Opinion
Thank You Keizer
By JEFF COWEN As I was counting down my time here at Keizer Fire, the opportunity to pursue retirement became available and timely, and for the District to seek the next Fire Chief. My time in emergency services is 42 years with nearly fifteen years here at KFD. I am[Read More…]

Thor: Love and blunder
Of all the individual series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the one belonging to the god of thunder did not truly take flight and rise above middling-to-decent until the third entry, Taika Waititi’s excellent Thor: Ragnarok.

Moon Knight Review
Choosing to watch a movie or TV show based on a comic book property can be a daunting task these days if one isn’t, as the late legend Stan Lee would say, a “True believer.” Marvel Studio’s latest theatrical release, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has no less than four entries[Read More…]
