Council members had reconvened a meeting recessed from September 15 on Friday. They had discussed the issue earlier but delayed action to have a clean, formal agreement to consider. At that Monday meeting, Aaron Roberts, WDFW regional hatchery manager, explained that the department wanted to test the feasibility of having...
Candidates for sheriff, Mike Balch and Mark Howie, met for a debate on Monday night in front of a crowd in the Pioneer Church. The event was sponsored by the Woman’s Club and moderated by The Wahkiakum County Eagle Publisher Rick Nelson. Below is a truncated version of the evening’s conversation. Rick Nelson: The format tonight will be a debate style program where I’ll ask a question and one candidate will have an opportunity to respond, the next candidate can respond, and then if they would...
To The Eagle: I grew up in Cowlitz County, not Wahkiakum. Like many others, I left home to pursue an education and a successful career. Later in life, my husband and I were able to return to our roots. After living in Portland, Wahkiakum County seemed like "Mayberry" (the l960's era Andy Griffith show) where the sheriff solves problems by drinking coffee with the folks and riding around in the car with the "bubble light" on top. I wish it were so but we're several decades past that type of law enforcement. We'd be naive or stupid to think we do...
This is in response to Dennis Gordon’s latest attempt to smear Mr. Faubion’s good name. For those who might not know, Mr. Faubion represented Mrs. Gordon in her divorce proceedings against Mr. Gordon a number of years ago. I’m guessing that he did a good job because Mr. Gordon has been a very angry man since then. He needs to get over it and move on with his life. As regards to other issues he brought up, I offer the following: 1. When the Fire Dept. discovered that the Moody’s had misappropriated funds, it was immediately reported to the she...

MIXED BAG--Well, this past week we've certainly had a variety of weather and some of it was great. Then came Sunday! Wow, that was quite an impressive thunder event we had and if you add a touch of lightning and a brief power outage, along with some heavy rains, it made for quite an interesting day! Looks like we're in for some cooler weather with fairly moderate temperatures for most of this week, except for Thursday (today), when temperatures are back in the summer time range. I guess we may need to keep the fans and AC units going just a...

Swart spoke of the many years of work that has gone into relocating the town’s wastewater treatment facility away from the waterfront so that “this precious resource can be used for something more up to date and for the bet...
The Cathlamet Town Council is offering a proposed compromise to Wahkiakum PUD to resolve their dispute over the contract to provide water to the Puget Island Water System. Town officials feel the contract doesn't include costs for system expansion and water loss, and PUD officials haven't agreed to pick up a share of those costs, which, in the future, would include upgrades to the water plant's raw water intake and the implementation of a second source of water for the town's water system. At their meeting in July, council members agreed that...
Commissioner Eugene Healy addressed the termination of Wahkiakum PUD's current water contract with the Town of Cathlamet in 2037 during Tuesday’s PUD commissioner meeting. “I came away with the idea, ”Healy said, “that we all agree that currently the contract that we have is satisfactory to both parties, we may not like the contract, either side, but it is being administered properly and legally." Speaking to the commissioners’ desire to move forward, Robert Jungers said, “For a specific ta...
The Cathlamet Town Council expects no action on an agreement with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) when it reconvenes its recessed Monday meeting later this week. The council needed to meet at the end of the week to award a contract for painting of the refurbished library building, and council members also agreed to delay action on the agreement so that they could have a clean copy of the agreement to sign; the draft presented at the Monday regular meeting had proposed changes from town Attorney Heidi Heywood. Aaron...

To The Eagle: I have written and rewritten letters to the editor towards the issue of the current campaign and have torn them up without sending. I came to the sheriff's office at the start of this year from King County. My reason in doing this had nothing to do with pay, I took a huge pay cut to make this happen. I saw a community that was really hurting and I wanted to help. If the voters don't choose to re-elect Howie then I will be retiring. I have no regrets about making the move. I have grown to deeply love this community and the people...

Wahkiakum County commissioners discussed financial trends and acted on other business in a short meeting Tuesday. Treasurer Tammy Peterson reported a high market has created a windfall of unanticipated revenue for the county and other branches of local government. The county expected $1.1 million in revenue from the sale of timber off state-managed trust timberland, but the actual total will be closer to $1.7 million. Timber sold from private timberland is also being sold at high prices, and the collection of timber excise tax has already...
