For more than three decades, Cathlamet's halls have echoed with the laughter, music, and wisdom of Janine Davidson-a teacher whose story is woven deeply into the fabric of the community. Janine's path to the classroom began in a small school in Rosburg, where a lively fifth-grade teacher named Mr. Bob Burkhalter changed her life. Mr. Burkhalter had a knack for making every day an adventure. He teased his students, called them by their fathers' names, and-most importantly-he made learning fun....

DAMP START. After some very warm temperatures last week, this week starts with a bit of moisture once again, but then it will dry out. With fall starting this past Monday, we shouldn’t be experiencing any more of those eighties and ninety-degree temperatures anymore. Of course, Mother Nature could throw us a curveball and surprise us, but I hope not. I’m really feeling the nip in the air at nighttime now and those early mornings too, so I think it’s time to add a blanket to the bed and get the sweatshirts and sweatpants on top of the clothing p...

When Wallie Garvey invited me to his home for an interview, I was glad he had warned me to bring a four-wheel drive vehicle. His house sits far from the main road and getting there is not for the faint of heart. Several miles down Altoona-Pillar Rock Road on a sunny afternoon I reached the steep, rocky climb that snakes up through the trees toward his property. I'm no stranger to tricky roads, so I shifted our Dodge Ram into four-wheel drive and forged ahead. It's not a road I'd want to tackle...

Wanting to not only work in communities of 2,000 people or less, as well as being closer to his aging mother and father in Los Angeles, Calif., Watkins, along with his wife and son,...
