OLCC Ratifies Bottle Bill Changes

While most of the changes are only for Portland, some of the changes are statewide: Retailers will now only have to accept returns between the hours of 8 am and 8 pm, instead of all hours they are open, for instance. And as of July 1, canned wine, cider over 8.5% alcohol by volume, sake and mead containers are subject to deposit and redemption statewide.

Heat wave expected starting Sunday

With temperatures expected to reach between 92 and 96 degrees throughout the region starting Sunday, the Portland office of the National Weather Service is urging local residents to prepare for the first early heat wave of the year.
