Ontario

And so...

I was living in Ontario, Oregon at the time.

There was a woman there that I knew that was doing the long commute from Ontario, which is on the east side of Oregon.

She was doing the long commute to the west side of Oregon since this was a thousand years ago.

We didn't have, you know, local campuses of law schools at that time.

And if that's the case, people should still be advocating for the tracks they want selected.

For those that still haven't submitted to Treasury, developers should be finding out that tracks that have been nominated to the state and then advocating for the tracks within what has been nominated that the developers want selected.

In Oregon, before they published all of the tracks that were nominated, and I had a client that wanted to do a development in a track right near Ontario, Oregon.

Yeah, and who didn't, right? Yeah, and that was the most expensive glove that I ever bought, and it is trash.

Like inside, the fingers are all worn out and everything, and then – when I was playing, there was a guy in Ontario, Oregon, where I grew up, he had this store called the leather bench.

And like, if anything went wrong with your glove, he'd built boots and shoes and things like that, but he's the guy to fix your glove.

Right.

I don't know.

This, uh, comes to us from Billy B. in Ontario, Oregon.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

So I think it's, I think it's still Ontario.

I don't think they've renamed it America, Oregon.

We don't start in a gleaming metropolis or a space station.

We start in Ontario, Oregon.

Right.

Not exactly the shining city of tomorrow.

I've actually experienced this one time.

Uh, it was in the very first probably six months that Sue and I were living here in Ontario, Oregon.

We'd moved here, you know, a little over 25 years ago to start this fellowship.

Came from the Seattle area, where we owned a home, sold it, m- moved down here, only to find out that the sale up there went belly up.

Yeah.

TFP Therapeutic Services in Ontario has created a private fenced garden with a cabana, pillows, curtains, and misters where women veterans can sit, meditate, practice yoga, or spend time together.

These are women receiving support for post-traumatic stress disorder and military sexual trauma Executive director Tess Shellenberger explained that sometimes healing starts with having somewhere that you feel comfortable and safe.

And there are six women participating now, and they dedicated that space on September 26th.

Tess told her office manager to feed them, and of course, more cats followed.

[laughs]

They eventually joined Ontario's Feral Cat Program and began caring for an official cat colony.

The new memorial honors Joseph Joe Johnson, who was working at TFP as a mental health provider, and he was killed in the line of duty in April of 2023 while serving as a Nisa police officer.

Time changes every 13 miles by one minute.

But over the years, because of commercial uses, mountain time extends all the way into eastern Oregon because years ago, the trade for, say, like Ontario and this and that country was in Idaho.

So they were put on the same time.

As Idaho, half of Idaho should be in Pacific, half of it should be in mountain time.

And so it zigs, it zags, it jags.

But changing it is absolutely canoots.

If you want to be on Mountain Time in Ontario, Oregon, fine.

But why do you want to change it back and forth, back and forth, back and
