The eastbound truck ran off the highway around 4:48p.m. at the foot of the Abe Creek passing lanes, downed utility lines, took out a guard rail, and...
To The Eagle: What’s all the commotion on healthcare about? I remember when we worked, so much was taken out of our paychecks for SS, Medicare and Federal. Then we had up to three options of what type of health benefits we could choose from, Kaiser, Blue Cross, etc. Have the companies stopped providing health benefits? If so, why? Is it because the government taxed them so much with fees and regulations that they could no longer provide decent health benefits for its employees? I understand those with health issues need some type of health i...

DAMPNESS--It was great to have a little bit of moisture this past weekend, although I'm not sure everyone agreed as there were a lot of things going on, like people camping and fancy cars and trucks headed to car shows, that would rather have had it dry.

However, as we all know, the weather is subject to change from one day to the next. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from Sept....

While county officials agree they'd like to see lower speeds on SR 4 in the Cathlamet area, they don't want to use traffic circles to accomplish that end. County Engineer Paul Lacy on Tuesday asked commissioners if they'd like to include in the county's Six Year Road Improvement Plan a proposal to install traffic circles, also called roundabouts, at SR 4 intersections with Main and Columbia streets and make modifications to the highway that would slow traffic. Citing distaste for traffic circles, commissioners voted against the proposal....
With their members aging and dwindling, the congregation of the Cathlamet United Church of Christ this spring started looking for an organization to take over ownership and operation of their building. They ended up agreeing by an 8-0 vote to offer the property to Wahkiakum County for use by Health and Human Services (H&HS). H&HS administrators like the offer, but when they presented a proposal on Tuesday to go through with the proposal, the board of county commissioners expressed concerns about the financial aspects of long-term ownership of...

The commissioners will revisit the matter at the next meeting, after they’ve had time to consider it. General Manager Dave Tramblie reported that a customer had contacted him about the pos...

HOT!--I don't know about you, but if the rain shows up during the latter part of this week like they are forecasting, I will be very relieved, as these high temperatures have just been miserable for a lot of folks without AC and it makes working outside just about impossible. Of course, as seen by the fact that there are fires burning all over our PNW, some rain would be welcomed for those as well, and the cooler/damper weather conditions would certainly be welcomed for all those firefighters who have been battling blazes all over Washington,...

Cathlamet resident Jim Kolberg journeyed to Maupin, Ore., to view the August 21 solar eclipse in totality. He took the time to cut some holes in some paper and held it up to his camp chair to create this face with pinhole projections of the eclipsing sun.

TOASTY--If you like the hot weather, you have obviously been enjoying this latest band of heat that has shown up this week! With temperatures in the upper 90s, this summer weather is not ending and it has led to a real dry one for sure. Fire danger is high and with multiple wildfires still burning out of control, officials are warning us to continue to honor the burn ban and be very vigilant with any hot items, which have the potential to cause/start a fire.
