NOT BAD--While we woke up to some very chilly temperatures last week, the sunshine that showed up on Saturday after some foggy conditions was quite nice, even though it wasn't super warm out there, as it only got up to 45 that day. By bedtime it was once again below freezing out our way so it looks like winter isn't too far away. We are supposed to have had a little more wetness by Tuesday night but then we're supposed to get dry again, so I can only hope that's true as there are a lot of acitivities coming up and it would be nice if it was...

OFF AND ON--The weather this past weekend was a bit of a mix, as we had some rain, some breezy times, some cloudy times and even some sunshine, so it just depended on where you were and at what time you were there, as to what kind of weather you were experiencing. Nothing like the Pacific Northwest Fall routine! I had heard we were in for an "atomospheric river" coming our way, but it didn't rain nearly as much as I thought it was going to. We were still over the inch mark several days but considering we've seen much worse, that was just...

Halloween in western Wahkiakum County is unique from the rest of the state as well as the country. At Johnson Park's haunted gathering, it was anything but scary. The adults were having as much fun as the children. Wes and Shonda Ware worked hard in the cafeteria kitchen preparing free hotdogs, chips, cookies, punch, and coffee while the children watched movies. The difference is that in the bigger cities there is a lot of vandalism and pranks, whereas in Rosburg there were only smiling faces. T...

A curator really shouldn't be on the board, Kandoll noted, but she is. She's needed. When she started in 2007, she was indexing articles from old newspapers. She became fascinated by the stories...
