The competitors brought families, and they filled the town's streets and businesses for several days. Even though there are cash prizes for the events,...

The Cathlamet Town Council on Monday agreed to start in motion the process to stop providing water for Wahkiakum PUD's Puget Island Water System. The water contract for two entities doesn't expire until 2037, but council members agreed with Mayor George Wehrfritz that it might be prudent for the agencies to separate.

Wehrfritz reported he and other town representatives have discussed the situation with PUD officials, who seem willing to consider finding...

Recently, we have drifted off into crony capitalism, which pretends to be the real deal, but actually is the government(s) picking winners and losers with an obnoxious...

So we better get busy and make this county look pretty for the droves of tourists who will be coming to replace the income we have been feeding our families with for the past umpty years. It was interesting to me that this viewpoin...
