Lots to do these coming weeks here in town. Book Clubbers and ‘want to be’ book clubbers, you still have time to read “The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared” by Jonas Jonasson before Friday, March 8th. It’s about an old guy who is desperate to avoid his 100th birthday party. The book isn’t the least bit dull, packed with lots of history, a very enjoyable read. The group gets together every second Friday at 11, if you’d like to join in. Next Thursday, March 7th is the second meeting in regard to the School Summer...

Line Foreman Shane Pfenniger stopped by the Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners meeting to recount the two hour county wide power outage event that took place last week and explain how the crew responded. “The power went out at my house,” Pfenniger said. “Immediately I got text messages and phone calls from all the employees here. That indicated that it was a county wide outage. I called the crew in, we made our way to the substation and we called the dispatcher from BPA.” Normally, Pfen...
To The Eagle: It is too bad the folks that drafted proposition 1639 did not include some form of “Opt Out” clause for those who live in rural areas and from time to time have immediate need for defense of family members or livestock from predators, both two and four-legged. A while ago my ex-wife saw a coyote in the yard trying to catch her pet chickens. Fortunately for all involved I heard the ruckus and ran around the house to see what was going on. There was my wife, who did not like having guns in the house, hanging out the window scr...

Members of the Cathlamet Town Council addressed a variety of issues when they met Tuesday. --The council voted 4-0 to contract with John Morgan and his Morgan CPS consulting firm to develop a long-term strategic plan.

Colleagues Sue Cameron and Laurel Waller countered that the planning would give the council and staff a basis for making decisions. "I think it will be much more integral to getting us to the future we want," Waller said. --Councilors and members of the...
QUIET START--As this week begins, it was just at freezing in West Valley, but other than that, this past Sunday was mostly cloudy but there were even a few sun breaks, so that was nice. I understand the weather for the end of the week may be a bit more challenging and depending on where you are, you could even have some snow or icy conditions. If we do get some nastier weather, I hope folks will slow down as many of those accidents could have been avoided if they were driving for the current conditions and not the posted speed limits, which are...

As spring creeps closer, outside activities are inevitable. To me, one of the greatest joys in life, is to plant a seed, patiently trusting that in fact, it will grow. Whether it is a flower, a vegetable or an idea, all that is needed, is the initial will to follow through with the first step. Do you already have a garden? Do you enjoy canning foods? Are you interested in starting one, but don’t know where to begin? Perhaps you secretly long to eat more of your yard and less from the store. If you don’t already have it on your calendar, Saturda...

IT'S WHITE--It depended on where you live as to how much snow you got this past Friday night and weekend, as some had half a foot or more, while some had a few inches, and some were saying they had just a "skiff" of snow and some had absolutely nothing, how lucky for them! With the snow adding up quickly in West Valley on Friday evening, the beauty of it was quickly fading when the heavy clumps started falling off the trees and onto power lines, which then slapped together and caused an outage. Freezing temperatures and outages are not a good...
