Yup, spring is almost here. The baby lambs at Georgene Scott’s are romping and jumping happily in the fields on Altoona/Pillar Rock Road.

We had one day of sunshine and the grass started growing at the Fairgrounds. Thanks to Larry Hendrickson and Dean Seaberg the grass will be mowed, as they brought our equipment back last week. As soon as the tractors arrived projects started getting planned and a few done. Thanks to Ed Stevens, Chuck Gaines, Mike Colver and Barb Clark the water drain is fixed behind the horse barn. As they shoveled out rocks they found the concrete enclosure was crushed and the pipe was squashed flat. It is fixed now and next time, far in the future I hope, we...

After 17 years as an Ace Hardware franchise, Cathlamet Building Materials owner Jim Wilson has decided to change wholesalers and is now working with Orgill.

The Wahkiakum County Fair Board members are Bill Chamberlain, Jim Moten, Joe Blalock, Phil...
I’m starting this column on a very heartwarming note this week. Remember the little missing dog from the Hull Creek area? Well, Cindy and Rick Lahti are happy to announce that their precious Glory has come home after being missing for several weeks. It appears that she may have been picked up by someone because some of her hair had been cut. She may have had to travel some distance to make it back home as she was quite emaciated, but is recovering nicely. I love to tell happy stories. Welcome home, Glory, and I’m happy to see you back with you...
Cathlamet 3rd Street paving project may not take place this year as planned. The project calls for widening the street and installing sidewalks roughly from the Elochoman Slough Marina to the SR 4 intersection, about two blocks in length. Cathlamet town council members thought they would be voting to authorize a call for bids on the project when they met January 25 to hold a meeting postponed from January 17 because of bad weather. Town officials learned in January that the project hadn't taken into consideration the old clay-pipe sewer line th...
DOMINATING WEATHER--Once again the weather has been the dominant source of conversation as the snow began to melt, the lowland areas began to flood and the wind began to howl, which meant trees were coming down, slides were happening here and there and power outages also happened. By the time our neighbors to the south got hammered with most of the rain, and our neighbors to the north were dealing with a batch of snow and freezing rain, we were actually sitting in a pretty good spot by comparison. I have to admit, I'm ready for winter to be...

The Wahkiakum School Board reviewed a policy prepared by athletic staff regarding dual sport participation, learned of an incident of drug abuse at school, and conducted routine business at its meeting Monday. The board learned that five high school students had been involved in inhaling or huffing “canned air.” Products used to clean computer keyboards contain two ingredients, tetrafluoroethane and difluoroethane, which can be fatal when mixed and inhaled. High school Principal Dan Casler said it took quite a bit of investigative work to lea...
To The Eagle: In the past year, the Daily News has had numerous letters referring to the disregard local PUDs have for the payers. The management style seems to be in the image of ENRON. The most telling was at a meeting of Public Utility District #1 of Wahkiakum County this past year when it was announced that there would be no public comment. After a query to the legal counsel of said PUD, I was informed that PUDs are not required to take public input. Question: why are they called Public Utility Districts? P.J. Fleury Cat...

IT'S SNOW TIME!--The big news since Saturday night has been the snow! It began falling around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday and as I begin writing this column, the snow is still coming down in West Valley. The white-out conditions on this Martin Luther King Day have made for some very pretty photos as everything is now under a nice, new blanket of white. With temperatures in the 20s on Sunday night, the new flakes gave us white roads again, and then the several hours of new snowfall began to add up quickly. The birds were not too impressed and...
