The Mule wrestling team competed in two events last week. On Wednesday the Mules traveled to Ocosta High School in Westport for a district seeding competition, and then traveled to Clatskanie to take place in their first annual Clatskanie Invitational. At the Ocosta meet the Mules competed in 12 matches and won 10 of them. The Mules gained valuable seeding criteria for the district tournament that takes place the first Saturday of February. "Overall we wrestled great," said head coach John...
One day you're up; the next day you're down. The Wahkiakum Mule boys basketball game found itself in the reverse of that observation this past week. Last Thursday the Mules lost 57-42 at home to the Napavine Tigers. The loss dropped them out of first place in the Central League. Napavine led a defensive ball game 23-22 at halftime. The Mules took a brief lead in the third quarter, but the lid went on the basket; the Mule offense stalled, and the Tigers pulled away to win. Cody Olsen led the Mule scoring with 15 points. Ty Bain and Wyatt Parker...

WILD WEATHER--We started off this week with quite a storm as the rains came pounding down and hit my front windows in a fury and the winds just roared down the valley and sent the trees in a frenzied dance. While most seemed to have escaped any problems, those of us living in West Valley found ourselves in the dark about midnight Sunday. Our new overhead power lines were no match for a big tree which came across the road, into the lines and through our fence. Ah…such is life in the country. But all was well after about five hours of quiet. W...

Wahkiakum drivers need to be aware of the new driving laws that took effect in Oregon January 1. Some of the new laws are quite strict. One law in particular has changed and is yet to be referenced in the Oregon Driver Manual and has to be broken first before one realizes there is such a law. The law most Washingtonians could get nabbed for is Oregon’s new “hands free” wireless law. Under the wireless hands-free law, if you are over the age of 18, you may use a wireless device in conjunction with a hands free accessory that allows you to keep...

A definition of survival: staying warm and dry, while waiting to be found. 1...
Taxpayers might not realize the good news, but Wahkiakum County hasn't set tax levies for this year. That should change early today (Thursday) when the commissioners reconvene a recessed meeting. Commissioners received resolutions to set the levies for the year at their Tuesday meeting, but Commissioner Lisa Marsyla, who had just returned from vacation, said she wanted to check the figures. The commissioners are shifting $200,000 from the county road levy to the Current Expense Fund, and when Marsyla learned Treasure Paula Holloway hadn't seen...

The Elochoman Salmon hatchery could again produce fish under a plan discussed Tuesday by local and state officials. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) closed the hatchery in 2009 as part of a plan to eliminate hatchery reared salmon from tributaries of the lower Columbia River. However, it might be possible to create a chum salmon spawning and rearing station at the Elochoman Hatchery, said WDFW Regional Fish Program Manager Pat Frazier and Fish Biologist Bryce Glaser. The...
Members of the Cathlamet Town Council worked on a lot of issues pertaining to the town library when they met Tuesday. The good news is that new Mayor George Wehrfritz has arranged for Architects Without Borders to undertake a project to create a long-range development concept for the library and adjacent town facilities. The pro bono work would cost the town little or nothing. The group will select a team and come to Cathlamet in early February for a public meeting to explain the project and gather input. The bad news is that because projects...
The Washington Department of Natural Resources says the worst may be over for beleaguered Northwest sawmills and timber companies. In a report released this past September, the DNR said Wahkiakum’s timber sales hit bottom in the last quarter of 2009. The DNR is now saying the industry can look forward to slow but steady growth over the next two years. The recovery however depends on a huge number of factors starting with employment and interest rates. Work Source of Washington says u...
