  • Mule boys basketball now underway

    Diana Zimmerman|May 13, 2021

    Basketball season got off to a quick start for the Wahkiakum Mules boys, who have already played four games and are 2-2.

"We trailed 2-12 to start the game. I thought after falling behind we played tight and nervous on both ends in the first half, but we cut the deficit to two midway through the fourth...

    Diana Zimmerman|May 13, 2021

    Randall Ecklund discovered a passion for one science while studying another. While he enjoyed most of the subjects he studied in school, except perhaps for higher level math, Randall lit up when he started talking about one particular segment of his biology class, when they turned their focus to the chemistry of biology. “It was only about a month of chemistry, but it was always something to look forward to every day,” Randall said. “That class made me want to be a chemist for a while. I had h...

  • Meet Our Seniors: Nalani Schultz

    Diana Zimmerman|May 13, 2021

    When you love learning as much as Nalani Schultz does, picking a favorite teacher can be hard to do. "I really did love all of my teachers, but I especially enjoyed talking about philosophy and politics with Mr. Cox because it's always exciting and stimulating," Nalani said. "Mr. Stetzer is really funny and unconventional, so that is always fun, and he's kind of awkward. It's hilarious. I really appreciate him because he told me that he saw me being a physics teacher in a brick building and now...

    Diana Zimmerman|May 13, 2021

The sport of hunting never really took hold with Remington, whose friends sometimes call him Rem, or Remy. He does love engines, however. His dad is a logger and mechanic, and Remington has been helping him as much as possible since he was very young. “I loved to help,” Remington said. “Cars and trucks have been a lot of fun to me....
