To The Eagle: Some recent experiences got me looking again at what is really going on today in the world and right here at home. The current governing bodies are operating on a tax and spend basis. Who gets taxed? Those who are still working and providing a service or selling material products to others and getting paid in some form.

If they liked that town so much they should go back to it. Mike Mouliot Cathlamet...

Wahkiakum Port District No. 1 commissioners and staff continue to discuss the need to dredge the entrance channel to Cathlamet’s Elochoman Marina. The commissioners and staff recapped the situation during a June 13 meeting. As it has in many areas of the Cathlamet channel of the Columbia, shoaling has occurred, and the shallow waters are difficult for some boats to navigate.

SAD TIMES--While the weather was great and the days seemed perfect over the weekend, there were some members of our community who suffered tragic losses in their...
