We are looking for students who are encouraging, organized, solid writers, and clear communicators. If you know a student who fits that description, please send his or her name to Maddie Lowen (mlowen@georgefox.edu).

The city of Newberg will close off Fulton Street to one lane on Tuesday, Feb. 13. Flaggers will be on hand to direct traffic, so expect major delays. Drivers are encouraged to use a different route, as the street will be one lane all day, starting at 7 a.m.

The closure will occur east of the Bauman parking lot entrance at the top of the hill, past Thomas Lane and the West Wheeler/LeShana parking lot entrance. Cars will be able to enter the Le Shana lot from the east entrance off Fulton Street. It is unclear if there will be access to the Wheeler Circle lot. Entrance to the Bauman parking lot will be unaffected.

Thank you for your patience as the city corrects an issue with their sewer line traveling across Fulton Street.
