It's Monday morning after a Sunday with 104 degrees as reported by Naselle folks. My back porch thermometer, in the shade, said we hit 100 in Grays River. During that heat on Sunday, around 3 p.m., there was a fire at the bottom of KM pass in Grays River. The property owner was working on putting more cedar posts in his corral. When his hammer hit metal, a spark immediately started the fire. Three Grays River Fire District trucks with firefighters came to help put out the fire, along with...

There's been a bit of rain on my .45 acre of property so it is now at least wet, if not soaked. Life is better for the roses. They love heat and need water so they are all doing well, but I simply have too many flowers and not enough energy to take care of them as I have for eighteen continuous summers. If you'd like to have any of my "movable" plants, let me know. In the Meserve files I borrowed from the Archive Center, I found an issue of the "Eagle" from June 3, 1948 with information on the P...

Finn Fest and School Projects Update The Finnish American Folk Festival scheduled for 2024 has been cancelled due to the likely unavailability of the school because of construction in the summer of 2024. As announced at the last School Board meeting, Lisa Nelson, Superintendent of the Naselle GRV School District, received a call in July confirming the $4.8 million grant for a major project in 2024. Since I just completed an interview with Lisa Nelson, Superintendent at the Naselle GRV Schools,...

It's almost August. How did that happen? It means the Fair, the Loggers Reunion and Labor Day weekend are all just around the bend. The older I get, the faster the days go by. There is a song that talks about now that we're older, how many more times will we see the cherry blossoms in bloom? We have time left and no real idea of how long that will be, but our time needs to be used so that we spend it with family, babies, young ones in pre-school, friends and elders, and yes, cherry trees. May...

Kaye Wiemer has left us. She died last week, such a loss for all of us. She was a kind person, perfect for a pastor's wife. My story about Kaye is that at the last Finn Fest, she watched me struggling to walk to my car as I left. I sometimes have a problem with balance and fatigue catches me when I've not been drinking enough water. She sent me the most beautiful card, hand written, full of sincere encouragement and love. It made such a lovely gesture and it's in my little pile of cards to treas...

Some days you wonder how the day is gonna' go, but you just get up and get going. This was one of those days. Last night felt strange. I could not sleep. The air was damp and heavy with a higher than usual temperature. Bendog was restless and barked a lot on the back porch. I tossed and turned and felt like, well you know what I mean. I am blessed that I can look from my bed right out the front windows and see what's going on outside. The strangeness of the night just continued when I looked out...

If you are looking for an opportunity to stretch and grow in a supportive environment, you might consider Let it Be Yoga with Linda Krohn, who is offering a class every Wednesday morning from 10-11 a.m. at the River Rat on Broadway. Krohn has been practicing yoga for 15 years and teaching for the last four. She got her start in the practice when a girlfriend talked her into joining a hot yoga class in Puyallup. "I thought I was going to die," Krohn remembered, laughing. She didn't, obviously....

Last week's photo of Noreen Fitts showed Noreen with her new granddaughter, but Bob Jungers questioned me on that, and he's right. She is Noreen's great granddaughter. A few days ago, I talked with a really tough guy. I need trees trimmed behind my house because they've grown so much that the trail going up the hill looks like a tunnel. I had an idea of who I should ask to do it because I asked others for names of those who could do it and they always gave me the same name. I had seen him...
If you thought Marie Gluesenkamp Perez didn't keep her promises, you'd be all wet. As the story goes, a member of the Wahkiakum School District's robotics team asked the Congresswoman for Washington's Third District if the team could push her in the pool if they won the qualifier for this year's International SeaPerch underwater robotics competition. The year before, they celebrated a win at the inaugural qualifier with a dunking of their coach, Ron Wright. She was heard to say yes, and in...
Two Naselle High School juniors traveled to Atlanta, Georgia last week to join thousands of students from across the United States in a national SkillsUSA competition.

State Senator Jeff Wilson wrote the following after I sent him a question on the Legislature's web site: "Please note the Naselle youth camp was funded for ongoing soft closure and I was able to include in this year's operating budget a task force to be populated by area locals including the Chinook tribe. I am proud of this because the camp now will have a local say in any future potential this facility has...you will be heard!" I thanked him for this information and hope he comes to visit us o...
On June 3 we had a Community Potluck and Live music, we had a good turn out. Johnson Park would like to thank everyone that donated prizes and for everyone that came and participated in our Community Potluck. Everyone made the event a success. We would do a few changes to the scheduling next time, but everyone had fun. Donny Wages, Ian Brandon, John, Paula Rush, Sean Roberts, Devin Roberts and Gene Quilhaugh all performed on stage. Layton Elliott and his lovely wife were a big hit. A special thank you to the American Legion for having an Ice...
