Fun report about my Aunt Hattie in Phoenix. She's in her 90's and still lives alone in her own house. She was happy to hear I'm writing this column, so I gave her a subscription. She called to tell me her first Eagle had arrived. When I asked her if she read my column, she said, "Oh yes." Then she reported that she "really likes the Sheriff's Report." For someone who lives in a huge city, imagine how the Sheriff's Report must impress you. I love her dearly and remember her house in Anderson, Ind...
In their last regular game of the season on April 22, the Wahkiakum Mules baseball team beat Onalaska 16-5 in front of a home crowd. "It was Senior Day," Coach Marc Niemeyer said. "We clobbered the baseball with 18 hits as a team. It was a fantastic show the seniors put on in their final game at the Mule baseball field. I am so proud of these seniors and the men they have become. All seven of these men will be great fathers and husbands. Thank you seniors for letting me be a big part of your...

During high school, he preferred to spend his time in the Vocational/Agriculture classroom with Kyle Hurley. "I like Mr. Hurley," Colton said. "I like his classes and he's pretty funny." Colton really likes...

Originally from Astoria, Zachary is living with the Mahitka family and is pleased to be in Cathlamet. "I love it a lot more than Astoria," he said. "The community is great. Everyone is nice." His favorite teacher, Kyle Hurley, is a sometime employer. "He helped me...
For some strange reason, it was the baseball coach's wife who decided years ago that Tristan Collupy should play the position of catcher. He's been happily hunkered down at home plate ever since. "I love it," Tristan said. "I get to see everything. I've been playing baseball since I started walking. I was pretty much born into it. My dad has always been a sports fan and played baseball. I've carried it on." Tristan also plays football, and turned out for basketball for two years. The baseball co...
