The Wahkiakum Mules softball team dropped four more games this week, but the young team continues to show improvement all around. Last Wednesday, they lost a non-league game to Naselle 17-0. "The score does not show the great strides of improvement this group is making," Coach Stephanie Green said. "Pitching is coming along really well with Sydney Akinsuli and Jordyn Watson. We made a few errors that made the gap widen but the steps to making plays and improvement are noticeable." In Winlock on...

To The Eagle: There were a few errors in the April 18 article "News from the new Naselle Community Center." The wind ensemble is associated with the North Coast Symphonic Band, not an orchestra; and while there are two orchestras in the Astoria area (the North Oregon Coast Symphony and the Columbia River Symphony), there is no "Astoria Philharmonic." Finally, while you could not have known at the time of publication because we had not yet selected a name, the name of our quintet is the Columbia Wind Quintet. Thank you for your promotion of the...

Grange installs new sign for Meserve Park William Nelson Meserve 1867-1953 and his wife Harriet Alta Meserve 1878-1951 operated the Meserve Store at approximately the same location as the park lies today in Grays River. William was not always a mercantile man as most might think. As early as 1889 he along with his friend Simon Benson fell logs for a living when their only tool was an ax. The Grays River Grange #124 added the new sign for Meserve Park made from salvaged redwood donated by Erik...

Loggers are Awesome The 9th Annual Loggers' Reunion at the Appelo Archives Center last Saturday in Naselle was a wonderful experience not only for the memories that were shared, but also for the little glimpse into the past brought to us by 95-year-old Ed Wirkkala and 90-year-old Bob Zeismer. These men were part of a time when men went through the school of hard knocks to learn their craft to become teachers themselves to others to continue the dangerous tradition of being a logger. They were...

Reader Recipe Request: Chicken Enchiladas To some chicken enchiladas are a dime a dozen and I would have to agree. I have tried chicken enchiladas from every Mexican restaurant within a 50 mile radius and I would come to the same conclusion: I’ll make my own. The following recipe is derived from an idea that was given to my wife in 1975 from a Mexican girl in the desert in southern California. The problem with most chicken enchilada recipes is that the chicken is first boiled and then immediately shredded. This leaves the chicken dry and b...

Some Things Change and Some Things Remain the Same Every generation is uniquely different than the previous one yet some things are still passed on. The newspaper is and has been traditionally the source for news and information. We have increased our ability to communicate on a global scale unprecedented in history. The internet as well as cell phones have closed the gap in the communication field; however, sometimes even with all this technology, information is not passed on as far as one might think. With all this technology there sometimes...

By Diana Zimmerman Fire season started a little early and a little too close to home this year. Last Tuesday, March 19, local firefighters and personnel from the Department of Natural Resources responded to three fires in Wahkiakum County, which all began that afternoon. The Elochoman Complex fire and the Deep River fire are out, Wahkiakum County Undersheriff Gary Howell said on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Wildwood Lane fire, which started as a controlled burn, got out of control and grew to 77 acres at its largest, is listed as 100 percent...

Reader’s Request I am grateful and I give thanks to you the readers who have approached me with your favorable comments and suggestions. While at the Rosburg Store recently I was asked by a Wahkiakum County Eagle reader if I would post some local recipes. I gave it much thought and decided to give you one of my own in a unique way in which I am sure you will want to try it for yourselves. It is as common as coffee in these parts just as jambalaya is common in Louisiana with no two recipes being the same. I am referring to the common clam c...
