We are starting our Fairgrounds winterization projects! A huge thanks to Ed Stevens, Mark Crary, Barbara Clark and Georgie Billings for moving our big freezers, refrigerators, ice machine, ice cream freezer and stoves out of the food booth and onto the entertainment stage. Our new stage built by Contractor Mark Crary can hold the weight of these appliances because Mark used 2” by 10” floor joists to support the floor. We will hope for a dry winter but we are getting prepared for a wet one. The stage will be the new high and dry home for our...
Wahkiakum County commissioners heard requests to add personnel to two departments when they met Tuesday. Commissioners also passed a resolution taking over responsibility for appointing a manager for the county fair and handled a variety of other business. The board started to hear a request from Sheriff Jon Dearmore to add a new position, emergency services director, but postponed the dicussion upon learning that they hadn't received supporting budget documents from the sheriff's office. Dearmore and Undersheriff Mark Howie have been working t...
To The Eagle: Through this letter, I want to thank and recognize the work of The Charlotte House. Thanks for the opportunity of being admitted to the program and to those directly responsible, I want to congratulate the result and thank the efforts and dedication invested in me, in my process. As a consequence, I am on the verge of getting my permanent residence in the United States of America. Likewise, I want to emphasize the team spirit and fellowship observed during my stay in the months that I was living in the institution. I hope I can...
To The Eagle: I have blissfully sat by and been an armchair critic too long. As a tax-paying voting citizen of our community, I cannot be indifferent to either the mayor or the volunteer firemen's criticism. One must know that the mayor is essentially a full-time volunteer position receiving a paltry salary of $250 a month to supervise about seven full-time employees. As a volunteer, I believe the requirements are to serve your community or organization to the best of your ability with no expectation of compensation. One may learn more about...

RAIN--We ended last week with some rain and began the week with showers, plain ole rain and some good, gusty winds, which brought down a lot of leaves along the roadways; definitely seemed more like Fall! I'd just about forgotten how miserable it can be tromping around in a parking lot in the rain! The good news out of the rainy stretch was that it sure helped calm down those fire fears, as things were tinder dry out there. From now on, we'll be thoroughly enjoying those upcoming dry days, even though they may be shorter and the evening hours...
The Cathlamet Town Council met in special meetings Tuesday to address three issues. First, the council approved a proposal to end a moratorium on new building permits for the Glengate addition. The council adopted the moratorium last year when it appeared the developer and home owners association weren't working together and weren't completing required road construction. On Tuesday, Donal McIntosh, representing the developer, said the association had met and come up with a plan to accomplish the work. They proposed setting up an account with...
To The Eagle: The Town versus Fire Department squabble seems convoluted viewed through the prism of several lengthy articles in The Eagle plus a couple of high pressure meetings, but the source of the contention, the State of Washington Accountability Audit of the Town of Cathlamet is concise, straightforward and eminently readable, even to us primitives out here in the wilds of Puget Island. It clearly states that the fire department has four undeclared checking/savings accounts under the town's tax ID number, plus a petty cash account that...
To The Eagle: When George Wehrfritz ran for mayor of the Town of Cathlamet, I was impressed because I perceived him as being intelligent. After observing his actions and public statements, although I do not know him personally and don't always agree with his positions, I still believe he is intelligent. Wehrfritz, by his actions and public statements, has taught me many things, the most important of which is that the volunteer fire and emergency medical services are far more important to our town than having a town government. If our community...
To The Eagle: Very interesting! The current fire house flap certainly has raised the local blood pressure in a lot of directions. It seems that there is a lynch mob forming to dump the Mayor. Why fire the guy for standing up for the locals whose public contributions are funding this enterprise? Seems to me he's doing what previous mayors chose to ignore! Why kill the messenger? Unfortunately this has all occurred in a volunteer organization which is vital to all in the area. It appears that there should have been sufficient legal expertise...

The Wahkiakum School District Board of Directors last week tabled action on a request for a temporary construction road easement for the Town of Cathlamet.

WARM WEEKEND--After some rain last weekend, it looks like things are heating up this week and it will feel more like Summer than most of Summer felt. So, when Fall officially starts this Friday, we'll be basking in temperatures in the 80s they say, so it's not time to put away the sun screen quite yet. The rain last weekend didn't make those with outdoor plans too happy, but I'm sure all the plants enjoyed the drink and it helped lower our fire danger in the woods, so it was really a good thing. With time ticking away, that batch of rain we...

September 13--2:36 a.m. A...
To The Eagle: I love reading The Wahkiakum County Eagle. However, I dislike reading about the Mayor's personal attack on an upstanding citizen like Jerry DeBriae. Jerry has spent his adult life devoted to the Fire Dept. and the town of Cathlamet. I think the answer is for the Mayor to resign. Paul Bjornsgard Naselle...
HOT ONE--Several days last week were quite toasty, as was half the weekend, so while school started, hunting season began and we are thinking Fall, it felt like Summer had finally shown up and about cooked us all! I'm glad it was cooling off as it was a bit much for some of us, and the poor kids who had to practice and play football in this heat, were certainly not enjoying it. Of course, when it starts raining and blowing, it won't be much fun either. As this work week begins the clouds have moved in and it's about 25 degrees cooler. We may...
