The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Harry R. Truman was probably Mount St. Helens’ biggest celebrity. He became a folk hero in the weeks preceding the May 18 eruption by refusing to leave the Mt. St. Helens Lodge on the shores of Spirit Lake. He had been the caretaker of the lodge for over 50 years.
Viva Las Vegas strips for a living at Mary’s Club in downtown Portland. And although she is proud of the work she does and isn’t bothered by the prospect of being defined by it, she does bring a unique range of other experiences with her to the stage that give the dance a kind of distinction. She is an author, a musician, a Williams College graduate, and the daughter of a preacher. She is also a breast cancer survivor.…
A video feature of Walter Cole, the man behind Portland’s bawdy and beloved female impersonator.
For 60 years, fishermen have been dipping their lines into the Willamette along “The Wall” in Oregon City. At the end of March, that will be illegal.
Steve Gass invented SawStop, which brings a table saw blade spinning at over 100 miles per hour to a stop in 3 milliseconds.
Nehalem Kunkle-Read, a 12 year-old Oregon girl, had never seen ice hockey, freestyle skiing or curling before setting off to see the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. She reports on the Olympics and the people she met over her 2-day trip.
The six seniors stand shoulder pad-to-shoulder pad under their own goal post. It’s raining sideways and an aching chill is setting in, but no one lets on about any of this. Teammates, coaches, parents and friends line up in single file to deliver one last hug to the six. Alex Lende, Brandon Gilbertson, Zach Dillon, Ryan Cochran, Levi Timmerman and Charels Tungwenuk leave the field for the last time bathed in mud, their bodies steaming as rain smacks their skin. There is no championship for the Vernonia Loggers this year, not even a win, but there are plenty of smiles. Four of these boys have played together since third grade, and they are all close friends. Despite losing 27-6 to Warrenton, the six agree that the season was a success. It gave them one more opportunity to solidify their friendship, lay a few licks and have some fun. Their football dreams began in the humidity and grit of late summer when fresh-cut grass clung to the skin and sweat stung the eyes. Summer is a time when all football dreams seem possible. But for all of them, expectations eventually bow to results. Winning eluded the Loggers this year, luck disowned them. The Vernonia team played the entire season without winning even one coin flip. And in their overtime game against Neah-Kah-Nie, they lost the flip twice. Nine times in eight games, the Loggers’ captains walked to midfield for the ritual to decide who gets or gives the ball first, and nine times they lost. By the time Friday’s flip rolled around, the result was a foregone conclusion, a nugget of team lore to be rewound when the six friends reunite and talk about the 2009 Loggers.…
Sheridan and Willamina played football again last Friday, just as they have for as long as anyone here can remember. Neighbors were shoulder to shoulder in the stands, the aroma of barbecue pork ribs filled the air and the promise of rain morphed into a golden fall evening, dry and warm. No one here seems to know exactly when this rivalry caught fire. Heck, they can’t even agree when the first game between these two Willamette Valley schools was played. Maybe it was 1926, say the folks in Sheridan; maybe it was sooner, say the folks from Willamina. But they do agree on one matter: They each despise losing to the other. No victory is sweeter, no defeat more numbing than the one against the school five miles down the road. The two towns are tucked along a stretch of Oregon 18, Business route, so you might miss them as you travel between McMinnville and the Coast. Even if you don’t, there’s not much difference, at least to the casual observer. But don’t tell that to folks who live here. Roy Zimbrick, 75, a 1953 graduate of Willamina, says it comes down to this: His town, which once boasted 11 mills, is a logging town. Sheridan, blessed with land, is a farm town. The loggers and farmers see the world differently, according to Zimbrick, and to claim superiority, you have to win on the field. Zimbrick should know. He played right halfback for the Bulldogs in his last game against Sheridan. Both teams were undefeated that night in 1953, recalls Zimbrick. The winner would be league champion. Zimbrick is so clear about the game that he can pencil out his team’s starting lineup on a piece of paper. And he still carries the juice of that night’s victory, too. You can hear it in his voice as he cheers this year’s Bulldogs from his seat along the 50-yard line, where he has watched almost every home game for the past 50-plus years. A few rows away is DeArmond Bockes, 80, a 1947 graduate of Sheridan. Bockes weighed less than a 100 pounds in high school, but still lettered in about every sport the Spartans played. He had dialysis treatment before Friday’s game but the way Bockes sees it, there’s never a good reason to miss a possible Spartan victory against the Bulldogs. So with both towns’ residents gathered here, the teams played not only for pride but, just like in 1953, for something else, too. The league title was probably out of reach, but the winner of this year’s game would be guaranteed a spot in the state playoffs. The loser would have to wait and see if it would get in. Sheridan scored the first 12 points, but Willamina the next 29 to secure the win. After the game, the Sheridan players departed the field in a single file line and boarded the bus for the longest five-mile ride of the season. Willamina players, meanwhile, lingered on their field, bathed in the glow of the best win of the year.…
