TIME'S FLYING--Well, as you can see by the date, time is flying by super fast and we're already heading into our fourth week of the month. Where has the time gone and won't it please slow down? I think that ever since I was sick, I've been behind and cannot seem to get caught up on all the things I know that need doing before our rains come and don't leave. To top it all off, Autumn officially starts this Saturday, so say farewell to Summer. Let's hope for an Indian Summer and I'd say from the little heat wave of last weekend, we're headed in...

Fewer students are attending Wahkiakum schools this fall compared to last school year, school board members heard at a Tuesday night meeting. Wahkiakum School District Superintendent Bob Garrett explained that he had based this year’s budget on an enrollment of 432 for this fall. That figure came from class sizes at the end of last school year and an estimate of 30 kindergarteners. However, this month’s enrollment is only 403.4 full time equivalent (FTE) students. Garrett noted different factors contributed to the decrease: Some families hav...
Wahkiakum County commissioners on Tuesday agreed unanimously to use the latest design for a new county ferry. Commissioners have been studying whether to use the new, updated design capable of handling large trucks or go back to an original design that is less expensive but wouldn't handle the larger vehicles. Commissioners have been concerned that the extra cost of the new design, which includes modifications to the shape of the ferry's hull and loading ramps, would severely limit County Road Department funds for regular or emergency...

Visitors and friends attending the fair had a wonderful group of people to welcome them through our Wahkiakum County Fair gates. Our admission booths were staffed with some of the nicest people from our local area. I heard some comments back about being a ticket taker last August and they were all good! Maybe it was the little bag of treats Valle or Azery took to the workers about half way through their shifts. Maybe it was knowing they were needed and a big part of helping with fair time volunteer activities. We cannot thank them enough for...
