Here we are, the final countdown to the end of 2010, and a new year dawning with hope for good health and good fortune coming with it. It has been an eventful year for many of us, but we have all made it through. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and that it was full of family, friends, good food and lots of fun. We headed south to Stockton, Calif. and apparently got the blame for bringing more rain to them. We had a wonderful time, spent lots of time with grandkids, kids and even some friends. The grandchildren made ornaments for next...
The Wahkiakum Mules picked up their fourth win of the season last Wednesday night with a 66-52 win on the road against KM rival Naselle. The victory pushed the Mules a game over .500 for the season and completed the season sweep over the Comets. Despite the team's near season-high 66 points, it was the team defense that Coach Bill Olsen praised after the game, remarking that, “The whole team tonight, at times, played some of the best ‘D’ of the year. It was also nice to see the team’s confidence level was still high following the Adna game....
NOT TOO BAD--Considering that we've spent the days leading up to Christmas where we were frozen solid, like last year, and like the year before, where we saw umpteen buildings collapse, including our fairground's arena, this year's Christmas weather was a piece of cake! Just some drizzle and clouds and a bit of a breeze now and then but for the most part, it was pretty doggone mild, with temperatures between 48 and 51. Of course, I heard we may get a slight bit of snow by the time this paper goes out but they say it's not supposed to be a lengt...

3 has been a great year! The Wahkiakum County Fair Board members have enjoyed working with the volunteers that show up when we need help on our projects. We appreciate our community faithfully attending our fund raising events and look forward to planning the 2011 Fair! We wish our friends and neighbors a “Happy New Year!” T-building project news: Wednesday afternoon the temperature climbed up to 55 degrees, which means interior paint will actually dry. I gathered up my family Jerry, Bryan and Valle, asked them if they would like to spe...
Wahkiakum County commissioners handled a variety of business Tuesday ranging from dealing with a department head's mistake to considering a new junior taxing district. Commissioners Blair Brady, Lisa Marsyla and Dan Cothren met with Prosecuting Attorney Dan Bigelow to discuss how to deal with a department head's mistake in giving employees time off. Public Works Director Pete Ringen informed the commission that he had misunderstood the board's decision on what holiday time employees would have before Christmas and gave employees in his departme...
As the merger of the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce and Lower Columbia Economic Development Council (EDC) approaches, one question that becomes clear is, "Who's in; who's out?" Leaders of the two organizations began considering a merger this fall. The EDC is losing much of the funding it receives through state economic development service contracts, and the groups thought their similar missions of promoting business, economic development and community activities could be combined into a streamlined organization able to operate in the new world o...

A small group of board members and volunteers are working to preserve a collection of photographs and eclectic artifacts at the Wahkiakum County Historical Society Museum in Cathlamet. The museum’s board of directors has spent reserves to keep the doors open, but only $1,100 remains, said Board President Judy Brawn, who estimates the annual budget to be over $3,600. Despite its serious financial challenge, the board is enthusiastic about the collection.Exhibits focus on local industry, including fishing and farming equipment, a logger’s bun...
I was very leery two months ago when I learned the Lower Columbia Economic Development Council and Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce were going to discuss a merger. I worried about whether or not the two groups' missions are compatible enough to form an organization that will be able to handle a variety of economic development projects while still doing the community activities and promotions that the Chamber conducts. Instead, I should have been worried about whether or not local government would continue to support county wide economic developmen...
