NIPPY--We woke up Sunday morning to temperatures below freezing so it was definitely a reminder that one needs an extra blanket on their bed and to put on some warmer apparel when they go outside! The rest of the week is looking mighty wet, so we can't forget our rubber boots, umbrellas and rain coats either! I just hope we don't have more slides or flooding at this busy time of year. While all this gray, wet and ugly weather persists, please be sure to turn on those headlights, as they may not help you see, but it sure helps others see you!...

It’s likely Santa has met a few firefighters in his day, considering how much time he spends going in and out of chimneys. Maybe that’s why he agreed to travel Wahkiakum highways and byways with crews from all the local fire departments this weekend on their second annual Wahkiakum County Fire and EMS Santa Run, as they parade around the community in their fire engines with lights a’glowing, and sirens a’blaring, all to collect donations for the STAR program, the Wahkiakum Animal Advocat...

What a good holiday! Thanksgiving is an ideal time to stop and think about all we have to be grateful for. This week I’m thinking about the school and all the organizations that bring hope and help all to our “downriver” communities.” I am very grateful for the folks who send me news about what’s happening, and Lisa Nelson who sends updates from the Naselle/GRV schools. And I’d like to remind you that the Naselle Youth Camp is also busy educating young men who need stability in their lives...

NICE BREAK--As I begin this column, we are having a nice break from the rain. While it was so foggy in West Valley on Sunday morning that it blocked our television reception for a bit. It did clear up and warmed up some and wound up to be a pretty decent day. However, by the time I went to bed, we had gotten down to freezing again, so I hope you've had those faucets covered and your plants inside. It looks to be dry for Wednesday when this paper comes out, however, it looks like the rain will be returning for your Thanksgiving Day dinner, so...
