+We’re deep into fall now, and the rainy season has settled in for good. Recently, we were gifted a small orchard-in-the-making with two lemon trees, two kumquat trees, and an olive tree, and we’ve been scrambling to protect them before the first frost hits. Since they came from the comfort of a greenhouse, we needed to get them under cover. Last weekend turned into a full-on construction project by our shop. Using pallets, PVC pipe, and a healthy dose of redneck ingenuity, we cobbled together a temporary winter shelter. The plan is to dra...

First rattle out of the box, congratulations to the Wahkiakum high school boys football team for their overwhelming 78-38 victory against Moses Lake Christian last Friday. MLC came out of the blocks with the first TD within minutes of the game getting underway, putting at risk a friend's earlier prediction of a 60-6 Mules win; however, the Mules fought back, improvised, overcame, and never looked back. All in all, the boys played a tremendous game and, while I hesitate to name names, Stoddard,...
For the team's first 10 games, including its postseason opener, the Clatskanie Tigers varsity football team had never been on the losing side. The Tigers had trailed at a couple of points throughout the year but never when the fourth-quarter clock showed "all zeros." Playing on a neutral field against defending state champion St. Paul, Clatskanie matched the Buckaroos first-quarter touchdown with one of their own in the second. Sophomore quarterback Will Van Voorst connected with junior wide...

In our last article, we discussed the cell-phone ban in Oregon. There are definitely pros to this ban. However, in this article, we will be seeing some of the cons of the cell-phone ban. There is an article titled “Why I Support Banning Cell Phones in Schools.” The author, Anne Moss Rogers, said that she did not mean for students to "put their smartphones in their pockets on silent while they buzz incessantly, or even turned off." In her statement, she said that they are accessible and she is correct. However, my opinion from what I see [is tha...
Oregon’s Rainier High School football team started off the season stronger compared to last year, winning 28-14 against Riverside. As the weeks passed, Rainier began to struggle. The team came back to fight against Corbett and won. Not only did they win, but they broke a record. Now Rainier and Corbett hold the high school record for most points scored in a game in 2A, 9 man football. This record was the best one Rainier has set within the last three years. The team was extremely proud of their accomplishment and growth between the games. O...

Sabor Mixto & More closed its doors at the end of October after two years at the 108 E. B Street address in Rainier. The juice and deli cafe opened in May of 2023 and was active in the local community and a frequent vendor at festivals around the county. Despite their best efforts, the owners decided to close the business due to a lack of revenue. In conversation with the owners, it was relayed that although revenue was covering basic expenses, it wasn’t as profitable as they needed it to be to keep in operation. The owners relayed they have pl...
