While Josh Chadwick's GPA is the second highest in the senior class, there is only a tiny speck between the first and second GPA's. His downfall, he admits easily, was calculus. Josh has a very active mind that wants foremost to learn about things that interest him, like computers. When around six years old, he learned computer technology. Then he took lessons in coding and building games on-line. He has always loved computers, so for him to study computers and robotics in college is a perfect...

I woke up today to sun. May I simply say I feel joy again? And gratitude to the Lord of all. Photo of the Week: My friends, I have goofed with names again and can only apologize to those who feel unseen because of my memory lapses. A couple columns ago, I mistakenly called Jane Scharbach "June." I am so sorry, Jane. I had a call from one of Jane Scharbach's friends in Oregon who said she had watched for an apology from me last week for giving Jane Scharbach the wrong name. She thought surely...

June is just around the corner which means graduation, Memorial Day traffic, vacations, classic cars at the fairgrounds, July 4 holiday, fireworks, and the Finnish American Folk Festival on the last weekend in July. Summer goes by too quickly. Then kids are off to college and we're exhausted trying to keep up with life. Oh wait, it's dry by end of summer so I just water plants at that point. And then it's fall. But as a cancer survivor, I will not fret or complain. I will be grateful for every...

Photo of the Week: Jack and June Scharback of Sisson Creek on Oneida Road. Life is taking on momentum now that we're heading toward June. Everything in my yard is "Coming up Roses" from "Gypsy" the musical, except my roses. I think the tips have frozen one too many times. But to say I had a great day today gives few hints of today's happy adventure driving out to "the end of the road" called Oneida. I sat for two hours with Jack and June Scharbach whose house is reached by walking across a...
Naselle's Jason Harman watches his base hit sail into left centerfield which proves to be the game winner.

The 10-0 victory over the Vikings gives Naselle an opportunity to play in the state regionals which will be held this week in Ridgefield. Photo by Robert Hilson....

When he came home, he took over the telephone company and built it up for many years. His nephew, Steve Appelo, is now Board President there. Carlton grew up in Deep River along with his...

Comet eighth-grader Sadie Kilponen gets full extension with her swing and hits a line-drive off the end of the bat knocking in two runs and putting Naselle up 11-3 in early game action. The Bulldogs would make a valiant comeback and eventually tie the game in the seventh inning. But Kilponen came up big once again, and in the bottom of the seventh inning she drove a fast ball through the infield and her walk-off base hit won the game for the Comets 15-14 in Naselle on Tuesday evening.
