About the local high school stadium
Here in Lebanon Oregon, the city has only one high school that is a major part of the community.
Friday night football games can pack the stadium and it's support has helped the team even win the state championship in 2016 (Class 5A).
While the turf and the track have seen some recent upgrades, the covered stadium has not.
This year, the stadium had to be shut down for safety concerns.
While it looks stable on the outside, the seating area has cracked concrete with exposed re-bar.
There are wooden railings that are patched with 2 X 4's.
There are concerns with the safety of the roof as well.
Built in 1957, Heath Stadium was built with pride from the local lumber community but today, it is surrounded by chain link fencing.
This year, T-Mobile has been supporting local high schools, across the United States, with financial grants through participation with social media activities and other school projects.
While Lebanon High School has received a $25,000 grant for their participation, the school is in second place to get a $1 million grant to build a new stadium.
From now until October 24th, T-Mobile will be collecting votes (by entering your email address).

You can vote every day through October 24th. Entering multiple e-mail addresses is OK.
The end of Windows 10
Support for Windows 10 will discontinue on October 15th.
Since it's release in August of 2015, it has been in use not only for computers at home but also the brief time they were operating Windows Phones.
This year, server upgrades updated equipment to Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 to take advantage of the security chip features as well as less power consumption and improvement to storage using solid state hard drives.
Some older computers may not work with Window 11. As a result of this, the Linux section of the website will be featuring how Linux can be used on these machines through the use of Ubuntu.
The upgrade to Windows 11 is free but fees may apply after October 15th.
Linux Tutorials
Many server farms use Linux as the primary operating system. Even this farm uses it as an operating system (along with Windows 11 and Windows Server).
Linux operates a great deal of our cloud and data base services. While there are more support people and clients using the system, it is now time to create Linux operating system classes.
Two of them will be created in November and December.
One class will cover the desktop version of Linux.
The second class will cover the commands using the terminal.
There are many things in your house that are already running Linux today. This can show you how it works.
