Lady Seagulls win league title

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Raymond captured the Pacific League volleyball championship under firstyear head coach Julie Jew ell with a three-game sweep of North Beach on the road last Thursday night. The Lady Seagulls won 25-11, 25-16, 25-18 to remain un defeated in league play.

“This win secured our spot as league champions,” Jewell told the Herald “We played well. Our com munication was great and we had good energy, both things we emphasized the last couple of weeks.

“We were led by Alia Enlow’s 12 kills, Karsyn Freeman’s six kills, and Ava Baugher’s six kills,” Jewell noted. “Kyndal Ko ski had 27 digs, 100-percent serving and two aces. Kass ie Koski and Caton Swog ger had three aces.”

Raymond also was vic torious in the junior varsity match in two games, 25-6, 25-21.

Lady Gulls 3, Forks 2

Raymond won a thrilling come-from-behind five-set match against Forks to put the Lady Seagulls on the brink of winning the Pacific League volleyball champi onship on Senior Night at Seagull gym last Tuesday (Oct. 18). Raymond won 25-23, 20-25, 22-25, 25-21 and 15-8.

“We showed a lot of fight in this match, com

ing back from two games down to win,” Coach Jew ell told the Herald. “We battled back and forth in every set. In the fourth set, we talked about going out aggressively and getting the serve right away. We wanted to be in a situation where they were making more mistakes. In game 4, we started making fewer unforced errors while still attacking every chance we got.”

Freeman fired in 24 kills and made 35 digs. Alia Enlow scored 11 kills and put in “a great defensive game,” according to Jew ell. Megan Kongbouakhay handed off 41 assists and served 100 percent. Kyndal Koski came through with 36 digs and 100-percent serving, and Kassie Koski fired in 4 aces and scored 6 blocks.

Raymond, 13-2 on the season and 11-0 in the Pa

cific League, played a nonleague match at Hoquiam Monday, and closes out the regular season at arch rival South Bend tonight.

The 16-team District 4 tournament opens Saturday. Raymond, the No. 1 seed in the Pacific League, will play the winner of the playin match between Central No. 10 and Pacific No.

Titans celebrate homecoming after Forks forfeits

By GEORGE KUNKE geoakunke@gmail.com

MENLO – The game might have been canceled because Forks didn't show up and instead took a 2-0 forfeit loss to the Pe Ell-Willapa Valley Titans, but homecoming lived on for the Willapa Valley HS Vikings at Crogstad Field Friday night. Ali Andrews was the queen, and Derek Fluke was the king.

“I'm really proud of our little community,” PWV Assistant Football Coach John Peterson told the Herald. “Moms fixed a team dinner at 5:00, we had the parade of floats and the homecoming festivities were really cool.

“It was pouring down rain, and it was packed,” Peterson said. “Hats off to our community. This speaks very highly of our school district, of our par ents, grandparents, the whole community, and most importantly, our kids.

“We are blessed with great kids,” Peterson added. “We are so fortunate to have the kids we have.”

Forks canceled for the football game Friday after noon, and has also canceled this week's game with top-ranked Napavine.

Meanwhile, PWV is trying to schedule a game for this week after Rainier was forced to pull out of Thursday night's game because of a lack of players.

The Titans (5-3) finished second in the league and in all likelihood will play Kalama (2-5) at home (Nov. 3, 4, or 5) if the field is not too muddy from all the expected rain. Otherwise, it could be played at South Bend's Millam Field.

Coach Fluke receives Seahawk honor

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Pe Ell-Willapa Valley Head Football Coach Josh Fluke was selected as a Seahawk Coach of the Week after the 28-14 victory over Raymond-South Bend on September 15, according to PWV Assistant Football Coach John Peterson. The Ravens were third-ranked and undefeated at the time.

Vikings come back to defeat Three Rivers

By GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Willapa Valley whizzed past Three Rivers Christian School in the last three games to notch a win, 1825, 25-11, 25-13, 25-16 last Monday (Oct. 17) at Longview in a Columbia Valley 1B League match up.

“We struggled to find our flow with the serve-receive, but once we did, we made a huge comeback,” WVHS Head Volleyball Coach Karisa Makaiei Hodel told the Herald. “The next three sets, we found our intensity with the help of our JV cheering us on and compet ing with the rough Three Rivers Christian fans. We were able to stay up and not get down to win them.”

Leading the Vikings were Lauryn McGough (10 kills, 7 aces, 6 digs), Ella Petit (7 kills, 6 aces), Grace Huber (11 blocks, 7 digs), Gabriela Quezada (7 blocks), Sam Sheary (12 assists) and Lauren Matlock (6 assists).

Comettes 3, WVHS 0 Naselle visited WVHS on Senior Night and came away with a 25-15, 25-20,

25-19 victory Thursday night.

