A short handed board of Wahkiakum County Commissioners handled a light load of business on Tuesday. The board voted to affirm the distribution of PUD Privilege Tax as recommended by Treasurer Marlena Silva, subject to comparison with values for 2011.

Stanley Sanitary Service submitted the only bid for hauling of the county's recycling boxes. The bid came...

To The Eagle: Debating Obamacare with respect to the commerce clause of the constitution was a messy process, since that poor abused clause is among the most bent and battered by previous incarnations of the Supreme Court, and any finding might have left stray parts of this monstrous law standing. Chief Justice Roberts' brilliant move just lets the law stand but properly identifies it as a tax -- a huge, ugly tax. The current squabble among pols and pundits as to whether it is the largest tax increase in history is beside the point. It is a...

“I have always been patriotic,” said Cathlamet resident Cindy Fudge. “My Dad was in the air force, my brother was in the Navy… but now that my son is the one serving our country, I do the pledge of allegiance and I celebrate Independence Day knowing that my own child is willing to die for this. It makes me so proud. I get it now.” Cindy and her husband Brian were supportive when their middle child Joel, now 21, decided to join the United States Marine Corps straight out of high school. “It’s something that he always wanted to do,” his...

To The Eagle: My name is Carol Wegdahl and I have worked the last 33 years at Columbia View Care Center and I sometimes feel that I am an expert on aging. During the past month I have been helping the residents deal with another loss in the aging process as they are being forced, due to the closure of Columbia View, to find a new place to live within 60 days. When these people first moved to Columbia View, they were already experiencing several losses starting with a change in their health which would require caregivers to assist with things...

There is a big project in progress currently at the fairgrounds; we are rebuilding the pig, sheep and goat stalls.

Each year we don’t know how many pigs, sheep or goats are coming to our Fair until after animal entry day on July 25. All the stalls will be strong enough to hold any combination of these animal exhibits. We have built 18 stalls in the last two weeks, then we had to install an underground drainage pipe which is attached to the arena g...
And so the US Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act last Thursday, in a 5-4 vote. President Obama and his supporters celebrate; Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and a host of other Republican elected officials promise to repeal it if they win the elections this fall. Personally, I hope the act continues to stand. Our nation's health care system is out of control, and we, the people, need to elect officials who will rein it in. By out of control, I mean that corporations are gouging us wherever they can, and that costs are...

SUMMER?--The first true day of Summer wasn't too bad, nor was the next, but then came the weekend and a front moved in with lots of wind beginning on Thursday afternoon, with some rain nailing us on Saturday morning. By evening, the sky had cleared and it wasn't too bad, so while it wasn't perfect, it was certainly better than we expected. Several days have begun wet and then turned out decent, which has caused a muggy effect, but that beats some of the other weather issues that parts of our country are dealing with that are far worse, like...
