NICE START--As this week begins, it's pretty doggone nice out there, and instead of fall, it seems like summer has returned. Of course, by the time you read this, we may be back to a cooling trend, so we'll be more normal for this time of year. Whenever we are still mowing our lawns every week in October, you know it's still pretty decent out there! The only thing I didn't enjoy about this wonderful weather was the bombardment of lady bugs and other insects, which just seemed to be everywhere! However, several forecasters are talking about the...

One SR 4 culvert project was completed on Tuesday near Naselle, and, if all goes well, the remaining project to replace two culverts on the highway near of Cathlamet will finish in mid-October, just a couple weeks later than its expected finish date.

They say we're in for cooler weather rolling in Sunday evening and more on Monday, well, we may be a little wet by the time you read this.

The energy was contagious at the first annual Warriors, Widows and Heroes event last Thursday at the Elochoman Slough Marina.

Mason runs a program called Fish'n Trips for Heroes, providing an opportunity for Wounded Warriors to experience fishing. Normally, Mason takes out one or two at a time. Mickelsen wanted to try it...
