It’s been a cold and wet October at the Fairgrounds. This type of weather doesn’t bother Search and Rescue (SAR) members or their special dogs. The SAR met at the Fairgrounds last Sunday and held their dog training exercises. I was asked to be a track layer. This was something I didn’t know anything about, so was given instructions by Diane Morrow, the trainer for the six dogs in the SAR program. I was given a walkie talkie, a flag, some pink tape and four objects to hold so my scent was on them. Then I was shown where to start my track layin...

The Cathlamet Town Council gave approval to its proposed budgets for 2012 at its monthly meeting last Monday. The council's finance committee will fine tune the budget for final action at a future meeting. The council also voted 4-1 to uphold a contract with a propane supplier. Councilmember Wally Wright suggested that the contract was invalid because it hadn't been put out to bid or approved by the council, and because Mayor George Wehrfritz had signed it, he should be responsible for the expense. Clerk-Treasurer Tina Schubert responded that...
To The Eagle: I tried for two days to contact Pat Reese to tell her how much I enjoyed her response letter to The Eagle and how surprised I was that a nonresident of the town of Cathlamet felt that the town government was more important than the emergency medical services and fire department. Unless, of course, I misread her letter and/or she misread mine. Ms. Reese did raise an interesting point about the "county seat." Did she know that Cathlamet was the territorial (1870s) and state (1889) "county seat" of Wahkiakum County before it...
To The Eagle: Calculating the unsuitability of solar panels and wind generators for use in public utility grid power involved Boolean algebra and Aristotelian logic and runs something like this: solar panels don't work when the sun don't shine and wind generators don't gen when the wind don't blow and selling power from such a shaky setup is real risky--kinda like handing your teenager the car keys and a six pack. Billionaire T. Boone Pickens invested a few million in wind before he figured this out, but he managed to sell out. The Obama...

Skamokawa – Over 40 people gathered Tuesday to protest the proposed closing of the Skamokawa Post Office. They gathered information about the process, sought to understand the chances of affecting the postal service decision and made a case for the post office as the center of the Skamokawa community. They shared some laughs and left no doubt about their commitment to work to keep the post office doors open. Skamokawa was targeted for closure because it took in less than $27,500 revenue annually and generated less than two hours of...
In the face of increasing demand and fewer donations, Helping Hand Food bank is struggling to meet local need. One of two county food banks, Helping Hand is seeing more new faces and serving more people than they have in the past. “I see the same thing here that I’ve seen at every food bank I’ve ever worked at,” said Helping Hand volunteer Chuck Burton. “People would like to work. For them to need help is demoralizing. Most people don’t know how tough the economy is right now. Some of these people are disabled, but a lot can’t find a job.” Help...
The Cathlamet Town Council took a first look at the preliminary budget for 2012 at a special meeting Tuesday night. In its preliminary form, the budget totals $1.27 million in revenue and $1.29 in expenses, a deficit of $17,000 (numbers are rounded). The council will have to make adjustments in the Current Expense Fund of $60,000 if it wants to end the 2012 year with a cash balance on hand, said Councilmember David Goodroe. The 2011 budget totaled $1.69 million, but it includes uncompleted street improvement work that could be bumped into...
Wahkiakum County commissioners handled a variety of business at their meeting on Tuesday. The board approved a request from the sheriff's department to create a temporary emergency services department. Sheriff Jon Dearmore and Undersheriff Mark Howie explained that the county is picking up grants that formerly went to the Town of Cathlamet for an emergency services director. Howie presented a budget analysis that showed that by assuming the grants, the county could have an emergency services director, the grant revenue would lower the county's...
To The Eagle: Where is the public safety war with the mayor going? The only certain outcome of the mayor's attempted power grab is a drastic weakening of the Cathlamet fire and ambulance service. For no real reason other than a power grab by the mayor putting public safety at risk. So far it has benefited Fire District 4, which has received many new applications from volunteers, which is good for the areas served by District 4, but bad for residents of Cathlamet who are served by the Cathlamet volunteer fire department. This raises the...
To The Eagle: The letter to The Eagle by attorney George Hanigan has raised some serious questions about the direction of the conflict between the fire department and the Town of Cathlamet. The first concern is the actual disagreement between the requirements of the state auditors and the fire districts, in which the auditors apparently were not able to get access to all the required records of the fire districts. Conflict between the state auditors and any government or private entity is not a good scenario. Transparency and open accounting...
NOT NICE--As this week began, the skies opened up and poured rain upon us! It was something else on Sunday afternoon as we haven't seen it rain that hard in awhile now. From the sounds of it, we're going to be in a wet pattern all week long, so I guess it's time to concede that summer really is over and we'd better prepare ourselves for some stretches of nasty weather. There was a glimmer of hope on the last weather report I saw, as a dry patch is scheduled for Saturday; let's hope we get it. This is the time to prepare ourselves for the...
