The cumulative number of cases of covid-19 being reported by the Washington Department of Health for Wahkiakum County rose by one this week to 599. Disclaimer: With the easy accessibility of at home tests, the actual number of active covid-19 cases and actual cumulative numbers in the county, are hard to know. The total number of hospitalizations remained at 41 over the last week, as did the number of deaths attributed to the virus, which stands at nine. While state DOH is reporting that 69.1...

They've found common ground: They are a social group, interested in people, service, boats and boating, and they love this community and this location on the Columbia River. "We got tired of going to Astoria," Dan Cary, a Cathlamet resident and one of the founding members said, laughing....
The Town of Cathlamet is conducting a periodic review of the 2019 Shoreline Master Program (SMP) as required by state law. This project is focused on any needed fine-tuning and house-keeping revisions, not another complete overhaul or rewrite. The purpose of the review is to ensure that local requirements for use and development along the waterfront stay up-to-date with changes to state laws and rules; other town plans and regulations and local circumstances, new information and improved data. The review process will determine if program...
SUNNY DAYS--It looks like we’ve been given a dry stretch of weather this week, although we did get a slight bit of moisture over the weekend. Of course it was very slight and only fell in some areas, but I thought it was still nice to have my leaf feeding plants get a bit of a drink at least. I still think those 70 degree temperatures are really ideal so when it climbs up into those 80s and 90s, like we are experiencing here on Monday, I think many of the folks working or practicing sports in that heat are wishing it wasn’t quite so toa...

The fair is only as good as we are, it seems to me. It's not a traveling show that comes to visit the county every year. We have to create our own fun. It's a chance to celebrate who we are and, I think, a perfect opportunity for some good natured competition. That's why I decided to issue the pie baking challenge this year. I'm so glad I contacted the Woman's Club, and that they ran with it, making the challenge even better with their support, pie kits, sign up sheets, pictures, and certificate...

Brenda White opened Aunt B's Grooming on Main Street in Cathlamet last month, and old clients and new ones are keeping her busy. White has been grooming dogs for nearly 15 years. She worked for a wind turbine company for several years prior to that, but when she got laid off, she decided it was high time she started following her own dreams. When White was young, she wanted to be a veterinarian. It was too late for that particular dream, but in her own tenacious way, she found a substitute that...
SUNNY START--After a weekend that saw a few showers out here in West Valley, we were back to sunny skies as this work week begins. Unless things change drastically, it appears we are in for a dry week, and even longer, so it looks like our Summer is going to continue for a bit. Considering there has been some massive flash flooding in other parts of our country, I am certainly happy to be here in the Pacific Northwest at the moment.

One week from today, August 25, will be September 1 and the first day of school for students at Naselle/GRV school. It’s been a short summer for many of us because it seemed summer didn’t truly start till mid-July. The helianthus and dahlias are blooming so that’s a sign of late summer. Photo of the Week: As I left Finn Fest, I stopped to take a photo of Valley Bible Church’s flags on their sign. I have seen both flags, our national flag and the flag of Finland, several times hanging there....
