After being awarded a grant from the Community Economic Revitalization Board, the Wahkiakum County PUD hired a team from Noanet to conduct a broadband feasibility study, the objective to bring high speed fiber optic line to every resident on the east side of the county. On Monday, Chris Walker and Nick Uhlrich from Noanet presented their findings from the second phase of the study to the PUD and a few members of the Broadband Action Committee. About a month ago, Uhlrich and another colleague...
To The Eagle: I have observed that money owed and not repaid and obligations and/or agreements not honored all tend to destroy or lessen relationships and harm the one not fulfilling what they agreed to. How does this happen? When a person places the value of money or goods over their given word, they are then less willing to communicate to the person who is the victim of their short-coming. The truth often gets distorted and in general relationships deteriorate and often end completely. Why am I bothering to write this? Because of a recent...
LOOKING SOGGY--We may have slipped into some Fall like weather a bit early, as our week began cooler and wetter this past Sunday, with a couple of really good "gutter testers," as I call them. It looks like more of that kind of weather may be happening this week, so it's definitely time to drag out the water-proof jackets, boots and umbrellas. The big story this past Saturday was the huge lightning show up North of us, which even caused a huge, hours long, delay of a Husky game and even the evacuation of the crowd from the stands. I heard...

The Wahkiakum Mule football team opened the 2019 season with a 54-21 loss to the Colfax Bulldogs last Friday. The game was part of a double header featuring the Napavine Tigers and Liberty Lancers. The teams met last year at the Mule Stadium in Cathlamet. And what a difference a year makes. Only two of the Mules had played in last year's victory over Colfax. The Mules have just two seniors, and most of last year's mainstays on the line and in the backfield are gone. The host Bulldogs piled up 35 points in the first quarter for a 35-7 lead; they...

The PUD was notified. 12:18 p.m. A Puget Island resident reported a missing cow. 2:10 p.m. A caller reported that the cones on the Puget Island b...

To The Eagle: With every social ill we have seemingly expanding by the day, let us remind ourselves that the democrat socialist blob controls every major city government, every major university, every TV and motion picture company, every major internet giant, and every major newspaper in our nation. The foolishness and lack of thought of our age is apparent. And then we have the arrogant and heedless among us who will hector and vilify us for not voting for the "progressives," the soft [and hard] left. We reject the foolish and failed policies...
Lance Jensen and Nessa Davis, the owners of Finders Keepers, have found a new home on Main Street in Cathlamet. They haven’t been there long, but they’ve already realized that the move from their former location on the highway has already quadrupled foot traffic, which is good news for them. Jensen, who used to drive a taxi, is originally from Medford, Ore., but moved to Wahkiakum County about eight years ago. “I was looking to get out of Longview, actually,” he said. “This felt more like home...
NEW BEGINNING--Fall is right around the corner! But until then, let's enjoy the nice weather that the first week in September brings us and hopefully it won't get too hot, as starting school when it's real hot outside isn't something most kids look forward to, nor football players! Luckily, we had perfect weather for the Labor Day weekend, which just had to include a BBQ with friends, so I hope you had a good time, too! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from Sept. 5-11 are Tristan Collupy, Carla Keilwitz, Glenn Wiest, Ed Johnson, Britta...

I feel like spring was just yesterday and tomorrow is Christmas. Anyone else experiencing a lovely dose of time these past few weeks? They came, they conquered. I’m still trying to catch my breath from the last rush of summer. The fair was such a good time, I was overwhelmed by a sincere and humbling gratitude towards this bucolic county. Most impressive by far, were the kids. I saw a lot of well behaved, well mannered, hardworking young folk. It was a pleasure to meet the fair queen Genevieve and the living embodiment of Victoria Birnie, b...
It was a glorious day for fishing on Tuesday. It really couldn't have gotten much better for organizers Willie Johnson and Doug Martin, or anyone lucky enough to be involved in the fifth annual Warriors and Widows Salmon Derby. A crowd of captains and servicemen had gathered around the fish cleaning station at the Elochoman Slough Marina at 2:30 p.m., as the last of the participants began to prepare their fish for weigh-in, which ended promptly at 3 p.m. Chris Giang, Army, from Tumwater, hadn't...
In the archives of the Doumit Building, Cathlamet artist Ruth Doumit came across the Aug. 17, 1939, jubilee edition of The Eagle, celebrating the opening of the Puget Island bridge 80 years ago. A highlight of that event in 1939: President Franklin D. Roosevelt activated a switch via telegraph to open the bridge....
Cathlamet resident Connie Christopher has long considered hosting an exchange student, but an entire school year was just too much while she was still working. Instead she decided to try hosting Japanese students who participate in a two week exchange program through Lower Columbia College. She had such a good experience last year that she decided to do it again. That's how Karin (pronounced Kalynn) Koike and Ayaki Suzuki, two vibrant students from Atomi University in Tokyo, Japan, ended up in...

Through multiple mergers and acquisitions, she came to First Interstate Bank in August of 2017 when Bank of the Cascades merged with FIB. Carol has been an avid volunteer in the community, serving as treasurer for the local Kiwanis Club. In this role, she has helped to organize many fundraisers with the local Key Club. Carol will be greatly missed...
WEEKEND WEATHER--This past Saturday morning saw us dodging a little moisture but by afternoon, it was dry again. Sunday was truly a wonderful day, and by the looks of the traffic, half the people in the state were headed to the beach! They say we will have a heat spike by the time you read this. Depending on which weather station you listen to, there could be a chance of some light showers creeping in to the weekend forecast but I guess we'll have to wait and see what shows up. STILL DRY--As of this writing, the burn ban in our county is still...
