Pandemic hasn’t erased the opioid epidemic - CommonWealth Magazine
HE HAD JUST LOST his father to COVID-19. His dad had succumbed to this relentless disease while living in a long-term care facility. He was just beginning to cope with that loss. Then, it got worse. Get the Daily Download Our news roundup delivered every weekday. Email* Two weeks later, he lost his son. His son died after a long-term battle with opioid addiction, stolen by an epidemic that has been raging since well before the pandemic – and still rages today.
A summary, and a goodbye | Home Again
I wrote my first “Home Again” column for the Beacon nearly 15 years ago. Al Hooper was editor then, steeped in journalism. He became my mentor and friend, and I still miss him. I’ve known several other Beacon editors since Al’s time and watched their individual styles shape the Beacon, too. People ask how I come up with a topic after hundreds of columns. The world is full of topics! Either I know early on what my choice will be and begin typing, or I suffer through several false starts.
Trading 98020 for 98177 | Home Again
It’s been 15 years or so since I returned to my childhood home of Edmonds, pleased to find hints of the same small-town flavor my parents, my brother, my maternal grandparents and I discovered as we settled together into the old white house on the southwest corner of Fourth and Dayton. I was in second grade. Friendly neighbors.
Welcome home - home again | Home Again
Most people who rent apartments move on at some point, for one reason or another. A one-year or two-year lease ends, and the rent becomes month-to-month, little thought given to how permanent an arrangement that may be. Job situations or family needs change. Renters move. I just hadn’t given any thought to moving, until my landlord needed “my” condominium back for his own use. It was one thing to know I needed to find another home, but quite another to find that place.
Home again, and looking for a home | Home Again
Everything’s just totally out of balance these days, isn’t it? When I think of writing my column, the first week of each month, it’s hard to put words to my feelings. The events of the recent past overwhelm me – the COVID-19 existence of staying home, being careful – and sometimes being fearful. I mostly stay home. When I go out, I wear a mask to protect others. When others wear masks, they protect me, and everyone else they encounter. I like it when people look out for one another.
Justice must replace injustice | Home Again
Sometimes words in print come easily. For example, I can easily write about being the new girl in Mrs. Hall’s second grade class, in the old field house on Sixth Avenue. I can write about my childhood cat Butch, who left without notice one day and returned six months later for breakfast, noncommittal as to his travels. I can write about being 10 and chubby with an awful haircut and ugly glasses.
The grandeur of the Carnegie Library and Princess Theater | Home Again
I remember dozens of Edmonds destinations I favored when I was a child. We moved to Edmonds when I was 7. That’s when my Edmonds memories began. What place in town did I love nearly as much as home? The old Carnegie Library, now the Edmonds Historical Museum. My friend Mary and I practically lived there. That library existed during times when libraries posted signs saying “QUIET PLEASE.” We could sit anywhere we wanted, though, and feel welcome.

Why I subscribed to the Beacon | Home Again
I suppose my fears and anxieties pretty much mirror yours. No one has dealt with such a menace as the coronavirus, a rampant, widespread disease for which no cure exists – yet. My fears and anxieties hang around a lot, whether I am in the mode of "Stay Home, Stay Safe" or making an infrequent but necessary trip for food or meds. My daily walks ease my tension. I wish I could protect everybody. I wish I could protect anybody. I wish I could sleep all night. Anyway, all that's normal and predictable.
Name that cat | Home Again
Two weeks ago, Chuck Sigars began his Beacon column “Chuck’s World” with a two-sentence paragraph guaranteed to get my attention. Use the word “cat” and I’m there. I’m not suggesting that it was a rarity for me to hurry into Chuck’s column. Along with everyone else, though, I’ve been steeped in the alarming realities of COVID-19. It was past time to lighten up for a bit and speak briefly of a cat, in this case, the Sigars’ family cat Lorenzo. Chuck’s first paragraph?
Remembering Mom, and Alzheimer's education | Home Again
Dorothy Thompson Bradbury, my mother, was a warm and devoted wife and mom – clever, dependable, thoughtful, smart, and sweet-natured. The daughter of Methodist parents, as a teenager she taught Sunday school and played piano and organ for church. As a wife and mother, she continued her love of music and church activity. She also enjoyed gardening, cooking, baking, decorating, and sewing. My mother was a traditional American housewife of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s. I think she knew she had options.
