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.

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...
As voters were preparing to return their vote by mail ballots this past week, a candidate for District 19 state representative faced late challenges.

Rosetti began operating a start-up Minuteman P...