“We did a lot better on our defense; it is coming along, but we struggled tonight – especially in the first (game) with our servereceive,” Makaiwi Hodel said. “We couldn't get a pass up to our setters, so we could attack accord ingly. We did put up some great blocks and had some really good kills, but we just couldn't pull ahead to get a win. There was great all-around play and effort by the whole team, but it just wasn't our night in the end.”

Unfortunately, statistics were not available. “I can't give you stats, 'cause they are not even remotely ac curate,” Makaiwi Hodel said.

The Vikings, 9-5 overall, hosted Three Rivers Chris tian Tuesday in a makeup match from Sept. 22, and then closed out the regular season Thursday at Mossy rock. The WVHS junior varsity team was scheduled to visit Washington School for Deaf in Vancouver last night.

He made a couple position switches to help our team, and boy, he’s helped us. He intercepted a ball and ran it back 25 yards (vs R-SB). He’s a good player and he’s a good guy and I feel very fortunate to have him on our team.”

According to Peterson, two coaches are selected by the WSCA, in conjunction with the Seattle Seahawks, as weekly coaches from around the state. Fluke will be honored with a group of coaches from around the state at a Seahawk game later this season.

Napavine crushes Ravens; MWP up Thursday

BY GEORGE KUNKE, geoakunke@gmail.com

Number ranked (SBLive) Napavine exploded past Raymond-South Bend in all phases of the game dur ing a 54-0 throttling of the Ravens Friday night on the Tigers' home territory. The victory clinched the SWW 2B Football North Division title for NHS, which has recorded five shutouts this season.

“There weren't too many positives to take away from this game,” RSB Assistant football Coach Mike Tully admitted to the Herald

“We did play better in the second half, and we were able to play hard until the end.

“Napavine is a very good team,” Tully added.

“They're by far the best team we've seen this year. They're tough and physical up front, and they have a ton of speed on the outside. Add in the fact that they are one of the best-coached teams around, and it's a tough combination to beat. They're definitely a state title contender, and they played like it on Friday.”

The Ravens, losers of two straight, but 6-2 on the season, take on Morton-

White Pass Thursday night (7:00 p.m.) at Milam Field in South Bend. The Timber wolves, also 6-2, ripped the very young Ilwaco Fisher men (0-8) 42-zip last week.

The T-Wolves ground out 459 yards rushing with junior Brecken Pelletier ac counting for 204 yards and senior Carter Dantinne add ing 155. Dantinne (7.8 ypc) has rushed for 910 yards and 13 TDs this season.

“Morton-White Pass is a tough, hard-hitting team,” Tully said. “They have a good running back in Carter Dantinne and a good receiver in Hunter Hazen. They mix it up quite a bit on offense, going from spread to wishbone and everything in between.”

Pelletier is an excellent linebacker with 102 tackles or 12.8 per game.

“Defensively, they typi cally stick with a 4-4 look,” Tully added. “We'll need to play good, mistake-free football to come away with a win.”

Both RSB and MWP are 3-2 in the Central 2B North standings, so this is a key contest for crossover game seedings. Both teams have lost to Pe Ell-Willapa Val ley and Napavine.

Razor clam digs continue through Sunday

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers confirmed several razor clam digging opportunities at Twin Harbors, Long Beach, and Copalis beaches through Sunday.

“Digging should continue to be great on the open beaches,” said Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager. “Most of the 26,000 harvesters who went out during the recent opener found easy digging, and if the weather cooperates, we’re expecting more of the same.”

The following digs during evening (p.m.) low tides will proceed as scheduled, after marine toxin results from the Washington Department of Health (DOH) showed razor clams are safe to eat: Oct. 26, Wednesday, 8:05 p.m.; -1.0 feet; Long• Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis Oct. 27, Thursday, 8:48 p.m.; -1.1 feet; Long• Beach, Twin Harbors Oct. 28, Friday, 9:35 p.m.; -1.0 feet; Long• Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis Oct. 29, Saturday, 10:28 p.m.; -0.7 feet; Long• Beach, Twin Harbors Oct. 30, Sunday, 11:27 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Long• Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis

The latest marine toxin levels at Mocrocks beaches were below the health guideline level. However, DOH requires two test samples taken 10 days apart, and must fall under the health guideline level before a beach can reopen for razor clam digging.

WDFW conducted summer assessments showing a strong razor clam population except at Kalaloch, which is closed for 2022-2023 season. More tenta tive dates are planned on Nov. 6-13 and Nov. 22-28 (including the Thanksgiving holiday), and during December. Final approval is usually announced about one week prior to each digging series.

Not all beaches are open for every dig, so diggers are encouraged to make sure their intended destina tion is open before heading out. The most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before the listed time of low tide.

Digging is prohibited in the razor clam reserves, which are marked by 10-foot poles with signs. The reserves are located just south of the Ocean City ap proach on Copalis; and 2.8 miles north of the Oyster ville approach on Long Beach.

For more information on future tentative digs, go to the WDFW's razor clam webpage. The updated 2022-23 Razor Clam Management Plan is available on the WDFW’s website.

Continued from page 1 their families, like private health care decisions.

