Wahkiakum Port District No. 1 commissioners want to see if something can be done about the state of Cathlamet Channel. Earlier this spring, the Coast Guard removed almost all the navigational buoys in the channel, saying the area is no longer safe to navigate due to severe shoaling between Nassa Point and Little Island. At the port commissioners’ May 13 meeting, Port Manager Jackie Lea reported that she is scheduled to meet with Columbia River Yachting Association executive Andy Meyer and staff from Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s office on May...

To The Eagle: Even if Obama and his minions got every gun control and background check law they wanted, the next school shooting will go off as planned or conceived or whatever serves as creative fermentation in the minds of the deranged souls who do these things. Lifting the punch line from an old joke: They are crazy, not stupid. No matter what the law reads, they will equip themselves with whatever armament, artillery or explosive device suits their feverish fantasies. Here’s a thought experiment: The population of the United States is aroun...

To The Eagle: Where was I? “Money is an agreed upon medium of exchange. It is also an idea backed by confidence.” Recent reading indicates it may well have been goldsmiths who issued receipts to people who brought them gold who actually started the current system of money. Makes sense when you think back to the now defunct gold standard, silver certificates, and the fact that pre-federal reserve, the money in the USA was backed by something of value. Unfortunately today it is nothing more than key strokes on a computer that create money. In...

SUN HAS ARRIVED-- After a wet, windy and often cold weekend with a spattering of sunshine here and there, it looks like we finally have a few days of warmth in our region and it's sure a welcome sight. I think my old bones were about to permanently seize up from being so cold all the time, so when the sun finally showed up, all I could do was soak up the light and heat- warmth at last! I did get to soak up the sun, but it wasn't by kicking back and enjoying it, as the flower beds beckoned and so it was warmth via sweating while I yanked and...

Wahkiakum County's oldest food bank is looking for space. Started over 30 years ago by churches in the Skamokawa and Cathlamet areas, the Wahkiakum Food Bank operates Tuesday afternoons in a room at the county Health and Human Services (H&HS) campus on the Elochoman Valley Road. That room was created by walling off a bay in a garage, and food bank operators say it's inadequate for their needs. They asked the county board of commissioners to help them find other quarters on the campus. Commissioners Dan Cothren and Mike Backman said they would l...

Submitted by Iris Coover The Cathlamet Woman’s Club was so excited about Earth Day that we had Richard Bigler, our county garbage collector, come talk with us about recycling. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” Recycling is one small thing we can do to make our community a better place to live. Everyone enjoyed Richard’s informative talk about recycling plastics #1 and #2, using the bin windows that are already opened, not putting plastic bags in the bins, taking glass t...
