Department Administrator Sue Cameron said staff have been studying their space needs, and they have suggested remodeling a garage building at the Elochoman Campus to house...
A change in venue has breathed new life into Columbia River Kayaking, LLC, a local collective of kayak guides in Skamokawa. Ginni Callahan, a world class kayaker who lives on Puget Island, and another kayaker, Skamokawa resident Mark Whitaker, have found a permanent home for their fellow kayak guides at Skamokawa Landing. Before it breathed new life, it breathed a sigh of relief. The space they had been renting behind the Skamokawa store had seemed optimal. It was aesthetically pleasing and...
To The Eagle: Audiences were delighted by a film festival chronicling the film work of young film maker Elia Hoover in the High School library last Friday. During the thirty minute showing, Elia's talents spanned battle field scenes, intergalactic travel and old west gun fights. Elia Hoover's talents are unmistakable. As a former film maker myself, what impressed me most about Mr. Hoover's achievement was the perseverance. Making a film is a mammoth undertaking, somehow he fought through the self doubt and limited resources and made several...
To The Eagle: A couple of weeks ago there was a door-to-door collection of food for the food banks. I was told that the food would be distributed equally between the two food banks that operate in this county. As a user of these foods banks I am very concerned. I visited the Wahkiakum Food Bank and their shelves were stuffed with food to the point that there was food on the bottom shelves for holiday giving. There are such wonderful caring people in this county to help out the less fortunate. The following week I visited the Helping Hand Food...

To The Eagle: I would like to put my two cents in on the new brewery that they want to put in Cathlamet. I truly feel it should be in a building that is already built in town and I think the brick building at 83 Main Street would make a spectacular place for a brewery. We would use the building that is and has been empty for a few years which makes me sad every time I walk by it. It is a historic building, it would bring people downtown. We have a nice boardwalk to downtown from the marina. Something to consider. Debbie Kuller...
