Tsuga Gallery is honoring member Mike Rees, who passed away on December 13 in Seattle after a fall. The Cathlamet gallery is hosting a display of his photographs in their windows until the end of February. Rees was born in 1933, and grew up in London, England. He began his journey as an artist when he and a friend turned a shed behind their house into a dark room to process the black and white photos they had taken. In the early 1950's, an image that Rees had taken was accepted for a national...
Hannah Musick wants to be a doctor. "That's the path," she said with certainty. She got hooked on the idea of medicine in eighth grade, and her passion for the notion has only grown. "Now I'm too stubborn to let it go," she said. Things come pretty easy to Hannah, and so she looks for academic challenges. After earning straight A's her sophomore year, she decided she needed more rigor, and signed up for Running Start, to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an Associates Degree from...
Kaden Anderson is in business. He started his first lemonade stand in elementary school, and has been growing the profits from that venture ever since. It turns out that while his classmates were reading Harry Potter, he'd picked up a book on trading stocks. "I've always loved business and learning about it," Kaden said. "I love the idea of investing. I love seeing growth compound. There really is a correspondence between risk and return, so the more you put up, the more you can make, but a lot...
Kaleo Silva is headed to Washington State University in the fall to study mechanical engineering. “I think the thing that made me want to do engineering was taking physics last year,” he said. “I enjoy math, but when you get to higher level maths like calculus, you are considering hypothetical situations, but physics has real world applications.” It was those real world applications that drew him to engineering, but it was a panel of engineers working in the different specialties who spoke t...
ALL PREPARED?--If weather apps are to be believed, by the time you read this, you may be playing in some "white stuff" as snow was to begin falling on Wednesday, and continue for several days with nighttime temperatures in the teens. We all know that I have to write this early in the week, and we all know that a forecast can fall apart from one hour to the next, but just in case this one happens to be true, I certainly hope you've gotten stocked up and made all the preparations necessary for yourselves, as well as your outdoor animals, just in...

By Diana Zimmerman Rebekah "Bekah" Neves travels to Florida every year to spend a few weeks with her father. It was there that she found a vocation that will likely serve her the rest of her life. "Every time I go there, he's working on someone's house," Bekah said. "I helped him and I fell in love with it. It's really relaxing." She's been learning how to use various tools, and has picked up a few skills along the way, helping to cement floors, cut cedar for ceilings, put in tiles, install...
Mackenzie Lawlor's world is wide open. The future is a mystery to this young woman, but she is up for the ride. The only certainty is a plan to take a gap year after she graduates, just to work, and "learn how the world is." After that, she might attend Lower Columbia College and study psychology. "I'll have to see where the world takes me," Mackenzie said. Kyle Hurley is her favorite teacher at Wahkiakum High School. The day starts with him in leadership class, where she and her classmates...
The southern accent is largely undetectable, but as Jerzie Coleman became more animated, the y'alls started flying. It was fun to hear, as were some of the descriptions of the cuisine she's been missing. "The food here," she said. "I don't know how y'all survive. I'm sorry, but it's really bland. What's the key thing over here? Game and fish? Hunting is really big down in the south too, but stuff would have flavor. It would have some kick to it. It was so good, but it was really bad for...
SOGGY--As this week begins, it's definitely a cloudy, drippy and dreary day, which might be the forecast for most of the week, while the weekend is looking a little nicer, but then, we all know how these forecasts can change on a dime. One can hope the drier but chillier forecast materializes, as I think some sunshine about now would do us all some good. However, considering that the Midwest and the East coast were getting hammered with a huge amount of snow and wind that has even shut down part of New York City, I won't complain too much...
