The Rosburg Legacy Everyone leaves a legacy in their lives that only a few may know or even remember; however, along life's journey there are glimpses of heaven to be seen from Cathlamet to Naselle. I am not talking about the wonderful sights we experience and at times take for granted; I am referring to what really makes life a bit of heaven here, the people. I have had the pleasure of meeting many who have been here for a short time to those who have lived here all their lives. On one recent...

By Rick Nelson Monday's meeting of the Cathlamet Town Council had a bit of everything: Council members amended their 2019 budget, agreed to hold workshops, covered other business, and ended with a heated discussion about the effort to recall the mayor and three council members. Early in the meeting, the council agreed to hold two yet-unscheduled workshops; the first with John Morgan, a consultant who the council engaged to lead them through a goal setting process, and the second to discuss findings from two previous workshops to collect public...
To The Eagle: Big thanks to Kristin Lee (Opinion, May 16, 2019) for skillfully outlining details related to the proposed Dollar General store on Hwy 4, including the potential impact on our charming town. She pointed out that it is not a done deal. We have a say in whether or not this happens. If you are interested in learning more about the impact of Dollar General stores on rural towns across America, I encourage you to insert the words "Dollar General rural communities" into your favorite search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL, etc.) where...
To The Eagle: My wife and I attended the liquidation sale at Wally Wright’s Pro Hardware on Thursday morning. To say I was impressed with the citizenry of Cathlamet is an understatement. There was a crowd, as per expectations, but as far as I saw, there were absolutely no problems whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite. People let other folks ahead of them. People helped other folks find things. Fair prices were offered on items not marked. People were kind. People were cordial. People were pleasant. People said “Thank You” and “Plea...
To The Eagle: The quickest way to kill a small town, such as our rare gem here in Cathlamet, is to allow some kind of big box store to come in and undercut the prices of everything we have here. The pharmacy and the grocery store would be the first two casualties followed by who knows what. Look at what happened in other communities that have allowed a travesty such as Wal Mart, Dollar General and others of the mega corporate ilk. My wife and I, along with many others, have chosen to live here in a pseudo rural setting for the very reasons...

UNEXPECTED--We certainly had a crazy weather day last Saturday and it depended on where you were as to just how violent it was. We started out the day with fairly decent weather, then we got some sun breaks and folks were posting some awesome pictures of a "straight line rainbow," which was certainly unique, so there were a lot of "that's neat" comments on Facebook about it. The bad news about that particular phenomenon, according to the weather forecasters, is that it means a storm is coming; who knew? But I have to say, while forecasters aren...

They are a discount retailer that sells items such as groceries, cleaning supplies, clothing, health and beauty, alcohol, cigarettes ,and many have a Redbox video rental as well. Dollar General is the fastest growing outlet in the United States. They currently have none...
