Oneida Road As a relatively new person to the county by local standards, it has been my pleasure to travel the different roads in the area. I have seen some of the maintenance needs on Eden Valley Road, Hull Creek Road, and Shannon Road. They all have their needs, but the one that really stuck out in my mind was Oneida Road. Not that this road was any different, but there were so many spots on Oneida Road that are dangerous to oncoming traffic because the road is not wide enough. The road has...
The Naselle-Grays River Valley School Board of Directors met for its monthly meeting on February 18, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. in the Middle School Commons.

SOGGY--As of this writing, we are measuring just a snitch shy of 50" of rainfall since the beginning of the year; that's wet! However, when the weekend showed up, it got drier, albeit colder, but hey, we got to see the sun shining after the fog lifted and well, that was so welcomed after days of gloom and steady rainfall! The clear weather also meant we got to see some fantastic views of the "Snow Moon" so that was pretty special as well. In some areas around here, there were even some pretty hefty winds blowing one night, so some calm days...

American Legion Crab & Oyster Feed Saturday evening was quite a delight for the supporters of the annual American Legion crab and oyster dinner. Some of those who live on the east side of KM were not aware that as of approximately four p.m., Friday the highway was open to single lane traffic. They took the ferry to Westport then on to Astoria to cross the bridge to come back to Rosburg. That is a two hour drive one way. Fortunately they had a shorter ride back over KM. Dale Rose informed me that...
To The Eagle: First let me say that I am in favor of providing the best education possible in the best facility possible in our community. I think school facility maintenance and repair is an ongoing responsibility of school administration, not a once in a generation undertaking. My issue with what has been proposed for our school is the overall cost. I once served on a school board in a small Washington community and we needed to build a new school for K through 12 grades. That school was 33,000 square feet, the year was 1990 and the cost to...
To The Eagle: A message from Naselle School Board Chair: Chuck Hendrickson [Naselle school board chair] - Jan 25 7:09 PM “I’m school board chair at Naselle and have been following the discussion regarding your [Cathlamet] proposed renovation with great interest as we are also considering a renovation of one of our buildings. We have been advised by ESD112 [SW WA Education Svc District] to approximate construction costs at about $400 per square foot. I have been in contact with the superintendent of South Bend’s school district. They are buildin...

SR 4 to Open As of Sunday afternoon SR 4 was still closed, yet a single lane had been prepared for traffic with the automatic signal light at each side of the slide area. A worker on site informed me that the road may be open this week, but not to quote him. Celeste Dimichina from the WSDOT southwest office in Vancouver informed me on Monday morning that as far as she knew the highway would still be closed indefinitely. By the time readers get this story the road could be open, but with more rain expected, only God really knows. Dimichina sent...

Flooding in Grays River Every year the rains bring the chance of flooding to the Grays River watershed along with landslides. This is the beginning of a new year and we have had both. It is one thing to be isolated because of the flooding, but the major landslide on SR 4 blocked everyone from going east. I was not able to travel anywhere and I live near the Methodist Church in Grays River. Adam Storm sent me a pic from his cannabis store with the intention for me to come down and see it for...
The Naselle-Grays River Valley School District met for its monthly meeting on Jan. 21 at 6:30 p.m. in the Middle School Commons.

The board approved a contract with Erik Fagerland, architect, for renovation of the...
NICER?--After a couple of days of snowy weather and then a couple of outages last week due to strong winds and debris flying everywhere, it's back to just rain and gloomy conditions, so I guess that's some sort of improvement anyway. Of course, by the time you read this, who knows what has happened, but with a little luck, we will just stay damp and dismal and not flooded and totally miserable, as one is certainly more preferred than the other. Here's to calmness this coming week! HOW DID YOU FARE?--Depending on where you were, you may have had...

Woodworker Extraordinaire Nobody at the Art Show at the Grange would have any idea the impact that the show would have on me. After talking with the artists and others, it occurred to me that there is so much talent in the Westend that it fathoms the imagination. The genius that is in the Westend has been hidden in plain sight. When all those around you can do generously amazing things with their talents, it goes unnoticed because it is so common. One of those talented woodworkers extraordinaire...
Naselle resident Gilbert Andrew Haataia, known to all as “Gib” died at age 80 in Astoria on November 12, 2019. His family was at his side at his passing. The son of George and Miriam Haataia, he was born in Cathlamet, Washington on May 15, 1939. Gib grew up on the family farm in Rosburg where he kept busy milking cows, making hay and tending to the farm. Gib attended school through eighth grade in Cathlamet grade school before the move to Rosburg. He was a 1957 graduate of Naselle High School. Three years later, on March 5, 1960 he married Sar...

First freshet brings opportunity Every once in a while the Grays River overflows its banks and sends thousands of cubic feet of water and debris downstream. The first freshet of 2020 brought not only flooding to the Westend, but an opportunity for a few to pull things from Grays River that has value. About 30 yards west of Duffy's on Friday afternoon I saw Wes Ware and Nick Hummer on a very large cedar log near the bank on the river. Their opportunity was to get this valuable cedar out of the...
Wahkiakum County, the Naselle/Grays River Valley School District (N/GRVSD) and other entities on Dec. 30 filed suit against the state Department of Natural Resources over the state marbled murrelet habitat management plan. And on Thursday, individuals and environmental groups filed their own suit against the DNR over habitat management and timber harvest programs, arguing that the agency hadn't done enough to preserve habitat for the endangered seabird. Besides Wahkiakum County and the Naselle/Grays River school district, other plaintiffs in th...

Navy Boxing Team Hawaii 1940 When I was six years old, my brother and I got a Christmas present we would never forget, two pairs of boxing gloves. These red gloves had a white face on the front with the picture of Gene Tunney on one glove and Jack Dempsey on the other. I had no idea at the time that these men were ex-boxing champions and no idea what the gloves were for. We found out real quick. My dad brought all the boys in the neighborhood to try to box each other. It sure was an odd way to...
Civilian Conservation Corps in Washington The New Deal was a series of programs and projects established during the Great Depression by President Franklin D. Roosevelt that intended to return prosperity to the American people. During the first eight years of the Roosevelt administration, the government instituted a series of New Deal projects and programs, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The Civilian Conservation Corps was a national public work relief program that operated from 1933-1942 to provide jobs for many Americans....
