Literary journal speaks to life in the Gorge

  • By Mark Gibson Columbia Gorge News
  • Updated

The second annual Literary Journal of Columbia Gorge Community College, Otolith, was released this spring and is available at the college bookstore.

Writing as managing editor, Kendra Bettelyoun introduced the publication:

"CGCC offers a wealth of experience. It is a confluence. A place where paths varied by age, income, ethnicity and personal history, meet and travel together for a time towards educational enrichment," she wrote. "In the pieces chosen for this edition, you will find many examples of human connection."

COMMENTARY: Even offensive letters have value

As editor of the Columbia Gorge News, I’m sometimes asked why we print a specific letter the reader finds deeply offensive.

It’s a good question, and I understand the reader’s consternation.

We review every letter according to our published policies. Those policies are weighted toward allowing our readers to speak freely on topics they believe are important.
