HEAT WAS ON!--The forecasters were right when they said it was going to be a warm one this past weekend, as it was plenty hot out here in West Valley! The cloud cover and cooler temps on Monday made for a much more comfortable and welcomed relief from the heat. SLIGHT CORRECTION--If you read my column last week, you would see where the WCHS Museum in Cathlamet is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m., but unfortunately, the "header" on my column said it was open on Friday and Saturday, which is not correct. Sorry for any confusion!...
A Go Fund Me Account has been established by the Friends of Skamokawa for the River Life Interpretive Center at Central School/Redmen Hall in Skamokawa.

After a month with the number of sea lions hanging out at Bonneville Dam to snack on salmon, steelhead and other available fish exceeding the 10-year average, the number fell to just one, according to a June 7 report.

The bulk of the California sea lions left by May 30, but one remains, the report says. During the period there were an average of 37.5 sea lions in the dam's tailrace per day. Most were Stel...
The heat didn't keep 72 people from all over the northwest from competing at the Raven's Run disc golf tournament at the Inn at Lucky Mud in Skamokawa last weekend.

"This is quite a subculture," said one disc golfer from Castle Rock. He admitted that he played the game as much as he could in his spare time. More tournaments are planned. Photos by...
NOT QUITE SO GOOD--The really warm, super nice, really good weekend that was supposed to have taken place over Father's Day weekend, didn't quite turn out the way they first predicted it would, at least not here. Go figure! However, after some rain on Saturday, and after some more clouds and drizzle on Sunday morning, we did have the sun come out in the afternoon and things got warm and steamy/muggy, which is what we get after the sun hits all the wetness around here. Supposedly this week is going to be dry and down right hot by the end of the...
Made a quick trip to California over the weekend to get my granddaughters home for Father’s Day. We left here at 4 a.m. on Friday morning and it was raining, arriving in Stockton at about 4:30 p.m. to excruciating heat. More heat the next day, and I left at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning to escape the 110 degrees slated for that day. Made it home in less than 11 hours to our beautiful weather. News from Naselle: Looking for a fun family event? The annual Friends of the Naselle Library community picnic will be held this year on Tuesday at the l...
