by property owners since 2018. If the bond passes, HSD would also secure a state matching grant of more than $6 million. If the bond does not pass, the proposed projects could not be completed. Throughout the fall, we will be sharing much more information with you about our proposed bond. In the meantime, to learn more, please visit www.Hillsboro-Bond.org. There, you will find an interactive dashboard of all proposed projects, a list of frequently asked questions, and more.

He has work every job imaginable within a restaurant, even owning his own at one point. After 30 years in the restaurant business, Joe decided to dip his toe into wine with the goal of creating his own brand. Maxine went to school at Penn State for restaurant management and did just that. She even worked in Yellowstone National Park and learned how to work with many different people.Joe discusses opening up the tasting room and bringing Maxine along. Joe started his label in 2011 and opened a tasting room in 2017. In 2019, the two started talking after meeting in the 90s and started a long-distance relationship until 2020 when Maxine moved with Joe and started helping manage the DAnu tasting room. The couple explains that they were able to survive COVID-19 because of the Hillsboro community. Now, they continue to run their small-scale tasting room.Later in the interview, the two talk about the future of the Oregon wine industry and what it needs to survive. They believe that there needs to be “the small guy” in the industry because the Oregon wine industry is about trying new things. They don't want to loose the Oregon identity by the market being overrun by big corporations. For themselves, they plan on maintaining their role in the community and never loosing their passion for wine.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at DAnu Wines in Hillsboro on July 24, 2026.

This interview is with Chris & Candice Plewik of 3 Goats Vineyard. In this interview, the couple discusses their original plan for their vineyard and what it has turned into. Chris and Candice talk about the idea that started it all. Chris' mother was moving onto their property after retiring, and Chris thought it would be nice for her to look at a vineyard all day. Initially involved in public work and various other avenues, the couple had no interest in wine and were using the vineyard as an outlet from their day-to-day lives. After the decision to plant a vineyard, Chris and Candice built their vineyard in a must-hear, comical way, producing everything “caveman style.”The two discuss the transition from maintaining a vineyard to making wine. They figured they might as well make wine out of their grapes and if it doesn't turn out, no harm, no foul. After finding a mentor that taught them things and let them use his cellar for their small production, Chris and Candice were ready to start their first harvest. Their first vintage of 2021 was hand-planted and hand-picked by Chris alone, and when they finally tasted their wine, they felt a spark.Later in the interview, Chris and Candice talk about their tasting room and thoughts on the Oregon wine industry. The tasting room is incredibly important to the two and is viewed as an extension of their home. Candice even got to use her interior design degree. Chris and Candice have optimism for the Oregon wine industry because of the community. Oregon welcomes everyone into the industry, and as long as the industry maintains the community aspect, it will be okay.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at 3 Goats tasting room in Hillsboro on July 1, 2026.
Several days a week, Quinn Brown will head to Goodwill stores in the Portland area to spend hours at a time sifting through blue bins to look for clothes to resell on the secondhand clothing site Depop. Brown launched his business reselling vintage clothes in 2023, when he was a junior at Lincoln High School. He says his items sell on average for $13 and the biggest sale he’s netted to date was $250 for a ‘90s-era t-shirt. But all of that is about to change. Earlier this month, Sotheby’s listed for auction Brown’s thrift store find of a lifetime: a warm-up jacket worn by LA Lakers basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain during the 1972 NBA Finals. Brown spotted the warm-up jacket this past January during one of his weekly visits to the Goodwill store in Hillsboro. He paid $3 for the jacket, which Sotheby’s has authenticated and estimates to sell for as much as $250,000 when the auction closes on July 20. Brown shares more about his amazing discovery, how he got involved in reselling vintage clothes and the growing popularity of thrifting among Gen Z youth.
