by Ben Garvin of the St. Paul Pioneer Press

A 3-part series on a soldier returning from Iraq to be married. Amanda Ploog, the returning soldier, and her fiance Paul Barker waited almost two years to be reunited. Garvin's project begins with the family's preparation for Ploog's return, continues with the couple getting used to being together again after two years apart, and ends with the wedding. Garvin says, "...a project I'm especially proud of that I know I wouldn't have done had it not been for Kalish."

Faculty work: "It's like it flows through our blood."

By Torsten Skellstrand, The Oregonian

Always Celilo -- "No falls. Fewer fish. Marginal land. Why stay?"

Before people, before governments, before treaties, forces collided at Celilo. Monsters, a creation story goes, dammed the Columbia river so the salmon couldn't swim up it. But Coyote fought back. While the Monsters were away, Coyote dug at the dam for five days until the water ran free again and the rhythm of life resumed. Today there's a new dam built by the U.S. government that Coyote couldn't claw through.
