OFF AND ON--The first day of Spring saw the skies "springing a leak" after several wonderfully warm days. The weekend started out with pounding rains which made the TV signal go out at times, so it was not a nice start to the day. However, it did wind up improving as the day went by. It was back to the wind and rain on Sunday morning, but once again, it turned out decent so folks were still out in their flower beds and staying busy. I hear we'll be basking in a couple of full days of sunshine by the time you read this, so let's hope the...

The Cathlamet town council maintained a building moratorium, discussed a possible street vacation and acted on other business when it met Monday evening. Scott Espedal, owner of some lots in the Columbia Ridge Estates development off Glengate Loop in Rosedale, asked the council to lift a moratorium on building permits in a portion of the development. The council implemented the moratorium in 2010 because the development's homeowners association hadn't completed paving streets as required in the development's subdivision permit. Espedal said he...
To The Eagle: If Wahkiakum County is cut off from the rest of the world due to some sort of disaster, manmade or natural, what will you do? If you have to evacuate, where will you go and how will you get there? If you can’t evacuate, will you have enough food and water? If we have no electricity, how will you stay warm, how will you heat water, how will you cook food? If our water and sewer systems are inoperable, how will you flush your toilet?

Audrey Petterson took a personal milestone to a whole new level last Wednesday when she decided to celebrate her 50th birthday with a 26.2 mile run. Spurred on by the need for more funds to support a coming visit to the high school by the Seattle Shakespeare Company and longing to provide students with even more opportunities, a marathon wasn't enough for the warm, energetic and joyful English teacher at Wahkiakum High School. Petterson decided to do a little fundraising for this, her 18th marat...

The Helping Hand Food Bank is looking for a new home. For several years, the food bank has been housed in the River Rat Tap building, built in 1890, but the old tavern is beginning to look like it has soaked up too much of what had been its biggest product. It has begun to lean and sag and the floor has a very definite slope. After a recent windstorm, the front door will no longer open all the way. A crack is beginning to spread along a beautifully painted mural and the 90 degree angles...
GORGEOUS--Wow, has this past week been great or what? The days were full of sunshine and the temperatures were up in the mid-60's and even got to 70 one day, so it has been wonderful, except for the fact that it made us start our spring chores a little sooner than I was hoping. No time to relax when there's things to do, like yard work! By the time you read this we are supposed to be back to some rainy days, so maybe I'll get to kick back and read that book I'd planned on reading during the "dreary winter days," which we just haven't had many...

It’s official, in my mind: Spring is here. I just found my first trillium blooming next to our driveway. Now it’s time to head into the woods and see if I can find the hundreds of trilliums that I was lucky enough to see last year. This year I will have my camera handy, so I can share.

To The Eagle: We want to thank the Wahkiakum County Planning Commission for standing with the community in their February 26 vote to reject the Port of Longview's proposal to dispose dredge material inside the dike of East Sunny Sands Road. The proposal was vague in long term management while wanting to begin in September. But the most important failure in the proposal is that it would by-pass the necessary replenishment of sands onto the beaches of Puget Island. This was the community's vital...
