Coast Chronicles: Pans with a purpose - Chinook Observer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 5:10 pm Sunday, September 27, 2026 It’s either the grocery store or the post office where news gets shared, and last week was no different. Tom Downer, owner of Jack’s Country Store, caught up to me in the cracker aisle and told me an amazing and amusing small town tale. Here it goes. Every six months or so Tom orders the classic Jack’s cast iron pans from Lodge Manufacturing with the store logo on the bottom. Generally the shipment takes a couple months to arrive. When Tom made his mo

Published 8:18 am Sunday, August 30, 2026 Those were the days, my friend.We thought they’d never end. A couple nights ago sister Starla and I went up to the Yakima Memorial Hospital parking lot to watch the last half off the lunar eclipse. It was spectacular and so wonderful to understand what was happening—as opposed to looking up at the night sky and thinking demons were eating the moon. There were only two other people watching; everyone else was blithely pulling their cars in and out between

Fred Johnson, on his Homegrown Farm in Naselle, was that kind of person in spades. As Dido Meeker, one of the Astoria Coop staff members, said to me last week, “Every once in awhile Fred would call and say, ‘We’ve got to talk—I have some ideas!
Coast Chronicles: So, we’ll go no more a roving? — wrong! - Chinook Observer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 2:19 pm Sunday, August 9, 2026 Lord Byron’s famous 1817 poem talks about getting older, about the days of wild youth and adventure being replaced by the loss of physical energy and the need for rest, even though desire still remains. Well, maybe, maybe not. My father, the top West Coast salesman for Bemis Brothers Bag Inc., a commercial packaging company, spent a lot of time on the road talking to farmers. His territory was Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and the Western part of Montana, an
