Joey Moore caught a 5-yard pass from Gunnar Blix as time expired to give the Wahkiakum Mules an 18-13 win over the visiting Mossyrock Vikings. The Mules battled adversity all game as steady rain made ball handling treacherous. Mossyrock scored at 5:33 of the first quarter after getting a Mule fumble at the Mules' 20-yard line. The conversion kick gave the Vikings a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, the scene repeated as the Mules fumbled away at their own 20 and the Vikings scored at 4:44. The...

It’s time to start gearing up for the wintery weather. Looks like we are in for some wet and windy days ahead. Though we had a beautiful summer and a rather warm early fall, now the leaves are changing and the mornings are much cooler, not to mention the daylight hours are dwindling. I do love fall, and the changing colors.

Before Columbia Land Trust came on the scene, life on Kandoll Road was quiet, serene and full of nature sounds for the local human inhabitants. Then, along came big money and ideas that would put fish and their habitat before people and their homes and property. In this case, Columbia Land Trust acquired lots of grant money to install two 13-foot diameter culverts under Kandoll Road which allowed flood waters from the Grays River to flow into Seal Slough. These high water events flooded neighboring properties and eroded private dikes on Seal...

WARM STREAK--How did you like this past weekend? Pretty nice wasn't it?! Considering several things were going on in the area, it was great to have such nice weather for them, even though the late evening hours were a little nippy, the daylight hours were plenty toasty. By the time you read this, we may have seen some showers but it wasn't clear on how long they would last but I know one thing, a few days of some light, yet soaking rains, would certainly help with our fire danger, as this past week has seen mulitple fires in many areas of WA...

“Näkymätön Elina” means “invisible Elina.” It is the story of a nine year old girl who has lost her father a few years earlier to tuberculosis and has been out of school after contracting the same disease herself. The family lives in northern Sweden, but they speak Finnish at home. The time period is the 1950s. When Elina returns to school, she stands up for herself against the strict Ms. Holm who expects all her pupils to speak perfect Swedish. She does not allow any Finnish to be spoken in her classroom. When Elina tries to help another Fi...
