To The Eagle: In regards to the article by Karen Bertroch on Nov. 11, Naselle school board meeting: What she wrote about the military man who spoke was totally wrong. What he said was he's been around the world and what is happening now is that our country is going down hill. He asked if the school board has access to a lawyer and if so, that they should utilize them. He never said to follow authority. If a reporter is there to report what happens and what is said they need to get the information right, if they don't get it correct then it...

Photo of the Week: Kim Angelis with her two +1 collies. Kim has two collies of her own and is "dog sitting" a third for a friend. What a fine time I had visiting with her and the dogs. There were four dogs in the house at one point because Ben, my dog, was with me. He stayed in the yard with her dogs while she and I visited in her house (Elenora Hillis') in Naselle. She has had the property for four years and done a great job continuing to restore it as the Tienhaara Family did before Kim. She g...

Some history on roads: The inconvenient second site closure on 401 gives me pause to be thinking of the years before "official" roads were built. Folks in the pioneering years (1850's to early 20th century) used water for their transportation. As the small communities grew, and wanted to be connected, boats were their primary mode to travel back and forth. There were several early larger boats that took mail, produce, people and shoppers back and forth from Astoria to the small towns along the...

Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews have closed a 9-mile stretch of State Route 401, also known as Lewis and Clark Trail Highway, after heavy rainfall on Wednesday, Oct. 27, triggered a debris slide on to the roadway. For the safety of the traveling public, SR 401 will remain closed between the Astoria-Megler Bridge at milepost 0.00 and Knappton Road at milepost 9.0 for an estimated four to six weeks. Travelers who need access on either side of the closure will detour using SR 4 and US 101. “Safety is our number o...
Wahkiakum County commissioners covered a lot of ground when they met Tuesday, from approving needed staffing for the mental health program to approving a franchise for Western Wahkiakum County Telephone Company's broadband expansion into the eastern portion of the county. Commissioners got started by approving a request from county Health and Human Services to hire a part-time mental health therapist. Department Director Chris Bischoff said the position is needed immediately, for the mental health program is down to one therapist instead of...

Last week I spent two hours with one of my very favorite friends, Kayrene Gilbertsen. She moved to Battle Ground several years ago, so I don't get to see as much of her as I did when she lived on Puget Island. She was one of the first friends I made when I moved to Wahkiakum County. She was raised on the Island and she is about as Norwegian as anyone can be. As we all get older, the friends we've known for a long time become so precious. We hadn't seen each other in a couple years, so it was a...

"It's a rainy day in Georgia" and Grays River. This is real fall rain. I know because my arthritis shows its painful head when I move from my bed. The rain reminds me that at many times during the past year, I missed the sound of rain on the roof. But each day, before I move very much, I make a thank you list for God and pray for a peaceful world. On my list, I give thanks for just waking up, reminding myself that I am alive and moving. Second, I give thanks for Ben, my dog, who is always at my...
