Big plays and few mistakes were keys to the Wahkiakum Mules' 36-29 football victory over the Toutle Lake Ducks last Friday in Cathlamet. The result means the Mules finish 7-2 in regular season play, second place in the River Division of the Central League, and host of a cross over playoff game this Friday. The loss dropped the Ducks into a tie for third in the league and on the road to start the playoffs. The two teams traded touchdowns in the first and second quarters. The Ducks scored first...
To The Eagle: I am writing this letter to endorse Jean Burnham for Position #5 of the Cathlamet Town Council. I met Jean nearly four years ago and we have become friends. She is smart, dependable and hard working. I believe she would do a great job for the Town of Cathlamet if elected to the council. Char Damitio Cathlamet...
To The Eagle: In response to his letter of last week, it would appear that Mr. Schreiber wants to take me to the woodshed. If so, it would be nice if he presented fact rather than innuendo. At no time did I suggest that the second amendment be scrapped, although it would seem prudent to at least take a look at adjusting it for the technology of our time. Never was it suggested that guns be taken from us but doubt the Founding Fathers would have approved of Joe Blow having a gun capable of firing 600 rounds a minute or bump stocks for all. A...
Ballots for the 2017 general election have arrived in Wahkiakum County mail boxes. Reporter Diana Zimmerman has written the following profiles for most of the candidates for local office. Photos and stories by Diana Zimmerman. In August 2015, Scott Anderson and two other candidates interviewed for a spot on the Port 1 commission vacated by Larry Bonds. Anderson won the appointment, and this November, he's on the ballot for the first time, hoping to retain the position. Anderson is a Wahkiakum...
In a campaign mailing last week, Laurel Waller, who filed last spring for Position 5 on the Cathlamet Town Council, said people had told her they were interested in writing her in for Cathlamet mayor. She said she would accept the job, if elected. County Auditor Diane Tischer said Tuesday that she had checked with the Secretary of State's office about this situation. "She may not file as a declared write-in candidate, but voters may write in her name for any position," Tischer said. "If she wins in both positions, then she'd choose and resign...
Wahkiakum County's commissioners accepted a donation of property, discussed trust timber management issues, and gave county employees a raise when they met Tuesday. The board formally accepted the donation of the United Church of Christ buildings and property in Cathlamet. The congregation voted last spring to dissolve and offered the property to Wahkiakum Health and Human Services (H&HS) for house programs that would benefit county residents. "The County of Wahkiakum declares its deep and sincere thanks to the congregation for the many...

WILD ONE!--We sure had ourselves a nasty, wet and windy begining to the weekend, as Saturday was just horrible and by the evening, even worse. Many people lost power, which in our case, was caused by a big tree that came down and took out the overhead lines. Then more rain fell later on, after we had already recorded our 6-plus inches that day, so by morning, there was water over West Valley Road once again. For those of us who have lived here awhile, it's pretty normal but for others, it was a bit of a surprise! There was high water in all...

Submitted by Kelly Love Students from Wahkiakum County have a new understanding of how robots help surgeons after a visit to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center.

The Wahkiakum County board of commissioners revisited beach nourishment issues and covered other topics at their regular Tuesday meeting. Commissioner Dan Cothren reported consulting engineers are moving ahead with what should be the final permits to bring dredge spoils to eroding beaches on Cape Horn and Puget Island. However, the latest permit was added after the county set its initial budget, and Cothren said the county will have to add another $4,000 to the budget. "We're working that out;...
Much needed dredging at the Elochoman Slough Marina will start in November, but it looked doubtful on Thursday when Mayor Dale Jacobson raised concerns during the Wahkiakum County Port 1 Commission meeting about the placement of dredge spoils. At one point he threatened to pull Town of Cathlamet support for the project. “Maybe you need to find another disposal site,” Jacobson said. The mayor’s comment was met with shock and anger on the part of the port commission and staff. The port has been wo...
The Cathlamet town council got their first look at their 2018 budget, came to agreement on the controversial town administrative assistant proposal and acted on other business at their monthly meeting on Monday. At the request of Council Member Ryan Smith, Clerk/Treasurer Kerrie McNally prepared two preliminary budgets for consideration; one included $80,000 for the administrative assistant, and one didn't. Mayor Dale Jacobson has advocated for the position, saying it is needed to take part of the administrative load off of him. There was...
Trust, but verify the facts To the Eagle: A friend asked me if I read James Roberts’s last letter to the Eagle, my first thought was my God I hope so. Then I read his letter in the Oct. 7 Eagle and was left with the same amount of bewilderment as when I read almost all of his letters. He apparently believes we should give up our second amendment rights and have the government he so eloquently points out shouldn't be trusted, suddenly be trusted to protect our family and property. I say no thanks to that idea. He uses the fact that one well arme...
To The Eagle: Nearly deafened by the silence, the dichotomy of the current Tale of Two Cities stuns anybody that pays attention to current events. Now that the NRA has been spared the indignity of responsibility and the Las Vegas slaughter has joined Sandy Hook and all the other mass killings in the little can with the foot operated flip lid, the new issue seems to be the abuse of women. Two powerful men accused of the same type of abuse face totally different sanctions. The Hollywood guy gets fired from his own company and the political guy...
Bernadette Goodroe is one of two candidates vying for the council member #4 position for the Town of Cathlamet. She has been on the town council since February of 2016, when she was appointed to replace her late husband, David Goodroe. "The mayor asked me if I would be willing to take over David's seat," Goodroe said. "The other council members endorsed that. I was really reluctant initially because my husband was really good at this thing, but it sucks you in a little bit at a time, as you...
