Coda: At the 2022 Academy Awards, “Coda” became the first streaming service film to win Best Picture. Directed by Sian Heder, “Coda” (Child of Death Adults) tells the story of Ruby, the only hearing member in an all deaf family. Since her family relies heavily on her to assist with running their fishing business, Ruby has no plans of leaving Gloucester after high school, but after signing up for choir, she finds passion in singing and envisions a future in music.
A heart filled with faith and kindness is what drives Gail Lesperance from Spokane to help one of the poorest areas of the United States, the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Lesperance and her support group including family, friends, and other community partners work to fill multiple 26-foot box trucks with donations and then drive them out to Pine Ridge.
I had a stallion, named Day, that I wanted to put some time on and continue his training as a trail horse. I foolishly decided that if I took him for 3-4 days on the Pacific Crest Trail, he would be fully broke by the time I finished the ride. So I started at Snoqualmie Pass and headed south toward Crystal Mountain.
For some, their first instinct at seeing a coyote is to kill it. This is practical for some – as coyotes can take a toll on some livestock, but for others, they may be eliminating a very valuable asset to their property.

somewhere in the neighborhood of $9000. You can’t buy a used pickup that runs for that price today. Over the years I bought another house, got transferred and managed to buy another. All those years I paid the property taxes, which supported the schools and the streets. My wife and I now have a small place that may be our last. We have a fixed income and because the housing market has gone mad and sales prices are so high, the values go up and so do the taxes.
I were headed for Wilbur after a beautiful night camping in the channeled scablands near Twin Lakes. Everything had gone fine up until now.
When I saw the first crocus blossoms in front of my house this year, I almost cried tears of joy. This portent of spring is always a happy and welcomed sight. But this year, my first crocus sighting was especially rewarding.
The same day I saw my first crocus, my daughter looked at her phone and said, “Mom, it was two years ago today that we started online school from home because of COVID.”
to warm, and camping season opens, many great areas will be accessible through the season including Hawk Creek Campground, which lies about 20 minutes north of Davenport. Many consider it to be one of eastern Washington’s wonderful little hidden gems.
Nestled on Spokane’s lush Makagawa campus is a dreamy little school. If you’re near the Spokane River trails on any given Friday, you’ll see children from ages 3 to 12, geared up for our inland northwest weather, on their weekly hike down to the River. Rain or shine these children trek, guided by their teachers, to endure the weather and revel in the treasures our area and nature has to offer.