“We need to pass my bill to protect the right for women to make their own health care decisions immediately. Equally important, we need to protect voting rights and put an end to partisan gerrymandering in this country.

“As a former preschool teacher, a mom and grandma, and someone who got her start in politics advocating for my own kids’ preschool, I am really passionate about making child care affordable for every parent, and I have a plan I’m working to pass that would get it done.

“I helped pass legislation this year to cap prescription drug costs for seniors at $2,000 a year and cap the cost of insulin to $35/month for people on Medicare, but there’s a lot more I’m fighting to get done to lower the cost of prescription drugs and health care.”

When asked, “Why should voters of Pacific County cast their vote for you?” Murray answered, “I’m work ing hard to lower costs for workers and families in Pa cific County and create good-paying jobs. The American Rescue Plan helped us regain all the jobs we lost during the pandemic, and is helping more Washingtonians find affordable housing across our state.

“We’re rebuilding our infrastructure, boosting supply chains, and making things in America again with the CHIPS and Science Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped negotiate. The Infrastructure Law included historic funding to make high-speed internet across Pa cific County a reality, and it doubled our investment in port infrastructure, with $2.2 billion for Washington ports, which will help expand access to markets for farmers and growers. And I’m always looking for ways to support lo cal priorities, like by securing $1.67 million for the City of Long Beach to repair its wastewater treatment system.

“We’ve taken important steps to lower prescription drug costs, health care costs, and energy bills with the Inflation Reduction Act. My opponent opposed all of that bill and wants to extend the Trump tax giveaways for bil lionaires and corporations that blew up the deficit.

“I’ve also passed a lot of other important legislation that doesn’t make the news but will really help people, like my bipartisan bill to ban surprise medical bills, which got signed into law under the Trump Administration. I’ll work with anyone to make progress for our state.”

Honoring Gene Bolstad

To the Editor,

"It is that time of year again when our local vet erans group presents an award to an outstanding law enforcement officer in Pacific or Wahkiakum County. As you may know the award is in honor of Washington State Patrol Trooper Gene Bolstad who died on duty 64 years ago trying to rescue a teenager caught in a strong rip cur rent in the surf at Long Beach.

The purpose is to rec ognize exemplary perfor mance by individual offi cers identified by the gen eral public or by their peers or supervisors. Eligibility is for any current (or former) law enforcement officer who has demonstrated ex emplary performance and initiative, and/or excellence in personal interaction with

the public. Nominations are gladly accepted from pri vate citizens. Nominations of just a short paragraph or so should be submitted to Gene Strong at gene@ wwest.net or to Mike Al len at mcallen99@charter. net. Please let us know. We believe it is critical to honor those that serve the public. This message has been sent to other de partments throughout the county. After reviewing all nominations the final selection will be made by our organization as soon as possible.

We hope to present the award on 12 November at the Astoria Country Club, during the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. If your nom inee is selected it would be our pleasure to pay for the dinner of the honoree and members of his immediate family as well as for you and your guest."

continued from page 1 continued. “The Nightmare Before Christmas themed event seemed to be a great fit. Holiday shoppers seem to be shopping earlier and earlier in the season and with high inflation, the early shopping makes more sense to the pocketbook by spreading out the buying over a longer period of time. A pumpkin patch in front of the chamber trailer will greet guests as they arrive. The pumpkins are free while supplies last, however donations are appreci ated. Face painting will be another fun addition for the kids and adults alike.”

The local vendors will offer gifts, handmade art, food, and fresh cranberries. “We hope to have at least 10 ven dors,” she said. “As of today (October 6), there are five, however I'm talking to a number of folks that haven't registered yet. The $40 vendor fee for the weekend is reasonable, therefore I expect more will join at the last minute. The money from the vendor fees goes to the Cranberry Museum who is the host and will be supply ing the space, sanitation and accommodations. We are encouraging vendors to sign up right now using this link: https://forms.gle/3zUcGRhF7d5uzwKAA.

Willapa Players present Celestial Serendipity

Celeste has made her living by pre tending to channel Eebee, an alien who supposedly resides on another planet in a parallel universe.

Lately, Celeste has become jaded and weary of the ruse. She decides to prove to Penelope, her assistant, that she can tell her seekers anything and they will still believe. The bizarre readings set off a chain of events connecting several of her seekers and causing mass chaos.

Eventually, Celeste believes she has really channeled Eebee and Penelope calls in a “shrink.” Does Celeste come to realize the error of her ways? Do the chan

nelings come true and solve everyone’s dilemma through serendipity? You’ll have to come see for yourself at the Willapa Playhouse.

Written and directed by Russell Wiitala, Celestial Serendipity will be performed at the Willapa Playhouse in South Bend at 124 Spruce St. Playdates are November 4 and 5, then again on November 17 and 18 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on November 19 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at South Bend Pharmacy and Raymond Pharmacy, at the door, or online at https:// www.onthestage.tickets/show/willapaplayers-incorporated.