The first player breaks through the darkness a little after 5 in the morning. Others trickle behind, their movement stirring the aroma of wild sage, which hangs heavy in the morning air. Teenage voices float through the predawn darkness as more kids trudge toward the idling school bus waiting to take them on a big adventure — as well as to a football game and a volleyball match. They will be gone from home for almost 23 hours, travel 552 miles and cross into a different time zone. They will ride from the middle of Oregon to near the Idaho border. The reason the football team is not alone is that girls volleyball matches are scheduled at the same time so schools can save on expenses. Everyone rides the same bus. That means that on travel days, 27 of 40 students from Mitchell High School are on the bus. And for some, like freshman Dustin Collins, 14, this trip will be the first time he’s ever been to Burns or Jordan Valley. Dustin starts the morning with $14, money his mother gave him for the two meals the team would eat along the way, but he wins another dollar from his older brother Kolton, 15, by sucking in a full breath from Kolton’s open shoe. Dustin says the smell nearly turned his stomach but by the time he pocketed the bill, he is smiling, looking forward to the stop at McDonalds on the way home. The brothers sit together for some of the trip, exchanging thoughts about what they can see from their window: the absence of trees, the probability of snakes, the open country, the happiness a cowboy might find in the geography. Playing sports can be a major effort east of the Cascades, where schools like Mitchell often have to combine with a nearby schools simply to have enough players for a team. Then they travel huge distances just to get a game. Mitchell, for example, makes round trips of 400 miles or more as many as four times a season when playing schools such as Jordan Valley, Adrian, Harper or Huntingon. The trips become even more frequent during basketball season. For the past several years, the towns of Mitchell and Spray, separated by 36 crooked miles along Oregon 207 in Wheeler County, have combined forces to make sure they’d have enough players to field an eight-man football team. Now they come together as the Mitchell-Spray Logger-Eagles. Spray wears red helmets, Mitchell blue helmets, but otherwise they dress as one. Kickoff comes at 2 p.m. MDT and despite a good effort, the Logger-Eagles drop a 40-34 heartbreaker to the Jordan Valley Mustangs. The volleyball team fares no better, losing in straight sets. Then it’s back on the bus and into the gathering dusk. Just 276 miles to go.…
Matt Zachary shuts his eyes during the moment of silence. His wife, Stacie, holds hers open. They sit side by side, dressed in black T-shirts adorned with the number 64 and the name of their eldest son printed on the front. More than two dozen extended family members sit with them, tears sliding down some cheeks. On the field, Mason Zachary, the couple’s younger son and a senior on the Culver team, holds his helmet against his belly, his full head of hair bathed in light from the field lights. It’s homecoming Friday night at Culver, where The Bulldogs drop a 35-0 game to Santiam. It is also a time to reflect on a run of sad stories for this small Central Oregon town just off of U.S. 97 between Madras and Redmond. Over the past few years, Culver has endured the deaths of several teenagers, perhaps none of them more profound than the loss of Matt Austin Zachary, who shares the same name as his father. Matt was captain and star player on the Bulldogs’ 2007 state championship team. He collapsed and died nine days before graduation last year. An autopsy concluded that Matt died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition that no one knew he had. Matt and Mason were teammates their whole lives. Matt played center and linebacker, Mason plays center and linebacker; Matt wore number 64, Mason wears number 64. And at the end of the season, the number will be the first in Culver sports history to be retired. “It changes everything,’’ when you lose a child, says Stacie Zachary. Boys still drop by the house as they did when Matt was alive. But it’s a different group now and, at least in the minds of Stacie and Matt, winning is less urgent. Sometimes the football team meets at the Zacharys’ house for a pregame meal, as it did before Friday’s game. It’s Mason’s way to encourage togetherness. Stacie and Matt feed them baked potatoes, pressed ham and cheese sandwiches, deviled eggs and fruit salad. From the metal bleachers, majestic peaks fade against a cobalt sky and the scent of farmland blends into the breeze. Trucks and cars are shined, fresh flowers cut, and the band is playing, but 30 seconds of silence remind everyone that life can sometimes deal a harsh hand.…
