Every so often I like to take a closer look at those many hardworking souls I take for granted. They’re the regulars in our lives — the invisibles. They serve faithfully, don’t reap an extravagant salary, and often put their physical and mental well-being on the line. I submit to you for closer appreciation a person with whom we may never make eye contact, let alone breathe a kind word to, even though we stand within two feet of him for several minutes — the grocery c

When I was introduced to my father-in-law, John Acy Campbell III, a special bond was formed. We had several things in common — a deep love for his daughter, for the Air Force and all things British. Red, his nickname, started flying at the age of 14, swapping sweeping-out hangers at a nearby airport for flying lessons. By the time WWII broke out, this young eager lad had more hours flying then most and he was anxious to get into the fight, using his flying skills to kill the bad guys. There was

You can get a derelict RV, too Not long ago, Oregon was considered a pristine, litter-free state that all who lived in or visited would not dump in. Nevertheless, while mushroom hunting recently on National Forest lands, I came across an intact large derelict RV (DRV); however, the next week, the DRV was burned out and left in our woods — dreadful. I find this a disturbing trend. This year a DRV was abandoned in my neighbor’s driveway. They awoke to an adornment of an ugly nature d

Don’t overreact to market Headlines about stock market declines use the words “loss,” “lost,” and it’s my belief we will see the words “made,” “gained,” etc. Many have expressed concern about investing. Their reluctance to invest in stocks may be those headlines, which can be deceiving. No one who has invested in the financial markets as a whole has either “gained” or “lost” money when the markets f

Mother’s Day celebrates the maternal, and that is not limited to childbirth. A lavish spring bouquet to all the women who cared for us with no less than a mother’s love. It’s taken me a lifetime, at age 63, to fathom the preciousness of motherhood, a blessing with my daughter and two granddaughters. Yet for many who lost that opportunity, Mother’s Day is a wistful reminder. The absence of children does not make any woman “less than,” and countless women

Frightened into submission FOX news, in the course of setting U.S. foreign and domestic policy via ownership of a president who doesn’t know anything, is finally able to sufficiently frighten the American people into submission. In addition, we have a Congress that is terrified of an electorate that they don’t understand. We are not under attack by Muslim terrorists, certainly not as much as from white American terrorists. We are not about to be invaded by caravans and hordes of Me

Salvage logging worth the costs? The U.S. Forest Service proposal for salvage logging in the Chetco Bar fire area is now open for comments. The term “salvage logging” may sound harmless, as though rescuing something valuable from a burned forest. Some say this practice reduces intensity of future wildfires, but studies show that is not the case. But there are long-term costs to salvage logging operations. Wildfires burn soils along with trees. Burned soils typically form a crusty layer, erosion-

An on-line outdoor apparel outfit ranks Oregon as the ninth best outdoor state, giving high marks for the activity rate of its residents and good numbers of campgrounds per person here. And if you think that rating is a bit low, just be glad you don’t live in Texas or Illinois. Those two states rank at the very bottom in a series of measurable metrics that the site MightyGoods.com used to judge states based on how easy it is to access and take advantage of nature. Those rankings enabled t

Support the parade After 80 years, I can’t help but think of all the men that have gone off to fight America’s battles, to protect our interests and our friends, never to return alive to this precious land, plus all who return and live with broken bodies and minds; my heart aches and my mind can hardly comprehend it. And to think, they made such sacrifice on my behalf! I’m amazed, proud and thankful that such a heroic spirit exist in this world. But it seems it is only at the cemetery that we sh

Look at other countries Some years back I read in a Seattle paper where a person built an incinerator to dispose of garbage. The big garbage companies didn’t want it so it was sold to India — why doesn’t some responsible person check in to see how these other countries get rid of their garbage — China, Japan, India and Korea. It might be quite an education for our politicians. Rogue Disposal can’t be completely blamed for clamping down on what is disposed of. W

Go see ‘Pankhurst’ Every day we hear complaints from women who are not being given pay equal to that of their male counter-parts. And that is true. However, there is one thing they can rejoice in: They have received the vote. And this happened because of a lot of hard work by women some years ago, fighting for women’s rights. One of these fighters was the British suffragette, Emmeline Pankhurst, who set up the Women’ Franchise League in 1898. Due to her hard work and
