By Suzanne Martinson • My first inkling that I was out of step started at my nephew’s wedding when the bride and her bridesmaids kept on their formal gowns, but changed into cowboy boots, the better to stomp heels at the reception.
Everyday Ethics • By Rick Pope • You will have legal protection if your employer retaliates against you for whistleblowing to a workplace safety agency, or a nondiscrimination agency. This legal protection against retaliation exists even if your complaint is found to be invalid. But if retaliation occurs, as my father-in-law the probate judge used to say, in law, “It’s not what happened—it’s what you can prove happened.”
By Alan Rose • Oskar’s father perished in the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. As he attempts to come to grips with his loss, he finds in his father’s closet an envelope with “Black” written on it and a key inside. Believing that this key unlocks some secret about his father, Oskar sets out to find every person with the name Black in New York City. In his quest, he encounters others who are struggling with their own sense of loss and grief.
By Suzanne Martinson • When you have fresh ingredients from close to home, a custard pie is golden as the sun, smooth as cream, delicious as a first kiss.
Story by Michael Perry, with assistance from Mike Clark • In the early 1900s, the only way to move automobiles across the major rivers was by ferry. History tells us there were many such ferries in the 1800s that transported horse-drawn wagons and, later, automobiles. One of the most amazing ferries carried an entire train from Goble, Oregon, across the Columbia to Kalama, Washington; the train ferry operated from 1883 until 1908, when a railroad bridge was built across the Columbia from Portland to Vancouver.

Hook, Line and Sinker • By John L. Perry • A few wild pheasants hold forth in undeveloped habitat along the Columbia, Cowlitz and Willamette valleys but not enough to warrant much hunting effort. There still is good pheasant habitat here and there; half of my farm’s acreage is brushy riparian land, much of it improved with wildlife food plots, shrub and hardwood plantings and noxious weed control, while the other half grows wheat and Christmas trees with “messy” fencerows. Similarly, the neighbors on both sides have restored much of their wildlife habitat in conjunction with on-going Calapooia Watershed Council projects along the river.
By Ned Piper • I now have a better understanding of my parents’ feelings when I announced that Paul “Man in the Kitchen” Thompson and I were going to Europe. They didn’t want me to go. They were worried about my safety. The furthest I’d ever been from home was when my grandparents took me to church convention in the Los Angeles area. A late bloomer, I’d never handled money, never been on a train, booked a hotel room, or bought a meal in a restaurant.
By Sue Piper • I enjoy crossing the Rainier Bridge. Its design and river view is appealing, visually. But I also see it as a symbolic “connector” in my own life and between all our communities. Most people who’ve lived around here for any length of time have their own Rainier Bridge memories.
By Mike Clark • In 1925 Congress passed an act authorizing the bridge, providing that both states agreed. Washington said “Yes,” but Oregon, now cooling to the idea and maybe feeling it made a mistake, elected to turn the decision over to the Port of Portland whose quick answer was “NO!” They didn’t want anything that could possibly obstruct shipping to its ports. Of course, Longview wasn’t about to give up and set forth promoting it.
