Good morning, Oregon City.

On July 27, 2025, shortly after 6:45 p.m., the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office responded to a marine rescue call near Carver Park and recovered a man’s body from the river at about 7:15 p.m.—the victim’s name is withheld pending family notifications.

After Shari’s closed its Oregon locations earlier this year due to outstanding debts with the Oregon Lottery, Elmer's Restaurants is taking over several former hexagonal diner buildings.

The chain will open new spots at Portland airport, Hillsboro, Tualatin and Bend—while Shari’s outlets in Washington remain open.

Last week, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek signed two bills into law — one to update the Groundwater Quality Protection Act and one requiring landlords to test well water for contaminants like arsenic, coliform bacteria, lead, and nitrates to improve public health.

The new measures aim to boost water quality and transparency across the state.
