• Oregon City urges Clackamas County leaders to back flavored tobacco ban (koin.com) — Oregon City's commission has unanimously urged Clackamas County and its cities to join a ban on flavored tobacco sales, arguing it would help curb youth vaping. With similar bans already upheld in Multnomah and Washington counties, local leaders want a countywide response to their letter by Oct. 30, potentially shaping future enforcement and funding at both county and city levels.
   

• Anthony Newman preps for first year with West Linn football (youroregonnews.com) — West Linn's new head football coach, Anthony Newman, actually lives just minutes away in Oregon City, giving him close ties to the broader community he'll represent this fall. The longtime defensive coordinator and former NFL safety is stepping into the top job after years of coaching experience, emphasizing character-building and off-field memories as much as wins and losses.
