To The Eagle: The letter submitted by a Mr. Paul Schreiber and published on 8/18 is at best ill informed and insulting to the previous writers on the matter of legal sales of marijuana in Wahkiakum county. He apparently fancies opinions to carry the same weight as fact, which is obviously ridiculous. Opinions are a great deal like a certain anatomical feature generally not discussed in polite company and of course everybody has one. Facts, on the other hand, are well researched and scientifically proven. It was suggested by Alex Docker that the...
Local bands will be performing at Grange Aid next Friday, September 2, to raise money for the Skamokawa Grange. The Grange is an old building and it's a great building," Erik Friend said. Lots of amazing things have happened here over the years. People who grew up in this town came here for ballroom dances, weddings and gatherings of all sorts. This place needs that energy. It needs a little bit of investment in upkeep. We want to restore the kitchen and dining hall, so we can have dinners and...

At their August 15 meeting, members of the Cathlamet Town Council agreed by consensus to put together a committee to plan increases for water and sewer utility customers. Council Member Dick Swart raised the issue for discussion. ""Our income is insufficient to meet our costs," he said. "The General Fund had to cover a deficit last year. "We need to take a hard look at our rate structure." Swart reminded council members that the town has had two rate studies in recent years. "Nothing was done when the council was told rates needed to...
PLENTY WARM--If you are one of those who love the heat, you sure got it last week and weekend! Wow, way too toasty for me! We joke about it "always raining" at least one day of the Wahkiakum County Fair, but that certainly didn't happen this time, as those drips you felt weren't from the sky but more than likely falling from your forehead! Luckily, a cool down showed up Saturday evening and we began this week with some nice cloud cover on Sunday morning and even some wetness on Monday morning before the sun returned by early afternoon. Cooler...

"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." Move he did. Wuestefeld and his family have relocated to the Tri-Cities. It may simply have been a case of happy wife, happy life. Many people were sad to see him go, especially his co-workers. But they also seem pleased with Miller, who stepped in to fill the vacancy at the Cathlamet Pharmacy. Miller, who...

Most of the survey responders were between the ages of 36-55....
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...
