Five years in the making, the district would develop a regional economic development strategy and find funding to help implement the strategies.

"We have a lot in common with their workforce," he said, especially the fishing industry, he said. Bill Flashing, executive...
Naselle Grays River Valley School Superintendent Lisa Nelson recently took some time to talk about the maintenance and operations levy that will be on the ballot coming out this week. "We rely on the levies because we are not adequately funded," Nelson said. "We've had some form of levy in place since 1965. Possibly earlier. Suffice it to say, we have a long history of having a levy in place and this is the lowest projected collection for the district since 2000." The last time a levy came...

To the Eagle: I was recently having dinner out with friends. Over the courses, the conversation ultimately became partisan. These folks, with a liberal political opinion, seemed obsessed with how President Donald Trump needs to be removed from office. The conversation never got around to policy issues such as the liability of our $20 trillion debt, the broken healthcare system, foreign relations or other aspects of what we should refer to as politics. Now, some Liberals seem enchanted with the idea of Oprah Winfrey as the next president! This i...

Home, Home, Home! There is nothing like Home! It was a wonderful 6,000 mile journey with one of my sisters, a week long cruise with two of my sons and their families to the western Gulf of Mexico, a few days with a cousin in Arizona that my sister had not seen in over 50 years, and a train ride to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. A once in a lifetime dream come true. That said, I missed everything about home and it is so good to be here again. By the way, I must tell the readers that there really is “Hell.” I have visited there, had my pas...
