Following Veteran’s Day last year, I proposed a joint project between the Naselle-Grays River High School (NHS), The Appelo Archive Center in Naselle and the American Legion Post 111 in Deep River. The project was to have NHS juniors in my US History class interview veterans living in the school district and video tape those interviews so their experiences could be preserved for future generations. As a part of that project, Tavish Hammonds and Rachel Underwood interviewed William (Billy) Wuorinen, a resident of Naselle. As the interview u...

At least we are seeing some real spring like weather the past few days. The temperatures are still colder than normal, I think. The poor cherry trees and apple trees aren’t sure whether they should start to bloom or not.

The Mules took advantage of smart base running and numerous Comet errors as they sent the Comets packing with a 15-1 defeat last Friday in Cathlamet. Defense was a chore for the Comets as they committed eight errors that led to many of the Mules’ runs. However, the Mules did their part at the plate as well, tallying 12 hits and swiping a ridiculous 17 bases. The Mules also took advantage of five walks and three hit batters. Brandon Fudge led the charge offensively, going three for four with a double, three runs batted in, three stolen bases and...

Is it ever going to really be spring, or is it already over? Then where is summer? I haven’t even seen a trillium on our property yet. I do have a couple of hummingbirds back, finally.

It’s definitely spring. The birds singing and chirping in the morning is enough to wake anyone up. I don’t remember them starting out so early in the morning though. Daffodils are blooming everywhere even where there haven’t been any before. Must be from flood waters. I’ve even seen quite a few eagles sitting in the trees along the Grays. Looking for an easy fish meal, maybe? News from Naselle: Remember when all the rhodies in front of the school were just huge and beginning to look kind of ratty? Then they were all cut back due to their h...

Wahkiakum County commissioners addressed a variety of issues at their meeting Tuesday ranging from bridge work to legislative lobbying. A bridge maintenance crew from the Washington Department of Transportation will start work next week to repair the East Valley Road bridge over Wilson Creek. The bridge has been limited to one-lane traffic since inspectors discovered early this winter that the road deck is disintegrating. Public Works Director Pete Ringen sought assistance from WSDOT because, he said, their repair crews have expertise and equip...

The Naselle - Grays River Valley School Board met February 15 to discuss preparations necessary to include a bond measure on the February, 2012, ballot. The first step, explained District Superintendent Rick Pass, is for the board to advertise a request for proposals from architectural firms. This proposal would be for pre-bond planning. After receiving the proposals, a committee would go through all the applications and schedule three or so to do presentations to the board and committee to assist in their final selection. Pass suggested that...

Looks like snow and colder weather is on the way. Time to stock up on a few necessary supplies just in case. Remember to check on your animals, make sure their water is thawed and available, and that they have a warm, dry place to bed down. It’s also a good idea to check on your neighbors just in case they need something that you might be able to help them with. We’re all in this weather pattern together, so it can’t do any harm to help each other out. News from Naselle: The first grade class at Naselle School was alive with excitement that...

A store owner reported that a man had stolen some wine and gone to a nearby business whose owner asked him to leave. The man sped off in a pickup, and the owners re...
The Naselle Comette defense was too much for the Wahkiakum Lady Mules as Naselle won a 49-29 2B Girls District Tournament basketball team Tuesday in Rochester. The Mules had a tough time advancing the ball down the court against the Comets full-court pressure and open looks from the field were few and far between. The Mules mustered only 29 points on eight of 55 shooting from the field and 11 for 29 from the free throw line. The loss ends the Lady Mules' season. The Comettes had a much better night, shooting 38 percent as they rolled to a...
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has repored that contrators have opened State Route 401 between the Astoria-Megler Bridge and Naselle two weeks earlier than expected.

The department signed an emergency contract with Tapani Underground Inc. of Battle Ground, whose crews worked seven days a week to excavate more than 2,000 dump-truck loads of dirt, rocks and debris.

GRAY BEGINNING--The first couple of days of this week have been gray and drizzly but the sun came up Tuesday morning while temperatures dropped below freezing. They say we're going to have some clear but colder temps, so I hope you are prepared for that. Despite the mild temperatures we had the last week in January, this is still winter. Remember when the water line to Puget Island froze and broke? I bet everyone on Puget Island does! Let's hope we don't get that kind of weather again, as it was registering zero degrees in West Valley that day...
