Matthew De La Grange values his time. So much so, he intends to spend his days doing something that makes him happy. Ever since Matthew was young, he's been interested in building. His brother is a civil engineer, and Matthew considered following in his footsteps, but that involved too much math and too much time. So instead, he plans to combine building with another passion: cars. "I'd rather do something I enjoy," Matthew said. "Time flies when you are doing what you love." One day, Matthew wa...
Michael Menard can take the heat. He grew up on the plains in Iowa, Kansas, and Texas, and quite frankly, liked the temperature and the humidity. That's why you'll always find him wearing black and jeans, even when it's 90 degrees here. He momentarily flashed back to life on a quiet farm in the middle of nowhere, laying on hay bales and looking up at the night sky. "It was so nice," he said. About six years ago, his family moved to Wahkiakum County to be closer to his paternal grandparents....

The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team won two more games this week, and senior Jake Leitz continued his double-double streak. Last Thursday, the team beat Kalama at home 60-59. "Kalama was a good win, but I don't think either team played all that clean," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "It's still early in the season. They did some good things down the stretch. I think we executed in the middle part of that fourth quarter. We could have made things a little easier in the last few minutes of the...
