NOT TOO NICE--Last weekend was definitely a cold, wet and blustery one, which brought down a lot of the leaves that had been making the hillsides so pretty. It was a complete turn around from the gorgeous day we had last Thursday. It is the middle of November already, so this windy, bone chilling, soggy nastiness should be expected as part of our normal Fall weather I guess, but it doesn't mean I have to like it! And to top it off is the snow they say may come down to the 1,000 foot level, which almost always includes us. Just as a reminder,...

The Donkey Ball game scheduled for this Saturday is being played to offset the cost of coaches’ stipends for the school district.

To The Eagle: Working on the new logging book recently published by the Appelo Archives Center gave me a deeper appreciation for our local timber industry and what it's meant to the area for over a century. Since I was not raised here, I had to learn and like others who may not know about our local history, it's been a joy to learn. Many look to the Gold Rush in the Yukon for great history, but I challenge folks to look at the Timber Rush in Deep River and imagine the worth of those huge trees if valued with today's money. We determined that...
