A recent donation to St. James Family Center (SJFC) made quite a stir at the end of August. Beaverton-based Pacific Office Automation (POA) gave $1000 and eight NASCAR tickets as a contribution to St James' "40 for 40" campaign, which celebrates the 40 years SJFC has been a part of Wahkiakum County's landscape. The NASCAR tickets may seem a bit random; however, POA has a unique relationship with Portland International Raceway. POA is actually the title sponsor of the annual NASCAR Xfinity...

Well, as this week begins, I know that many of you aren't too keen about the dampness falling from the sky but there are a whole lot of folks who are relishing in the cool down and the "sprinklers" from the sky.

There are times, believe it or not, when I ask myself just what constitutes "the outdoors." I am, after all, supposedly an outdoor writer. Not an outdoor "rider," a pursuit of which I've been accused on more than one occasion. I do, from time to time, ride through the outdoors. For the past 33 years, I've made my living, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, writing about the outdoors. To some, I was a 'hook and bullet' guy; a scribe of the consumptive order. A fisherman. A hunter. The hook and the...
One of the things I enjoy most about writing my column each week is getting to know incredible people. This past week, I sat down with a few members of the Zimmerman family to learn about their journey to the farmer's market. Bekalyn, the mom, shared, "We read in The Eagle that there was going to be a farmers market the following Friday, and vendors were invited to participate. It was the perfect fit for us. It's low-key; you can move around as much or as little as you want. You can bring what...

In case you haven't rolled through yet, there's a bright little coffee stand tucked in the Chevron parking lot in Cathlamet, and it's serving up a lot more than just espresso. Little Woo's Brews is a double-sided drive-thru run by longtime local barista Courtney Carlson - better known to most as "Little Woo." If the name sounds personal, that's because it is.

PLENTY HOT. If you made it to the fair last week, you will have to agree with me that it was a tad warm, as we had temperatures up to 100 degrees at my house and the fairgrounds, too. We were definitely feeling the heat while we were there. We hate to complain, though, as sometimes it’s been pouring down rain and that’s not so great either. I was happy to see some big fans get brought in as the poor animals that are usually enjoying some wide-open spaces were confined to tighter quarters than they are used to, so I’m sure they were happy to ge...
