To The Eagle, With continuing increases of atmospheric oxidation product concentrations and hot winds (oxidation produced tri-atomic molecules and hot winds associated with bureaucratic society), increases in habitat will likely occur without the expense of dike breaching. Rising ocean levels, a king tide, and an occasional good cyclone will contribute to no-cost wetlands. Gary Hanson Cathlamet...
To The Eagle: As of December 15, 2012, the Bradley House Inn closed its door for business. We have had 11 years of being an innkeeper and we greatly appreciate all the support from our community. Our dream was to offer something that the town so desperately needed at the time. I remember after buying the Bradley House, we were sitting in the Riverview eating dinner. Six people (a couple and a party of four) were looking for lodging. There was none, so we offered our house for free. After all, we had four empty rooms. Four of those same people...

The Lady Mules were ready to rumble Friday night in Cathlamet. With a solid team effort, they sent Mossyrock home with a loss in what was a very physical game. The Vikings had a slim lead at the half, but the Mules came out of the locker room at the break focused and ready to win. They outscored Mossyrock 25-14 in the final 16 minutes, ultimately winning the game 43-33. “I thought the girls did a good job,” said Coach Rob Garrett. “In the first half, Mossyrock played a better game. Our girls...
WET SNOW?--The big question on everyone's mind is whether or not it is going to snow today (Thursday) as forecasters were saying earlier in the week that we could see more white conditions around the area. I know skiers and folks who love to play in the snow with their 4-wheelers are all excited about it, but as for me, I'll pass! If it does happen to show up, please take extra care and caution when driving around in it, as you may know what you're doing, but that other guy might not! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays this coming week...

This male Anna's Hummingbird was found in John & Nova Lee Knopp's yard in Cathlamet. Unlike the common Rufous Hummingbirds that arrive in February and March and fly south by September, this nonmigratory hummingbird species recently expanded its range into Wahkiakum County, helped by hummingbird feeders such as the Knopps provide. Although a few had been seen earlier, Anna's Hummingbirds first appeared on the Wahkiakum Christmas Bird Count in 2007. A new high count for the circle was set this year with nine found.

To The Eagle: Back in the old days, when dirt was still hot and dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was a kid, if you did not have the money to buy something you wanted you either went without or you got busy and earned the money needed. Or you traded your time or services or something of value you owned for the item you wanted. That was referred to as "living within your means." Somewhere along the line someone came up with the idea of "lending" money. This was promoted as a way to get what you want now and pay later. "Just make one ‘small easy p...

We have in our approved Wahkiakum County Fair budget for 2013, $13,500 to pay out to adult and youth exhibitors. Adults will be receiving the same dollar per point as youth exhibitors again.

NEW YEAR--Here it is: My first column of a new year and onto my 19th year to boot. It seems like yesterday! What a year this has been and with never a dull moment. I guess that's why it went by so fast. Once again we had early deadlines this week, so I do hope your New Year's Eve was a fun one! As 2012 was coming to a close, we wound up having freezing weather and very thick fog out here in West Valley on Sunday and Monday mornings, so while I enjoyed the sunshine that showed up once the fog lifted, the nippy nighttime temperatures and snow in...

Many of us are familiar with Julia Butler Hansen, Cathlamet businesswoman, state legislator and United States congresswoman, and namesake of the diminutive white house at the corner of Main and Butler in Cathlamet.

Thanks to Emily Kintigh, a senior at the University of Denver, Colorado, visitors to the Julia Butler Hansen Heritage Center can learn more about the pioneering family from Maude herself. For the past several months, Kintigh h...
