On October 18, the Naselle/Grays River Valley School Board held their monthly meeting. All board members were present and approximately six attendees from the community.

At the time for public comment, an individual from the audience asked if the board had a chair since former President of the Board, Chuck Hendrickson resigned in August. Vice-Chair A...

Song By Randy Newman - “I think it’s going to rain today” Broken windows and empty hallways A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Bright before me the signs implore me To help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today This describes my reality in the fall season of prepa...

To The Eagle: I am endorsing Gene Strong for county commissioner. He was the commissioner who helped so much during the Naselle Youth Camp closure. He was at the public demonstration along with Jim Walsh, one of our State Representatives for District 19. Not one Pacific County commissioner attended the two public events to protest the closure, but Gene was there. He regularly attends the Grays River Habitat Enhancement District meetings and has been actively working to gain progress with the Army Corps of Engineers for dredging Grays Bay. He...

Hi, neighbors. If you are a senior and want a flu shot, the County's Health Department will be giving shots from noon to 1 at Rosburg Hall today. If you read this early enough, you might make it down there. Flu shots are more important than ever now as we head into another flu season with covid 19 still out there, so get that flu shot even if it's not something you would usually do. We have lost too many to sit back and assume we won't be ill this winter. Rain: I am hearing that we have the...

Good morning! Last year my garage flooded twice, so this year I searched for help to control the high volume of water coming down the hill behind my garage. My neighbor, Bob Torppa, is known as a top operator and I know how true that is, but his equipment is too big to get into the narrow area where the stream hits the culvert carrying water down to the county's culvert. So, I hired Tyson Vogeler who has an excavator that's "just the right size," to see what he could do to help the situation....

We at The Eagle experienced "joys of publishing" moments after last week's edition came off the press. On Thursday, a reader shamed us for mixing "motor" with "mortar" on a story about a museum display. I guess we're more familiar with ordinances than ordnance. On page 1, a story said the Cathlamet Family Practice Clinic is open Tuesday through Thursday. Where did that come from? We know very well it should have been Tuesday through Friday. About dinner time on Wednesday, we learned from Facebook that the Mule football game time had been...

This is Dispatch #40 for the year. Eleven weeks remain in 2022. But hark, do not wail and worry, Christmas "stuff" is all over Fred Meyer, Costco and even Dollar General is ready. But please remember Thanksgiving after Halloween and before Christmas. I think it's the best holiday. Correction: Sometimes I get confused, move too fast and mess up. Last week's article on the Naselle GRV School Board meeting was written by this reporter, not Lisa Nelson. I moved too fast and did not type my name at...
The Naselle GRV High School Football Team practicing the day before the big homecoming game they won last Friday. Coach Kevin McNulty leads this team with a strong, but calm hand. The team works hard when no one is watching, so it seemed a good reminder to us all that behind the good plays they make, there is hard work, sweat and teaching from a skilled coach. Congratulations, Comets. Photo by Karen Bertroch....
Aris Campbell joined the school board officially at the last school board meeting. Later, he agreed to meet with me at his home where he, his wife, Megan and their two young children live on Upper Naselle Road. Both are working from home on-line as graphic designers. Aris attended Portland State studying psychology. Megan lived in Portland for 20 years and trained for graphic design. Aris wanted to come back to Naselle because of childhood memories of his grandparents, Francis and Lloyd...
NICE BEGINNING--As this work week begins, it's a very pleasant 75 degrees in West Valley, so this Fall weather isn't too bad, but by the time you read this, you may have experienced some raindrops, or are just doing so if you get this on Thursday. With ever changing weather models, we never know exactly who will see the "wet stuff" but I'm actually hoping for a bit of it so that all our springs and plants get a bit of a drink! As we end yet another month, I'd say we've had a pretty pleasant...

Greetings, dear readers: I know it sounds strange, but I have discovered the world's greatest mouse trap. A neighbor suggested I try it since I have tried almost every type of mouse trap, as Trudy Fredrickson will attest, and finally I've found it. It's called the "Intruder," and it is so simple. Available on Amazon, it is simple, clean, and gives them a gentle "passing on." The first time I used it, I put out four and within only a few hours, I had trapped three. This morning I trapped two....
