“Healing the Big River”
combines the art of visual
storytelling with essays, said a
press release.
“From the source, a tiny
spring in the Canadian Rock-
ies, to the sea, readers are
guided on a journey back to
the origins of the 1,243-mile
river and learn about the
complicated history and im-
pact of the Columbia River
Treaty. 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. And I want photos
listing. I have forbidden her School. I have dibs!

to even touch 1990, however