Treasuring the comfort of many books | Home Again
Late this morning, the temperature hovering in the mid-40s, I wrapped a furry blanket around my shoulders and carried coffee and a book out to the deck, where I settled in for an hour’s read before I tackled anything on my to-do list. It felt just right to coast happily through a chunk of the morning without glancing at the list I jotted before bedtime. Any day without specific appointments or obligations – there aren’t many of those days – feels like a tiny vacation.
Kid theater: A universal experience | Home Again
“Shrek Jr: The Musical” took a couple of chunks out of my Friday and Saturday last week, when Alki Elementary students performed the show at West Seattle High School. You’d probably guess that my grandchildren were involved. Of the three performances, I attended two and regretted missing the third and final one. If you’re a grandparent, you understand. Friday evening, I drove through relentless wind and rain, glad to have Uncle Warren with me to see the 7 p.m. opening night performance.
Change, and moving to a new apartment | Home Again
Two weeks ago, I wrote about Change, which I approached as the proper noun my mother made of it. She impressed upon me from childhood that not many things in life are certain. No matter what plans I might make or what expectations I might have, what I could most count on was one element, firmly pronounced by my mother: “Change.” Through the years, I’ve come to appreciate that particular life lesson, which is not the same thing as being comfortable with it.
Change, and walking each other home | Home Again
My mother was fond of saying, “There’s nothing as certain as change.” Probably some famous person first said that. As far as I’m concerned, it was original with my mother. From her clear voice, I sensed that “change” was a proper noun, a sort of presence, keeping an eye on my schedules, my plans, my assumptions, waiting to act. Not a negative presence, only a reminder that whatever plans I had for the moment or day or week – or life – might well turn out differently than I had in mind.
Christmas gifts, music, and memories | Home Again
December fills my heart with memories of long-ago Christmases during my childhood in Edmonds. Helping carry boxes of decorations down from the attic. Cutting and pasting red paper chains for the big tree in the corner of the living room. Watching my dad put strands of tinsel on the tree. Curling up in a chair nearby to read with my cat Butch sleeping on my lap, under my book. Wrapping presents on the mahogany dining room table.
Finding grandmother's treasures | Home Again
I own a few of my beloved grandmother’s treasures from her childhood and early adulthood. A tiny blue purse, trimmed with clear glass beads. A formal photograph of her at age 8, unsmiling, wearing her Sunday best. A milk glass cup inscribed “Mt. Vernon, Illinois”– her 1885 birthplace. A few family pictures showing my grandmother and grandfather, my mother and her two younger brothers at various ages, sometimes photographed with whatever the family automobile was at the time.
Scoring Sounders tickets was worth it | Home Again
I’m writing this a few hours after the joyful conclusion of the Seattle Sounders championship soccer game at Century Link Field – a game in which the Sounders triumphed over Toronto FC. No matter that Toronto controlled the first half – the Sounders won, 3-1. I watched the game on TV, while more than 69,000 fans watched the sell-out game in person, the largest crowd in Century Link history. During the frenzy of ticket sales in the days leading up to the game, I looked online to check prices.
With good cookbooks, old is new again | Home Again
My favorite cookbook, without a doubt, is the oldest one in my collection. It’s my maternal grandmother’s “revised and enlarged” copy of "The Household Searchlight Recipe Book," 12th printing, 1939, 100,000 copies, published by Household Magazine, Topeka, Kansas! When I was a young girl, I enjoyed getting to know that cookbook, in its leathery black and orange binding. My mother gave the book to me after my beloved grandmother died.
A success: Oktoberfest beer runs out | Home Again
The recent Edmonds Rotary Club Oktoberfest proved to be a good choice for a first-time Edmonds community event and fundraiser to further Rotary support of local projects. The range of activities provided at the Sept.

Guest Op-Ed: Investing in the Transportation Workforce of Tomorrow
On a sun-drenched day this past June, officials from LA Metro and the County of Los Angeles gathered at a long-vacant lot in South Los Angeles to announce the kick-off of our future Transportation School. The school’s purpose is to inspire and educate the teens who may one day work and fill positions throughout the mobility industry. Skeptics may wonder why a transit agency is getting into the boarding school business. A few simple statistics explain why.
