Following last week’s drenching storm, the Grays River flowed in two channels across what was once the hay field at Gorley Springs. Located at the head of the lowland portion of the Grays River Valley, the Gorley farm is at the point where the river spills out of its steep gorge. The river spreads across the wider valley, loses momentum, and deposits the heavier objects carried in its currents. The Gorley family and allies such as the former Upper Grays River Flood Control District, worked to keep the main channel to the north side of the farm,...

Lisa Frink was a tremendous help organizing the Kiwanis club as w...

Wow! Did you ever see so many old cars? It seems like they were never ending, driving down the highway for days. My husband and I decided on a bike ride last Saturday to check it out. The 25th Annual Rod Run was super. Something for everyone. There must have been more than a thousand cars on display, music from the 50’s and 60’s, Wolfman Jack, an appearance from Elvis, poodle skirts, good food and lots of car talk between the car owners and spectators. Great fun. News from Naselle: Sports events this coming week include: high school foo...

Wahkiakum and Naselle high school football teams will resume KM Trophy competition this Friday, 7 p.m., in Cathlamet. The two teams haven't met since 2005. "The Comets have some big linemen and good skill players, so it should be a battle," Mule Coach Eric Hansen predicted Tuesday. As for the Mules, Hansen describes a team of extremes: The Mules have good leadership and good returning players, but they're very young and lack depth at most positions. "We have 34 players turning out, four seniors, 9 juniors, 12 sophomores and 9 freshmen," he...
