TOASTY--If you wanted the heat to show up, you certainly got your wish for Mother’s Day weekend as most areas around our parts were sporting temperatures in either the upper 80s or low 90s and that was plenty hot for me! I believe our temperature gauge said 94 and to me, that’s just miserable and it means “hiding indoors in the AC” so it might as well be raining! Anyway, for all you “like it hot” folks, I hope you enjoyed it and didn’t get too sunburned! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from May 18-24 are Courtney Helms, Mitch Moonen,...

There was a Crime Watch meeting at the Naselle Fire Hall last week. One estimate said there were up to one-hundred in attendance. Here's Samantha Hollo's report on Facebook: "It was a great turn out at the community Crime Watch meeting at the Naselle Fire Hall tonight. I think the biggest take away was "Report, Report, REPORT." Law enforcement cannot do anything unless you call and report it. As little as it may seem, it could help form a pattern or maybe they already have that individual noted...

NICE/HOT/COOL--We've had quite a variety in weather lately, as one day it was just perfect to me; mild temps and easy to work outside, but then the following day we were at 92 degrees at my house; too hot! Sunday morning we were a bit damp in West Valley, so my boots didn’t get soaked but they weren’t dry either! The forecast changes from day to day and from town to town, but supposedly we should be a bit cloudy with no rain until the weekend; we’ll see! THURSDAY--If you’re one of those that gets this paper early on Thursdays, don’t forget th...

My friends, words help, but don't fully illustrate feelings. Even when looking at someone, it takes the eyes to fully reveal what's going on in a person's head and heart. When I saw Rick's opening words in last week's article about having days to live, I was in the commons room at the Naselle GRV High School. I had picked up the Eagle from my mailbox as I left to drive to Naselle. I didn't look at the front page till I was waiting for Kolten Lindstrom, valedictorian, to join me. I know my face m...
