The Washington State Fairs Convention held in Yakima was a great place to share ideas with fair managers and fair board members. I spent three days attending fair workshops and meeting numerous talented entertainers and am bringing home stacks of information to share with our fair board.

To The Eagle: It is hard to make an informed decision on voting when we hear about Oregon candidates and issues and rarely about Washington. I found a great tool on the internet that helped me make informed voting decisions: www.tvw.org/2012-video-voters-guide, or you can go to the Washington State website: www.access.wa.gov and search for video voters pamphlet. Each candidate video taped a presentation. Gerry Brennan Cathlamet...
Share a Sole to help kids in gym class J. A. Wendt Elementary School students are having a shoe drive, collecting used tennis shoes only, in good condition with either laces or velcro.

Wendt entrance starting November 5. It will be there until all children who need shoes have been provided for. Both girls and boys tennis shoes to fit first graders through eighth graders are...
To The Eagle: Several years ago, our economic development gurus attempted to rescue our ailing golf course by slicing off a chunk of it to build golf-oriented condo units. Seemed impractical and our small course certainly didn't need an amputation, but we curmudgeons being neither golf nor economic development experts, the project proceeded. A contractor agreed to build the golf palaces, but only if we provided the sewer line to hook 'em to. This didn't seem kosher but we weren't ethics experts either, so the project rolled on. A local diggin'...
To The Eagle: No one can build a sound economy using a fraudulent money system. I don't care if you are a Democrat, Republican or any other variety of politician or official trying to do so will not work. The proof is right before your very eyes. The debt will not get smaller, the deficit will not go away, things will not get better. Even if you are the most gifted economist in the world, you will not be able to build a sound economy using unsound money. My message is simply this: it will not matter at all who we elect to any office if we do...
To The Eagle: A major thank you to The Eagle and to the Hanigan Law Office and Wahkiakum Title & Escrow for bringing us a quality weekly crossword and Sudoku puzzle. Now hanging with The Eagle lasts twice as long. Might I add, as a suggestion, do not print the answers to the puzzles on the same page as it makes cheating way too easy! Thanks! Rolly and Ginny Armstrong Cathlamet...

Councilmembers approved the budget for the first of three readings on October 15; on Friday, they received some updated figures and discussed some program concepts.

To The Eagle: Prospective voters on Initiative Measure 502 who read the full 17 page text (Voter's Pamphlet, pages 100-117) will notice the deceptively included legalization of hashish as well as marijuana. Hashish is a product of the hemp plant (cannabis), not a "product of marijuana" as implied on page 101 (Part II, Sec. 2, p(2), paragraph beginning '"Marijuana" or "marihuana" means..') Hashish derives from the resin scraped from the flowering tops. It is a more serious hallucinogen, yet in this elaborate proposition it is mentioned only...
To The Eagle: Let me thank the Chamber of Commerce and our county commissioners for hosting last week’s “sewer summit,” and also commend The Eagle for its coverage of that event. One issue that deserves more attention is the role of well-managed public utilities as engines of growth. The Town of Cathlamet operates water and sewer utilities, each with service areas that extend beyond Town limits. These utilities allow development that would otherwise not be possible; homes can be built on lots too small for septic systems, or where drill...
To The Eagle: It is time to vote in Wahkiakum County. This is an extremely important election, both locally and nationwide. I would like to think that our local candidates have the interest of the residents of Wahkiakum County at heart. Not maintaining a residence in another state, as a PUD candidate does. Nor a candidate for county commission whom is an avid supporter of the comprehensive plan (required by law to have one) which if enacted is usually followed by zoning and development laws and ordinances. In today's economy, the comprehensive...
To The Eagle: I am writing this letter to urge support for the Fire District #4 General Obligation Bond to purchase an upgraded fire truck. Before my retirement in 2005, I served in District #4 for 26 years and saw first hand the evolution in fire fighting equipment and safety gear. I can say, with certainty, that the expenditures for these improvements paid off for all the area's firefighters and the people served by them. We purchased the existing truck in 1988 and it has served us well for 24 years. This truck has been well maintained and...
WET AT LAST--Well, we wanted the rain, and we needed the rain and we got the rain, but we also got some winds with it, which we could have done without, but it's that time of year when we can expect these kinds of storms. Of course, this is not to say that we like them as after just a couple of days, I think we were missing all that sunshine we had. However, I think I could hear the field in front of my house going "glug, glug, glug" as it soaked up that rain and within just a couple of days, I had a nice fresh batch of green grass out there,...
Wahkiakum County law enforcement officers and emergency response personnel handled a variety of reports during the past week, including: October 8--12:29 p.m. A West Sunny Sands resident reported that a homeless man had been camping in a lot on Puget Island and refused to leave.

What can people and local government do to lower the rates for Cathlamet's sewer and water utilities? That was the subject of a summit meeting hosted Tuesday afternoon by the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce. Chamber members said the town's utility rates are hurting businesses and people on fixed incomes. Schedule increases will just make the problems worse and threaten the survival of some businesses. Discussion focused on two areas: 1. How to encourage more residences to connect to the sewer and water systems and share in the costs of...
The Wahkiakum County Marine Resource Committee (MRC) has suggested an addition to Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber's proposal to move gillnetting into the side channels of the Columbia River. The MRC has drafted a proposal suggesting that the Cathlamet Channel be classified and used for mixed use fisheries, if the Kitzhaber plan is adopted. Besides limiting gillnetting to side channels and select areas, the Kitzhaber plan would give recreational fishing priority fishing times on the mainstem. Selective commercial gear, which are still in the deve...
