World War II veteran, Oregon legislator Bill Markham dies at 98
CARISA CEGAVSKE
He died Monday at the age of 98.
Markham served Douglas County and parts of Josephine County as a Republican representative in the Oregon House from 1969 to 1997, a record 14 terms. He stepped down when new term limits barred him from running again, but longtime former Douglas County Commissioner Doug Robertson said Markham was so popular that without term limits he could easily have been reelected as many times as he wanted to be. He was a good friend and one of the most effective legislators in the state Legislature we ve had, Robertson said.

Volunteers to plant trees in mine-scarred Centralia
An environmental group is continuing efforts to beautify Centralia by planting 250 apple trees in the abandoned mine fire town. Author: Nikki Krize Updated: 4:08 PM EDT April 6, 2021
CENTRALIA, Pa. There is not much to see when driving through Centralia, as less than half a dozen houses remain. The community was mostly abandoned because of an underground mine fire, and over the last few years, it has become somewhat of a dumping ground for garbage and old furniture. We don t feel that that s right. Residents don t feel that that s right. There s too much of that littering and dumping, and it doesn t really sit well with the people down there, said Robert Hughes, executive director for the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation.
