WEEKEND WEATHER--As I left my house Saturday morning with a car loaded full of chairs, tents, weights, and raffle items, I was met with a nasty, wet surprise as I traveled down the road, this was not going to be a fun Bald Eagle's Day in the rain and my mood was turning more dour as the miles went by and my wipers had to be turned up a little higher. Needless to say, I was relieved to turn my frown upside down, as when I got to the Elochoman Road turn off, the pavement suddenly turned dry!...
On July 9, a little before 4 a.m. Fred Cantrell was asleep in his fiancée's home on Altoona Pillar Rock Road when he heard a loud explosion. Startled, he jumped out of bed and hurried into the kitchen. He found a wall of fire. He ran to his future wife's room and shouted. "There's a fire in the house! Get up!" "I was deep in sleep," Kathy Hamilton said. "But I heard the word 'fire' and I just ran." In their bare feet and pajamas, they ran for the door. Hamilton grabbed her purse, cell phone...
There are six girls vying to be Queen of the Wahkiakum County Fair this year. It may sound romantic, but there is a bit of work involved. It's a bit like a summer job, according to Fair Manager Patty Dursteler. "The girls are responsible for fund raising," Dursteler said. "They will be selling fair passes and raffle tickets and coming up with their own ways to raise money." The princess who raises the most money wins the crown. The money they raise will go towards bills, upkeep, improvements and...

"The blacksmith used to be the king of crafts," Naselle resident David Curl said. "If you needed a tool you went to a smith." Solstice Forge sits on a hill just east of Naselle. It's a sunny peaceful spot with a garden that grows larger each year and a dog named Patches that just can't get any bigger. If you step into the shade of the shop, your ears will begin to adjust to the older melodies playing on the radio, and your eyes will light on the tools of a trade that went out of fashion with the...

As I finish up this column, the temperature is climbing and it looks like a really warm day for this Tuesday. Personally, I prefer the cooler days, but as long as it doesn’t last too long, I guess I can tolerate it. I love the sudden warm showers, then sunshine and even some rainbows on occasion. It’s time to make hay though, guess I shouldn’t jinx the haymakers. Fourth of July is tomorrow (Friday), and hopefully many will be celebrating with family and friends. Please remember to take special pains with your pets and keep them safe. So many...
