HOT ONE--Holy cow, we finally had Summer show up with a real vengeance this past weekend and wouldn't you know, the hottest day just happened to be on Saturday when our all-school reunion took place, whew, it was hot! Rarely do we have a day that hot, let alone one with no wind to boot, so while those on the water were sailing along on a river that looked like a sheet of glass, the lack of a breeze just about cooked the rest of us. Sunday was much better with lower temps and a good breeze, so while it was still plenty sunny, it wasn't nearly as...

Home Depot employees showed local residents that they understand the impact of hard work and sweat equity. With the belief in the power of hands-on service, “Team Depot” volunteers joined community members at Lion’s Club Park in Naselle on Thursday to roll up their sleeves and get dirty. To the passersby, the park was spotted with bright orange t-shirts with the word “Team Depot” boldly printed across the chest. Inside, neighbors shoveled loose gravel into wheelbarrows, applied fresh coats of paint to existing structures, and planted new trees...
Wahkiakum PUD customers have responded to the call for donations to help eligible low-income customers keep the power on in their homes, Wahkiakum PUD commissioners heard Tuesday.

Commissioner Dennis Reid suggested changes to financial reports Wilson provided to t...
Wahkiakum County Assessor Bill Coons has good news and bad news for property owners. The good news is that property valuations are going down to reflect trends in the real estate market. The bad news is that property tax rates may go up to meet the amounts already set for collection in tax levies. "Given our system of taxation, just because values go down doesn't mean taxes will go down commensurately," Coons said Tuesday. On Tuesday, Coons informed the board of county commissioners that after the valuation of property in eastern Wahkiakum...

It looks like we have had our summer and we did indeed reach the 100 degree mark last Saturday. The marquee at the Naselle School actually said so, and lots of photos were taken of it. It was really hot. Thank goodness, it cooled off at night, and the misty mornings are welcome as far as I’m concerned. News from Naselle: In last week’s column I mentioned that there will be a new spot to get a cup of coffee in Naselle at the junction of SR 4 and SR 401. I’ve just had confirmation that Mochas & More will be opening this weekend on Saturday at no...
The roses are in full bloom, squash blossoms rise from the raised garden, benches boast a fresh coat of aquamarine paint and picnic tables line the walk just waiting for visitors to plop down and enjoy a plate of curly fries and a corn dog. The Wahkiakum County Fair, dedicated to the Grays River Grange in recognition of its hard work and community service, has begun to take shape. “It’s sort of like a family,” said fair manager Becky Ledtke of the many volunteers that come together each year in an effort to organize the fair. “We have six sup...
By a 3-1 vote, Cathlamet Town Council members approved a $97,000 change order for the town's wastewater treatment plant construction project. The payment will cover the cost of a new design for running the lines under SR 4. The original design called for boring a tunnel under the highway, but the boring contractor encountered rock that put a stop to that plan. Engineers and the contractors discussed other methods of crossing the highway and settled on digging a trench for the conveyance lines. Construction will start as soon as possible, said...
