Three candidates for the Town of Cathlamet council tackled questions from a small crowd at a forum held in the DeBriae Room last Thursday. Robert Stowe, who is running uncontested for Position 1, was unable to attend due to a prior family commitment. “None of us who are running had any input in determining whether or not we even wanted to be part of it, Stowe wrote of the forum in a statement to The Eagle. “I find it very disappointing that the statement of purpose is for the outgoing cou...
Not much went right for the Wahkiakum Mules in their 37-0 game last Friday at Toledo. Toledo dominated the line of scrimmage, piling up 307 yards rushing to the Mules' 22. Injury problems hurt the Mules.

Quarterback Gabe Moon, who moved from center to quarterback on October 11, was the Mules' leading runner with 14 yards gained. Leading defenders were Jerimyah Johnson with six...

I want to make this my home," Wainwright said. "I'm concerned about the lack of growth and management in the town. I see a lot of ineptitude at the council, in the mayor's position there is no direction, no growth. You have to say, even though you love it here, is this the way you want to see things go?...

To The Eagle: I googled, “What US city has the most city parks per capita?” Albion, Michigan, Population 8,700, has 17 public parks. This is approximately one park per 500 residents.

Cathlamet has six parks, Strong Park, Erickson Park, Waterfront Park, Julia Butler Hansen Swimming pool park, Queen Sally Park, and Butler Street Park. Cathlamet has 534 people...
To The Eagle: On October 22, 2016, The Pioneer Community Association sponsored the first “Tidy Up the Town” in recognition of National Make A Difference Day.

This coming October 26, 2019 marks the seventh time we have invited community members to join with us as we pull weeds, cut back bl...

Here's hoping you were able to get all your outdoor chores done on a couple of those nice, dry days that we had. THINKING OF THEM--There have been...
