WONDERFUL WEEKEND--We certainly had a gorgeous weekend with lots of sunshine and warmth, which was perfect to bring in another new month, so I hope you had a wonderful May Day on Sunday. Hopefully you got a nice flower surprise in there as well! As I begin this, it's a great day as the work week begins, but some showers are in the forecast for mid-week. The weekend looks to be nice again, so it'll be another great opportunity to either travel and enjoy the beach areas, or if you're like me, finish up some yardwork, which is really impossible as...

GREAT START--As this week began last Sunday, it was super nice, as were the couple of days prior to that. It was definitely great weather for heading to the beach and having fun in the sun, but I found doing yard work was just a bit much for me, as once it gets up there in those 80 degree marks, I'm hiding in the basement! The first couple of days this week were super toasty and in many places, records for those days were broken, and we were even warmer than Portland on Sunday evening. While we basked in the sunshine, other places like...

SUPER NICE--Last Thursday was certainly a toasty one as temperatures here hit the mid-80's which is pretty rare for us this time of year! While I'm sure the sun and heat lovers liked it, it was a bit too warm for me to be outside for very long, but if you were one of those who loved it, I hope you wore sun screen! By the time the weekend was over, it was back to some clouds and a brief amount of mist in certain places, so it was more my kind of weather. I know it was much better to do yardwork in, as it was much cooler and the sun wasn't...

Movers carrying large boxes into the empty storefront from a large moving van parked downtown was the first sign for many that something was happening at the Hotel Cathlamet.

When Kay and Wayne Cochran, along with their daughter Stephanie and her husband Kevin Prestegard purchased the hotel in 2012, they were excited and hopeful. They had plans to restore the hotel and bring a much needed business back to town. Fortunately, they...

A reverse mortgage might not be the perfect solution for everybody, but it may provide a wealth of relief for some retirees, according to Penny Paulsen, manager at Bank of the Pacific. Today, many senior citizens (age 62 and over) are faced with financial challenges. Some may have seen their investments sit idle or even shrink during the economic downturn, while others may find it difficult to support their retirement as they wrestle with other expenses. For homeowners 62 years old and older, a Reverse Mortgage may be an option. But, what...
There's a lot of work to do. Wahkiakum County officials and members of the Johnson Park Board of Directors toured the Grays River Valley Center in Rosburg on Tuesday to see the condition and needs of the facility and to get a start on rebuilding the center's board of directors, which now has only three members.
