Members of the Cathlamet Town Council on Tuesday gave first approval to an ordinance to put the direction of the Cathlamet Fire Department under control of town officials. The department has been operating under an ordinance adopted in 1932 which put control under the Cathlamet Commercial Club, which no longer exists. The latest audit of the town by the Washington State Auditor's office said the arrangement doesn't meet state law and needed to be changed. The ordinance entirely repeals the previous ordinance and provides standards for...
To The Eagle: Work doesn't have to feel like work, even in the pouring rain, as long as you are doing something you believe in and so long as you have a good crew working with you. Last Saturday, a crew of 13 volunteers, plus a very efficient machine, dug 56 fence pole holes and set posts at Erickson Park on Columbia Street. These posts will be the first step toward a fence to protect our community garden from the deer that frequent the park, especially in the early morning hours. In particular, the Friends of the Garden want to thank Dandy...

To The Eagle: I lament the passage of the "gay marriage" bill in our State Capitol yesterday as most of my conservative friends do. I await the petition for the referendum that I will sign to put the matter to the vote of the people of this state (unaccountably named for the father of our nation.) All this hooha in the name of and attainment of "equality." Equality, that chimera of all good liberals, secularists, and statists (communists and collectivists too.) Have any one of these preening, back-slapping politicians in Olympia ever studied...

BEEN NICE--I think the last part of last week and the weekend were definitely mood boosters, as the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and some flowers, like my snowdrops were blooming and it was just great to see the sunshine for more than a day at a time, so it was most enjoyable for sure! I guess I could have done without the wind, which made things a little chillier, but hey, at least we weren't wading through flood waters or digging out of snowbanks like some of the rest of the country was doing. If you happened to be up late on...

Wahkiakum PUD commissioners discussed a coming increase in utility taxes at their February 7 meeting but took no action on the matter. The Cathlamet Town Council passed a resolution in December to increase their utility tax from 3 to 6 percent, and the new tax rate goes into effect February 18. That timing does not coincide with the PUD’s regular meter reading schedule and might necessitate the expense of an additional meter reading cycle, said PUD Auditor Erin Wilson. She reported she has been in conversation with Mayor George Wehrfritz a...

ONCE AGAIN--It seems like only yesterday we were beginning the first month of a new year, but lo and behold, here we are in the second month already. So, how are you doing with those new year resolutions? I hope you're having better luck than me, as it seems the snow, the freezing, the rain and a bug have slowed me down and I've just been spinning my wheels when it comes to plans that need to be worked on, but hopefully I'll kick things in high gear this month or at least that's my newest resolution if I ever get to feeling better! While we...
