To The Eagle: More of the same: At the October Cathlamet Town Council meeting, town councilor Sue Cameron discussed having invited John Morgan from the Morgan Group to speak with the town council. The purpose was to meet the council about helping them develop strategies when making decisions on major issues. She publicly stated he had been referred to her by Bill Fashing, the Council of Governments director. In fact, she had known Morgan since the 90’s when she worked with him in Tillamook. This really isn’t a big deal, except at that mee...
To The Eagle: My husband and I attended the Thanksgiving community dinner at the Hope House last week. The dinner was put on by the Wahkiakum Fair Foundation. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed one of the best Thanksgiving dinners we've ever eaten. Turkey, ham and all the traditional trimmings. Price was by donation, and no one was turned away. We want to thank Jean and Neil Beerbower and all those who volunteered their time and hard work, and/or donated financially to make the dinner a success. While fairly well attended, I am certain there...
To The Eagle: After reading the article in The Eagle titled, “After midterms, Dems develop 2020 plans,” I recalled the old adage, “divide and conquer.” I noticed that nearly all of the “Dems” in the article were talking about fighting. Without getting into the specifics ask yourself who stands to profit if America is busy fighting internally? Perhaps we should/could all stand united against the source(s) of internal strife, or better yet let’s all get busy and get this country productive. Drop all the ism’s, politics, et al and just get busy!...
WET BEGINNING:--As the work week started, we got some more rain, which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. We are behind in our yearly rainfall amounts, which we need to have to keep things nice and green around here, as we certainly don't want a big burn like California just experienced! However, when the rain comes down hard, as in an atmospheric river, then it's not quite as welcome as that can cause flash flooding, erosion, mudslides, etc., so let's hope that things don't materialize in that kind of event here and that the...

General Manager Dave Tramblie had several items to share at last Tuesday’s Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners meeting. In broadband news, an email from the Washington Department of Commerce’s Community Economic Revitalization Board said that the PUD’s application for a broadband feasibility grant had been reviewed and passed the “threshold.” Tramblie and other people involved in the project have been scheduled to give a presentation to the board on January 19.

Daniel E. Rosua Lopéz, 17, is an exchange student and a junior at Wahkiakum High School for the 2018-2019 year. Lopéz was born in Caracas, Venezuela, but thanks to dual nationality, was able to move to Spain nearly four years ago, not long after Nicolás Maduro became president of Venezuela. "It's pretty much a curfew at home most of the day," Lopéz said of living in Venezuela. "It's school/home, school/home. Even if you wanted to go to your friend's house a block away, you had to get your par...
Vo Dai, 16, is an exchange student and a junior at Wahkiakum High School this year. Call him Dai. Dai is from Ho Chi Minh City, once known as Saigon, the biggest city in Vietnam. "We only have two seasons," Dai said. "Hot season and hotter season. Our country has a tropical climate. It's hot all the time. When it rains, it's hot too. After the rain, the sun makes the water in the street smoky. It's so uncomfortable." Suffice it to say, Dai has been a little cold in the last few weeks as the...
With their clerk/treasurer out of commission, the Cathlamet town council is having to regroup and start anew in preparation of the town's 2019 budgets. Clerk/treasurer Kerrie McNally became ill in mid-October and a took a trip to a hospital for several medical problems, from which she is recovering at home. In the meantime, the town's budget preparation process came to a halt. The council normally meets with department heads and town staff to go over budget requests and anticipated revenues to prepare proposed budgets. That didn't happen with...
To The Eagle: Last week I suggested a high tax on ownership of assault weapons. Today I do not think that this is a very practical idea. With 11,000,000 of these weapons already out there it would be really hard to collect such a tax. Eric Skemp Cathlamet...
SOME MOISTURE--A couple of days last week saw some raindrops around here and some cool temperatures but considering we weren't in the midst of "Nor-easter" like many states back East, nor the dry, firey conditions of California, I'd say we were doing alright! We have had quite a bit of fog though, so it's good to remember that while headlights might not make you see any better, it will certainly make it easier for others to see you, so here's hoping you'll flip them on every time you turn the key in your car/truck! TURKEY DAY--If you are...
