Columbia River basin salmon and steelhead, which are from the same species, but of differing stocks, enter the river’s estuary and the ocean at different times and at different sizes, a variation that contributes to the resilience of the fish. Because these fish begin to grow rapidly when entering the ocean, the timing differences between early-arriving fish and those fish that arrive later give the early migrating fish a growth advantage, according to a recent study. That timing advantage allows early-migrating fish to reach larger sizes s...

The early phase of recreational spring chinook season on the lower Columbia River ended April 8, one day earlier than the Saturday deadline set in January by the two-state Columbia River Compact. The Compact agreed at its hearing April 7 to close the fishery based on projections that the catch of upriver chinook salmon will reach the initial 7,515-fish harvest guideline a day ahead of schedule. The closure also applies to steelhead and shad in the 145 mile stretch of river from Buoy 10 at the river’s mouth to Bonneville Dam to protect the m...

The young Wahkiakum Mule golf team shot 192 to up their intra-conference head to head record to 14-5, led by Junior Sarah Shi's medalist round of 43.

Also posting scores for the Mules were eighth graders Tyler St....
GORGEOUS--Wow, have we had some great weather or what? I know we had some rain come down later in the day on Sunday and some on Monday, but prior to that and even after that, it was great! With temperatures due to reach up into the high 70s, and maybe even 80 by the time you read this, we'll be thinking it's more like summer than spring. Once again, we are enjoying wonderful weather while back in the northeast, they've been dealing with snow and wind and record cold, so we really feel for all those adversely affected in those areas; some of whi...

April is a busy month at the Community Garden. We have been pulling the overwintered weeds, cleaning pathways, rototilling the plots, filling raised beds with new soil, liming the plots, and generally sprucing up the whole garden.

The water is turned on so we can clean our tools and water new starts in the hoop house. Planting the early crops has begun...

HALF NICE--Easter weekend may not have been completely nice, but most of Saturday was, so the Lions Club Easter Egg hunt didn't happen in the pouring down rain. Actually, it didn't start getting wet until evening time here, so it was a pretty good day, and with so many events taking place, it was great to not have to wear boots and slosh around through the puddles. Easter Sunday saw some sunshine too, but it was quickly wiped out by heavy rains and hail, at least here in West Valley, so it was one of those mixed up days! The upcoming weather...
