DRY SPELL--Last Friday was the beginning of the burn ban for our area, and with all this dry weather we've been having, and blazes all over the western states, it's definitely not the time to be lighting a fire to burn any brush. As we head into another stretch of nice weather they say, here's hoping you've been paying attention and not gotten yourself a fine by burning when you shouldn't! Last Friday's cloudy morning and cooler temperatures were just right for working outside, although my back wouldn't really agree with it much, as it's...

This June, Cathlamet resident Cindy Faubion was named Nurse Coordinator of the Year for Southwest Washington and Oregon by the March of Dimes. She was one of 17 nurses honored that day, out of what someone estimated to be 50,000 nurses in Southwest Washington and all of Oregon. "I'm just a small town girl," Faubion said in an interview recently. "I'm just an old fashioned small town girl. I feel kind of humbled going to Portland and getting an award or meeting with the regional chief nursing...
Of all things, Paige Lake was thinking about black chalk last Friday. It was just one of many minor details the director for the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce needed to be addressed for the coming Bald Eagle Days in Cathlamet. The chalk Lake had purchased for the Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest scheduled for Friday, July 14, was colorful, but short on black. The coordinator for the event had asked for more, citing its popularity in past years. So Lake found a recipe online and she and other volunteer...

I hope your Fourth of July was fantastic! As we gear up for summer activities, I wanted to point out that I made an error in last week’s announcements.

With that said, please remember that we have our free Computer Classes and Worksource Job Opportunities and Strategies every first Wednesday of the month from 10 a.m. to noon. Any level of computer skills needed is available. Bald Eagle Days is just around th...

The Wahkiakum County PUD Board of Commissioners gathered for a regular meeting on June 20 and listened to reports and fielded questions from a local business owner about the town’s water and sewer system. Laurel Waller, owner of the Hotel Cathlamet, asked if the PUD was considering taking over the water and sewer system from the Town of Cathlamet. “We are very reticent about assuming responsibilities that could be financially detrimental to the PUD as a whole,” Commissioner Bob Jungers said....
To The Eagle: Doing more with less is a constant in local government. Only when that option is exhausted should doing more with more be considered. In Cathlamet’s case, the proposal to hire a town manager seems ill-conceived and potentially undemocratic. My concerns are as follows: 1) What evidence is there that our quasi-volunteer system is broken? Today, council members and the mayor receive nominal pay for significant work. But is the level of service now provided so deficient as to justify a salaried town manager? 2) Why not increase the m...
To The Eagle: Before Cathlamet, our community was known as Birnie’s Retreat. James Birnie, a Scotch fur trader working for the Hudson Bay Company, is credited with landing his canoes on our shore in 1846. He didn’t come alone. Accompanying him were his wife Charlotte and a boat load of kids. Many boat loads, as the Birnies already had 10 kids and added two more after settling in. In addition to the Birnie Bunch, James brought along Native American slaves to cut down timber, help build shelters, dry fish and plant gardens and orchards for eve...
Cathlamet resident Bob Roche was named Veteran of the Year at the Washington State Veterans of Foreign Wars convention on Friday in Olympia. The honor was a complete surprise to Roche and his wife Esther, who socialize with the couple who not only nominated him but found out well before the event that he had won. "I can't believe they were able to keep that a secret," Roche said on Monday of Donn and Doreen Dale of Toutle Lake. In his letter of nomination, Dale cited Roche's many years of...
HEAT WAS ON!--The forecasters were right when they said it was going to be a warm one this past weekend, as it was plenty hot out here in West Valley! The cloud cover and cooler temps on Monday made for a much more comfortable and welcomed relief from the heat. SLIGHT CORRECTION--If you read my column last week, you would see where the WCHS Museum in Cathlamet is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m., but unfortunately, the "header" on my column said it was open on Friday and Saturday, which is not correct. Sorry for any confusion!...
