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,...

What a ballot we have for the general election! So much of it advisory votes--non-binding votes by citizens to advise the legislature on tax increases passed during this year's legislative session. So, dig out a Voters Pamphlet or go on line and do your homework. We have a few pamphlets at our office on Main Street; more are available in the county auditor's office in the courthouse, probably at libraries, and of course, online at https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/voters-guide/2019-voters-pamphlet.aspx. Check out Initiative 976, another effort...

Appelo Archives Harvest Auction Karl Arthur Appelö (he changed his name to Carl) was born on February 17, 1890 in the parish of Sideby on the western coast of Finland into a Swedish-Finn family. Although the farm was located on a small island before the coastal land rose to its current level to the coast of Sweden, the word "Appelö" means "Apple Island" in Swedish. A mixture of circumstances in Finland a century ago forced many of its people to leave their native land. This happened to Carl A...

Invasive Species My late father was an outdoorsman typical of many who live in the Pacific Northwest. He loved to hunt and fish or just go hiking in the woods. As a child he made me very aware of the plants around us and their various uses. He would tell me what could be eaten and what certain plants such as poison oak would do to you if you used it as a toiletry item. Such knowledge stayed with me through my brief military career which further enhanced my curiosity about plants. I never became...
