***Advertisement*** WAHKIAKUM WEST TELEPHONE has been the local telephone company serving the Grays River and Naselle areas since approximately 1927. During the intervening years, we have worked hard to build a telephone system that would provide high quality telecommunications services to the communities we serve. We have done this notwithstanding the higher costs of serving rural areas in the State of Washington and when few, if any, other telephone companies were interested in serving our communities. We have served and intend to continue...
Sunday certainly brought an interesting storm to our area. The Grays River was over its banks and in the fields within a few minutes that afternoon. We drove to Rosburg at about 3 p.m. and in the time it took us to get back home the water was about four inches deep over our driveway coming in. Of course, Lake Fred (our pasture during fair weather and duck pond during storms), was already up by then and the creek was more than full. Such an exciting place to live, but you know, I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else. On Monday, our last two w...

The Mules jumped out to an early 11-0 lead and never looked back en route to a 60-36 season-opening victory over the visiting Naselle Comets Friday night to reclaim the KM Trophy. Despite an early third quarter run that momentarily brought the Comets to within six points, the Mules used some timely three-point shooting and pressuring defense to extend the lead quickly back to double-digits. John Chambers led the Mules in scoring with 18 points with Brett Chaput and Lars Blix contributing 11 and 10, respectively. Wyatt Parker had seven, Ryan Hel...

CALMER, SORT OF--As this work week begins, it is fairly calm outside; no snow or hail or packed ice or anything really terrible like last week, so I am thankful for that. While it looks like the rains are coming back this Monday afternoon with a vengeance, on Sunday it was nice with quite a bit of sunshine coming through. Nothing like sunshine to perk up one's mood! It looks like even more rain is in the forecast however, so by the time you read this, we'll probably be pretty soggy. I hope we don't wind up with any flooding. Keep a watchful...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was wonderful to get away for a few days, see family, eat too much and get some wonderful news as well. We kind of slip-slided our way to Redmond, Ore. for the holiday as the roads were pretty icy, but made it all in one piece. Our oldest granddaughter, Marlee, became engaged on Friday, and shared the news with us after her boyfriend, Scotty, proposed to her while they were hiking on Smith Rock, just outside of Redmond. They haven’t set a date yet but plan to be married in the summer. It looks l...
My goodness, it’s nearly December, and another year almost gone. Christmas is almost here. This was an unusual beginning for our week. Snow, snow and even a little more snow. An early deadline for the week also throws off the norm. It is really an interesting camp out trying to keep the water pipes from freezing in our motor home. We are actually getting some things done on the home building front though. The framing is nearly done and the roof is covered both upstairs and down with plywood and plastic which means the interior is mostly dry, s...

Naselle and Astoria will play host to author Michael Maryk of Bellingham for readings, discussions, and book signings of his new book “Sunpath.” It is a fictionalized version of 10- year old Aimo, his six-year old sister Anna, and eight-year old cousin Pehr’s hasty evacuation from Finland to Sweden during World War II. In preparation for writing this novel, Maryk spent two years in Sweden interviewing survivors from the “Finska Krigsbarn” (Finnish War Children). During that tempestuous time 75,000+ Finnish children were transported to safety...
We woke up this morning to four gunshots, not a real surprise as we had hunters on the property. It turned out to be a really successful hunt for Alan Gregory and Mark Zimmerman. They each got their bull elk. Alan’s was a four point plus two eye guard points and Mark’s was a three point plus two eye guards. Congratulations to you both. News from Naselle: PACNET (Pacific County Narcotics Enforcement Task Force) was at school on November 4 for an educational assembly at which time Simon, the PACNET drug dog was introduced. Four deputies, inc...
The South Bend Indian football team took advantage of six Wahkiakum Mule turnovers to claim a 35-7 victory in the opening round of Class 2B state football playoffs last Saturday.

The Mules fumbled the ball away on their next drive, and South Bend put another score on the board early in the second quarter. They added another for a 20-0 halftime lead. South Bend went up 27-0 in the third quarter. The...

Five and a quarter inches of rain in the bucket, five inches of water over the driveway, ducks, sea gulls and geese in the lake that is usually a pasture; I think winter is coming. The weatherman says a few days of sun are in store. Maybe we can get some more work done on the house. News from Naselle: Another win for the Naselle Comets with a score of 47-14 against Ocosta. Congratulations Team! Sports coming up this week include: Friday, the 5th- football crossover with Central League; Saturday, the 6th- cross country state meet at Pasco. What...
SO-SO--As we ended one month and began another, the weather was a mixed bag of either sunshine, gorgeous out, like last Friday, or rain, which consumed a good deal of Saturday. Halloween, which was Sunday, began quite nice and didn't cloud up until the latter half of the day. However, November began with a very wet and miserable day, which caused "lakes" to form in a big hurry. If this is a sign of things to come, it looks like we'd better keep a close watch on our creeks and streams as we don't want to be caught unaware in a flood situation....
