HALF NICE--What a difference a day makes! Last Saturday was really nice after a very foggy beginning and it landed itself as the perfect day to mow that ever growing lawn and enjoy a wonderful evening around a firepit after a tasty barbecue with friends. However by Sunday morning, the area was already saturated with heavy rains and it was a day to stay in and admire the lawn you'd mowed the day before and watch some football. Of course, if you'd spent Saturday washing your car, you were not too happy and you were keeping it off the road and in...

Beginning their transition to “paperless” board meetings, the Naselle-Grays River Valley School Board Directors used their iPads for the first time to conduct the meeting on September 21. The board discussed implementing a policy to allow bilingual students to earn credit for knowing a second language instead of taking the few foreign language classes that Naselle offers. This would allow kids who understand and speak Spanish fluently (or any other language) to take a test and gain the credit for classes that would repeat material they alr...

To The Eagle: The Skamokawa Grange hosting the candidate’s forum for the upcoming November election was a huge success. Chuck Parker is a true “Master of Ceremonies,” and Chuck and the grange members deserve our thanks for organizing and hosting this event. It is estimated that about 100 people were in attendance. There were good presentations by all the candidates and the questions and answers by candidates were lively and informative. However, there was one outstanding exception to have a complete program. Our District Court Judge Bill Faubi...

To The Eagle: Nelson Creek project is yet another debacle produced by Columbia Land Trust, without proper notification of affected land owners, entities affected and people responsible for the land in question.

Friday there was a ‘meeting’ to try to get some of the Kandoll farm problems fixed. Unfortunately it proved to more about the salmon, than the problems to the resident people, as p...
To The Eagle: Many people find great joy in volunteering for the greater good of the community and find it very rewarding to lend a helping hand where one is needed. Just yesterday as I was checking my mail at the local post office an elderly woman was struggling as she was exiting with a large box in her hands. It was very refreshing to see that another patron politely asked if she needed help and then, proceeded to help her. I frequently see examples like this everyday in our wonderful community and would like to see more of this as I begin...
