Another Bald Eagle Day is in the books. By midday on Saturday, it was a bright warm humid one. That didn't stop a few thousand people from coming into town to take in a parade and join in the fun. Local firefighters, deputies and search and rescue volunteers were well represented in the parade as they showed off their freshly washed fire engines and fast cars. Children sat on curbs waiting for the continual shower of candy coming their way as parade entrants passed. There were clowns and...

Rolly (Roland) Armstrong has made such an impact in his 14 years as a resident of Cathlamet that he was asked to represent the community as grand marshal in Saturday's Bald Eagle Day parade. "I have zero experience at being interviewed," Rolly said on Monday morning. He also has zero experience in being grand marshal, so it's a big week for him. According to Ashley Turner, the director of the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce, 25 people were nominated for grand marshal this year. Rolly was...
There are six girls vying to be Queen of the Wahkiakum County Fair this year. It may sound romantic, but there is a bit of work involved. It's a bit like a summer job, according to Fair Manager Patty Dursteler. "The girls are responsible for fund raising," Dursteler said. "They will be selling fair passes and raffle tickets and coming up with their own ways to raise money." The princess who raises the most money wins the crown. The money they raise will go towards bills, upkeep, improvements and...

The members of the Patriot’s Club at Wahkiakum High School have undertaken a bold endeavor. They are trying to raise $5000 for a motorized, retractable flag to descend like a projector screen from the ceiling of the gym. In conjunction with the VFW, they are organizing a raffle of a patriotic quilt made by the River City Strippers quilt group at Bald Eagle Days as well as patriotic table runners for a $20 donation. Any donation of $100 or more will merit an individualized plate on a plaque soon to be hanging in the school. Checks should be m...

NICE HOLIDAY--I hope you had a nice Fourth of July holiday as we certainly had some good weather for it. As I begin this week's column, it sounds like we'll have been in a bit of a "heat wave" this week, so I hope you've been using sunscreen and limiting your time in the sun so you don't start out your summer with a nasty burn. It goes without saying that you need to stay hydrated and if you're one of those people with a four legged friend with you, do be careful about keeping them out in the sun too long and making sure they get cooled down...

When Kerrie McNally started taking guitar lessons at age nine, she never imagined that one day she’d be writing her own songs. When she was 15 and got her first paying gig, playing at a wedding, she never imagined she’d be putting out a solo album. The CD album in McNally’s hand is proof that dreams evolve over time and experience. And it’s proof that shifting dreams can still come true. Music slept in the in-between years. There was too much noise with five kids to raise and a job at a paper m...

The regularly scheduled Board of Wahkiakum County Commissioners July 1 meeting was moved to Wednesday, July 2, last week. “Just for your own amazement,” said Kent Martin, after providing some numbers on fishing in the area, “of the last six Alaska permits that have left this area, four went to Alaska and one to a guy in Idaho. Only one stayed here, and that went to a guy in Astoria. "Those six permits I would guess probably amount to a local income of $300,000-400,000 a year brought back into th...
