Wahkiakum County commissioners heard complaints from citizens and took care of several business items when they met Tuesday. An unidentified woman told the board that the county health department sent a letter declaring a trailer on her property a health risk and asking her to enter into an agreement to clean it up. The trailer, she said, is not a flat bed trailer as cited, but it is a dump trailer with sides and containing cardboard and similar debris that will be hauled to a dump. "I feel the health department is targeting me," she said. Anot...
During the last half hour of the October Wahkiakum School District Board of Directors meeting, the directors discussed the district’s lawsuit against the State of Washington and strategized strengthening support for it, including financially, at a coming Washington State School Director’s Association conference in November. Wahkiakum’s lawsuit against the State of Washington claims that the state is failing to meet the standard set by the constitution when it excludes facilities from Artic...
At the Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, a budget hearing opened and closed without public comment, and the board heard about long range planning, matters affecting PUDs throughout the state, and work here in the county. General Manager Dan Kay said that PUD employees sat down together recently to identify projects appropriate for a five year capital plan. “We’re trying a collaborative approach instead of top down,” he said. Auditor Erin Wilson said it was a good...
To The Eagle: A contributor helpfully illustrated last week how Republicans distort issues to inflame conservative voters. Take a look behind his insinuations about: “Ongoing deterioration of our military?” Our professional armed forces are second to none. He thinks training soldiers to fight both enemies in the field and racial and gender discrimination within their own ranks, causes martial weakness. It doesn’t. It promotes moral strength. “Erasure of our national borders?” Factually, more immigrants enter the U.S. legally than not. That...
To The Eagle: A front page headline was shown recently in The Eagle “Jan 6 panel subpoenas Trump, shows startling new video.” I haven’t seen it but can only guess what startling new video they came up with and edited it for their narrative. Trump and many of his closest allies that the Jan 6 Committee subpoenaed would have appeared before them but they will not behind closed doors. They will with doors wide open and with all the TV stations there ABC, OAN, CNN, NBC, Newsmax, CBS for the simple reason because when filming live they cannot edit....
A couple months ago, I caught up with Robert Jungers to hear how supply chain issues were affecting his business, Elochoman Millwork, from lumber and glass, to parts, to personnel. “People talk about these issues we’re faced with right now as if they are stand alone issues. Supply chain difficulties, labor difficulties, inflation. In a lot of people’s minds they are separate issues, I think,” Jungers said, “they are all interrelated and for the most part, they all have negative outcomes...

WET ONE--As this week begins, it’s pretty doggone soggy out, which means that those who went trick or treating may have needed boots and umbrellas to go with their costumes, so that’s a bummer. Actually this whole week looks wet but there’s always that slight chance that a “window of dryness” will open now and then on those 60 percent chance of rain days, so we’ll hope that happens more and it rains even less! OFF AND ON--I’m typing this up early while I still have a phone line and I still have internet as it seems I’m among the many folks who...

Retirement move from Virginia to Deep River Victor and Wendy Liguori made a major move when they both retired from good jobs in Virginia, she as a medical assistant and Victor in medical security. Knowing they wanted to move, they looked through the real estate offerings on Zoom. They saw a property in Deep River, Washington, that appealed to them, so they checked on it and thinking it might be just what they were looking for: property on a river with fishing; a good climate for a garden; and as...
