For a few minutes on Monday, March 9, the Washington State Senate paused its usual pace of debate and votes to recognize something older than the state itself. The Senate passed Resolution 8690 honoring the Chinook Indian Nation and acknowledging the Nation's history and continuing presence along the Lower Columbia River and the Pacific Coast of Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon. In the chamber to hear it were Chinook Chair Tony "Naschio" Johnson, Vice Chairman Sam Robinson,...
An investment company co-founded by a 21st -century German prince is joining other timber industry goliaths in gobbling up and shutting down access to hunting land in Wahkiakum and Pacific counties. The change comes as Pacific Northwest timberland values are rising, making the region attractive to European investors who value the cheap, privately owned land — unlike in much of Europe. In 2024 alone, companies affiliated with Constantin Prinz zu Salm-Salm (AKA Prince Constantin) spent more than $100 million on roughly 12,000 acres of t...
I recently interviewed Cathlamet resident Kermit Chamberlain for our 55th installment of Reader's Fave, a casual interview with someone who shares their favorite book. Kermit, with a library shelf filled with C.J. Box books said, "It was probably years ago I was listening to NPR and they had a weekly show where they talked about books and C.J. Box was mentioned. I've read every book he's written. He's a great writer. I love his stuff, especially the 'Joe Pickett' series, but I intended to talk...
During its meeting Thursday, March 12, Longview City Council approved Ordinance 3572. The ordinance addresses the city’s sewer pretreatment policy, which regulates how waste water is removed from businesses within the city. Because they rarely produce harmful wastewater, retail stores were removed from the list of regulated sources. Council members noted adopting this policy helps the city remain compliant with state requirements and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ordinance 3573 and Resolution No. 2608, focusing on ambulance t...

To The Eagle, When I first started work with the Town of Cathlamet in 1974, the Town had been fluoridating for about 10 years. At the time, I was a bit of a fluoride skeptic. One day, I asked my dentist in Longview what he thought about fluoridation. He replied that he could look in the mouth of a twelve year old and tell which city they lived in. Longview had been fluoridating for about 12 years, and Kelso was not. Then there is Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta; both were fluoridating. For various reasons in 2011, Calgary stopped and, 10 years...
To The Eagle, As the head golf coach at Wahkiakum High School, I’m proud to share that our golfers are back on the course this month and ready for another exciting season. Our program has seen tremendous success in recent years, including three consecutive district championships for the girls team, two team state titles, and the 2025 individual state champion. Our boys program also celebrated the 2025 individual district champion. None of this success happens without the incredible support of our community. Year after year, local supporters hav...
My friends, I stand corrected. It was brought to my attention recently that Daylight Savings Time (DST) does not take a 24-hour day and magically transform it into a 25-hour day. No, sir. It does require most of us, if we want to hang with the "cool kids," to move our clocks ahead an hour and, as you know, move them back an hour in the fall. A gentleman by the name of Jerry kindly explained the error of my ways with the following illustration: if you cut the head off a 38-inch/22-pound chinook...
