We had a e-mail today letting us know about Community Supported Agriculture farms in the Hillsboro and Helvetia areas. 

Community Supported Agriculture is a membership opportunity for locals to buy into other locals farms and receive wonderful fruits and vegetables. Buying local and organic is becoming more and more important for health and community. These farms offer opportunities to persons that do not have the space or time to grow themselves. Some of the most beautiful farms in the area are CSA's. 

One of them is Sweet Oregon Farm out in the Hillsboro area. Check it out!

“I want ‘em. I can taste ‘em. I want to catch ‘em,” Devin Heard said Tuesday recounting how he watched three teenagers vandalize his mailbox with graffiti Saturday.

At first Heard said he didn’t know what the three teenagers standing near his mailbox at the head of his driveway were up to, but on Tuesday he pointed to the remnants of paint on the mailbox as evidence of what the teens did.

Hillsboro police said the teenagers hit 32 sites; some of them were at a Hillsboro shopping center.

“Then I ran down and got in my car. I was still on the phone with 9-1-1 and said, ‘I’m going to chase after them’. I said, ‘I want ‘em,’” Heard said.

Neighbors pointed out the teenagers who had hid in some shrubs to police.
