Maury Mooers called last week from Skamokawa. It was wonderful hearing his stories and his memories of the Maki family who lived there. Mrs. Maki from Fairview Road also called to say she doesn't believe they are relatives of the old Herman Maki family. What an honor to talk to them about their lives and history. Soon I hope to talk with the Naselle/GRV Valedictorian and Salutatorian as I did last year about their futures. Meeting the seniors and hearing their dreams and plans gives me energy....
On April 18, the Naselle/GRV School Board met at the Grays River Fire Hall with good attendance and students representing several school programs. One board member, Tyson Vogeler, attended by Zoom reporting he could hear everything well. The beginning of the agenda was focused on personnel with the following items receiving the board’s approval: 1) to hire Blake Updike as JV coach; 2) laying off Michael Johnson, digital technology assistant as of June 30; and 3) laying off Marie Green as covid tester. Both layoffs are a result of eliminating t...

Submitted by Ron Wright Last Saturday your Mecha Mules Robotics Club (and friends) hosted a carwash fundraiser at The Bank of the Pacific in Cathlamet. We had three goals: to make a good start on raising enough money to pay for our trip back to the Seaperch Internationals in Maryland this May, to begin preparing for next season, and to give back to our community. We achieved all three, plus one more that was obvious to the folks watching the kids and coaches work on their cars. As one commenter...

I've had questions from folks about miscellaneous things, so with the help of both Irene Martin's book, "Beach of Heaven," and Ruth Busse Allingham's book on Naselle, "Glimpses of the Past," here are some answers. Early settler, Andrew Rosburg, was the first postmaster of the original Rosburg post office established in 1893. Rosburg school at Johnson Park was opened in 1938. Rosburg bridge was built in 1948. Rosburg Hall was built in 1957. New Methodist Church built in Grays River in 1962. Crown...
Last Friday four teams from our area went to Tacoma to compete in robotics engineering events at the State SkillsUSA Championships.

The six students on the four teams from Naselle and Wahkiakum put in a lot of time on their robots, during school and after school. And it showed: All of our teams brought back medals. In Robotics Automation...

In last week's story about the SeaPerch qualifier at the Cathlamet pool, the second place Naselle team was incorrectly identified as the Bobbleheads. They are the Bubbleheads. In last week’s Eagle a story about the Northwest Voices event to occur on April 24 in Longview, listed the time of the reading at the Longview Public Library as 5:30 p.m. That time has been changed to 7 p.m. It was erroneously reported in last week's paper that a large abandoned boat sinking at the Elochoman Slough Marina was removed thanks to teamwork by salvagers and m...
SOGGY HOLIDAY--As the atmospheric river made its way to the area on Sunday, we definitely saw a super soggy Easter, so it’s a good thing most Easter Egg Hunts were done on Saturday around here so as not to be totally drenched; whew! According to the forecast, it looks to be a wet start to the week but we’re due for some dry days by mid-week and even a dry weekend. I won’t hold my breath as that keeps changing but I sure hope it’s true. I’m also hoping the “slight chance of flooding” is non-existent but just in case, we’re all set here at our...

My friends, it was bound to happen. I got Lois Burkhalter's dates mixed up, so I'll try again. She was born in 1940, not married in 1940. Yes, I'm embarrassed, but there's more. They came to Naselle in 1964, not 1966, and she had their four children in the years 1960-1970, not 1950-1960. May I simply say it was an "Off Day" when I wrote that? Lois, I am very sorry. I really should have caught at least one of those. I sincerely hope all the information this week is correct, lots of dates and...

Jackson Blalock with "Sea Change" came to visit me to ask about my thoughts on the Grays River, what I know about the river's history and my thoughts on what can be done to help the river. As we visited, I realized he's coming at his thinking in a good way because he wants to learn what "we the people" think and want before he starts making any plans. He has read past reports and studies and he understands a great deal of the information others have offered. He made me quite happy when he...
