BRR--I know I shouldn't complain about the cold mornings considering the eastern half of the United States is being hammered with snow and ice and minus temperatures, but hey, it's still cold, which is definitely reflected in the ole power bill! Of course, once the ole sunshine comes out, it's half-way decent out there, especially Friday, as it was almost balmy for January! The bad part about all of this, is that it is so dry, we are officially in a drought which certainly is rare for us this time of year. I guess this rain we're having now...

After a 30 year career at the post office, Libby Whitney is ready for retirement to deliver its rewards. Tuesday was her last day on the job, which began in 1984 when she started working as a substitute postal carrier, filling in a few hours every other week. Originally, her husband David applied for the position, but then-postmaster Mary Lang suggested that Libby consider applying instead since the minimal hours would make it difficult to provide for their family. In 1994 she transitioned from driving to working as a clerk. When she started,...
The Dahlia House Bed and Breakfast is open for reservations. The Dahlia House has always belonged to an Elliott. In 1890, a 31 year-old seine boss by the name of Chris Henry had the temerity to elope with the 16-year-old daughter of the Elliott patriarch. His wild act became the impetus to build the house in 1895, in order to prove that he could take care of the girl, Louisa. The two-story Eastlake Victorian overlooks the Columbia River, with views of Cathlamet to the east and Saddle Mountain...

BRR--Here in West Valley, we still know it's winter time as it's been freezing at night and with the fog rolling in upon us in the evening and morning hours, we wind up with "freezing fog" that definitely makes things white with frost and slick to boot, not to mention, cold! Even though the sun looks nice, you'd best not be strutting outside without a warm coat the first half of the day, as in spite of that bright orb in the sky, it's still not too warm out there. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from January 23-29 are Sharon...

To The Eagle: Kay Chamberlain’s letter to The Eagle on the subject about us having little faith in leaving the “experts” to handle the deer refuge hit it right on the nail! Even our commissioners a while back commented that the F&W has done nothing good for us. I remembered, like Kay said, the farmers and landowners maintained the land in good shape, cattle and wildlife thrived. When the government bought out the farmers to make way for the Columbian White-tailed Deer Refuge, it started out good; there were no fences, just a few barbed wire fen...

WILD ONE--Last weekend was a pretty crazy one, with thunder, heavy downpours, strong winds and even a sun break or two on Saturday but pretty much a foggy, rain fest on Sunday with tree limbs coming down and horrible visibility on the roads; a good time to stay indoors. While we didn't have any major problems here, many folks to the east and west of us did and thousands lost power. However, it was perfect football watching weather if you still had power! Now they'll be taking on the San Francisco 49'ers and the fun will really begin this...
