Rain and wind: I worked hard last week to prune, weed eat and clean up debris in my yard. The apples that fall from the tree at the top of the hill behind my house continue to increase as they fall down the hill. There are night creatures that come and enjoy them, I'm sure. Ben, my dog, used to bark at them, but over time he's given up. Each morning I sing the Johnny Appleseed song. Remember him? "Oh, the Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord for giving me the things I need, the sun and...

Good morning. The air this morning has the scent of fall. September is always a good month. We're now transitioning into fall with school started and the Rod Run over. Now we can look to Halloween, hunting season, Thanksgiving, then Christmas. It all goes by so quickly. Let's take time to be with others, even by phone, or whatever ways we can. I love you, Aunt Hattie in Arizona, who loves the Sheriff's Report. Thanks for calling me! Appelo Archives Deli has a new menu with many more lunch...

September 11 is National Emergency Responders Day. This week it seems appropriate to honor our own emergency responders as we get close to the 20th Anniversary of September 11, 2001. I remember that day very well and I know many of you do as well. I was working in my office at Fuller Seminary and heard on the radio. I drove to Fred Meyer in Ballard and bought a tiny TV so we could see for ourselves because it was so unbelievable to imagine. We were all stunned and quiet because it was difficult...

Dear Readers: Good morning. Have you poured a cup of coffee to read the paper? I can't start my day without it. We sure had a busy, fun weekend. Great to have the fair open again. The Loggers Reunion went well. But I feel fall coming in the mornings making it chilly for me to drink my coffee on the back porch. Ben, my dog, likes it when I start the day out there with him. And I like being out there. Cold mornings mean I can't hear the morning radio on KMUN through the open door. Bummer....

Dear Readers: Last week's obituaries made me pause and reflect. Chuck Parker, Liz Goodfellow Sears, and Ken Kandoll. All meant so much to the area and all ended good, meaningful lives after doing so much for others. If you're looking for something to help you pause and reflect, may I suggest you get a copy of this poetry book, Skyfixer, or borrow it from the Appelo Archives Library? If you have not been to the second-floor library, how about spending an afternoon there? You'll find book...

SR 4 is a pain. We all agree on that. I know using SR 4 for jobs and appointments is a pain. Trying to keep to a schedule can be brutal, but the DOT has to work on highways within a certain summer time frame. I guess the issue is understanding we're all in the same boat. I take the ferry, drive HWY 30 to the Longview bridge and "cross over the bridge," as the old song says. Let's all be as patient as we can! Photo of the Week: For those new to the area, logging trucks may sometimes be annoying,...

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6 Kenneth James Kandoll passed peacefully on July 19, 2021, at the home of his son, Cameron, and daughter-in-law, Catherine, after a five year diagnosis of progressive neuromuscular palsy. With loving and attentive care from them both, he met the physical and emotional challenges of this debilitating disease with the fortitude of his Scottish, Norwegian, Finnish...

Good morning, readers! May the Saints of Rain bless us in the coming days. My yard is brown and my flowers are thirsty. Thanks to all the great gardeners in the area. As I drive around I appreciate the beautiful yards and gardens. Wolverines: Reports from several sources support the increased sightings of wolverines in the area. These small wild animals are usually up high in the Cascade range, but recently one was seen on the peninsula beach. Two of them have been seen in upper Salmon Creek...
