First of all, what happened to November? It's all but gone and we've still got Halloween candy around the house. Although it is still several weeks until Christmas, all the decorations and shopping stories make me feel like I'm way behind already. Which come to think of it I guess I am. Our youngest wants to ask Santa for a pig. Yes, a real one. Second choice is a pair of shoes like the Elves wear that curl up at the toe. Not easy, but better ...

Timberline opens for the ski season! That's what it said on the newswire this morning. The only problem, it's not true. We headed up the big hill to see for ourselves and discovered a very different story. Timberline wanted to open, tried to open, but it just didn't work out. Too much ice on the Palmer snowfield. Meadows is scrambling to open too. Our Joe Michaels is up there and he'll be able to give us a much better idea of what is really ha...

The Portland City Commissioners are giving us a case of whiplash. Just when Erik Sten announced he was siding with the Mayor in favor of renaming Interstate Avenue after Cesar Chavez, there's a new plan. Randy Neeves says now everyone except Mayor Potter wants to rename 4th Avenue near City Hall after Chavez. It could happen today. But you can bet it won't happen quietly. We will bring you the fireworks at five.
Also, did you hear that...

It's a heart-wrenching situation. The story of Gabriel Allred.Born in America to a Mexican father and American mother, neither able to give up crime or drugs to parent him. He has lived in Toledo with a foster family since he was four months old. The Brandts want to adopt Gabriel but the state feels he would be better off living in Mexico with his parental Grandmother. Even though he has never met his Grandmother.
It's been interesting...

It's hard to stay upbeat about the search for the University of Oregon professor missing near Cougar Reservoir. No one has seen him since Sunday and the weather is about to turn. Searchers are making an all out effort today. Reporter Scott Burton says the searchers have already been out for 5 hours and will stay out for at least another 5. I don't know about you but I really got my hopes up when they found footprints on two of the trails.

You don't have to venture far from Interstate Avenue in North Portland to find a couple of big stories unfolding today. First of all a bicyclist was hit by a car this morning in the same spot where a cyclist was killed about two weeks ago. This cyclist, Siobhan Doyle, broke several bones, but survived. Turns out she is a friend of several folks here and talks to us tonight about the accident. Also this afternoon a decision was made to close th...

AT FIVE
You all might remember the shooting last month at a convenience store in Vancouver.
The clerk, a mother of three, was shot within seconds of the robber entering the store.
A surveillance camera recorded it all and the violence is stunning. Tonight though we move past the shock to show you what it has done to this poor woman's life. She was already worried about her safety there and had asked for a t...
