This is the fourth part of my disaster preparedness series, and this week I am going to discuss how you can get involved. In the face of emergencies and disaster, Americans come together with courage, compassion and unity and ask, “How can I help?” There are many ways to get involved, especially before a disaster occurs. Each resident can participate in activities to make their families, homes and communities safer and more prepared. The formula for ensuring a safer and more resilient community consists of volunteers that are trained and inf...

Juvenile chinook salmon density in shallow habitats downstream of Bonneville Dam is largely due to time of year, but density does differ across habitat types. The best habitats, according to a recent study, included those with higher percentages of tree cover, acceptable dissolved oxygen levels and higher emergent vegetation. The study looked at 63 months of data (2007 – 2012) from two tidal freshwater areas in the Columbia River – the Sandy River delta just east of Portland and a stretch of mainstem river downstream (river mile 68 to 88) tha...
Elevated marine toxin levels have prompted the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to cancel a razor clam dig scheduled to start Friday at Twin Harbors. State shellfish managers already scratched a dig at Long Beach – that was also scheduled to start Friday – due to elevated levels of domoic acid, a natural toxin produced by certain types of marine algae. The toxin can be harmful or even fatal if consumed in sufficient quantities. WDFW will continue to monitor toxin levels on all Washington beaches. The department has ten...
With a 42-6 win over the Winlock Cardinals last Friday, the Wahkiakum Mules kept themselves alive in a quest to advance to post season football playoffs. The Mules need to win at Toutle Lake this Friday. That would most likely put them in a tie with Toutle Lake and Mossyrock, and the teams would hold a playoff on Monday, with two of the three teams advancing to the crossovers on November 4. A loss to Toutle Lake would bring the season to an end. The Mules left no doubt last Friday, scoring twice...
The Wahkiakum Mules volleyball team split games this week losing in Kalama and beating Pe Ell at home. Last Thursday, the team lost to the Chinooks in Kalama, 13-25, 16-25, and 20-25. "Coming into this week against two really tough teams we knew it was going to take a lot of hard work and discipline to be successful," Coach Kayli Hurley said. "We didn't play terribly, and in fact, did some really good things. It just wasn't quite enough." "RayAnna Carlon had a great game with seven kills,"...
