Commentary by Rick Nelson Is this the year of the Comets? I hope so. The team from Naselle/Grays River Valley High School remains undefeated as they head into the state Class 1B football playoffs, but they had their hardest test of the season last weekend, a 50-46 win over Quilcene. The Comets face Almira-Coulee-Hartline this Saturday, 1 p.m., at Tumwater High School, which has a synthetic surface. Speed will be a key factor. And the Class 2B playoffs are an all-Central League show. Game 1 Saturday at Centralia High School features two speedy,...

From Crooked Creek to Eden For the early pioneers coming into Wahkiakum County, the perspective of paradise was to be found in the land. This was to be their little piece of heaven. Around 1875, the only people living on Crooked Creek were Matt Lamby and his brother Joab with his family. Joab cleared the land at the mouth of Crooked Creek all the way to the landing. He was the first to do hand logging. The Foster family was the next early pioneers to move into Crooked Creek and made a trail to...

Commentary by Darrell Alexander Theron Frame is a 15 year old sophomore at Naselle High School who was given the opportunity to enter the contest with 21 other entries. His hope is to make the wider world better in some way after he graduates while still keeping in touch with his family. He entered the essay contest because he felt that doing so would honor those who have worked tirelessly to protect our and others’ freedoms. He says that we are fortunate to live in a country that had such strong moral values in mind when it was created, and o...

Wahkiakum County and Pacific County in the past were mainly connected by the waterways. It would not be until the late 1930s that Longview would be connected to the coast. River life would slowly disintegrate to the present state that the only craft going up these creeks and rivers are small boats, jet skis, canoes, kayaks, and homemade rafts. The waterways are no longer dredged for commercial service to the community. Trucks for the most part do all the necessary deliveries to the community as...
After three matches, the Naselle Comets found themselves heading home without hardware on the second day of the State 1B volleyball tournament. The team moved into the loser's bracket after losing to Pomeroy in three sets in the first round: 21-25, 11-25, and 25-27.

As I walked down the hallway at Naselle High School to their gymnasium last Friday, I was focused only on where to get the best pictures without disturbing their ceremony. As I was approaching the entrance to the gym, it suddenly hit me that it had been 50 years since I was drafted into the United States Army. As I took many pictures of the veterans and heard their stories, I was almost overcome with a multitude of diverse emotions. Like many veterans from the Vietnam War era, I never received...

A Historical Synopsis of Thanksgiving Everyone looks at Thanksgiving from a different perspective. To me it comes down to what are we really thankful for. For others it takes on a reverent religious meaning. Today Thanksgiving is our national holiday and occurs this year on Thursday, Nov. 28. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is recognized by most as the first Thanksgiving. For over two centuries, Thanksgiving was celebrated by individual...
By Diana Zimmerman I heard Bob Saari mutter something and turned to find him struggling a bit with a rope he was using while perched in a tree nearby. I had been momentarily distracted by the breathtaking view of the Columbia River flowing far beneath the cliff side property belonging to Richard and Lorielee Schoen in eastern Wahkiakum County where Saari was working. His quiet frustration alerted me to a potential problem, and I suddenly found myself assessing the descent. I felt my stomach...

Halloween in the Westend The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is the origin of Halloween nearly 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France. They celebrated their new year on November 1. This was the day that marked the end of summer and harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter. It was a time of year that was often associated with human death. The Celts believed that the night before the New Year, the border between the...

Volunteers in a Little Piece of Heaven It is really hard to put into writing or words to describe how living in this county with so many wonderful people has brought so many changes to this community as well as to my life. I include those that I have met from Pacific County as well. Although I came from a small community in the Pacific Northwest, I spent a good part of my life living in large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Tulsa. Every large city comes with its assets and liabilities,...
