  • Chinese New Year event great success

    Trudy Fredrickson|Feb 25, 2016

    Spring is definitely in the air. The daffodils are in massive bloom, trees are beginning to bud out, eagles are practically running into each other as they fly over the Grays River or land in the trees fishing for the smelt, and so, too, the sea gulls near Burkhalter’s fields in Rosburg. Baby calves are bouncing around in the pastures all along the highway. New life everywhere. I love Spring.

  • Nine steps program addresses disasters

    Trudy Fredrickson|Jan 28, 2016

    I’m writing this column with a heavy heart as we lost a precious furry member of our family on Monday evening. Grym would have been 16 years old on the 27th, and our neighbors, Al and Nancy George lost Grym’s brother, Butch earlier this month. It’s amazing how much joy these pets bring to our lives and when they pass it’s as if it were a human member of your family. He gave us many years of pleasure and fun times, as well as two more generations of furry family. He will be missed. Well, the good news is:The frogs are singing every night a...

  • Schools collect 1,075 lbs. of food

    Trudy Fredrickson|Dec 31, 2015

    My apologies to the readers for not entering a column last week. My husband spent five days in the hospital for what we had originally thought was pneumonia and it turned out to be more complicated than that.

A word of advice to those of you with health issues: Keep a journal of everyday actions and always take it with you to a doctor visit. It makes answering questions much more simple and accurate. Sometimes the simplest entries can indicate a...

  • Floods, slides leave impact on Westend

    Trudy Fredrickson|Dec 17, 2015
