"Chris told me he had the perfect job and the perfect house," Laurie Miller, the new pharmacist at the Cathlamet Pharmacy said of her predecessor, Chris Wuestefeld. "And now he's moving."

Special memories shared of Kim Hedges To The Eagle: I have meant to write this for some time but neglected to do so. Many of your memories of Kim, told at her memorial, were different than mine. My special memories are when she was a young girl and attended church with us. She was also a member of the missionette group, like Girl Scouts, only through the church. After we put our pool in, she was the first to be baptized in it. As she lay in a coma, I prayed that somehow God would allow her to remember those good times we had together. I...
Water intake plant improvements to begin To The Eagle: As readers will no doubt have already read elsewhere in The Eagle, the Town of Cathlamet’s Contractor will be beginning work on improving the water intake to our drinking water plant. This is exciting news! The reason for this work is to allow the plant to pull more water out of the river and to get closer to the volume of water that the plant itself can treat. Assuming all goes well, we should be allowed by regulators to provide water to as many customers as want our water. All this g...
To The Eagle: There are many new age snake oil salesmen telling anyone who will listen about the many wonderful benfits marijuana has in store for you. Get real, the only thing that belongs in your lungs is air. I know you can ingest it in food, too, just to get that high you think you need or worse, maybe even have become addicted to. I know a lot of you won’t gather round to hear my pitch, but here it goes anyway. If you need to feel good, you know, get that high, why not visit a lonely person, maybe mentor a child, buy a kid in need some s...

To The Eagle: I read with interest James Roberts’ letter of July 28 regarding the legal sale of cannabis products in Wahkiakum County. With equal interest, I anticipated a reply on August 4 from Commissioner Dan Cothren. Reading the Commissioner’s reply to Mr. Roberts, it became immediately apparent that he had not paid sufficient attention to Mr. Roberts’ letter to The Eagle. James Roberts did not say that the county received the 10 percent of revenue given to all counties that approved legal sales of these products. On the contrary he asked...
To The Eagle: Ok, I get it. This is how politics works. I had a letter printed in this paper on 7/28 clearly stating that I had questioned the politicos in attendance at the ‘Meet the Candidates' gathering at the Skamokawa grange why Wahkiakum county wasn't receiving the 10 percent from the sale of legal and voter approved recreational marijuana. Representative Brian Blake stated that Wahkiakum County had refused to allow the sale or cultivation of this legal crop. I questioned him and Mr. Rossetti as to what we, the citizens of our cash s...
