The Wahkiakum Mules got off to a slow start and were never quite able to recover in a tough-to-take 63-52 loss at home Monday night against the visiting Mossyrock Vikings. After committing turnovers in four of their first five possessions, the Mules quickly found themselves trailing and were forced to play catch-up the entire game. Starting point guard Jon Chambers was ineligible, and various players filled in at unfamiliar positions. Leading a balanced scoring attack for the Mules was Wyatt Parker with 10 points followed by Brett Chaput, Ryan...

The Mules, who had a deeper bench, went on a 10-point run in the second quarter to lead 29-19 at halftime.

WET ENOUGH?--Holy cow, did we have some rain last weekend or what? Not to mention before and after the weekend! Then of course, there was the wind, which was howling enough through West Valley to wake me up and it sounded like a freight train was coming through the back of the house--not good! While my field is a lake, my road is above water, at least as I begin to write this, so that's a good thing. It sure beats being trapped at home due to two feet of water over the road, which has happened multiple times before. In Grays River, we saw...

We are sad to hear former Fair Manager Sandi Nelson has passed on. She was our Fair Manager for many years not so long ago. Sandy and her husband John always took time to walk around the fair and look at every animal and still-life exhibit. Each superintendent was thanked for the many hours they volunteered decorating and displaying exhibits. We all looked forward to the Fair entertainment each year. Sandy would get a big name band to come and play on our little stage. The bleachers would be full of people, all ages, sitting together rocking...

About 2,000 Washington residents have complained to the Attorney General’s Office about DIRECTV, which was accused of “unco...

Members of the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce and the Lower Columbia Economic Development Council are continuing to iron out details on their merger. The boards of directors of each organization have agreed to merge effective January 1. They hope to save money by ending duplicative services, and they hope their combined funding will allow them to maintain a level of staffing. The economic development council is facing a loss of state economic development funding. The EDC and Chamber share sales tax funds collected for promoting business and...
To The Eagle: In the December 9, 2010 issue of The Eagle, Mr. Gordon had a letter with several questions for the Cathlamet Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services staff. Question 1 concerned being insulted by a referenced document from 1932. Why should anyone be insulted by the age of a document? Our U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 and serves us well today with no one worried about its age. The remaining questions refer to individuals in the Fire Department that he feels wronged him on a civil matter. His letter...

Sunday certainly brought an interesting storm to our area. The Grays River was over its banks and in the fields within a few minutes that afternoon. We drove to Rosburg at about 3 p.m. and in the time it took us to get back home the water was about four inches deep over our driveway coming in. Of course, Lake Fred (our pasture during fair weather and duck pond during storms), was already up by then and the creek was more than full. Such an exciting place to live, but you know, I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else. On Monday, our last two w...
