Stamp commemorates Japanese American soldiers, known as Nisei, who fought in World War II

ONTARIO â For Flag Day on Monday, citizens in Ontario will join others around the state to celebrate a long-awaited moment: The release of a new first-class postage stamp that gives a nod to Japanese American veterans from World War II â specifically those who served on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.

Spotlighting a last batch of 2020 Oregon recordings
I know the last thing many of us want to do is revisit 2020. But we can’t let it slip away without spotlighting one final batch of musical recommendations gleaned from the many recordings Oregon musicians released last year. Some explicitly respond to the crises that plagued what ArtsWatch’s Bob Hicks calls “The Year That Should Not Speak Its Name.” Others were made earlier and released last year. Whether soothing or invigorating, they’re all worth hearing even after the year they appeared.
With most Oregon music happening on our home screens and speakers rather than stages last year, we’ve been devoting more pixels to recordings than ever.
