To The Eagle: I want to send a thank you to a few people who stepped up for the gallery and the parade on Bald Eagle Days. I had mentioned to Ray Badger that we had a spot in front of the gallery and it would be cool to display a Model T out front because we have that Model T fender hanging over the gallery door. People could get a better idea of what it belonged to. Ray had Bill Ower bring his Model T truck to the gallery the Wednesday before the parade. David Goodroe measured the bed and said...

Last year around mid-September a group of current and former Wahkiakum County residents had the opportunity to step foot on Centurylink Field (the Seattle Seahawks’ stadium) while raising awareness for a chronic autoimmune disorder called Crohn's Disease. “A Touch of Football," an annual flag football tournament, has since been organized and hosted by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, “a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cures for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative colitis” (CCFA.org).

There was one thing most everyone could agree about on Bald Eagle Day 2015. "It was hot," Chamber of Commerce Director Shannon Gildea said on Tuesday. Just 10 days earlier she had been worried about a forecast for rain. No chance. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky. Groups of people were punctuated by sunlight as they sought shade under trees that lined the parade route. One family had the foresight to set up a canopy in front of their home. The more resilient set out chairs in the sun. Kids...

Commissioner Bob Jungers voiced his frustration at the ongoing negotiation with the Town of Cathlamet regarding their water contract at Tuesday's Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners meeting.

HOT ENOUGH?--I hope you had plenty of sunscreen on during the Bald Eagle Day parade and doings, as it was definitely hot and sunny! While it's great to have dry weather for the event, it would have been nicer if it had been about 15-20 degrees cooler as some folks, like me, just wilt in that kind of heat and wind up hiding in a cool basement instead of braving the heat wave! Sunday started out like it was going to be another brutally hot day, and in some areas it was, but here in Skamokawa, a nice breeze came up and we were in the 70's by after...

To The Eagle: If you are considering theft of any kind please consider the following before you act. Anything you take from someone else without permission or making payment for is theft. This is against the law to say the least. The first thing you need to realize is that whoever owns what you are considering stealing, worked for it. They put in the hours of work or provided exchange for that item. When you steal it you are stealing their honest labor as well as what they bought with their wages. Now if this does not mean anything to you, then...
