Good morning, Salem.

Salem offers a busy week with a $5 family clay workshop (Sunday at the Willamette Art Center), an Oregon Symphony piano concert on Friday at Willamette University's Smith Auditorium, an UNO tournament on Saturday at Ratchet Brewery, and live performances on Tuesday at the Elsinore and Grand Theatres.

Oregon law says a driver cannot flash high beams as a courtesy since beams are not allowed within 500 feet of oncoming cars; law enforcement may choose not to cite minor flashes + officials noted drivers sometimes flash to signal low-light conditions.
