Last week, students at J.A. Wendt Elementary selected books for the last time through the RIF (Reading is Fundamental) program. RIF, which started in 1968, has provided free books to students in hopes of encouraging literacy and a passion for reading. Federal funding for the program was cut in 2011. The Wahkiakum RIF program was part of the Cowlitz chapter, which is ending due to a lack of funding, according to Robin Westphall. Westphall, who is a member of the Wahkiakum School District school...
Natthanon Sakworawich is from Bangkok, Thailand. He is 16, a sophomore, and one of three exchange students attending Wahkiakum High School this year. He goes by "Earth," a nickname his mother gave him when he was young. She was looking for a name that would complement his sister's nickname, "First," for first born. According to the World Population Review there are 2.28 million people living in Bangkok, so Cathlamet must have been a shock to this young man's system. It's a little different that...

NASTY START--This past weekend began with a miserable start, as it rained and then blew some, and rained again. Luckily, we had a real nice break on Sunday, and it was terrific to see the sun shining, the river glistening, and out here in West Valley, we even had some eagles flying around. Unfortunately, the rains returned all too soon and were to last all week, so I can hardly wait for our next sunny day, or preferably, days! IN OUR THOUGHTS--Former resident, Brittney Robbins Haddix is living in New York now and it's been bitter cold in her...

There are three factors that make the Cathlamet St. Patrick's Day parade unique. First is that it is always held on the real St Patrick's Day, instead of some convenient nearby weekend. Second, it is a sidewalk parade rather than a street parade, and, third, there are usually many more Irish wolfhounds than in either Portland or Seattle's parade. This year the parade group will muster on Friday (tomorrow) at noon on the sidewalk across the street from Bank of the Pacific. The parade will amble...
The last time Travis Bain set foot on the floor at the State B Tournament at the Spokane Arena was as a Wahkiakum High School senior and Mule in the 2007 championship game against Northwest Christian. This past weekend, exactly 10 years later, was the first time he stepped on the floor as a referee. "It was the anniversary of our loss to Northwest Christian," Bain said, "and a little bittersweet and ironic to be back there." After graduating from high school in 2007, Bain attended Central...
