A wet night proved to be to the Wahkiakum Mules' liking as they dominated the Winlock Cardinals for an 18-2 Central League football win last Friday. The Cardinals fumbled the ball seven times under pressure from the wet weather and the Mule defense, and the Mule offense unleashed a balanced running and passing attack that moved the ball on the visitors. "It was huge," Mule Coach Eric Hansen said of the victory. "It's nice when everyone does their assignments." Winlock looked like they would be in the driver's seat as they picked up big yards on...

FALL IS HERE--The leaves are falling, the rains seem to visit us on more days than the sun and our days turn into nights before eight p.m. these days, so I'm thinking, Summer is definitely over and Fall is here! However, the weatherman said we may get a few warm days this week, so maybe we'll get our webbed feet dried out one more time before this year comes to an end. By the way, when we get these misty, foggy and darker days, it's best to get those head lights on early so that others can see you much more easily. Defensive driving is a real...

Wahkiakum PUD commissioners reviewed water rights applications, talks with the town, and their disconnect policy at their meeting on September 21. Manager Dave Tramblie recalled the board’s request at the last meeting that he contact Cathlamet Mayor George Wehrfritz to discuss ways to partner on similar activities, such as the town contracting with the PUD for water meter reading or billing services.

Wahkiakum County officials are on track to approve as much as $200,000 in capital improvements to infrastructure in Wahkiakum County in 2011. The county adopted a resolution in 2004 that place a tax of .25 of a percent on real estate sales, and the fund has grown to $750,000, Treasurer Paula Holloway said Tuesday. The ordinance creating the fund limits its use to infrastructure and capital projects, but it may be shared among county government and junior taxing districts. This year, commissioners established a committee, headed by Commissioner...
Cathlamet Mayor George Wehrfritz has ordered a selective spending freeze in response to an anticipated budget shortfall for 2010, and some department heads aren't happy. Wehrfritz said Monday it appears the town's general fund will be about $41,000 short of its expected revenue for 2010 because of declines in sales tax receipts and other taxes which are suffering in the national recession. The town's sewer and water departments, with revenues based on usage fees, however, are doing fine. In other business Monday, the council asked the planning...
With the arrival of the rainy season--today (Thursday) is the first day of autumn--Wahkiakuam County commissioners decided there is no hurry to develop a controversial biosolids ordinance.

After taking public input, commissioners asked Prosecuting Attorney Dan Bigelow to develop an ordina...
