Allie Bennett will be in sixth grade this fall but she finished up her fifth grade year working on a personal project after being inspired by something she saw online. "It was a bucket that you put in the water that picks up trash," Allie said. "But it cost way too much money." That's when her grandfather Allan Bennett suggested a project he found on the Boat US website. It involved building bins to recycle fishing lines. "Can we do it?" was Allie's immediate response. The pair approached Port...
SUPER NICE--We couldn't have asked for a nicer Father's Day with the sun shining and temperatures in the mid-70's, along with a little breeze, so that was great for all those who held barbecues or traveled here or there to treat Dad out on his special day! I have to admit, if you were working in the yard on the sunny side of your house, you might have felt it was a bit too warm. I was thinking it was more like the mid-80s when I was out there. The first day of Summer was Monday and while it began a little cloudy, it too was a great day, so for...

The Wahkiakum County Extension Office would like to introduce a new initiative this year in partnership with the Wahkiakum County Hunger Relief Task Force to encourage home gardeners, farmers and 4-H members to Plant-a-Row for the hungry this growing season.

Nick Vavoudis is all about the details, and it might be from all the years he worked in high technology sales. These days, the details are all about the kids on the Wahkiakum High School golf teams, the kids he has worked with as a volunteer coach and now in his new role. He just finished his first season as head coach. Vavoudis and his wife, Martie-Lynn, moved to the northwest, finally settling in Cathlamet in 2008. "The reason we came here?" he asked. "The weather and the price of housing. But...
BIG DIFFERENCE--Last Saturday was certainly a big change from the previous one, as instead of trying to keep out of the blazing sun and shading ourselves with our umbrellas, like we had to do at the car show, we were raising those umbrellas to keep from getting soaked from some very heavy downpours! Of course, we did have some breaks, which were nice, but all in all, it was a pretty soggy day here in West Valley. However, just down the road, or in Cathlamet, the sun was shining and it was pretty doggone nice so it really depended on where you...

The town was planning to use several around the site of the former sewer lagoons and few along the woo...
To The Eagle: My husband and I prepare every year for our annual visit to our local cemetery. To prepare we load fresh cut ferns, cut flowers, along with a scrub brush, hand grass clippers, rags, cleaning solution, two gallons of water and a large screwdriver to remove the upside down vase that is in front of the headstone (usually it is stuck because moles have pushed dirt inside the vase.) When we get the vase out we have to clean inside as the dirt is packed in it. We brush dirt off the stones, wash using the scrub brush, rinse the...
Duncan Cruickshank, the Town of Cathlamet’s Public Works Superintendent, likened this year’s opening of the Julia Butler Hansen Municipal Swimming Pool to the last minute production of a Broadway show. “Will it work? Will everyone show up?” he wondered. The propane heater is scheduled for maintenance this week and the main pump has yet to be tested, according to Cruickshank. On the bright side, a new liner has been inserted and a local electrician is almost done installing underwater lights....

Commissioner Mike Backman suggested the board hold a public meeting to ex...
PLENTY WARM!--All those heat lovers must have been totally pumped about the heat wave we had last weekend, and even the days prior to and after that, as it was plenty hot, that's for sure! Anytime temps are in the upper 90s at the beginning of June for several days in Skamokawa, with no wind and temperatures still around 70 in the latter part of the evening, well, that's really rare; and uncomfortable! I hear we are supposed to cool down by the time you read this and we should even see some rain, so I know my lawn is going to enjoy that, and...
