The Wahkiakum Mule volleyball team had many wins in a busy week. The Mules traveled to Mossyrock for a league match last Thursday and won in four games, 26-24, 14-25, 25-19 and 25-23.

The Wahkiakum Mules outscored the Onlaska Loggers 36-28 in Central League football last Friday. The Mules scored at the end of the third quarter to go up 36-28 and controlled the ball for the fourth quarter to win their hardest game so far this season. The Mules’ score could have been higher, Coach Eric Hansen said. “We didn’t finish them off when we had them down,” Hansen commented. The game ended with the Mules kneeling the ball down just outside the Logger endzone instead of punching in anoth...
SUPER NICE--What a difference a week makes, as this weekend we had absolutely gorgeous weather, compared to the soaking we had the week before, so it was really great. The night-time temperatures were in the low 40s in West Valley, with lots of fog in the morning hours, but the sunshine that followed made it all worthwhile. With more rain due at the beginning of the work week, we can only hope that it clears up some by mid-week like they say it's going to, at least for a couple of days. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from Oct. 10-16...

To The Eagle: Quite a few folks are upset that the federal goverment is partially shut down. Even more are upset over the possibility Congress may not raise the debt ceiling by the deadline so we can increase the debt to a level that is even more outrageous than what we have now. All this posturing and maneuvering by Congress is all a part of the blame game politicians play. Why do people buy into all this? It is all a bunch of nonsense based on ignorance. Mind you, I’m not saying it isn’t serious nonsense. They are all very serious about it....

The poems range from formal structured piece...
