Roadwork started in Skamokawa
July 22, 2021
LOOKING GOOD As this week begins, we started out with a very sunny Sunday morning and with temps in the low 80s, it s just what the hay makers wanted to see. The forecast is looking dry with maybe a few days with a bit of cloudiness and temperatures in the low 70s, so that s sounding perfect to me.
FIRE DANGER It s still very important to be wary of anything that could cause a spark which could start a fire. As we have seen, there are thousands of acres in our Pacific NW area that are currently burning out of control and we really don t want to have anything like that happen here in our county. If you re towing a trailer, it s best to double check those safety chains so they aren t striking/dragging along the pavement, as recently, several fires along the freeway were caused because of that very thing happening. Here s to being mindful of the dangers of fire, and may we all take extra precautions during this super dry time.
Meet Our Seniors: Jason Hjaltalin
May 20, 2021
Jason Hjaltalin is not sure what he s going to do next, but it s bound to be one of two things gastronomy or astronomy. I like the stars and cooking, he laughed.
One day he would like to open a restaurant. Or study the stars. Maybe both.
He s currently enamored with Korean cooking, thanks to his girlfriend and her family, who are from South Korea. It s not plain old food. They have lots of spicy foods, Jason said, laughing. I really like the spicy stuff!
Jason was born in Wahkiakum, but when he was young, he moved to the east coast, primarily Maryland and North Carolina.
Remington Greenup
Like his brother Winchester, Remington Greenup was named for a gunmaker.
“[My parents] just thought it was a cool name because they go hunting a lot,” Remington said.
The sport of hunting never really took hold with Remington, whose friends sometimes call him Rem, or Remy.
He does love engines, however. His dad is a logger and mechanic, and Remington has been helping him as much as possible since he was very young.
“I loved to help,” Remington said. “Cars and trucks have been a lot of fun to me.”
He is knowledgable and practiced enough to have done a motor swap on one of his own trucks, as well as help his brother swap an engine in his.
