Joyce Orr may try to fly under the radar as a busy volunteer, but her warm, generous, and fun loving heart will always give her away. The Cathlamet Woman's Club took notice of all her good work around the community and decided to name her their Citizen of the Year. Orr spends a lot of her time at the Community Garden at Erickson Park in Cathlamet. She has been involved with the garden since its inception in 2010, and she and Winnie Lowsma have been in charge of it for the last four years. "We...
The Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners got an update on how conservation dollars were being used, learned about water pressure issues on Puget Island and approved a resolution that authorized a mutual aid agreement for a water system intertie in Skamokawa. Lia Sealund, a customer service representative, said that the PUD was a little over halfway through the current biennium for their energy efficiency program, which began in October 2017. Thus far they have expended about 72 percent...
To The Eagle, Bill Wainwright’s letter, published last week, was intriguing. If, as he claims, three members of the town council coordinated to meet separately with a consultant they subsequently hired, it would appear to constitute a serial meeting in violation of the Open Public Meetings Act. The fact that two other council members were not invited to meet the consultant is good for them (legally speaking) but also underscores the damaging extent to which the mayor fosters an in group, out-group dynamic on the council and the secrecy he c...
To The Eagle: In the time that my family lived in Cathlamet over the past seven years, we were blessed in some of those years to have received holiday help from the Stars program. Thanks to the generosity of kind local donors in those years, my children were given wonderful gifts of much needed clothing and shoes (which were all we hoped for and anticipated-as it is a needs based program vs a toy wish program), as well as thoughtful bonus gifts of toys which made their Christmas mornings magical. I could not have managed those Christmas...
To The Eagle: I saw the letter to the editor about making an anti-gun control law here in Wahkiakum County and was overjoyed at the idea. The state made this law, fully aware it goes against the intent of the constitution. I dislike where this law is headed; it’s only the first step and needs to be opposed no matter what your feeling about guns are. It’s called civil disobedience, and our nation is founded on it since that day they threw the tea overboard. Don Kinney Cathlamet...
NIPPY BEGINNING--We went from the 40s and 50s right down into the nippy upper 20s at the beginning of this week in West Valley, with the likelihood of it dropping down into the lower 20s by the time you read this, so I do hope you had those pipes wrapped and were ready for those bone-chilling temperatures! I know it's December, but beings I really hate being that cold and dealing with "my water might freeze up" issues, I can only hope this cold spell doesn't last too long. Besides, the holidays are just around the corner and I'd like to be...

River of Life Assembly of God will host a Christmas Concert featuring American Idol Finalist Phil Stacey on Friday, December 14 at 7 p.m. Phil Stacey's first appearance on the sixth season of American Idol was a memorable one, as it was revealed that the United States Sailor was missing the birth of his second daughter in order to audition for the show in Memphis. It was a memorable introduction to the American public, presenting the Jacksonville, FL, native in a very appealing light. Of course, it helped that Stacey (age 29 at the start of the...

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...
