Story and Photos by Chere Weiss • Once upon a time, some clever Brits nicknamed the fungus that causes fermentation of grapes, ‘noble rot’ and the moniker was a good fit for the vision of owner and developer Kimberly Bernosky in 2002. Up the elevator and on the fourth floor of the Burnside Rocket Building at Eleventh and Burnside, you will find top notch and affordable food, an impressive wine list and creative bartender. When the sun sets, the panoramic vista of Portland lit up will make you want to hunker down in your booth and take up temporary residence. Noble Rot goes the distance in sustainability and sports a 3000 square foot organic garden on the rooftop that supplies produce and inspiration 7 months out of the year.

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 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.

By Perry Piper • I’m driving back home late at night and struggling to keep my eyes on the road after a fun night with my love. I keep glancing over at her, there in the passenger seat, smiling as I look back at the highway speeding at me. Wrapped up so tightly and with such beautiful lace; she was enticing me to reach over and start undoing it, but I must wait until we get home. Alas, the next thing I know, my instincts overpower me and I am biting large chunks out of her . . .

Story and Photos by Chere Weiss • Mardi Gras is the weekend celebration leading up to Ash Wednesday and the solemn sacrifices of Lent. In the Catholic tradition, Lent is a time of giving up indulgences, so back in the day they partied until "Fat Tuesday" (so named because it was a time of using up all the fat and rich foods before the fasting began) hiding behind masks so their frolicking could be incognito.

STORY & PHOTOS BY LAURA BAIRD • Downtown Castle Rock has quite a bit to offer shoppers, and though I hate to overuse the word "quaint," it really is appropriate. One shop I had the pleasure of visiting is Focus Art & Frame, near Hattie’s restaurant.
