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...

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...

NIPPY--Last weekend was sunny and nice during the daytime but those late night temperatures were below freezing out here in West Valley, so we were definitely feeling the "nip" in the air.

The change in weather does remind us however, that we need to be ready for "anything" and so it's...
