It’s still summer, and most folks can’t believe it. This is the longest dry spell that I can remember since we came here 13 years ago. I hear some farmers may even get a third cutting of hay on some of their fields. Does anyone else enjoy the sounds and smells of this country life, with the scent of warm cut grass and the machinery working late into the evenings? It sure beats the sounds of traffic and the smells of city life. News from Naselle: If anyone has a child that they would like to enroll in the Naselle ECEAP program, please con...

To The Eagle: Our community faces a critical choice: Winter River, Sunrise or Old Growth? These exterior color schemes have been created by consultants at Home Depot for our remodeled Library/Community Center. To help us select the proper palette all you have to do is vote.

We mourn the death of Cathlamet resident George Hanigan. A fourth generation Wahkiakum County resident, George holds a place in the county's history. I was a kid back in 1966 when my father came home and told us about the new attorney who had grown up in Cathlamet, gone to college in Spokane and moved back to Cathlamet, to a house just down the street from us. My father had made a new friend, a friendship that lasted to his death. George soon won election as prosecuting attorney and began playing a guiding role in county government. In the...

ROUGH WEEK--As you may have noticed, I didn't have a column in last week’s paper. I was feeling lousy, and finally gave in and went to the doctor, who thought a trip to the ER right away would be a good idea. I had thought it was a stomach bug or something, so I was certainly not prepared to go to the hospital. If I'd known, I'd have had the house clean, my column written and all that good stuff done! But as luck would have it, I didn't have time to do anything at all and just wound up going in and having a very irritated gall bladder taken out...
