To The Eagle: The 19th Legislative District in Washington State, which includes Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Pacific, Lewis and Grays Harbor counties, has had no representation of women in that district in over thirty years!

Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. Organizers have hidden sev...

OFF & ON HOLIDAY--Our Fourth of July holiday started out pretty nice for the first couple of days, but we woke up to rain here in West Valley on both Sunday and Monday. If you happen to be one of these people who are experiencing low water levels in your creek or well, I'm guessing you were pretty happy to see some rain fall, but that little bit probably won't do you much good, but it does take down the fire danger a bit, and with massive fires in some areas, the rain is a good thing. I hear we are to get some real rain by the end of the week...

Making a "catch the ring on the stick" toy from northern Canada as part of exploring games from around the world at the Cathlamet Public Library's "On your Mark, Get Set... Read!" Summer Reading Program. "The July 13th program will be on World's records, and we'll be designing an egg protection device, so kids should bring small boxes and padding or cradling materials to protect a raw egg from a big drop!," said librarian Carol Blix....
To The Eagle: There are two types of taxpayers: authentic taxpayers and taxpayers. The authentic taxpayers are homeowners and employees that earn their wages by working for themselves or nongovernment businesses. Taxpayers are homeowners and employees that work for the government and they earn their wages by pocketing off the authentic taxpayers’ paychecks. That said, I’m all for paying our military, veterans, law enforcements, firefighters, roads and education. However, I question the thousands of politicians living high off the authentic tax...
Local officials met Tuesday with representatives of the National Park Service to plan the design process for a waterfront park in Cathlamet. The group is working on a plan for converting the town's old sewer lagoons into a park adjacent to the Elochoman Slough Marina. The town has received a grant from the park service for the work. The group spent much of Tuesday going over a draft survey to be presented to the public in July. The group will tally results, and from there, a park service architect will develop a few possible layouts to present...
Users of the Cathlamet Community Center were prepared to volunteer to cover the down time created when Cheryl Kingston finished her year of Americorps service as the center manager, but the Cowlitz Americorps Network decision to cut funding for the position altogether was a bit of a surprise. At a meeting last week, Sue Cameron, the director for Wahkiakum Health and Human Services and other community members discussed ways to solve the funding and staffing problem. The group that gathered to...
WARM BEGINNING--As this week begins, it's a toasty Sunday; upper 80s in West Valley and I've heard other areas are a little hotter than that, but that's plenty for me. I'm sure those that got soaked last Thursday and Friday are glad to see the sun arrive once again, as it's tough to start a big garage and yard sale when it's super soggy out there. However, it's supposed to be dry all week, and possibly all through the holiday weekend so be sure to take all the heat precautions. However, with the cloudiness here on Monday and Tuesday mornings,...

Cathlamet's town council approved a call for bids for expansion of the water plant intakes and acted on other business at their monthly meeting on Monday. The goal of the water project is to locate an unused line under the Elochoman River which would increase the water plant capacity. The state Department of Health is threatening to restrict the number of new connections to the town and Puget Island water systems unless the town expands water intake capacity. Consulting engineer John Hinton said the project should cost around $5,000 and is fair...

Children/teens from Wahkiakum school district were given a ticket in which they could come to the Community Center and choose either an ice cream sundae or a root beer float. Ice cream and toppings were s...
