![MORE THAN A GAME. With two diving catches in the outfield, the Lions showed up defensively, aiding in their victory over the Pacers. One catch was made by Atwood, and the other by McGraw. Throughout the game, the Lions knew that it wasn’t just about their victory today. “I think [playing for cancer] makes it bigger than just a game,” McGraw said. “Knowing that you have a bigger impact in this world than just who you are as one person.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/I70A1454-1-1200x800.jpg)

The students brought a variety of paints and mixed their own custom colors. “Instead of brushstrokes, we’re doing more dabbing, because it gives [a] better impression of tree foliage, rather than looking like actual brush strokes, because if we’re painting trees, we need it to look like trees,” Crawford said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2397-1200x900.jpg)
West Linn Farmer’s Market moves to Sundays
The West Linn Farmer’s Market has been moved this year from Wednesdays to Sundays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The market has been pushed back to better suit the needs of both vendors and attendees.
“Attendees want to see more farmers, but we were often told last year by farmers that our hours didn’t work for them,” Shannon Knight, director of the Farmer’s Market, said. “They are out at 5 or 6 a.m. farming and having a market that ended at 8 p.m. meant they didn’t get home until way too late with their early mornings.”
Planners of the market also felt uncomfortable competing with Oregon City’s Farmers Market, which was held at the same time. Changing the date to Sundays means that most of the businesses in the Willamette area will be closed, which eases the burden on parking and traffic issues.
“So far the feedback has been very positive, so we think it was the right decision,” Knight said.
The Farmer’s Market opened this year on May 21 and will continue until Sep. 13.
