On June 21, five members of the Cathlamet Woman's Club donned orange vests and picked up litter along SR 4 west of Milepost 35. A passing motorist was so impressed that he stopped and handed one of them a folded green-back, which--upon close inspection, turned out to be a one hundred-dollar bill! Whoever said virtue is its own reward might have been a little off. Not only is the highway a little cleaner, but club coffers a mite more full! Pictured photo are, l-r, Carol Cole, Maureen Zacher-Bochius, Hannah Booth, and Louise Courtwright. Photo...

NOT SO GREAT--As this work week begins, it's a little bit wet out there, and at times, it really pours. At least there were a few breaks in the weather, but they were pretty short lived.

Another thing that is not so great, is the fact that the internet was down all over the place. It's amazing how dependent we get on our computers for gathering information and sending communications, so when it's out, it's a huge mess....
