SUPER NICE--What a difference a week makes, as this weekend we had absolutely gorgeous weather, compared to the soaking we had the week before, so it was really great. The night-time temperatures were in the low 40s in West Valley, with lots of fog in the morning hours, but the sunshine that followed made it all worthwhile. With more rain due at the beginning of the work week, we can only hope that it clears up some by mid-week like they say it's going to, at least for a couple of days. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from Oct. 10-16...
In the Sheriff’s race portion of the Candidate Forum in Grays River Tuesday night, moderator Krist Novoselic opened up the event by fielding questions from the crowd. Here are some questions put to candidates Mike Balch and Mark Howie. Question: Mike, you mentioned our dependence on volunteers in the county. I’m recalling back when Jon Dearmore was the undersheriff and he asked me to be recruited into the CERT program. The Civilian Emergency Response Training program. We still don’t have CERT...
To The Eagle: Kudos to the Cathlamet Woman’s Club and The Eagle for hosting the September 23, 2013 forum where the voters could listen to the responses of Wahkiakum County Sheriff candidates Mark Howie and Mike Balch to questions about their qualifications, preparedness, and approach to the job of Sheriff. September 17-23 is National U.S. Constitution Week, and I cannot think of a better way to honor the legacy of our Founding Fathers than helping citizens inform themselves about choices facing them on November 5, Election Day. After t...
To The Eagle: What are the people running this country and the world doing? I have coined a term, “Democanunist.” If it is not readily apparent, this is a blend of Democrat, Republican and Communist. They are all involved in the political arena and appear to be feathering their own nests with no regard to the results and consequences of their actions. Please note: I acknowledge there may yet be people who are still trying to abide by the US Constitution and Bill of Rights; people who are trying to live honest and straight. It appears the ord...

WET AND WILD--I'm pretty sure there's no fire danger around here anymore, as we had inches and inches of rain over the last week and now we just have to worry about mudslides and falling trees. Last weekend saw officials already dealing with power outages and trees and water over the various roadways, while fields turned into lakes. The thunder and lightning storm that descended upon us Sunday morning was enough to shake a person out of bed, so we've had some pretty wild weather, which brought record-breaking rainfall amounts to many local...

According to information from the Wahkiakum County Auditor's Office, the AutoMARK is easy to use, magnifies ballots, reads ballots, marks ballots, and is accurate and...
Cathlamet Mayor George Wehrfritz and Public Works Superintendent Duncan Cruickshank offered the Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners a chance to renegotiate the current water contract with the town at the bi-monthly PUD meeting Tuesday morning. “What we want to do is get to the point where we can get a new contract and move on and stop talking about this,” Cruickshank said. “What we are looking for is the PUD to take a share of the cost of our financing for when we buy large items. "You...
To The Eagle: October 1st marks the first day of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month is nationally recognized as a time to mourn those who have lost their lives, celebrate those who have survived and connect all of us so we can work together to end violence. The unfortunate fact is that so many of us know someone who has been affected by domestic violence – a friend whose creepy boyfriend we never really liked, or a family member who, years later, reveals surviving abuse no one ever knew about, or a family friend whose...
WET WEEKEND--Fall officially began last weekend and what a wet one it was. Sunday was especially soggy and blustery and it certainly brought home the realization that our summer is over, but at least it wasn't as bad here as it was other places, which had multiple trees down and major power outages, so I'm sure we were all happy about that. Beings I never seem to get all those sunny day chores done before the rains begin, I'm hoping for a few nice fall days so that I might get caught up. However hard it is to believe, we are going into October...
