I’m writing this column with a heavy heart as we lost a precious furry member of our family on Monday evening. Grym would have been 16 years old on the 27th, and our neighbors, Al and Nancy George lost Grym’s brother, Butch earlier this month. It’s amazing how much joy these pets bring to our lives and when they pass it’s as if it were a human member of your family. He gave us many years of pleasure and fun times, as well as two more generations of furry family. He will be missed. Well, the good news is:The frogs are singing every night a...

WHITE--We had a white Christmas in West Valley this past year, but that was only because it was foggy! Not just a little foggy, but it was super thick, white fog that greeted us that day and so that made it white. Then New Year's was white too, only this time it was due to a very heavy, thick frost that blanketed the area. Now as we enjoy the beginning of this week and the first Sunday of this new year 2016, we are seeing white once again, but this time, it's actually snow that is falling all around us and the roads, trees and grass are all...

I hope everyone stayed safe with this last burst of cold weather. I know the roads were pretty slick and a few trees made travel a little treacherous. Here’s hoping for a little reprieve with some sunshine. Welcome home to my Uncle David Hammonds.

My apologies to the readers for not entering a column last week. My husband spent five days in the hospital for what we had originally thought was pneumonia and it turned out to be more complicated than that. He is on the mend now and we are a little better educated on what some symptoms can indicate. A word of advice to those of you with health issues: Keep a journal of everyday actions and always take it with you to a doctor visit. It makes answering questions much more simple and accurate. Sometimes the simplest entries can indicate a...

Wahkiakum Mule senior Joey Moore spent so much time on the floor in last Thursday's game against Napavine that someone should give him an honorary floorboard if the court is ever replaced. Unfortunately, his bloody knees and assured bruises weren't enough to make up for the damage done by the Tiger's Wyatt Stanley. Stanley, a big physical player, put his head down and scored 29 of his 37 points in the second half, and the Tigers won 77-64. Ryan Quigley, who has turned out to be a consistent...

LESS INTENSE--As this work week begins, the weather is a little calmer than it has been, but then, it wouldn't take much considering last week was just totally wild! With flooded roads, a tornado in Battle Ground, local roads and highways closed from water or slides, plus major highways, like I-5 in Woodland closed due to a huge slide, and Hwy 12 closed indefinitely, plus many accidents that were water related, well, it was just a ridiculous, wild and crazy weather week. There were even sand bags used on Puget Island at some homes, so the...
It looks like this last storm has inconvenienced quite a few in our neck of the woods. I see that Covered Bridge Road has a pretty serious slide, with one lane collapsed and the other lane questionable near the Barr Road intersection and is closed. Also Shannon Road is closed due to a section of the road collapsing. Lots of other areas were seriously affected by the flooding and mud debris. We have about three inches of silt on our driveway after the 3 1/2 feet of water receded. Let’s hope this is about it, and we can have a calmer winter f...

The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team suffered loss after loss last week, but their game against Mossyrock on Saturday proved that if they focused on the little things, they could hold their own.
