To The Eagle, In looking at the upcoming election for Wahkiakum County Sheriff, I feel that Sheriff John Mason is the overwhelming best choice. Having watched him since taking over the position he has displayed good judgements in his decisions and as well, a very high degree of maturity in his approach to the job. The job of Sheriff requires patience, integrity, leadership, communication skills, along with adaptability and problem-solving skills. A Sheriff has to also be able to make sound judgement calls, many times under extreme and...
To The Eagle, In last week’s Eagle, Kathy Briggs raised good questions about the two Town measures on the November 4 ballot. Here’s what is outlined in public information from the Town of Cathlamet and Wahkiakum PUD. On the levy: If Proposition 1 passes, the Town’s property tax rate would increase to $2.00 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2026. That new rate becomes the base for future years, and under state law (RCW 84.55) it can rise only about one percent per year unless voters approve another lid lift. The Town cannot raise it freely each...
To The Eagle, Commissioner Upthegrove was elected on a promise to permanently protect 77,000 acres of Legacy Forest. Yet his day-one action was only a temporary pause, not a true moratorium. Last month, when he held a press conference to announce “permanent protection” of those 77,000 acres, the map told a different story. It was riddled with mistakes — protecting only part of the promised acreage while putting 29,000 acres, including some of the most ecologically valuable forests, back on the auction block for logging. This is a broken promi...

WET AND WILD. Well, I guess you know, this past Saturday and Saturday night was pretty doggone exciting as the winds were howling and the rain was falling so hard that one couldn't even see if you were out driving in it, so it was pretty crazy out there. There were power outages due to falling trees and of course, the tree debris was everywhere, so the safest place to be was at home I think. Of course, those of us with a lot of trees were holding our breath as we love them but not when they fall on our houses or garages...ha! I'm thankful that...

Apparently, at some point when I wasn’t paying attention, the wet season began. It’s raining as I write this on Sunday, Oct. 26. It was raining yesterday and the day before. Both of Julie’s 55-gallon rain barrels that hold the water running off the roof of the greenhouse are now overflowing. Local deer hunters - those trying to fill tags during this final weekend of modern rifle season - have been damp for a couple of days now. Puget Island has been surprisingly quiet. Still, it’s a transitional time of year for Mother Nature and her minions...
