Molalla Pioneer

Not everything fits in the newspaper.


Why buy today’s Molalla Pioneer? Here’s why!

Here are some of the stories you’ll find in the Wednesday, May 16 issue of the Molalla Pioneer. If you buy the paper you’ll get to read these stories, plus quite a few other interesting items.

Ouch, that had to hurt!

Police were called to a Colton home last Sunday morning after a 37-year-old man accidentally shot his wife in the leg while cleaning a pistol in the bedroom. His 33-year-old wife said, “It was quite the ordeal. My husband felt really bad about it.” The woman’s femur, that’s the big bone in your thigh, was broken by the bullet that went clear through. She was taken to a Portland hospital by helicopter. She’s currently recovering from her wound. The entire story, by reporter Abby Sewell, can be found on Page 1 or by clicking here.


Wanna get even?

Among many fun things offered by the organizers of this year’s Spring Fling, is a pie auction will give Molalla-area residents a chance to bid on a chance to pie a few prominent local people in the cara, that’s the face in Spanish for you non-Spanish speakers! There’s a rumor that Pioneer reporter Abby Sewell is one of the victims as well as one of Molalla’s finest among well-known others. So if you didn’t like something we wrote in the paper or if you are still feeling resentful about that spendy speeding ticket you got last year, you are in luck. Just make a bid and hit us with your best shot. To learn more about what’s going on next weekend, read the full story on Page 1 or by clicking here.

Remember what they say about the squeaky wheel?

After some folks made it publicly clear to the Molalla River School District Board of Education that they strongly opposed shutting down the high school metalworking program to pay for a new social studies teacher, the board found other money to pay for the new teacher. The rest of the story is on Page 1.
