It took a little longer than expected, but thanks to the Town of Cathlamet, children have a new park structure to play on at Erickson Park. Last year, the town applied for a grant to purchase a structure that had been picked out by Superintendent of Public Works Duncan Cruickshank, but they were turned down. This year, the council authorized $20,000 to be budgeted for the project, according to Town Clerk/Treasurer Kerrie McNally. It turns out that the money that had been set aside didn't have...

To The Eagle: Warning: Brian McClain for assessor is not playing fair. He is currently not an accredited appraiser, the best way to protect the taxpayers. If McClain wins, we taxpayers will be forced to hire, pay for, a substitute accredited appraiser, plus pay McClain some $100,000 (including benefits) for not working as an accredited appraiser for at least a full year. After the passage of one year, McClain may or may not become an accredited appraiser. Vote for a currently fully accredited appraiser – Bill Coons. Dick Watts C...
To The Eagle: As the new school year begins, we here at the Wahkiakum County Sheriff's Office wish to remind folks to take extra caution as children, staff, and parents drive or walk to school and home. We will have extra traffic patrols near the school to enforce speed, stop sign, and bus paddle enforcement. One of the violations we have seen increase in the last couple of years is drivers passing a school bus while the stop paddle is extended (RCW 46.61.370). Not only is the fine for this violation $419, but passing a school bus with a stop p...

DAMP BEGINNING--As the week began Sunday morning, we had some light rainfall which was most welcomed by all those who received it. When it falls real lightly after a long, dry spell, it's really good as it gets a chance to soak in and not just run off and do little to help the parched lawns and surrounding fields, so it was just perfect. However, as the work week began, we saw sunshine return and the chance for more warm days, so it looks like we'll be closing out August with some decent weather and begin September with the same. SPECIAL...

Town of Cathlamet officials reported progress on a variety of issues at the monthly town council meeting on Monday. Public Works Director Duncan Cruickshank said the town crew had found two large water leaks and repaired them. They were leaking 60,000 gallons or more per day, he said. Working with a consultant, they’ve found many other small leaks, probably caused by deteriorating band joints; Cruickshank called it “death by 1,000 cuts." Early in the summer, a major leak in a main running through the Birnie Creek channel almost drained the sys...
To The Eagle: I agree with Paul Schreiber's letter of last week. The letter by the former deputy that was essentially whining about Mark Howie and how he runs the sheriff department, was totally off base. According to the fired for cause former deputy, Sheriff Howie has caused several other deputies to either quit or feel dissatisfied. I am curious as to what is in his background that led to his firing in the first place? A reasonable suggestion to the former deputy would be to pull up his big boy panties and stick to fact rather than sour...
To The Eagle: Ironic that The Eagle joined in the hysteria generated by media monopolies last week in pretending that their 1st Amendment rights were under attack by the president while exercising those same 1st Amendment rights. The president has criticized #FakeNews not actual reporting. Examples of what POTUS refers to are legion. Just this week, ABC News ran a breaking story with companion video of an illegal alien being arrested by ICE. It was presented as the shocking story of a father wrenched from the arms of his pregnant “wife” whi...
