When my family moved to Cathlamet in the early 80’s I was in the midst of a growth spurt that wouldn’t end until my junior year at Wahkiakum High School. Tall and lean, I felt a certain expectation to join my peers on the basketball court. Learning to dribble became the third objective in my juggle to walk and chew gum. All arms and legs, it was a good day when I didn’t walk into a door or trip over my own big feet. And on that court from seventh grade till graduation, Shelley Merri...

Of course, as of this writing and in spite of all the rain, we've got no reason to complain considering what folks...
