The one and only adult family home (AFH) in the county has been owned and operated by Puget Island resident Beth Lorenzo for nearly 17 years.

NICE EASTER--In spite of Easter falling in March this year, and our March weather not really known for being all that great, it just so happened that this year, the Easter weekend was absolutely gorgeous and in some places, sent new records for their temperatures clear into the 80's! I saw lots of pink skin as everyone was sporting shorts and sleeveless tops and soaking up those rays, while they mowed lawns, washed cars or went fishing on the river. It was truly an awesome few days! As of Monday evening however, I felt the light rain begin and...

SPRING?--As this week began and we had some sunshine to enjoy. It was a sharp contrast to last week when Spring officially began and we were looking at snowflakes falling; that was a shocker! I'm so glad it was brief and we got into some nicer weather, which we are thoroughly enjoying, especially since a lot of the mid-western states are still getting hammered with snow and ice and other winter-like conditions, so we are quite fortunate I'd say.

A 12-person jury found that a former Cathlamet man is a violent sexual predator who should be detained despite having completed sentences for his crime.

He completed his sentence in 2011, but the state argued that Kent hadn't changed and would likely offend again.
