The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter

Good morning, Salem.
This Saturday, 350 Salem OR will have a free screening of “An Oregon Story: Saving our Beaches, Farmland and More,” highlighting conservation efforts and policies throughout the state.
It was produced by Jim Gilbert, a farmer in Clackamas County.
“I’ve done many things in my life, but making this film and telling this story is, for me, one of the most important. We owe a great debt to Governor Tom McCall and the other dedicated and farsighted individuals who created and defended our unique in the nation, land use planning program for the past 50 years,” he said in a statement.
Watch the trailer here. After the screening, there will be a discussion by Gilbert and Roger Kaye of Friends of Marion County, Willamette Professor Russ Beaton and Greg Macpherson son of dairy farmer and former legislator Hector Macpherson.
The event will be at 2 p.m. in Loucks Auditorium at the Salem Public Library, 585 Liberty St. S.E. on Saturday, Feb. 3. Doors open at 1:30 p.m.
