Coming off a great duel meet in Astoria against R.A. Long, the Mules wrestling team went back to the Warrenton Warriors' 8-way Wrestling Tournament on Saturday. This tough tournament brings in many of the strong coastal schools from both Washington and Oregon, as well as Castle Rock who brings down their varsity squad. “Eight man, double elimination tournaments with this level of competition are difficult to place in,” said Mule Coach Matt Stacey, “making this weeks accomplishment all the more satisfying: Every varsity wrestler who enter...

While she waits for the outcome of two lawsuits filed to stop the implementation of Initiative 1183, which eliminates state-run liquor stores, Cathlamet Liquor Store owner Janelle Seaberg is considering what to do if the law takes effect on June 1. “The clock is ticking,” Seaberg said. “There are a lot of questions that aren’t answered.” Initiative 1183 closes state-run liquor stores June 1, 2012.
