Chuck Jordan was born and raised in Winona, Wash. He raises cattle and farms wheat. His great-uncle was the first in the family to come to the Palouse and his great-grandfather followed shortly after in 1892 and created the homestead that Chuck and his wife live on today. Chuck smiled as he shared that he has had three different addresses in his life but has never lived in another location. Although the location hasn’t changed, the address did as the postal service came in and then later made changes in the routes, once again changing his a...

With western wildfires growing in size and destroying more homes, farms and businesses, there is a need for new tools and approaches. The infernos are spreading so fast they are outstripping our ability to fight them in traditional ways. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Chronicle reported last November: “Over the course of just a few weeks, a major fire can pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than California’s many climate change programs can save in 12 months. Scientists debate whether California’s vast forests are emitting more carbo... Full story
My first teaching job was in a Spokane middle school. I was hired for one semester while an experienced teacher had both knees replaced. It was an interesting assignment. A week or so after I began, I was given notes for the kids to take home announcing an upcoming open house. I assumed I was included, so I showed up at the announced date and time to discover I was the only teacher there. The principal informed me that this activity was not in the union contract, and teachers were not allowed to attend. As I was not a member of the union, it...
Once again, Frank Watson, you are the good Company Man, doing the dirty work of your CEO and Wall Street buddies by bashing the American worker (April 26, 2018.) In this coming November election, voters in Eastern Washington will have a choice for Congress: the same old, entrenched, anti-worker, Cathy McMorris Rodgers or the new, capable and pro-worker, Lisa Brown.

Let's face it, the United States of America's government is not a democracy like the textbook propaganda claims. No matter the intent of the founders, we have evolved into a pay-to-play oligarchy, where money rules. I have to say, I appreciate it when someone is so honest about his or her own dishonesty. Rarely, however, is someone so candid as Mick Mulvaney. He now heads the Trump administration's Office of Management and Budget, and even more damagingly, has been appointed by the president, on an interim basis, to head the Consumer Financial...
These reports are from the previous four issues of the Daily Bulletin in Colfax. They are reprinted here for the benefit of Gazette readers who reside outside of Colfax. Some accounts have been updated. Aftermath Crews continue to clear the tracks north of Palouse where a Washington & Idaho freight train derailed April 20. Grain cars on the train went off the tracks about one-and-one-half miles north of Palouse where the line runs along the east side of the North Fork of the Palouse River....
Soon we observe a day to recognize a certain type of person. To many they are heroes; in some cases villains. These people have shaped nations and destroyed monsters. They have clothed the naked—even when the naked preferred to stay that way—and fed the hungry despite protests about the character of the food. They have lifted up those who have fallen and cried with those who weep. They have comforted, counseled and provided almost magical-type healing. They have sacrificed; time, energy, money and their own bodies. Many times with little to... Full story

With the closing of all Toys R Us stores as the latest news about struggling retail chains and malls around the country, the blame goes mostly to the behemoth of online retail. How much of a factor is that? It may be less than it seems. Toys R Us, for instance, flourished from the late '70s through the early '90s. It came apart in the early-2000s to now. Looking at what they were selling during these two eras shows evidence of another cause: a cultural failing. In Toys R Us' glory days, they had Star Wars figures, Hello Kitty, G.I. Joe (small f...
