GRAY BEGINNING--It's a gray and drippy Monday morning to start the week and it looks like we will be fairly cloudy with a couple more drizzly days in the week ahead. However, if the forecast proves true, we will see temps in the 70's on Thursday, only to return to rain on Friday and Sunday. If it does turn sunny and nice, be sure to get out there and take advantage of it as it may not last too long. There is always the hope that the forecast changes, as there's nothing more fickle than the weather around our area! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebratin...
Greetings from the fair office! Thank you to Joe Blalock, Kay Walters, Diane Dyer and Pete Cooper for starting on the walkway from the office to the T-Building.

We will have a new handicap ramp to go along with the walkway making for easier access to the fair office. Thank you all for your time. This will be a great improvement for the fairgrounds. Remember to mark your calend...

Fun report about my Aunt Hattie in Phoenix. She's in her 90's and still lives alone in her own house. She was happy to hear I'm writing this column, so I gave her a subscription. She called to tell me her first Eagle had arrived. When I asked her if she read my column, she said, "Oh yes." Then she reported that she "really likes the Sheriff's Report." For someone who lives in a huge city, imagine how the Sheriff's Report must impress you. I love her dearly and remember her house in Anderson, Ind...
Colton Bachman moved from Astoria to Wahkiakum County when he was six or seven, and so he has shared the classroom with some of the same people for most of his life. "It's nice," Colton said.

During high school, he preferred to spend his time in the Vocational/Agriculture classroom with Kyle Hurley. "I like Mr. Hurley," Colton said. "I like his classes and he's pretty funny." Colton really likes...

For some strange reason, it was the baseball coach's wife who decided years ago that Tristan Collupy should play the position of catcher. He's been happily hunkered down at home plate ever since. "I love it," Tristan said. "I get to see everything. I've been playing baseball since I started walking. I was pretty much born into it. My dad has always been a sports fan and played baseball. I've carried it on." Tristan also plays football, and turned out for basketball for two years. The baseball co...
GORGEOUS--I hope all this sunny weather hasn't worn you out, as I know people were really out and about this past week, as the sunshine brought everybody out to soak up some Vitamin D, which we all needed! It was great to have such a nice stretch of dry weather for a change. However, I understand that our rains may return this weekend, so I hope you got your outside projects done before they returned. FIRE DANGER--The biggest down-side of having all this dry weather was that officials had to order a burn ban, as things were bone dry and we've...

Monday, always a day of promise. What's coming and who's coming and what should I do? For many of us, it seems to be about change, like retirement or moving or building a new house. Saturday I met a movie stunt man who recently moved here from Malibu, Calif. Life here is a new world for him, I'm sure. Change and promise. Our little corner of the world surely is changing. Appelo Archives in Naselle: "Our collection of Scandinavian artifacts on display in the museum has grown exponentially thanks...
