PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Oregon bakery owners who denied service to a same-sex couple have paid $135,000 in state-ordered damages – after refusing to do so for nearly six months.

ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) – Authorities say they have found the three missing snowboarders who failed to return from Mount Ashland as planned – alive and well. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office says the men went to the mountain Sunday morning. A family member alerted the sheriff’s office to the missing group when they didn’t return the next day. They were found in good condition.
ONTARIO, Ore. (AP) – Authorities are looking for an Oregon man and an Idaho man following the shooting in the head of another man in eastern Oregon near the Idaho border.

The injured man was taken to a hospital in Ontario. His condition hasn’t been released.
