WET & WINDY--The storm that blew in last Friday was certainly a wet and windy one. No one could attest to that better than the driver of the semi-double trailer truck that blew over on the Astoria Bridge, halting traffic for several hours. It wasn't long before we had a small lake in our field again. It's always amazing to me how fast the ducks and geese hear about the new pond in town! Saturday had us viewing the sun off and on, so that was a nice break from the downpouring rain. Everybody I talked to was ready to head to Hawaii for...

Is a local microbrewery on the horizon? At Monday’s Port District #1 meeting, a group of 10 local investors represented by Cathlamet businessman Richard Erickson presented a proposal to port commissioners to site a microbrewery on port-owned property at Elochoman Marina. The proposal asks the port to build and lease a 1,000-1,200 square foot building to the group for a five-year period. The Drop Anchor Brewery would sell kegs to local restaurants and growlers and souvenirs to tasting room visitors. Its tasting room would not offer full meals f...
To The Eagle: In last week’s Eagle, PUD Commissioner Bob Jungers maligned Cathlamet’s water system. He said: “One of the reasons they are in financial difficulty with their system is because their infrastructure has decayed to the point that their water losses are so high that they are manufacturing a lot of water that they’re not selling.” Respectfully, Mr. Jungers lives in a glass house. In Cathlamet’s most recent Annual Performance Report submitted to the Dept. of Health, our 3-year loss rate (2009-11) was 17.4 percent. In the PUD’s Annua...

Wahkiakum PUD Manager Dave Tramblie will not receive a bonus in appreciation for his stewardship of the PUD’s $2.3 million substation construction project that was completed last month. The project was originally projected to cost $3 million but stayed more than $500,000 under budget.

At the utility directors’ February 5 meeting, Com...

WET START-- As I write this on Tuesday, it's a pretty drippy day and it looks like we're stuck in the clouds with no view for sure. But considering that the folks back east are viewing feet of snow, I won't be complaining much. The snowstorm is a horrible mess back there, and for those without power, it's truly a disaster. I certainly hope that by the time you read this, things have improved back there.
