On July 2, the library switched from one capable pair of hands to another. Five years ago, Connie Christopher came in like a whirlwind, working hard with volunteers to bring more order to a library that Noreen Holten had given so much love to, by utilizing her own unique strengths. Christopher wanted to build on the legacy that Holten left behind. Her philosophy is to always leave a place better than one finds it. Motivated by desire to provide excellent customer service, she moved the library i...
To The Eagle: Recently I am hearing that an “overwhelming majority” of people are offended by what they consider junk vehicles. This concerns me since it is an attempt to try to pass an ordinance which dictates what a person can and cannot do on their own property. A lot of what some people think is junk is, in fact, equipment used in farming, logging, fishing or some other form of business. Or it may just be someone’s collection of old vintage vehicles. If someone else’s toys or equipment offends you, put up a fence on your property so you...

It’s still summer, and most folks can’t believe it. This is the longest dry spell that I can remember since we came here 13 years ago. I hear some farmers may even get a third cutting of hay on some of their fields. Does anyone else enjoy the sounds and smells of this country life, with the scent of warm cut grass and the machinery working late into the evenings? It sure beats the sounds of traffic and the smells of city life. News from Naselle: If anyone has a child that they would like to enroll in the Naselle ECEAP program, please con...

ROUGH WEEK--As you may have noticed, I didn't have a column in last week’s paper. I was feeling lousy, and finally gave in and went to the doctor, who thought a trip to the ER right away would be a good idea. I had thought it was a stomach bug or something, so I was certainly not prepared to go to the hospital. If I'd known, I'd have had the house clean, my column written and all that good stuff done! But as luck would have it, I didn't have time to do anything at all and just wound up going in and having a very irritated gall bladder taken out...
