Your Wednesday evening update – Salem news that matters

Our team spent the day running around town, chatting with a former couch derby star, visiting a small farm and watching some surgeries at a local animal shelter for reports we’re preparing in the coming days.

Here is some news from around Salem to wrap up your Wednesday. You can keep up with all of our stories through the day on our website or by following us on Facebook or Twitter.

EVENTS on the Salem calendar

Get your event in front of Salem. Who can post to our Events Calendar? Just about anyone. We ask that you provide a fair description of the event and the cost, if any. Government agencies can – and should – list their public meetings. Nonprofits can list fundraising events open to the community. And clubs and groups can enter events that are open to the public.

In other words, if it’s happening, and it’s public, you can list. There is no cost for our base listing and you have options to buy even more attention. SUBMIT EVENT
