On West 7th St. near the boat ramp sits a large, beige building, unassuming from the outside, but a bustling heartbeat of the community inside. Long referred to as the Rainier Senior Center, the building itself was recently renamed the Rainier Riverfront Center, in part to attract a wider audience and expand the usage of the space beyond senior programming and into a community center in the off-hours "It is for seniors but it includes everybody," said Rainier Senior Center Executive Director Jan Rich. "We have grandkids here, we have...

While Jeremy was working his way up the corporate ladder at the beginning of his career at Costco in Las Vegas, Nev.,...
Columbia County residents have until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20 to vote on Measure 5-304 regarding the renewal of the Columbia County Jail levy. Lobbying for a “yes” vote on the measure, Columbia County Sheriff Brian Pixley said, “What it comes down to - the nuts and bolts - is my budget is $9.5 million for the jail. Out of that, we get $1 million from the County General Funds. This year, we’re slated to get about $3.9 through the US Marshals, and then we get about $3.9 million from the levy. Without the levy renewal, I’m going to have a $3...
If you have ever spotted those massive leafy greens unfurling like umbrellas over crimson stalks in a backyard garden, you have likely seen rhubarb. In Washington State, rhubarb is not just a springtime staple; it's a legacy crop with roots that stretch back generations, thriving in the cool, moist climate that makes our region one of the nation's top producers. According to the article Farm Facts, Washington State leads the nation in rhubarb production, accounting for nearly 90% of the U.S. commercial rhubarb crop. Most of that is grown in...
One self-service library, high school, and grocery store serve the 519 people of Naselle, Washington. The piles of felled logs along the roadsides dwarf the passing cars, signaling to drivers that this town was built on logging. Many Naselle residents have family roots in the forestry sector, allowing them to be intimately familiar with its demands. They also do not often push back on timber harvests that pose no threat to endangered species or their habitats. But an upcoming harvest will fell trees surrounding one of two creeks that supply...
The Wonders of Garage Sale Gear I know it's early, but in honor of that most monumental event, the annual Puget Island Garage (and) Yard Sale, or PIGYS, which will be held June 27 – 29 and, owing to the fact it is indeed and has been for some time, garage sale season, I write this week on the finer points of what I call 'garage sale etiquette.' But garage sales and the outdoors? Garage sales can be great places to find outdoor gear at ridiculously low prices; however, not every $2 sleeping b...

Just like that, the regular season for 1B baseball has come to a close. While it might feel like the spring season has flown by, the biggest games are still to come, and both Naselle and Wahkiakum's baseball programs have a swing at qualifying for the state championships this month. While Naselle has enjoyed resurgent form after a slow start, Wahkiakum's season has been something of the inverse. After starting hot, the Mules have ended the regular season on a cold spell. The following provides...
