To The Eagle: Initiative measure 1639, authored by the Attorney General of Washington and apparently approved by the voters, violates the United States Constitution in that it discriminates against a class of voters (18 but under 21 years of age) by denying them equal protection and due process of law. An attempt is made to mitigate this by permitting ownership of so-called “semi-automatic assault rifles” to those within the class who already own them, provided they keep them locked up at home and do not use them except in “training sessi...
To The Eagle: I feel extremely fortunate to have attended two spectacular Veteran’s Day programs produced by Mike Thomas and the Wahkiakum High School Leadership Class. The November 7, 2018 assembly featured Vietnam Veterans Ron Kimmel, Brian Elliott and Edward Garcia with videos expressing their individual experiences and patriotic views. Last year Mike produced an equivalent Veteran’s Day program featuring Tom Irving, Ralph Keyser and Ralph Kenner expressing their individual experiences and patriotic views. Both programs were amazing and mad...

Wahkiakum County Port 1 Commissioners made room for the Lions Club and approved several items at their meeting last Thursday. Brian McClain, a member of the local Lions Club, asked if the organization could relocate their paper recycling trailer onto port property. The trailer is currently on Town of Cathlamet property near the wastewater treatment facility. Access is limited and has become inconvenient for the club, which is why are trying to find a more suitable location. The recycled paper...
NOT BAD--While we woke up to some very chilly temperatures last week, the sunshine that showed up on Saturday after some foggy conditions was quite nice, even though it wasn't super warm out there, as it only got up to 45 that day. By bedtime it was once again below freezing out our way so it looks like winter isn't too far away. We are supposed to have had a little more wetness by Tuesday night but then we're supposed to get dry again, so I can only hope that's true as there are a lot of acitivities coming up and it would be nice if it was...

To The Eagle: Volunteers contribute knowledge, experience, energy, and passion every day in our community. Some are highly visible, while others quietly work behind the scenes.

The Pioneer Community Association wants to extend a special thanks to Scott Anderson with Anderson S...

By Diana Zimmerman On Tuesday, Wahkiakum County PUD commissioners listened to reports and approved budgets for 2019. Installing automatic meter reading meters has reduced the amount of time that the crew spends out in the field reading meters, according to General Manager Dave Tramblie. What used to take the crew five days can now be completed in less than one day. There are 300 water meters that still need to be replaced in the Westend, and Tramblie wants to get half of them installed early nex...
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife staff completed a draft evaluation of the Columbia River Basin Salmon Management Policy that was enacted to assure recreational anglers would receive a larger portion of the non-tribal harvest allocation of salmon and steelhead and that removed commercial gillnetters from the mainstem of the river. The evaluation determined that the large economic benefits expected from the policy, also known as Columbia River harvest reform and orginally inspired by former Oregon governor John Kitzhaber, have not...
OFF AND ON--The weather this past weekend was a bit of a mix, as we had some rain, some breezy times, some cloudy times and even some sunshine, so it just depended on where you were and at what time you were there, as to what kind of weather you were experiencing. Nothing like the Pacific Northwest Fall routine! I had heard we were in for an "atomospheric river" coming our way, but it didn't rain nearly as much as I thought it was going to. We were still over the inch mark several days but considering we've seen much worse, that was just...

Wahkiakum county officials this week wrapped up initial steps in preparing their preliminary budgets for 2019. County commissioners met with department heads and others to go over requests line by line. Officials usually express concern that revenue for the Current Expense Fund, which finances most courthouse offices, will be insufficient, but this year they’re saying the picture looks promising. In the past couple years, the county commission has diverted funds from the County Road Levy to Current Expense to cover shortfalls, but that s...
