Charges reduced in Albany shooting
Charges filed against James Brawley in connection with an Albany
shooting early Sunday were reduced Monday at his arraignment in
Linn County Circuit Court.
Fun in the sun
Although official visits to see the lambs at the Oregon State
University Sheep Center ended March 3, it doesn?t mean that lambing
season is finished. As Democrat-Herald photographer David Patton
discovered Monday afternoon, it?s in full swing. There are plenty
of lambs still to be seen throughout Linn and Benton counties. The
two youngsters above were enjoying the springlike weather, racing
through a field off Three Lakes Road south of Albany, while another
preferred nuzzling with its mother in the sunshine. Although the
sun had the lambs in a playful mood Monday, many mid-valley
residents woke up this morning to frosted windshields and even snow
flurries, reminding everyone that winter isn?t over. The National
Weather Service said more snow isn?t likely as daytime temperatures
rise into the 50s, but there is a 50 to 80 percent chance of rain
predicted through Friday. Spring doesn?t officially arrive until
Saturday, March 20.

MADRAS ?
