Clackamas County Roundup: Happy Valley window fall; Wilsonville GOP candidate; Lake Oswego budget

Good morning, Clackamas County. You might've noticed the OregonLive website has a new look. Read all about the changes after you check out this morning's roundup of Clackamas County news:

Happy Valley: A four-year-old boy fell 15 feet from a window of a two-story house in Happy Valley last night, and was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The parents were preparing dinner when the child went upstairs, climbed a bunk bed to get onto the window sill and began kicking the screen, which eventually gave way, witnesses said.

Lake Oswego: The Lake Oswego City Council recently approved a $242,417,322 budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The budget maintains the current property tax rate, instead of one that remains flat as the budget committee recommended, and also provides funds for a streetsweeper replacement and other equipment replacements. The same council majority decided on the budget at its June 5 meeting, but because it would raise the tax rate above what the budget committee recommended, the decision had to be delayed for a second public review period. Wilsonville: John C. Davis, a real estate and business lawyer who lives in Wilsonville, announced Monday he too wants a shot at running for Rep. Matt Wingards Oregon House seat this fall. Davis joins Lindsay Berschauer, a 31-year-old conservative activist, in seeking the approval of Oregon Republican precinct members at a meeting July 9. Davis, 29, is an associate at law firm McEwen Gisvold.

Oregon City: Oregon City Mayor Doug Neely will have a little fun at the upcoming Clackamas County Historical Society annual meeting, when he portrays a mayor from more than a century ago, Dr. John McLoughlin. The performance from Neeley will be followed by Patrick Harris, who will finish up the historical society's "Cities of Clackamas County speaker series. The event is Thursday.

Events: Another Tuesday, another roundup of things to do in your area. This week's options include a lavender festival in Oregon City, featuring a botanical garden, a lavender U-pick and lavender ice cream. The free event will run from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat, June 30 and noon-5 p.m. Sun, July 1 at Oregon Lavender Farm, 20949 S. Harris Road. Vickie Kavanagh this morning also shares happenings in Happy Valley, Estacada, Sandy, Milwaukie, and Gladstone.
