    Submitted by Bill Tawater, VFW Post 5297 On March 2 at the monthly VFW Wahkiakum Post 5297 meeting, eight local businesses were recognized by the Veterans of Foreign Wars for their support in the Buddy Poppy Program.

    The Wahkiakum Mules volleyball team split games on Monday and Tuesday with two more nights of travel planned this week and district play on the horizon.

    Diana Zimmerman|Mar 11, 2021

    Brody Carlson is a natural athlete who enjoys whatever sport he happens to be playing at any given time. Right now it happens to be football in March. "It's freezing in this weather," he said, remarking on one of the adjustments high school athletes have made during the pandemic, with shortened seasons starting late in the academic year, and out of order. Brody is the quarterback for the Mule football team. In two weeks he'll be playing shortstop for the baseball team, and in late April, he'll...

    Diana Zimmerman|Mar 11, 2021

    School just isn't Bryson Haven's thing. Don't ask him for his favorite teacher; he has no answer for his favorite subject. But that's okay. This young man already knows the value in a day of hard work, and is ready for more. "I'm just [at Wahkiakum High School] to get out of here and get a job," Bryson said. And to be fair, there is probably the added benefit of seeing his friends. He isn't certain what that future job is just yet, but he knows what he will be doing the day after graduation. He'...
