Junked cars. Bulldozers. Old boats and trailer houses. Road encroachment. Pollution threats from leaking fluids. You name it, and Wahkiakum County residents can tell you where to find it in their neighborhoods. The county board of commissioners held two meetings this past week to gauge public support for an ordinance to regulate unused vehicles and other junk people keep on their private property. Sixty to eighty people attended each of the meetings in Rosburg and Cathlamet, and at the end of each meeting, solid majorities raised their hands...

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...

To The Eagle: Politicians are classes of individuals we can’t have arrive soon enough, but then we are perhaps more than happy when they leave; the feeling is like the day of buying and day of selling a boat. But it is with great disappointment that the Cathlamet mayor George Wehrfritz will not run for reelection in November. While a few of you might feel relief that he is leaving, it is too hot in the kitchen, I think there is an overwhelming feeling for many of us to compliment his vision and accomplishments to help Cathlamet grow and i...
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...
