The 12 contributing authors, a mix of first nations, tribes, and salmon recovery advocates, speak of their rela- tionship to the Columbia and advocate for a new treaty that honors Indigenous knowl- edge and starts the process to restore one of the greatest salmon runs the world has ever seen,” said a press re- lease. “Peter could have pro- duced just a pretty coffee table book about the river.

HISTORY: Digging into the Hood River News archives continued from B2 1940, but I can find nothing in the 1930 archive book, so I’m assuming they started after 1930 and before 1940. I know, scientific!) They were not long col- umns, which makes sense; there wasn’t that much histo- ry piled up yet. “Forty years ago” was as ancient as it got. Its earliest incarnation didn’t bother much with dates and labeled each item by how many years had gone by since it happened. Over here in the future (that’s so weird to think about), I find it too much math: The date on the archive book minus the years on the column equals … who knows, really, because I don’t have the patience to figure it out. Editor Kirby Neumann-Rea says that Yesteryears respon- sibilities used to fall to the sportswriter. Items were recy- cled from decade to decade, and all that was “fresh” would be from the most current ar- chive book from the decade past. People would notice, of course, that they’d already read a particular event on a particular date. I mean, I did. I was once a reader, too. Anyway, it was former News Reporter Esther Smith who decided that the whole Yester- years system needed an over- haul. She started from scratch, pulling books and flipping through their contents. In those days, we had a full page devoted to Yesteryears, so there was enough room for two or three events per de- cade, plus a couple of photos and a verbatim each week. Esther’s main goal was to have someone touch the Hood River books — to be able to see what condition they were in as well as revamp how Yesteryears was presented. She went from event summaries that had been saved over the years to transcribing lines as they were written. I took over Yesteryears a couple of years into my News career, when Esther went from reporter to circulation manager. Her advice: Keep it fun. And that’s what I try to do. Recently, Reporter Emily Fitzgerald has started help- — that’s the year I graduated school reunion coming up ing me compile the weekly from Hood River Valley High this year.
