By Superintendent Lisa Nelson On Tuesday, September 20, the Naselle/GR Valley School Board had its first business meeting of the school year. One empty chair was immediately noticeable.

Others on the board mentioned that his commitment to the school was extraordinary...

"God save the King." I heard that for the first time this morning (Monday) as Britain laid Elizabeth II to rest at Windsor Castle. And the new King cried. And I cried. She's been in my world every day of my life. My maternal Grandmother instilled in me that I am of British descent. Ancestry may say I am part Scandinavian, but she would never accept that, I'm sure. As for the Queen, I think the whole world mourns her loss. She was known by people from five years old to 95 years old for so long...

A young Wahkiakum Mules volleyball team hosted Naselle at their home opener on Monday and lost to the Comets in four sets, 15-25, 22-25, 25-22, and 15-25. "Naselle has a strong squad this year, and we knew we would have to take care of the ball pretty well to be successful," Coach Kayli Hurley said. "We had some really great moments but weren't able to string it together long enough to come out on top for more than a set." Mule standouts for Hurley included Miya Kerstetter, who had four kills...

Fall is coming: One week from today will be the first day of fall. Small leaves are already starting to fall on Loop Road and the corn is looking good on the Zimmerman's farm. The new property assessments came in the mail which rocked the world for several landowners. Don't forget that you can apply for the senior discount if you qualify. Take your tax returns to the Assessor's office and see if you can get in that program. You must be over a certain age and meet the other criteria, but it's...

STILL SUNNY--As I begin this column, we’re still enjoying the sunshine although a few sprinkles did appear in a couple of spots over the weekend but as usual, not everyone got them. I was happy that the plants around my place are mostly “leaf feeders” and they got a little drink at least. One can tell Fall is in the air as the evening temps dropped considerably and the leaves are starting to crackle and drop, so it won’t be long and my “green” view will give way to an orange and brown view prior to the bare look, which isn’t nearly as nic...

It feels like fall to me. It was cold this morning (Tuesday). Wet mornings, fog, plants nearing their last days, kids back at school and our lives move on into a new season. Fall is often a time of dying leaves, but it can also be a time of new blessings, like warmth from a good fire and the love of old friends. May God bring a season of blessings to all of us, no matter what season we are living in our lives. "All good things around us are sent by Heaven above." Amen. Photo of the Week: Last...

Photo of the Week: The Wahkiakum PUD crew came to my house last week to remove an aspen tree that was growing too near the power line in my yard. Three very capable men came, Mark, Frankie and Scott. Three boys were there to help also, my yard helpers who have been another great crew, Theo, Gus and Bowen Burkhalter. They happened to be working in my yard the second day that the PUD crew came when they brought the chipper/mulcher machine and mulched the tree within 30 minutes. It was a shock to...

Wahkiakum School District Board of Directors heard about improvements made by custodial and maintenance staff at the district, an improved phone system thanks to Wahkiakum West, and the plan for opening the school for the academic year, which begins next week. Superintendent Brent Freeman said there was another HVAC failure at the district, which had to be replaced immediately as it was used to keep computer equipment cool. “I didn’t have a choice or an option but to replace it,” Freeman said. ...

One week from today, August 25, will be September 1 and the first day of school for students at Naselle/GRV school. It’s been a short summer for many of us because it seemed summer didn’t truly start till mid-July. The helianthus and dahlias are blooming so that’s a sign of late summer. Photo of the Week: As I left Finn Fest, I stopped to take a photo of Valley Bible Church’s flags on their sign. I have seen both flags, our national flag and the flag of Finland, several times hanging there....

This year, summer feels more like spring or fall to me, but after spending two weeks inside experiencing covid for myself, and the nasty medicine to fight it, I will take any season. I am feeling much better this morning while sitting out in the yard with Ben dog with flowers and birds telling God how grateful I am. I had a couple days that were scary for me because the side effects from the medicine seemed worse than the illness itself. I know there have been others ill with covid recently, so...
Last week turned out to be an exciting week for Eagle staff. You should know that we plan ahead to make sure we cover local events, such as the Finnish American Folk Festival that occurred July 29-31 in Naselle. Reporter Diana Zimmerman already had a series of interviews planned for the weekend, but western Wahkiakum/Naselle correspondent Karen Bertroch said she would be happy to cover the event for The Eagle. I have a compromised immune system and avoid crowds. And when Friday rolled around, I became concerned about my health. My lower left...
