NICE WEEKEND--We had some heavy fog in the morning hours over this past weekend and part of last week, but it turned out sunny and nice, so all of those big fund raisers got to be held without getting soaked, and the huge "End of the World Rod Run" down in Long Beach, got to travel around in mostly sunshine at least. They say we're in for cooler weather rolling in Sunday evening and more on Monday, well, we may be a little wet by the time you read this. However, as I send this in on this Tuesday morning, it may be a little cool out there but...

The energy was contagious at the first annual Warriors, Widows and Heroes event last Thursday at the Elochoman Slough Marina.

Mason runs a program called Fish'n Trips for Heroes, providing an opportunity for Wounded Warriors to experience fishing. Normally, Mason takes out one or two at a time. Mickelsen wanted to try it...

Elmer has a great big wonderful grin, but he's still too shy to talk very much. After three and a half years of frustrations and not knowing if it would actually happen, this 10 year old boy from the Pangasinan Province in the Philippines has finally come home. Rosburg residents Poul and Zenaida Toftemark were finally able to put a cap on the adoption process and bring Elmer to the states. "Every year we go home to the Philippines, where I am from," Zenaida Toftemark said. "The grandkids would...

Only a little more than a week before the kids have to hit the books with the start of the new school year. The teachers are already doing some pre classroom work before the desks are filled with eager students and practice for football and volleyball has begun.

We live in such a close knit community, and have an award winning system and team teaching our kids so I’m w...
COOLER--Last week's cooler weather certainly made me happy, as the bright sunny days were almost getting to be annoying. I was tired of hiding from the heat and sweating when I had to venture out in it. I know, the heat lovers are booing me, and I may regret wishing for rain, as once it starts, it may never stop, but for now, I was happy to see the rain that fell on Sunday.
