MIXED UP BEGINNING--As this week began, Sunday was sure a wild mix of weather, with some sun, some rain, some hail and even some very gusty winds in certain areas. I think much of West Valley escaped the worst of the winds, as I got very little of that here at my house, while folks elsewhere seemed to get the brunt of it and even had their gazebos torn apart! Further east, there were even some power outages, so it definitely depended on where you were as to how bad the weather was that day. I think this is the second time this year that we've...
Oneida Is Gone but Not Forgotten Oneida Road and the few residents that live there today is a visible reminder of a once thriving community that became a ghost town nearly a century ago. The Columbia River, Grays River, and Deep River were the main highways for the early settlers who settled in what was to be called Oneida. They were mainly from Sweden and Finland and they cleared the land and built their homes. As these first pioneer families, who had relatives in the east, began to flourish, it became necessary to have a school and a post...

Census Day is April 1st – Everyone Counts Where else can you spend 10 minutes answering 10 questions that will affect your community for 10 years? The 2020 US Census is closer than you think. Everyone counts, and the census under the US Constitution is required to count every person in the United States every 10 years. It is critical that small towns such as Cathlamet and rural areas such as Wahkiakum County be accurately counted. Census results determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year. T...

HALF AND HALF--As this week began, we had sort of a gray but dry start, but by mid-afternoon Sunday, the rain started to fall pretty heavily and along with some wind, made for quite the racket on the windows around my place. Thankfully this dark soaker didn't last too long and we got back to some sunshine, but we're definitely doing the "half and half" routine around here. Drier but colder weather followed that but we're supposed to be back to the boots and umbrellas type weather by the weekend, so here's hoping that we don't get anymore...

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...
