Early summer saw the departure of long-time Chief Organizational Officer (COO) and Clinical Supervisor (CS), Susan Moore, after 21 years of service to the clinic and t...

Last week’s installment vented more of the knock-on effects of the closing of hundreds of bricks-and-mortar bookshops, the transition from them to bookstore-chain bookstores to superstores that sold books to on-line selling of books via the juggernaut of all juggernauts: Amazon. As we’ve collectively brushed neighborhood bookshops aside we’ve lost another bit of the Commons and, with it, an instant source of bibliotherapy. I might want to mention here the Frankfurt Schoo...
I often speak of the simple little things that add joy to life. We tend to think that bigger is better and capitalism has programmed us to want more, more, more when sometimes less is more. Great beauty can be found in simplicity. One of those beautiful, joyful little things is a gift of food, especially if that food is homemade or grown with a big dose of love. A couple of weeks ago, Maryhelen Peterson of Fossil gave me a jar of her homemade elderflower jelly. Since I had...

The DevilDawgs traveled across state lines to Walla Walla Washington in order to face perennial 1B (the WIAA equivalent to a 1A school in Oregon) powerhouse DeSales Fighting Irish. DeSales started out strong and let everyone know why they are consistently making runs into the WIAA playoffs. On the first DevilDawg drive the Fighting Irish forced a DevilDawg punt and the Irish would score just four plays later. DeSales would find the endzone again in the opening quarter before S...
Keith Baker, 73, is a Vietnam Veteran and was a highly experienced search and rescue team member with the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
