NOT BAD--If it weren't for the heavy fog in the early morning hours and some of the evening hours, the days have been pretty decent lately. We had a dash of rain in the night on Saturday, so things were pretty damp Sunday morning, but with the sun coming out and brightening up the orange and yellow foilage, it looked like a pretty nice fall day. More scattered showers are expected this week after a freezing Monday evening and Tuesday morning, but hopefully they won't turn into downpours and things will be fairly dry this evening, as this is...

A Catworks company excavator hoists a concrete block that will shore up a sliding slope along Loop Road. Wahkiakum County Public Works Director Pete Ringen said Wednesday that the retaining wall is nearly complete. Catworks proposed an alternate design for the wall, and the project was delayed while that was evaluated and finally accepted at a savings to the county, Ringen said. Next steps are guardrail installation and paving repairs to restore the road to two lanes of trave...

I initiated the system Sunday evening with great success. If you did not receive this call you may need to register your number. All hard wired landline telephone numbers are automatically added to the...

Well, the evenings and mornings are saying it is fall, but the daytime hours are more like summer. I’m not sure if I like it or not. The leaves are falling almost before they change color.

Each week in October I am discussing a different aspect of being prepared. This week I am going to discuss the third component “Build a Kit”. A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency. Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them. You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means...

NICE--As this week began, we've had some really sunny days, which were very enjoyable. However, we started Monday morning off with temperatures below freezing and the heavy fog has made a nice layer of frost on the outside vehicles, so while the days are nice, the evenings are pretty nippy. The thick fog has hung around for several mornings and with very limited visibility, it's really essential to turn on ones' headlights so your vehicle can be more visible. CORRECTION--Unfortunately I put out some incorrect information last week regarding...
