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...
by Suzanne Holmes, President On October 22, 2016, the Pioneer Community Association sponsored our first annual community-wide cleanup event in support of National Make A Difference Day. Every year, since 1992, millions of people across the United States volunteer and perform projects on the fourth Saturday in October for their community, for individuals in need and for charitable organizations. We launched “Tidy Up the Town” (TUTT) believing that we could make a significant improvement in the appearance of downtown Cathlamet with a handful of v...
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...

The Cathlamet Woman's Club will host its annual pie social on Friday, May 7, from 1-4 p.m., at the Tsuga Gallery, 70 Main Street in Cathlamet. This long-standing event will have a few changes, but will honor the spirit of the past.

NICE BEGINNING--As this week begins, it's a sunny Sunday morning around here, but it also started out very nippy, as it was only 24 degrees when we got up, so, we are truly hoping the warmer weather scheduled for the rest of the week, comes true. Those who had already started planting their gardens, found themselves scrambling to cover up their seedlings so they wouldn't freeze as solid as my water buckets did! Here's to "fun in the sun" and a nice dry spell, which I'm sure we would all appreciate as we head into the second half of April. Just...

Tuesday at 8:15 in the morning: What a gorgeous, full blown, stunning and arguably the most beautiful spring morning yet this year. The almost breathtaking blue sky has no clouds. The air is clear from all the stars last night in a stupendously bright performance. It always strikes me as humbling that the stars are out for all of us or none of us. They don't care if we see them or not. They just are. They exist whether we pay attention or not. Stars out here at night have only a little...

NICE SURPRISE--I was so happy to see that our Easter weekend weather was not the drippy one that we had all feared, but instead we enjoyed some very wonderful sunshine and warmer temperatures, so that was awesome! Nothing cheers a person up like having sunshine to bask in during a time when family is coming for dinner and the little ones look forward to outdoor Easter egg hunts, so, this was a great weekend indeed! We woke up Monday morning to temperatures below freezing once again, so that 27 degrees made outdoor morning chores a bit nippy. I...
