Everyday Ethics • By Rick Pope • Many baseball fans come to games to savor the play, the players, the athletic striving, the competitive strategy, the color, the ballpark, the summer outdoors and the companionable shared experience inherent in this quintessentially American pastime. . . a small number of others come to indulge in varying degrees their loud and aggressive side.
Let the People Drink Wine: Reininger's Helix Syrah 2007 • By Randy Sanders • This Syrah has all the things Syrah lovers seek: huge, bold, almost blackish-red color with that smokey, stout quality. This wine is great when paired with steak and seafood and, surprisingly, priced at just $29 a bottle. Sure, it’s a bit too expensive to drink as an every night wine, but as a weekend wine or for special guests, you’re getting a flavor that’s easily in the neighborhood of wines that sell for $50 to $60 a bottle.
“Treasure Hunt around the River” lacks a certain spark and pizzazz, don’t you agree? Please share ideas for a better name for this 10-day event.

Whosever idea sparks the ultimate name gets the first pick from our CIC Daily Prize Pile
By Rick Pope • Our family made a 7:30pm reservation at a nice restaurant and showed up a little early. Two couples had our table and appeared to be finishing. At 8pm they were still talking. The waiter said they had been there since 5 and was irritated they weren’t ordering any more. . .
Hook, Line and Sinker • Story and Photos by John L. Perry • Camas was one of the most important food plant staples of aboriginal Americans (Indians) in the western US, and for early explorers and settlers of the region. The plant occurs in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, northern California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. Members of the asparagus family, there are six species of Camas with Camas leichtlnii being the most common one found west of the Cascade Mountains.
SUE'S VIEWS • By Susan P. Piper • Isn’t it great to live in any of the communities around the Columbia River? Our region is peppered with charming towns, each with its own history, texture and spirit. Whether we’re talking about Clatskanie, Rainier, Castle Rock, St. Helens, Woodland, Kalama, Kelso, Longview, Cathlamet, Scappoose or Columbia City, all of our towns appeal in distinct ways.
Lower Columbia Informer • By Perry Piper • “Cloud” is the new buzzword for server-accessible information. This means that if you are at home and post an electronic sticky note to the cloud, your co-workers at the office will instantly see it. Unlike email messages being sent back and forth, any change made on one end will affect all others in real-time so that everyone will see it.
Everyday Ethics • By Rick Pope • One of the reasons I don’t like flying is the cramped quarters in coach. Last time I flew I had the misfortune of sitting behind someone who reclined his seat back as soon as the airline rules allowed. He left it that way for the rest of the flight. Is it ethical to recline your seat back on a long flight in coach?
By John L. Perry • Near my house along the road to town (Brownsville, Oregon) is a 2-acre pond with a tiny island in the middle. This islet, about the size of a desktop, usually extends two feet above the water’s surface. For the past three years a Canada goose hen has laid a clutch of eggs on that high spot. After several weeks incubation, they hatch and downy goslings emerge. This year the mated pair of geese reappeared the first week in March, as usual; soon the female produced half a dozen eggs and began incubation.
It’s a rough time for young people these days who are looking for jobs to pay for college, or full time jobs to pay off college loans. I grew up at a time when jobs were available, high paying summer jobs at the local mills. Some of my friends who got summer jobs at Weyerhaeuser, Fibre or Reynolds Metals continued their employment, eventually carving out comfortable livings for themselves and their families.
