An Oregon casino is closing its doors for two weeks as the state experiences an increase in COVID-19 cases. According to a report from Oregon Live, Chinook Winds, a tribal property in Lincoln City, is shutting down until Aug. 26. The property first stopped its operations on Aug. 12 following a record number of cases and hospitalizations in the state. “We will continue to monitor developments and the advice of local, national and world health organizations,” representatives of the casino said in a statement. “We will make our decision when to reopen based on our ability to provide a safe environment for our team members and guests.” Since the nation’s brick-and-mortar casino markets reopened throughout 2020, Chinook Winds became one of the first casinos to close for any reason in 2021.

There’s been much discussion regarding the Open Pit Coal Mines planned for the Eastern Slopes. Alberta’s government willingly tangled itself in a net of challenges, and has now decided to take on sculpting our Rocky Mountains down to find coal!
Days were spent listening to the AER hearings in October that bandied terms like remediation, economic relief, natural impacts and cultural effects, as if once ‘rules and policies’ are established, it’ll be just fine. But we’ve seen the result of some of these projects, and it ain’t purty!
A footprint on a grand scale is morphing into a monster, which is extremely troubling, even in its initial stages of exploration and assessment.
