Titans take fourth
The baseball team made it far in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College’s championship tournament. After pulling an upset during game one against Everett, the boys of summer continued strong through the weekend and ended the season as fourth in the league. Many congratulations to head coach Dean Stiles and his squad. We’re sure they’ll make the college proud next year as well.

Kicker reform doesn’t go far enough
If Gov. Kitzhaber signs House Bill 3543, excess taxes the state collects will no longer be returned to Oregon residents in the form of a check. Instead, taxpayers will receive a credit on the next year’s return. It makes so much more sense to use that excess to create a rainy day fund. We know it’s tough to implement legislation like this during a recession, but it’ll help weather further economic hard times down the road.
