Congratulations to all and I look forward to another productive year at the Fairgrounds. Thanks for stopping by the rummage and book sale last Saturday. It was so cold in the T-building that some nice folks made a donation towards the purchase of a heater for me to stand by. I must admit I got very cold at our five hour sale! The next rummage...

To The Eagle: I realize it is hard to get agreement in any group of people. But...what would happen if each and every one of us in the USA and perhaps the world over just decided to ignore the governing agencies and went back to taking responsibility for our own lives? What if people remembered that not too long ago there were no handouts and people made their own way through honesty and hard work? Yes, I realize there were dishonest people and they were tolerated to a point then the vigilance committee met and the person was...
To The Eagle: This has been a bittersweet year for the Cathlamet Seventh-day Adventist Clothing Bank. We have received more donations than ever, the sweet, and we have received more donations than ever, the bitter. Let me clarify this. The sweet has several parts. First, what a wonderful, generous community Cathlamet is and has been. Secondly, most of the clothing has been clean, sorted and folded, which makes the clothing bank run smoothly. And lastly, it has been a joy to meet, visit, and laugh and talk with you about our...

Kyleen Austin has sung the blues in San Francisco, toured the Midwest, and played for 5000 people in New Orleans at a Ray Charles concert. Now, her journey has paused for a time in Wahkiakum County where she is finding inspiration in a quieter way of life and looking back on the road that brought her here. Kyleen heard her musical calling at a young age, when she taught herself to play the piano and sing the popular songs on the radio. She performed in musicals as a teenager, and eventually earned a Bachelor’s degree in English and music at N...
The local effort to find new owners and tenants of the closed Columbia View Care Center found a new hurdle to overcome last week. The real estate investment firm that owns the building, Aviv REIT Inc., of Chicago, offered to sell the building to the Town of Cathlamet earlier this fall. Mayor George Wehrfritz formed two advisory groups to look into possible uses and operational costs of the building. When the groups met last Thursday, however, they learned that Aviv has put the building up for sale in an online auction to be held January 23....

Volunteers working on the drainage project between the horse barn and arena, in spite of the weather, are making some good progress. One ditch was dug, four catch basins set in place and 100 feet of four inch pipe laid out. The pipes and basins are connected, most of the ditch is filled back in and the pipe that is in place is helping to drain the inches of rain we keep receiving each day. It’s not fun to work in the type of weather that you have to wear rain gear all the time, but if you want to complete any projects this time of year, y...
DECENT--It was nice to see some dry weather last weekend after the downpours we experienced previously. It seems our county had its share of flooding, rock slides and miserable conditions last week to deal with, so a spurt of sunshine and fair weather was a welcome relief. On Monday morning our temperatures in West Valley were down in the 20s and things were frosty white. It looks like winter is coming, so we can't be too fooled by the sunshine of the day. Of course, that's not supposed to last long with things warming up and rains returning....

High water may have prevented Wahkiakum PUD commissioners from meeting in Rosburg on November 20, but it did not prevent them from discussing possible expansion of the Western Wahkiakum Water System. Meeting at the PUD’s Cathlamet headquarters, Manager Dave Tramblie reported to the commissioners on information he’d gathered to assess the potential of expanding the water system. He estimated $50,000 in out-of-pocket costs for materials. For the section of the expansion between Salmon Creek Road and Salme Road, a distance of almost a mile, the...
Wahkiakum County commissioners handled a variety of business at their Tuesday meeting. Emergency Management Director Beau Renfro reported he plans to evaluate possible new sites for the county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The center is activated in times of natural disasters or public health emergencies. Currently, the center is in the basement of the River Street Building. However, its quarters are temporarily filled with the Cathlamet municipal library while the old town hall building is remodeled. Renfro has designated the Cathlamet...

WET & BREEZY--The weather forecasters said we might get some nasty weather and by golly, it did get quite blustery wet, so it was a good weekend to sit by the fire for sure. I'm not sure if you had the thunder at your house, but in the wee hours of Sunday morning, it absolutely roared, crashed and banged out here in West Valley. It looks to be a soggy Thanksgiving holiday as well, so I hope all of you that are traveling the roadways are turning those lights on, slowing down in the rain and arriving at your destination all safe and sound! As a...
