• Milwaukie record shop asks for help identifying burglar after $5,000 in records and cash stolen (kgw.com) — A burglary at B-Side Record & Vintage on Southeast Main Street in Milwaukie left the shop out about $5,000 in records and cash, including consignment items. Owners shared a surveillance photo of the masked suspect, are working with Milwaukie police, and have launched a GoFundMe as neighbors stop by with support to help them recover. 
• Woman Dies After Vehicle Struck By Amtrak Train In Milwaukie (kxl.com) — A woman died after an Amtrak train struck her car Monday at the Southeast Harrison Street and 31st Avenue railroad crossing in Milwaukie, prompting hours-long road closures and nearby power outages. Milwaukie police, Clackamas Fire, and crash investigators say the car was stopped on the tracks with crossing arms down, and they’re asking anyone with information to contact the department’s tip line.
• How popular Bing cherries got their name in 19th-century Oregon (seattletimes.com) — Milwaukie plays a quiet starring role in the origin story of Bing cherries, which were first grown at Seth Lewelling’s orchard in town and named for Chinese foreman Ah Bing. A new children’s book reimagines his life while touching on anti-Chinese discrimination, and the piece closes with a simple candied cherry recipe for extending cherry season at home.
