[Editor's note: This column has been corrected: The initial version of this article incorrectly stated that the Naselle Lutheran Church had closed; the Naselle Congregational Church has in fact disbanded its congregation and passed its property to the Finnish American Folk Festival organization. We apologize for the error.] Rosburg News For those who have attended or are planning to attend the Naselle/Grays River Valley senior luncheon on Wednesday, I would like to clarify a few things. First of all, those who are 55 and older can join, not 60...
NICE BEGINNING--This week began with some cool temperatures and lots of fog in West Valley, but the sun that followed was certainly enjoyed! We had the same thing at the end of last week, as Saturday was dry and decent too, so having a whole weekend dry was a big plus. However, I understand that by mid-week we will probably get wet again, so while we get lulled into almost Spring-like weather, we have to remember it is still winter, so we can't get too complacent! GREAT FEED--That nice dry evening we had this past Saturday worked out just...

Funny points to ponder, the beach, and a penny for your thoughts I only have one timetable and that is to meet my deadline for the Wahkiakum County Eagle, other than that I have no sense of time. I’ll give you an example and I have witnesses. On Wednesday I went to the Valley Bible Church for their potluck in association with the Naselle/Grays River Valley Seniors. I arrived a little before noon when they serve lunch. I usually see more cars by this time and many familiar ones, but today there were only about a dozen cars. As I entered the c...

Superintendents at Wahkiakum School District and Naselle/Grays River Valley School District were asked to respond to how the Washington State legislature’s new system to fund schools and cap local levies at $1.50 per $1,000 will affect their budgets. Wahkiakum School District: “There is an equity issue in the way the state implemented the McCleary decision,” WSD Superintendent Brent Freeman said this week. “Wahkiakum School District is one of many small school districts that are negativ...

It might be said “Who are you to tell us about trees?" I may know more or less about trees than most, however, from my observations, clear cutting of our forests leaves an ugly scar on the landscape that will clear up in time. I just do not like the way it looks and the impact it has on the environment. I highly sympathize with those who are employees of the logging/lumber industry and in no way want them to lose their jobs. Is there a better way to make wood products without destroying the beauty of our forests while being able to maintain t...

After receiving many wonderful comments regarding my last article while out and about preparing for this article, it came to my attention that some clarification is in order. First of all, I have done years of research on this topic and I am only giving you a synopsis. As a younger man I have had the opportunity to fall trees, work in several lumber mills, and as part of a large tree planting crew I planted Douglas firs in Southern Oregon. What I have written can be proven. One of the best...

Logging and rain As an inquisitive person, I have often wondered and I have been asked, what happens to all the water that is stored in the trees after they have been cut down, especially here in Wahkiakum County. The obvious is evaporation and then precipitation; then, after several years of hearing the local stories from loggers and others who have lived in the county for decades, I started digging deeper into the reasons why we have so much rain and flooding. Locals have suggested that many areas of the county have been logged as many as...
The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team lost two this week. On Thursday, the boys traveled to Toutle Lake and lost 65-56. "We came into the game knowing we needed to take care of Michael Adams and Logan Grabenhorst and make other guys beat us, which I thought overall we did a pretty good job," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "We held the two to 16 combined points. Brody Carlson had a great night and gave us a chance but they made some clutch shots to keep us just out of reach." Carlson led the Mules...

While traveling over the KM Mountain one day in a fog, I suddenly came into a clear area where I could see the valley below covered in fog as the sun filtered through as if the forest below was covered with various colors of cotton candy. The whiteness of some of the fog reminded me of soap suds foaming over the landscape. Because of the soapy look of the fog, for whatever reason, I thought of my now deceased mother. As a child I remember watching her fill a wash tub with soapy water and get on her hands and knees to scrub the clothes on a...
