Teton Valley News · Local
Just 30 years after Teton County was founded, Denzil Burnside’s life in Teton Valley began. With 80 years as a local, Burnside has a strong connection to the land and its community, but he feels especially honored when Veterans Day rolls around.Programs put on by schools warm his heart, surprising him every year with their ability to memorize so much material to honor those who have served.Burnside was enlisted in 1967 in the Army National Guard, serving for three years and just over a year in Vietnam. Programs just for veterans remind him of how special the United States is to him. “It took people like me and everybody else and, [we] give up, die, for our country ... and it means so much,” he said. “People that serve in the country in the United States, they need to be proud of what they’ve done.”Veteran Michael Coyle, a 50-year local, also remembers his service, despite the confusion of serving in the Army during the Vietnam War.

Work on the Mill Creek Community Center in Woodburn continues to roll along, with plenty of positive benchmarks being reached. As of now, the wall framing is in place and crews are working on internal systems and services before sheetrock installation begins. Planning for the renovation began in spring 2025 and if all continues to go well, the grand opening is slated for sometime in winter 2027. How We Got Here In January 2025, Woodburn City Council members voted to move forward with a revised plan for the community center project, capitalizing on the $15 million grant awarded to Woodburn by the State of Oregon. This funding would allow the city to use available resources to upgrade the existing Aquatic Center and expand it to incorporate essential community center features without incurring additional costs to local taxpayers.

Common Quandary
Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.
The regular checkout lines are long and the express lane is empty. You count fourteen small items, two over the posted limit. A shopper approaches behind you carrying a single carton of milk as the cashier waves you forward.
Are small rules optional when enforcing them would seem fussier than breaking them?
